As a token of gratitude, a Quezon City barangay and a road were named after Tandang Sora. Her
profile was also placed in the Philippines' five-centavo coin from 1967-92. She was the first Filipina
who appears on a Philippine peso banknote, in this case, a 100-peso bill from the English Series
(1951–66). Tandang Sora Street in the city of San Francisco, California, USA, is named in her
honor.[citation needed]
In 2012, on the celebration of her 200th birthday, the Local Government of Quezon City decided to
transfer Tandang Sora's remains from Himlayang Pilipino Memorial Park to the Tandang Sora
National Shrine in Quezon City. The city government also declared 2012 to be Tandang Sora Year. [9]

Her descendants carry different surnames, with almost all living in Novaliches and Tandang Sora
districts in Quezon City as well as in Guam such as Figueroa, Ramos (her husband’s surname),
Geronimo, Eugenio, Cleofas and Apo.[12]
