Nieves Fernandez was a teacher turned guerrilla leader during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines and is credited with(among other things) the killing of an estimated 200 Japanese soldiers primarily with the use of concealed bolo knives. As well as leading a group of 110 fighters resisting the occupation. She would train them in tactics involving stealth & speed, to swiftly open soldiers’ carotid arteries and vacate the scene before anyone could figure out what was happening. And is believed(as the meme references) to have killed a Japanese soldier entering her own classroom with an improvised firearm.
