Gregoria de Jesus: Heart of Revolution

She wasn't just a revolutionary's wife—she was the heart of a revolution. In the late 1800s,

when the Philippines was under Spanish colonial rule, a young woman named Gregoria de Jesus

joined the Katipunan, a secret society fighting for independence. While men plotted uprisings,

she became the keeper of their most dangerous secrets. She sewed coded messages into clothing,

hid documents under her skirts, and guarded the revolution's plans with her life.

One mistake meant death. She married Andrés Bonifacio, the Katipunan's

founder, and together they fought side by side. But revolution demands sacrifice.

She lost her husband to betrayal and execution, yet she never stopped serving her country.
