Bruna "Brunang" Fabrigar The Pulahan historic leader Daniel Codilla Talde. Iloilo City UP Visayas 2007. pp. 49-73. "My paper documented the story of Bruna "Bunang" Fabrigar in the Pulahan Movement of Samar by looking into her personal information, contribution to the Pulahan Movement and the circumstances that influenced her to join the movement. I used memory documents primarily to give an in-depth account of her life drawn from the very people who saw, met and lived with her in the municipality of Paranas, Western Samar and its neighboring towns. The memory documents were supplemented with textual data that have bearing on Pulahanism, millenarianism and women in history. My paper showed that aside from her being a fantastic resistance fighter, Bunang was an attractive woman, tawhanon (humane), tambalan (faith healer) and an efficient farmer, among others. Bunang's contributions to the Pulahan Movement ranged from her being a resistance fighter during the early Pulahan campaign in Samar, founded of the Pulahanism at Minarog during World War II, being the movement's moral uniting force and provider of temporal needs. Her involvement in Pulahanism was ignited by her geographic, economic, socio-cultural and political experiences in the early 20th century. Bunang's Pulahanism shared the same characteristics with other Pulahanism of the major islands in the Visayas, that is, the Pulahanism of Bunang is also categorized by authorities as an outlaw with a seditious-religious creed. With this characterization, Pulahanism fell into the realm of millenarism for it pursued a mystical path to redemption as manifested on the belief in supernatural. Being peasant millenarians, Pulahanes adopted confrontation as a form of resistance. Bunang's role as a historic Filipina is manifested in her having a very strong commitment to freedom and self-determination in the midst of her basic social setting."
