Jose Maria Panganiban's Monument is a bronze statue (9 ft. tall) erected in honor of Jose Maria Panganiban. The monument stands right in front of the Jose Panganiban Municipal Hall and contains the remains of the martyr, which have been laid below it, inside the center of the monument’s base.

Jose Ma. Panganiban y Enverga (February 1, 1863 - August 19, 1890) was a Filipino Propagandist in Spain and a hero dubbed as the “Avenger of Filipino Honor”, who was born in Mambulao (former name of the Municipality of Jose Panganiban). His life was tragically cut short, an event that caused great mourning in the Filipino community in Madrid. He wrote articles for La Solidaridad, under the pen names "Jomapa" and "J.M.P."
