Gregoria Montoya y Patricio (18631896) was a Filipina revolutionary who fought during the Philippine Revolution.[1] To avenge her husband, also a revolutionary who died during the Revolution, Montoya led a 30-member unit of the Katipunan, wielding a bolo on one hand and carrying the Katipunan flag in the other at the Battle of Binakayan-Dalahican. She was killed in action during the battle, but her leadership contributed to a decisive Filipino victory.[2] [3]
