For her role in the Philippine revolution, we celebrate Gregoria “Ka Oriang” de Jesus’ legacy as a hero. After fighting for the country’s freedom as the muse of the Katipunan, she then proved to be a loving and caring mother to her children, a feat no less than as important for the nation.
'Her cooking was so popular among their relatives that she was always the designated cook for family gatherings'Ka Oriang ‘s second wedding to Andres Bonifacio was officiated by the Katipuneros, followed by her initiation into the revolutionary organization, making the Lakanbini of the Katipunan. The first wedding took place at the Binondo Church in March 1893 in deference to her parents who formerly opposed their romantic relationship.
She was separated from Bonifacio when he was arrested and faced trial in Maragondon, Cavite. After his disappearance and execution, Ka Oriang spent a month looking for his remains, unfortunately her search was in vain. “Her cooking was so popular among their relatives that she was always the designated cook for family gatherings. She was so good at it that she could tell the ingredients of a certain dish just by tasting it,” wrote Kintanar.
She instilled in them the teachings of the Kartilya, taught them to be respectful and obedient, and reinforced discipline. She also wrote her “Ten Advice to the Youth” based on the Kartilya. According to her grandchildren, her ultimate advice is “palaging buo ang loob” .
