Mga Kontribusyon ni Gabriela Silang:

The Order of Gabriela Silang is the sole third class national

decoration awarded by the Philippines, and whose membership is
restricted to women.

In memory of Silang, the provincial hospital of Ilocos Sur was named

the Gabriela Silang General Hospital.

The organisation and party list GABRIELA ("General Assembly

Binding Women for Reforms, Integrity, Equality, Leadership, and
Action"), which advocate's women's rights and issues, was founded
in April 1984 in her honour.

A statue of Silang on horseback was installed by the Zóbel de Ayala

Family at the corner of Ayala and Makati avenues in Makati City,
the nation's financial centre. The metal monument was cast by
José M. Mendoza in 1971, and was inaugurated by Silang's
descendants Gloria Cariño and Mario Cariño Merritt.[7]

Another monument stands in the town plaza of Pidigan, Abra, as a

reminder of the heroine, whom the town claims as a native.[8]

The Tangadan Welcome Tunnel in Abra now has the Gabriela

Silang Memorial Park with a monument to the heroine.[8]

BRP Gabriela Silang (OPV-8301) is named after her.

On September 10, 1763, Silang tried to besiege Vigan but the Spanish
pretaliated, forcing her into hiding. She retreated once more to Abra,
where the Spanish later captured her. On September 20, 1763, Silang
and her troops were executed by hanging in Vigan's central plaza.

Gabriela Silang successfully led her men through their first battle in her
hometown, Santa. After the Spaniards devastating loss against
Gabriela, the Spanish were insistent on defeating Gabriela. They had
never before felt threatened by a Filipina woman. Gabriela and her
men then traveled to Pidigan, Abra to establish a new base. Pidigan
was not too far from Santa, but the Spanish could not track down the
rebels due to the land’s rocky soil. In Pidigan, Gabriela was reunited
with her mother after being parted since her childhood.

Due to resistance among the rebels, the Spanish authorities

prepared a special kind of death for her. Gabriela was brought to
the town plaza one morning and hanged before a curious crowd of
Spaniards. The brave Gabriela, then only 32 years old, went calmly
and courageously to her death. To this day, the final resting place of
Gabriela Silang remains unknown. Her undaunted determination,
along with her skill and strength is what the people of the Philippines
will never forget, and why she is regarded as the pioneering female
Bayani. Today her courageous leadership became a symbol for the
importance of women in Filipino society, and their struggle for
liberation during colonization.

Gabriela Silang is an “Anti-colonial fighter of the Philippines”

she is a brave person and amazing person, because of her
bravery,she is famous and well-known by people in the
Philippines. She is also a strong person and a fighter.
