The Philippine Revolution of 1896 is known as the “First Cry”
The date and place of the “First Cry of Revolution” were still
contradicted by different Katipunan personalities who claimed
to be eyewitnesses
The “ First Cry” happened on August 23,1896 in Pugad Lawin,

now part of Project 8 in Quezon City.
Dr. pio valenzuela’s
Account
The official date and place were largely based on Dr. Valenzuela’s
account also known as “Cry of Pugadlawin”
He said in his first version that the “First Cry” was on
August 26, 1896 in Balintawak but was later revised (1948)
by himself. Based on his Memoirs of the Revolution the
said event happened on August 23, 1896 in Pugad Lawin.
He happened to be an eyewitness on the said event and he

was a close associate of Andres Bonifacio.
santiago alvarez’s
Account
An another acknowledged primary source of the Cry of the
revolution, also known as the “Cry of Bahay Toro”.
General Santiago Alvarez is one of the leaders of the Cavite Revolution.
Alvarez’s notes consists of the personal accounts and stories of events during
the Philippine Revolution starting in March 1896 to late 1897.
in 1927, Sampaguita began publishing the Katipunan Memoirs of Gen. Alvarez.

The series was later published as a book “The Katipunan and the Revolution”
(QC: ADMU, 1992). The story of the first cry is found in chapter 6 of the memoirs.
Sunday, August 23, 1896
As early as 10 o’clock in the morning, at the barn of Kabesang Melchora, at a

place called Sampalukan, barrio of Bahay Toro, Katipuneros met together.
About 500 of these arrived, ready and eager to join the “Supremo” Andres Bonifacio
and his men …
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)!

Account
Guillermo Mangsakay Account also considered as an primary
source and also know for “Cry of Balintawak”
In 1932, Guillermo Masangkay, a friend and fellow Katipunero of Andres
Bonifacio recounted his memories as a revolutionary member in an
interview with the Sunday Tribune magazine.
He said, “The first cry happened in Balintawak on August 26, 1896,” and
his account was used by the first decade of American rule to fix the data and
place of the First Cry, which was capped with the erection of the “Monument
to the Heroes of 1896” in that place.
Guillermo mangsakay
Account
However, after 25 years, on August 26, 1957, in an interview published in the
newspaper by Bagong Buhay, he changed his narrative, stating that the
revolution began on August 23, 1896, similar to the assertion of Dr. Pio
Valenzuela. But later on, the date was again changed by his granddaughter's
name, soledad Buehler Borromeo, according to cited sources, including the
Masangkay account, that the original date was August 26, 1896.
August 26, 1896
A big meeting was held in Balintawak at the house of Apolonio Samson, the
cabeza or head of the barrio of Caloocan. Among those he remembers were
Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, Aguedo del Rosario, Tomas Remigio, Briccio Pantas,
Teodoro Plata, Pio Valenzuela, Enrique Pachero, and Francisco Carreon. They are
all leaders of the Katipunan and compose the board of directors of the
organization.
At about nine o’clock In the morning, the meeting was opened with Andres
Bonifacio presiding and acting as secretary. The purpose was to discuss where the
uprising was to take place. Teodoro Plata, Briccio Pantas, and Pio Valenzuela were
all opposed to staring a revolution to early cause people would be distress if the
revolution started without adequate preparation.
Andres Bonifacio, sensing that he would lose the discussion, departed the session
hall and spoke to those waiting outside for the outcome of the leaders' meeting.
He told the people that the leader was arguing against starting the revolution early,
and appealed to them in a fiery speech in which he said: “You remember the fate of
our countrymen who were shot in Bagumbayan. Should we return now to the
towns, the Spaniards will only shoot us. Our organization has been discovered
and we are all marked men. If we don't start the uprising, the Spaniards will get
us anyway. What then, do you say?"
"Revolt," the people shouted as one.
Bonifacio then asked the people to give a pledge that they were to revolt. He told
them that the sign of slavery of the Filipinos were (sic) the cedula tax charged each
citizen. "If it is true that you are ready to revolt," Bonifacio said, "I want to see
you destroyed your cedulas. It will be the sign that all of us have declared our
severance from the Spaniards."
With tears in their eyes, the people, as one man, pulled out their cedulas and tore
them to pieces. It was the beginning of the formal declaration of the separation
from Spanish rule....
There was no alternative. The board of directors, in spite of the protests of Plata,
Pantas, and Valenzuela, voted for the revolution. And when this was decided, the
people outside shouted, "Long Live the Philippine Republic."
Discussion Time!!!
