Today, March 19, is the 281st birth anniversary of Gabriela Silang, known as the first Filipino woman to lead an uprising against a foreign power.  She accompanied her husband, Diego Silang, during his revolt against the Spanish government and upon his death, took command of the rebel forces.  She was eventually captured and publicly hanged on Sept. 20, 1763.—Schatzi Quodala, Inquirer Research
