Today in Philippine history August 24, 1896, the Katipuneros took refuge at Tandang Sora's house
On August 24, 1896, the Katipuneros (revolutionaries) arrived at the house of Melchora Aquino in Banlat (now Tandang Sora District, Quezon City), which became a refuge for sick and wounded Katipuneros.

Tandang Sora (Melchora Aquino)
Melchora Aquino, popularly called Tandang Sora, as she was already 84 at that time when the Philippine Revolution broke out in 1896, played an important role in the Filipino revolution against the Spanish colonizers.
She fed, gave medical attention to and encouraged the revolutionaries with motherly advice and prayers; as well as secret meetings of the Katipuneros were also held at her house. With these, she gained the title Grand Woman of the Revolution and the Mother of Balintawak for her heroic contributions to Philippine history.
The Spanish authorities arrested and exiled her to Guam for her participation in the revolution. In 1903, the Americans allowed her and other exiles to return to the Philippines.
She declined material rewards from the government for her patriotic services and sacrifices.
To her, rewards did not matter despite the fact that she lived in poverty. She was contented with the fact that she had supported the Katipunan.
Because of her heroism, a place in Quezon was named after her. The place is now known as Tandang Sora, Quezon City.
She died on March 2, 1919 at the age of 107.
Her remains lie in her own backyard (now as Himlayang Pilipino Memorial Park, Quezon City).
