I don't know if it's cool or not but my great grandmother sheltered Japanese troops in our house so they wouldn't kill the community. She's still alive. Sh's a 104 years old man and she tells me everyday how she kicked her husband's arse.
Anyways, I was told that I was related to this female 'katipunera' which basically is a female joining the resistance against the Spaniards before. Her name was Melchora Aquino, I think. Apparently, my great great grandmother, she's dead, was a katipunera and was rich, I think.
I had fun while reading all of the posts. Couldn't stop laughing, sorry
