How Filipino heroes dressed for battle: OOTDs of Lapu-Lapu, Katipuneros, and Moro warriors

Aug 28, 2023 12:34 PMIt’s National Heroes Day, which means your feed will get flooded with everyone’s favorite Filipino hero. And there’s a deep bench to choose from, like Dr. Jose Rizal, whose multi-hyphenate description includes “reincarnation of Christ '' or “Brown Christ,” as claimed by the Rizalistas.

A bust of Rizal beside his Sto.Nino image; behind is a contemporary talismanic flag associated with the Watawat ng Lahi cult in Banahaw. Overlaid on the flag of the Philippines are power symbols, such as the representations of the Anima Sola, the Infinito and Infinita Dios, as well as Hesus- Jose Rizal.

Lapulapu has even conquered the world of esport when he was named as one of the characters in the popular mobile digital battle arena game titled"Mobile Legends: Bang Bang" which cemented his status as a bonafide rockstar warrior. But let’s not forget about the countless unnamed and unsung heroes, that includes the katipuneros and warriors who fought alongside their leaders. We may not know them, but their heroism lives on, preserved through artifacts, such as the battle or regimental flags recovered from the soldiers who kept them as war booty, as well as pre-hispanic shields, spears, and daggers in museums and private collections.
