Delfina Herbosa de Natividad


Delfina Rizal Herbosa de Natividad was a Filipino renowned for being one of the three women, together with Marcela Agoncillo and her daughter Lorenza, who seamed together the Philippine flag, and for being the niece of the National Hero of the Philippines, Jos Rizal.

Delfina Rizal Herbosa was born on December 20, 1879 in Calamba, Laguna to Mariano Herbosa and Lucia Rizal, sister of Jos Rizal, and she is of Spanish, Chinese and Japanese descent. At the age of thirteen, she joined the Katipunan because her desire to fight oppression after her father was denied a Christian burial by the Spanish friars because of the claim that he did not go to confession, although the apparent reason is that they were related to Jos Rizal, whose novel Noli me Tangere exposed the abuses of the Spaniards.
