    History

    “Cry of Balintawak and Cry of Pugad-Lawin”


    In my opinion, a few journalists consider the primary military engagement with the enemy as the
    defining moment of the Cry. To commemorate this military occasion upon his return from banish
    in Hong Kong, Emilio Aguinaldo commissioned a “Himno de Balintawak” to proclaim
    recharged battling after the failed peace of the agreement of Biyak na Bato. The historian
    Teodoro Agoncillo chose to emphasize Bonifacio’s tearing of the cedula (tax receipt) before a
    crowd of Katipuneros who then broke out in cheers. However, Guardia Civil Manuel Sityar
    never mentioned in his memoirs (1896-1898) the tearing or inspection of the cedula, but did note
    the pacto de sangre (blood pact) mark on every single Filipino he met in August 1896 on his
    reconnaissance missions around Balintawak. The history specialist Teodoro Agoncillo chose
    Bonifacio’s tearing of the cedula (charge receipt) before a crowd of Katipuneros who at that
    point broke out in cheers. In any case, Guardia Civil Manuel Sityar never said in his journals
    (1896-1898) the tearing or inspection of the cedula, but did note the pacto de sangre (blood
    agreement) check on each single Filipino he met in Admirable 1896 on his surveillance missions
    around Balintawak. The news of the revelation of the Katipunan spread all through Manila and
    the rural areas. Bonifacio, informed of the discovery, furtively educating his runners to summon
    all the leaders of the society to a common get together to be held on August 24. They were to
    meet at Balintawak to examine the steps to be taken to meet the crisis. That same night of August
    19, Bonifacio, accompanied by his brother Procopio, Emilio Jacinto, Teodoro Plata, and Aguedo
    del Rosario, slipped through the cordon of Spanish sentries and come to Balintawak at midnight.
    Pio Valenzuela taken after the other day. On the 21st, Bonifacio changed the Katipunan code
    since the Spanish authorities had as of now deciphered it. Within the evening of the same day,
    the rebels, numbering almost 500, cleared out Balintawak for Kangkong, where Apolonio
    Samson, a Katipunero, gave them food and shield. In the evening of Eminent 22, they continued
    to Pugadlawin. The taking after day, within the yard of Juan A. Ramos, the child of Melchora
    Aquino. It was in Pugad Lawin, where they proceeded upon leaving Samson’s place in the
    afternoon of the 22nd, that the more than 1,000 members of the Katipunan met in the yard of
    Juan A. Ramos, son of Melchora Aquino,…in the morning of August 23rd. Considerable
    discussion arose whether the revolt against the Spanish government should be started on the
    29th. Only one man protested… But he was overruled in his stand… Bonifacio then announced
    the decision and shouted: “Brothers, it was agreed to continue with the plan of revolt. My
    brothers, do you swear to repudiate the government that oppresses us?” And the rebels, shouting
    as one man replied: “Yes, sir!” “That being the case,” Bonifacio added, “bring out your cedulas
    and tear them to pieces to symbolize our determination to take arms!” .. . Amidst the ceremony,
    the rebels, tear-stained eyes, shouted: “Long live the Philippines! Long live the Katipunan!
