I think it's a very fitting tribute that Maria Orosa's remains we're finally found and re buried. On the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Manila after being lost for so long.

This Araw ng Kagitingan 🎖️ (Day of Valor), we honor not only the brave soldiers—but also the incredible Filipina women whose courage changed the course of World War II. 🇵đź‡âś¨
They were guerrilla commanders, fearless spies, medics, inventors, and survivors of unimaginable horrors. Kumander Liwayway led ambushes in full uniform and lipstick 💄, Maria Orosa created banana ketchup to fight hunger 🍌, Josefina Guerrero, the “Leper Spy,” smuggled intelligence past enemy lines 🗺️—and so many more whose stories deserve to be told.
Let’s remember their sacrifices and make sure their valor is never forgotten.
