Teresa Magbanua y Ferraris (October 13, 1868 – August 1947), better known as Teresa Magbanua and dubbed as the "Visayan Joan of Arc", was a Filipino schoolteacher and military leader. Born in Pototan, Iloilo, Philippines, she retired from education and became a housewife shortly after her marriage to Alejandro Balderas, a wealthy landowner from Sara, Iloilo.[1] When the 1896 Philippine Revolution against Spain broke out, she became one of only a few women to join the Panay-based Visayan arm of the Katipunan, the initially secret revolutionary society headed by Andrés Bonifacio.[2]
Despite opposition from her husband, Magbanua followed her two younger brothers and took up arms against the Spaniards,[3] leading troops into combat and winning several battles under the command of General Martin Delgado.[4] Magbanua is credited as the only woman to lead troops in the Visayan area during the Revolution.[5] Shortly thereafter, Magbanua shifted to fighting American colonial forces during the Philippine–American War.[1][6]
She is one of the few Filipinos to have participated in all three resistance movements against the three major colonizers: Spain (in the Philippine Revolution), the United States (in the Philippine–American War), and Japan (in World War II).[7]
