At the age of thirteen, she joined the Katipunan because her desire to fight oppression after her father was denied a Christian burial by the Spanish friars because of the claim that he did not go to confession, although the apparent reason is that they were related to José Rizal, whose novel Noli me Tangere exposed the abuses of the Spaniards. Natividad was married to Jose Salvador, whom she met in the Katipunan, and who later became a general of the Philippine Revolution. Portrayed by Jenny Javier in the 2012 film, El Presidente.
