14. Cry of Balintawak or Pugad Lawin
IT IS SURPRISING that there are different versions
on the dates for first cry of the revolution as well
as its venue. This controversy up to this time
remains unsolved. It is believe that the so-called
Cry took place in Balintawak; but others would say
that it really happened on Pugad Lawin..

15. CRY
Originally the term CRY referred to the first clash between
the Katipuneros and the Civil Guards (Guardia Civil).

The cry could also refer to the tearing up of community tax
certificates in defiance of their allegiance to Spain.
The inscriptions of “Viva la Independencia Filipina” can also
be referred as term of the cry.

17. Pio Valenzuela’s Controversial “Cry of Pugad Lawin”
August 23, 1896
In his first version, he told that the prime staging point of the
Cry was in Balintawak on Wednesday of August 26, 1896. He
held this account when the happenings or events are still vivid
in his memory. On the other hand, later in his life and with a
fading memory, he wrote his Memoirs of the Revolution
without consulting the written documents of the Philippine
revolution and claimed that the "Cry took place at Pugad
Lawin on August 23, 1896.

18. Below is his account on this topic:
The first place of refuge of Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto,
ProcopioBonifacio, Teodoro Plata, Aguedodel Rosario, and myself
was Balintawak, the first five arriving there on August 19 and 1, on
August 20, 1896. The first place where some 500 members of the
Katipunan met on August 22, 1896, was the house and yard of
Apolonio Samson at Kangkong. Aside from the persons mentioned
above, among those who were there were BriccioPantas, Alejandro
Santiago, Ramon Bernardo, Apolonio Samson, and others.

19. Below is his account on this topic:
Here, views were only exchanged, and no resolution was debated or
adopted. It was at Pugad Lawin, in the house, store-house, and yard
of Juan Ramos, son of Melchora Aquino, where over 1,000 members
of the Katipunan met and carried out considerable debate and
discussion on August 23, 1986. The discussion was on whether or
not the revolution against the Spanish government should be
started on August 29, 1986. Only one man protested and fought
against a war, and that was Teodoro Plata [Bonifacio's brother in-
law-Z].

20. Below is his account on this topic:
Besides the persons named above, among those present at
this meeting were Enrique Cipriano, Alfonso Pacheco, Tomas
Remigio, Sinforoso San Pedro, and others. After the
tumultuous meeting, many of those present tore their
cedula certiticates and shouted “Long live the Philippines!
Long live the Philippines”.

21. The “CRY OF BAHAY TORO”
August 24, 1896
This version of the "Cry was written by Santiago Alvarez, a well-
known Katipunero from Cavite and a son of Mariano Alvarez. Santiago
is a relative of Gregoria de Jesus, who happened to be the wife of
Andres Bonifacio. Unlike the author of the first version mentioned
(Valenzuela), Santiago Alvares is not an eyewitness of this event. As a
result, this version of him is not given of equal value as compared with
the other versions for authors of other accounts are actually part of
the historic event.
21

22. Below is his account
SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896
As early as 10 o'clock in the morning, at the barn of Kabesang
Melchora [Melchora Aquino].. at a place called Sampalukan,
barrio of Bahay Toro, Katipuneros met together. About S00 of
these arrived, ready and eager to join the "Supremo” Andres
Bonifacio and his men….
22

23. Below is his account
MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1896
There were about 1,000 Katipuneros. .. The "Supremo" decided
to hold a meeting inside the big barn. Under his leadership, the
meeting began at 10 o’clock in the morning.
It was 12 o’clock noon when the meeting adjourned amidst
loud cries of "Long live the Sons of the Country" (Mabuhay ang
mga anak ng Bayan)!

24. GREGORIA DE JESUS' VERSION OF THE FIRST "CRY"
(August 25, 1896)
This version was written by no other than the "Lakambini of the
Katipunan" and wife of Andres Bonfacio, Gregoria de Jesus. She has
been a participant of this event and became the keeper of the secret
documents of the Katipunan. After the Revolution in August 1896, she
lived with her parents in Caloocan then fled to Manila when she was
told that Spanish authorities wanted to arrest her. Eventually, she
joined her husband in the mountains and shared adversities with him.
In her account, the First "Cry" happened near Caloocan on August 25,
1896.

25. GREGORIA DE JESUS' VERSION OF THE FIRST "CRY"
(August 25, 1896)
"The activities of the Katipunan had reached nearly all corners of the
Philippine Archipelago, so that when its existence was discovered and
some of the members arrested, we immediately returned to
Caloocan. However, as we were closely watched by the agents of the
Spanish authorities, Andres Bonifacio and other Katipuneros left the
town after some days. it was then that the uprising began, with the
first cry for freedom on August 25, 1896. Mean while, l was with my
parents. Through my friends, I learned that Spanish were coming to
arrest me.
