Bayaning Filipina

Welcome to Part 2 of our season finale feature special. Today we will talk about Leticia Jimene-Magsanoc, one of the founders of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, where she was editor-in-chief from the mid 90’s to 2015. But before that, she fearlessly worked on telling the Filipinos the truth about what was happening in the nation in the time when journalism was strictly controlled by the regime.

Our 5th episode features a schoolteacher who witnessed the oppression being done to her countrymen during the time of the Japanese occupation and decided to fight back, especially as the threat came to her students and the people around her. She became the first and only female guerilla commander in the Philippines.

This week is a full regular episode featuring the story of Teresa Magbanua: a schoolteacher, then a housewife, who became a revolutionary leader. She led her troops to several victories which earned her the monicker "The Visayan Joan of Arc".

This is the first bonus episode podcast, and we will feature the ferocious Henerala, Selang Bagsik. There is very little known about her life, aside from the personal accounts of those who saw her in battle.  However, she remains to be the pride of Malibay.
