Trinidad Tecson
Known as the “Mother of Biak na Bato,” Trinidad Tecson was the first Filipina known to have taken part in “Sandugo” or a blood compact.
Tecson fought side-by-side with the revolutionary men. She fought 12 bloody battles in Bulacan.
Among her most valuable contributions in the Philippine revolution was the capture of firearms from a jail in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija after raiding a courthouse in Caloocan.
At one time, when the Katipuneros lacked firearms, Tecson with three companions went to a courthouse in Caloocan defeated the civil guards and seized their guns. She then led a group of five men and proceeded to a jail in San Isidore where he was able to capture more firearms after subduing the jail guards.
