1896
Andrés Bonifacio
(November 30, 1863 – May 10, 1897) • Filipino revolutionary leader and the
president of the Tagalog Republic.
• Often called "The Father of
the Philippine Revolution".
• He is considered a de facto national
hero of the Philippines.
• He was one of the founders and
later Supremo (Supreme Leader) of
the Kataas-taasan,
Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng
mga Anak ng Bayan or more
commonly known as "Katipunan“
• Katipunan- a movement which sought
the independence of
the Philippines from Spanish colonial
rule and started the Philippine
Revolution
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.
 Bonifacio asked his men whether they were willing to
fight to the bitter end. Everyone shouted their approval,
except for Teodoro Plata, who thought 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.
 The Cry of Pugad Lawin (Tagalog: (Unang) Sigaw sa Pugad
Lawin), also referred to as the Cry of Balintawak (Tagalog:
(Unang) Sigaw sa Balintawak), was a historical eventduring the
struggle for Philippine Independence.
 On August 23, 1896,Andrés Bonifacio and his comrades from
the Katipunan society tore their cédulas in the hills of
Balintawak. This event is regarded as the starting signal of the
Philippine Revolution.
Controversy

 Differing accounts by participants and historians have served to


confuse the reader regarding the factual date and place of the
event. An officer of the Spanish guardia civil, Lt. Olegario Diaz,
stated that the "Cry" took place in Balintawak on August 25,
1896.
 Pio Valenzuela, a close associate of Andrés Bonifacio declared
in 1948 that it happened in Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896.
Controversy

 Santiago Alvarez, the son of Mariano Alvarez, the leader of the


Magdiwang faction in Cavite, stated in 1927 that the "Cry" took
place in Bahay Toro, now in Quezon City on August 24, 1896.
 Guillermo Masangkay a friend and fellow Katepunero of
Andress Bonifacio said the the First Cry happened in
Balintawak on August 26, 1896. This was the traditional
recognization.
Controversy

 Gregorio Zaide stated in his books in 1954 that the"Cry"


happened in Balintawak on August 26, 1896.
 Fellow historian Teodoro Agoncillo reported in 1956 that it
took place in Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896, echoing Pio
Valenzuela's statement.
 Accounts by Milagros Guerrero, Emmanuel Encarnacion and
Ramon Villegas claim the event to have taken place in Tandang
Sora's barn in Gulod, Barangay Banlat, Quezon City.
• Teodoro Kalaw in his 1925 book The Filipino Revolution, wrote
that the event took place during the last week of August 1896
at Kangkong, Balintawak.

commemorative plaque marking the location of the “CRY” in
Pugad Lawin Quezon City. The plaque bears the date August
23, 1896
