June 24, 2026 marks the 170th birth anniversary of 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 (June 24, 1856 – April 25, 1926). He was one of Antique’s most distinguished sons—a lawyer, educator, public servant, and governor whose life was dedicated to the advancement of his province, Antique.
Join us as we honor 𝘝𝘐𝘊𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘌 𝘎𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘈, a 19th-century Antiqueño intellectual who championed education and social awakening during the Spanish colonial period. A contemporary of José Rizal and the Reform Movement, Gella’s life exemplifies how dignity and knowledge can spark profound communal change.
Through his story, we celebrate the enduring contributions of Antiqueños to the Philippine narrative. Gella’s commitment to the greater good serves as a timeless reminder that service to others is the foundation of a meaningful legacy, one that continues to inspire deep pride in our identity as Antiqueños.
