It is a monument dedicated to the Bicolano hero Jose Maria Panganiban, who was an active member of the La Solidaridad Propaganda movement during the waning days of Spanish Colonial Rule.
The monument to Jose Maria Panganiban is in front of the Gabaldon building at the Naga Central School 1, Naga, Camarines Sur, Philippines, and was erected in 1930 by the school's Parents-Teachers Association, 30 years after his death. It is said to be the oldest existing monument of the Bicolano hero. It has been neglected for years and was scheduled for demolition had it not been for the timely intervention of a Naga City councilor during an inspection of the heritage building.
