The Gabriela Silang Memorial Shrine, located in Sitio Pideg, Magsaysay, Santa, Ilocos Sur, is a poignant tribute to one of the Philippines’ most celebrated heroines. Situated in her birthplace, this shrine honors Gabriela Silang’s bravery and leadership in resisting Spanish colonial rule. The centerpiece of the memorial is a dramatic statue of Gabriela on horseback, brandishing a bolo, symbolizing her resolute spirit and warrior ethos.
