Cristina Catalla
Melania Cristina Catalla was an anti-martial law activist who belonged to a network of community organizations in the Southern Tagalog region in the Philippines whose disappearance on July 31, 1977, became a rallying cry of the Philippine resistance against the Marcos dictatorship.
Catalla's name is inscribed on the Wall of Remembrance at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani, a memorial that honors martyrs and heroes who fought the dictatorship. She is also one of heroes honored by the University of the Philippines Los Baños in its 'Hagdan ng Malayang Kamalayan' memorial.
