The muse of the Katipunan is a loving mother, too
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.
Ka Oriang as a Katipunera
Ka Oriang ‘s second wedding to Andres Bonifacio was officiated by the Katipuneros, followed by her initiation into the revolutionary organization, making the Lakanbini (muse) of the Katipunan. The first wedding took place at the Binondo Church in March in deference to her parents who formerly opposed their romantic relationship.
As a katipunera, Ka Oriang swore to follow the Kartilya ng Katipunan and served as custodian of the seal, guns, and documents of the secret society from Spanish authorities. She founded its women's chapter and led as its vice president. She also helped sew the Katipunan flag. Her married life was mostly spent fleeing, hiding in the mountains, and enduring many hardships for her love of Bonifacio and the country.
While Ka Oriang’s married life was blessed with a son born i

QUOTE
"Some of my important experiences during the Revolution are as follows: I had no fear of facing danger, not even death itself, whenever I accompanied the soldiers in the battle, impelled as I was then by no other desire than to see unfurled the flag of an independent Philippines, and I was present in and witnessed many encounters.

The musical life and times of Julio Nakpil
On his th birth anniversary on May 22, a composer-patriot was honored with a documentary called “The Music of Julio Nakpil” courtesy of musicians of the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music.
As his story unfolds, you hear samplings of music he had composed at various times in the history of the country.
Quite poignant was the rendition of Nakpil’s “Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalogan” as interpreted by Acapellago in the opening with arrangement by Joshua Cadelina.
The piece was most apt as it was recorded in the historic Bahay Nakpil in Quiapo.
Nakpil’s “Zefiro” was interpreted by pianist Raul Sunico and it was followed by analysis of some of the patriot’s piano works among them the “Kundiman,” “Pasig Pantayanin” and “Ilang-Ilang,” among others.
As narrators recall significant occasions in the history of the revolution in the country, you appreciate Nakpil’s “Amor Patria” which served as formidable backdrop as interpreted by Jasmin Salvo (soprano), Mari Angeli Nicholas (oboe) and Dingdong Fiel (piano).
Quite moving was the reprise of “Marangal Na Dalit Sa Katagalogan” as rendered by Coro Tomasino with Radnel Ofalsa, J

Si Julio Nakpil (Húl·yo Nak·píl) ay isang kompositor at rebolusyonaryo. Isinilang siyá noong 22 Mayo sa Quiapo, Maynila kina Juan Nakpil, isang musikero at alahero, at Juana Garcia. Nakapag-aral siyá sa Escuela de Instruccion Primaria sa Quiapo nang dalawang taón. Nagaral naman siyá ng pagtugtog ng biyolin sa ilalim ni Ramon Valdes at piyano sa ilalim ni Manuel Mata. Noong, nalikha niya ang una niyang piyesa, isang polka. Naging guro siya ng pagtugtog ng piyano at nagpatuloy sa paglikha ng mga tugtugin.
Noong Himagsikang , naging kumander siya ng mga rebolusyonaryo sa hilaga sa ilalim ni Andres Bonifacio. Karamihan sa kaniyang mga komposisyon sa panahong iyon ay naimpluwensiyahan ng rebolusyon. Isinulat niya ang sagradong awit ng Katipunan, ang Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan, sa hiling ni Andres Bonifacio. Matapos ang sinasabing iniutos na pagpatay kay Bonifacio, nakatanggap din siyá ng mga banta sa kaniyang buhay.
Matapos ang rebolusyon, pinakasalan niya si Gregoria de Jesus, ang biyuda ni Bonifacio. Lumipat silá sa Maynila at nagkaroon ng anim na anak. Isa sa mga ito ay si Juan Nakpil, ang naging Pambansang Alagad ng Sining sa Ar
