    LESSON 12

    The Cry of Balintawak/


    Pugadlawin
    Details

    Accounts
    • The “First Cry of Revolution” became the
    movement of the Filipinos to fight back on the
    tyrannical rule of the Spanish regime.
    • It is also called as the “First Cry” or the
    revolution of independence.
    • In this scenario, the Filipinos
    tore their cedulas (tax receipt)
    and proclaimed the start to
    fight for independence (main
    goal).
    ANDRES BONIFACIO
    Andres Bonifacio, the Supreme
    leader of the Katipunan organized a
    meeting outside the city particular in
    Balintawak to talk about their next
    movement for the revolution against
    Spaniards. According to him, the start
    of the revolution will begin at the end
    of month of August.
    1. Account of Dr. Pio Valenzuela
    Dr. Pio Valenzuela has
    been authorized the ‘’Cry of
    Pugad Lawin’’, who
    happened to eyewitness the
    event. He was also an official
    of the Katipunan and a
    friend of Andres Bonifacio.
    1.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.

    2. 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.
    2. Account of Santiago Alvarez

    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 Alvarez 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.
    3. Account of Guillermo Masangkay
    In 1932, Guillermo
    Masangkay, a friend and
    fellow Katipunero of
    Andres Bonifacio,
    recounted his
    experiences as a member
    of the revolutionary
    movement.
    • In an interview with the Sunday Tribune magazine,
    Masangkay said that the First Cry happened in
    Balintawak on August 26, 1896. In the first decade of
    American rule, it was his account that was used by
    the government and civic officials to fix date and
    place of the First Cry which was capped with the
    erection of the ‘’Monument to the Heroes of 1896’’
    in that place.
    • However, in an interview published in the newspaper
    Bagong Buhay on August 26, 1957, Masangkay
    changed his narrative stating that the revolution
    began on August 23, 1896, similar to the assertion of
    Dr. Pio Valenzuela. But Masangkay’s date was later
    changed again when his granddaughter, Soledad
    Buehler- Borromeo, cited sources, including the
    Masangkay papers, that the original date was August
    26.
    4. Account of Gregoria De Jesus

    She was known as


    the “ Lakambini of
    the Katipunan” and
    wife Andres
    Bonifacio.
    • 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 the 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.
