Answer 7

That chick on the 1000-peso bill (there's three of them there... two guys and a chick). I don't know her name, I don't know what she's done, but I'm sure she's on that note.

Being on a Philippine denomination, SHE MUST have done something heroic / important.

If not, we might as well replace Ninoy's image with Kris on the 500 buck bill.
