General Licerio Topacio (1839–1925) was a leader in the Philippine Independence movement. Born in Imus, Cavite, on August 27, 1839 to Miguel Topacio, a former gobernadorcillo, and Marta Cuenca, the young Licerio finished his studies in Imus. He was not able to pursue higher education in Manila. But he kept on developing his inborn talent by self-study, and when the Revolution broke out he showed exceptional leadership in battle. After the Philippine–American War Topacio was twice appointed as municipal president of Imus. He died on April 19, 1925 at the age of 86.
