Lakambini Gregoria de Jesus reclaims the voice of an underrecognized heroine—beloved by two revolutionaries of the Philippine Revolution of 1896, the first in Asia to revolt against colonial power. The film reframes the traditional narrative of leadership by highlighting the vital yet often overlooked role of women in the fight for nationhood. For Oriang was more than just a wife, she was a revolutionary in her own right, confronting not only Spanish colonizers but also betrayal and political intrigue from her fellow Filipinos. After her husband’s execution, Oriang faced new struggles but emerged as a symbol of resilience and patriotism.
