Inang Bayan Monument

Inang Bayan Monument (Gapan City, Nueva Ecija): What it commemorates and what you can verify on-site

Inang Bayan Monument is associated online with Barangay San Vicente / San Vicente Plaza in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija. A Department of Tourism (Philippines) page about Gapan City states that Gapan “contributed thirteen heroes or martyr[s] killed by the Spaniards,” and that—in recognition of their sacrifices—the city government erected a monument at the San Vicente Plaza called “Inang Bayan,” where their names were engraved.

Separately, a Wikimedia Commons file description for “Inang Bayan, Barangay San Vicente, Gapan City” describes a monument and memorial with inscriptions of Gapan City heroes and martyrs, located beside The United Methodist Church of Gapan West. Commons

### Quick facts you can safely publish (verified)
– Name: Inang Bayan (as cited in the Gapan City tourism page).
– City/Province: Gapan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.
– Stated placement: San Vicente Plaza (Gapan City tourism page).
– What it honors (as described): Gapan’s revolutionary martyrs/heroes (the same tourism page describes them as “thirteen” killed by the Spaniards).
– Site context clue: A Wikimedia description places the memorial beside The United Methodist Church of Gapan West. Commons

### Address + at the mapped coordinates (cannot confirm from authoritative sources)
You provided: 585 Delos Reyes St, Gapan City, Nueva Ecija and 15.3095607, 120.9451525.
I did not find an authoritative government or mapping-source page in the materials above that confirms that exact street address or those exact coordinates as the monument’s official listing. (The strongest location reference I can cite is San Vicente Plaza / Barangay San Vicente.)

If you’re publishing this post, the most defensible phrasing is: “San Vicente Plaza, Barangay San Vicente, Gapan City, Nueva Ecija” (and optionally keep the street address/coordinates in your backend data as “provided—needs verification”).

## Why this monument matters in Gapan’s local history

The Department of Tourism page frames the monument within Gapan’s role in the anti-Spanish uprising in Nueva Ecija. It notes that Nueva Ecija is represented by one of the eight rays on the Philippine flag (a standard marker used in that page to contextualize the province’s revolutionary participation), and specifically states that participants in the uprising came from Gapan City, San Isidro, Cabiao, and Peñaranda, led by Pantaleon Valmonte.

The same page then makes two publishable claims that connect directly to “Inang Bayan”:
1. Gapan contributed “thirteen” heroes/martyrs killed by the Spaniards, and
2. The city government honored them by erecting the “Inang Bayan” monument at San Vicente Plaza and engraving their names, and by naming streets after them.

### Names (as listed on the tourism page)
The tourism page provides a list of names in its “Revolutionary martyrs of Gapan” section—but the list shown there appears incomplete relative to the “thirteen” it mentions. The names it explicitly lists are: Epifanio Ramos, Quintin Tinio, Faustino Delos Reyes, Leocadia Liwag, Valentin Liwag, Severino Changco, Saturnino Magno, and Ramon Tinawin.

Because you requested “only factual information,” it’s safest to publish only the names actually displayed in that source, and avoid adding names from less-auditable compilations.

## What you’ll likely see on-site (only what sources support)

Based on the Wikimedia description, this is not just a freestanding marker—it’s described as a “Monument and Memorial with inscriptions of Gapan City heroes and martyrs.” Commons

That same description also gives a concrete navigation clue: it is beside The United Methodist Church of Gapan West (useful for visitors who are orienting themselves without relying on a potentially-wrong street address). Commons

## Practical visitor notes you can publish without guessing

### Best way to describe the location in your article
Use San Vicente Plaza, Barangay San Vicente, Gapan City, Nueva Ecija as the primary location line, because it’s explicitly stated in a public tourism page.

### How to avoid publishing wrong map data
Because your street address + coordinates aren’t confirmed by the sources above, the clean approach is:
– On-page: show the San Vicente Plaza location (cited).
– Backend: keep the mapped coordinates, but label them “needs verification.”
– Editorial note (optional): “Some listings place this memorial on/near Delos Reyes St; verify exact pin before you go.”

That keeps the post factual and honest while still being useful.

## Data freshness + inclusivity checks

– Data freshness: The tourism page content is informational and may not reflect recent changes (renovations, signage updates, or street re-numbering). It does, however, provide stable historical framing (uprising participation, the ‘Inang Bayan’ monument at San Vicente Plaza).
– Inclusivity: The martyr list shown includes at least one woman (Leocadia Liwag) alongside men, which supports framing the memorial as honoring multiple community figures, not a single archetype of “hero.”

## Internal links
You asked for two contextual internal links, but I cannot add factual internal links without knowing which RealJourneyTravels.com URLs already exist (and you asked to return only information I can be 100% sure about).
