Day 26 of 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐈𝐒 ✨

𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐨 — together with her husband, Eulalio Villavicencio — contributed a lot of their fortune and effort in support of the Philippine Revolution. They often let their home, the 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐨, as a refuge and a secret meeting place for Andres Bonifacio, Miguel Malvar, Felipe Calderon, and many more.

Being born in a wealthy family, Gliceria Marella also lent Dr. Jose Rizal the money he needed in order to publish his novels — 𝐍𝐨𝐥𝐢 𝐌𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐞 and 𝐄𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐨 — and supported the publication of 𝐋𝐚 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝 in Spain which is worth ₱18,000. In exchange, Juan Luna painted portraits of the couple, which have since become the most well-known image of Gliceria Marella following her passing in 1929.

𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 was given the title of 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚-𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐳𝐚𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬 or the 𝑮𝒐𝒅𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓-𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒔 by General Emilio Aguinaldo at the declaration of the Philippine independence on June 12, 1898, recognizing the efforts and the huge portions of her contributions to the revolution.
