The Cry of The Rebellion

The Philippine Revolution began in August 1896 when the Spanish authorities discovered the secret anti-colonial organization called the Katipunan, led by Andres Bonifacio. Bonifacio called a general meeting where the Katipunan gathered and he asked his men if they were willing to fight the Spanish, to which they all agreed except one. Bonifacio then asked them to tear up their identity documents as a sign of defiance, which they did while shouting "Long live the Philippines," marking the beginning of the revolution.

The Cry of the Rebellion

History of the Philippine Revolution


The Philippine Revolution began in August 1896, when the
Spanish authorities discovered the Katipunan, an anti-colonial
secret organization. The Katipunan, led by Andrés Bonifacio, was
a liberationist movement whose goal was independence from
the 350 years of colonial control from Spain through armed
revolt.

The Cry of Pugad Lawin (Filipino: Sigaw ng Pugad


Lawin), alternately and originally referred to as the
Cry of Balintawak (Filipino: Sigaw ng Balíntawak,
Spanish: Grito de Balíntawak), was the beginning of
the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Empire.
Rigorous analysis of eyewitness and contemporary
sources. Concludes that the “Cry of Pugad Lawin”is an
invented story, then reconstructs the events in
Balintawak when Andres Bonifacio’s Katipuneros
assembled in Pook Kangkong from 22 to 26 August 1896.
Resolves the questions of where and when cedulas were
torn, and when and where the initial engagement
between the Katipuneros and the Spanish troops took
place.
The Cry of the Rebellion
• News about the discovery of the Katipunan spread to Manila and
nearby suburbs, and Andres Bonifacio immediately called for a
general meeting. Various wings of the Katipunan gathered at the
house of Juan Ramos in Pugadlawin on August 23, 1896. Ramos was
the son of Melchora Aquino, also known as “Tandang Sora” and was
later acknowledged as the Mother of the Katipunan."
•
Bonifacio asked his men whether they were willing to fight to the
bitter end. Everyone shouted their approval, except for Teodoro
Plata, who though that it was too soon for a revolution. Heartened
by his men’s response, Bonifacio then asked them to tear their
cedulas (residence certificates) to pieces, as a sign of
their defiance and determination to rise against the Spaniards. The
men immediately tore up their cedulas, shouting, Mabuhay ang
Pilipinas (long live the Philippines) -known as the Cry of Pugadlawin.
