Marcela Marcelo (1869–1897), also known as Selang Bagsik (Fierce Sela) and Henerala Sela, was a fearless Filipina revolutionary from Malibay, present-day Pasay City. Remembered as one of the remarkable female military leaders of the Philippine Revolution, she joined the struggle against Spanish colonial rule in 1896 and led a group of Filipino revolutionaries in Cavite.
