About Diego Silang
- Diego Silang (Spanish: ['dje?o si.'la?g]): December 16, 1730 – May 28, 1763) was a Filipino revolutionary leader who conspired with British forces to overthrow Spanish rule in the northern Philippines and establish an independent Ilocano state.
- His revolt was fueled by grievances stemming from Spanish taxation and abuses, and by his belief in self-government, that the administration and leadership of the Roman Catholic Church and government in the Ilocos be invested in trained Ilocano officials.
- He met an Itneg woman with the name of Gabriela Cariño.
- He married her and raised a family in the Ilocos Province.
