Councilor wants to declare Gregoria de Jesus as Caloocan’s hero

We’re not going to object to this.

“Caloocan City councilor Karina Teh has filed a resolution declaring Gregoria de Jesus, wife of Filipino hero Andres Bonifacio, as the hero of Caloocan,” reports Ed Mahilum in Manila Bulletin.

Teh pointed out that De Jesus, who is now on her 130th anniversary, played an active role in the Katipunan and is “a good example not only to women, but to the youth as well.”
