Teodora Alonso Realonda y Quintos (November 9, 1827 – August 16, 1911) was a wealthy woman in the Spanish colonial Philippines.

Teodora Alonso was also a representative in the Spanish Courts and a pious Catholic, being a Knight of the Order of Isabella.

Realonda came from a financially able family and studied at the Colegio de Santa Rosa in Manila, just like her mother who was well-bred and had an educational background in the subjects of mathematics and literature.

They are Saturnina, Paciano, Narcisa, Olympia, Lucia, Maria, José, Concepcion, Josefa, Trinidad and Soledad.

"[7] Teodora’s half-brother, Jose Alberto, wanted to divorce his wife, whom he alleged to be having an affair with another man.

Quick like a bolt of lightning, Teodora was hauled to jail by the mayor, Antonio Vivencio del Rosario, a known yes-man of the friars.

A judge who did not like the way he was treated at the Mercado-Rizal house, ordered that Teodora be imprisoned in Santa Cruz, the capital of the province.

There was a guard there and the judge knocked and broke his cane on the poor man’s head then beat up the owner of the house.

To this, the Supreme Court was persuaded but since Teodora’s wait in prison was longer than the sentence, ordered her release.

Teodora finally regained freedom after two and a half years, as ordered by none other than the Governor General, who was charmed one fiesta day in Laguna by a daring little girl.

Because of this, the government offered Teodora a lifetime pension as a token of gratitude, after Rizal was declared the national hero of the Philippines.

[1][10][11] Her remains were interred at a mausoleum in Cementerio del Norte, Manila, joining that of her husband Francisco, before being transferred to their current tomb at Rizal Shrine in Calamba, Laguna.
