When we talk about a teacher, what comes into mind is a sweet, loving but strict person that will shape our future. They are also considered as our second parents. In our second home which is the school.

But are you aware that sometime during World War II, a teacher took justice on her hands and killed hundreds if Japanese soldiers to protect his students and her beloved country? Her name was Nieves Fernandez. A strong and independent woman who made history for herself.

Our hero, Nieves Fernandez was a school teacher in Tacloban. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941 everyone's life was changed. Her students call her “Miss Fernandez,” and she was very protective of them. Her fierce motherly instincts reared to the fore when the Japanese threatened to kill her students. She shifted from being a motherly school teacher to a stealthy lone assassin, and responsible for killing over 200 Japanese soldiers in war II.

At the point when the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941, they removed all the assets of Filipinos. Nobody was permitted to possess any organizations, and nobody was permitted to teach anything aside from those endorsed by Imperial Japan.

In her old neighborhood of Tacloban, the Japanese constrained entrepreneurs into accommodation by dousing them in burning water.

Fernandez told a correspondent from the Lewiston Daily Sun in November 1944. "They took all that they needed."

Fernandez chose to assume control over issues after the Japanese took away her assets and private venture and took steps to take away her students too.

Fernandez got known as "The Silent Killer." Alone and wearing all-dark clothing, she would set up ambushes in the wilderness outfitted uniquely with a makeshift shotgun, which she made out of a gas line, and her bolo.

For over two years, Fernandez did ambushes all alone. She would head into the wilderness shoeless, taking out many adversary troops alone.

The Japanese became so pissed of Fernandez that they chose to put a P10,000 ($30,944 in today's money) bounty on her head in the desperation that her kindred Filipinos would double-cross her. But despite the huge amount of money, nobody took the job.

All through the war, Fernandez and her 110-in number organization would free detainees of war, harm Japanese supplies, and direct many assaults on the Japanese Imperial Army in the Philippines.

Around the end of World War II and when the Americans showed up on Leyte in 1944, Fernandez and her guerrilla powers had just freed numerous towns from the Japanese and liberated many solace ladies.
