In the fight for Philippine independence, an incident galvanized the Filipino people to rise up against foreign invaders'
tyranny. The historical First Cry of the Philippine Revolution is sparked by a desire for independence. It was known to
happen in Balintawak, but conflicting reports of the event have sparked debate.
This analysis will include the three different accounts of three people: Dr. Pio Valenzuela, Santiago Alvarez, and
Guillermo Masangkay, all of whom had experience and contributed to "The First Cry of Revolution" and released
accounts or details about the Philippine Revolution of 1896. The Philippines revolution of 1896 occurred during the
Spanish colonization of the Philippines. Although this revolution demonstrates the Filipino people's sacrifices and how
they struggle for their country's independence. It's a little perplexing because there are some discrepancies or
differences in the narratives in some specifics, particularly the dates of various events that occurred during and before
the first cry of revolution, or the 1896 Philippine revolution.
Despite the uncertainty and ambiguous specifics concerning its exact place and timing, the Philippine Revolution of
1896 is tremendously important to us Filipinos. Despite the fact that we do not know what is really behind the word
"Cry," whether it is the decision of the Katipuneros to revolt, the first tearing of cedulas, or the first encounter/fight with
Spanish soldiers, the first cry of revolution had a significant impact on the historical context of the Philippines.
Dr. Pio Valenzuela, an official member of the katipunan and a friend of Andres Bonifacio, provides the first narrative. His
accounts contain dates, localities, and some events that are recognized and referenced in textbooks. Valenzuela is also
the one who discusses the uprising revolution with Jose Rizal. In his story, Valenzuela claims that the decision to revolt
was made in Kangkong on August 23 at Melchora Aquino's house on Daan-malalim in Pasong Tamo, but he also
claims that on the same day, a decision was made in Juan Ramos' house in Pugad Lawin. Guillermo Masangkay
responds to this by stating that the decision was made at Kangkong, but on August 26. While this assertion may be
genuine because Juan Ramos is Melchora Aquino's son, and several historians who publish articles also claim that it
happened on August 24-27, the public may be confused by the facts regarding the date and location.
The second story is that of Santiago Alvarez, who was a key figure in the Cavite Revolution. They arrived in the Bahay
Toro on August 23, 1896, with a crew of over 500 men, according to his account. He also mentions that the Supremo
Andres Bonifacio summoned a meeting on August 24, 1896, and that the revolution for the people's independence will
begin on August 29, 1896. After the meeting was adjourned, Alvarez claims that there were loud and emotional
screams of "Long live the Sons of the People," which contradicts the dates and locations given by Valenzuela and
Guillermo.
Guillermo Masangkay, a friend of Andres Bonifacio and a member of the Katipunan, gives the third and final version of
the First Cry of Revolution. According to his narrative, the first cry occurred on August 26, 1896 in Balintawak. And that
a meeting presided over by Andres Bonifacio was held to determine when the rebellion would begin. Andres Bonfacio
called a meeting, according to Alvarez and Valenzuela, however there is some confusion over the date and location, as
noted above. The tearing of cedulas as a proclamation of revolt and to end Spanish control in the country was cited as
the balintawak cry. People yelling "Long live the Philippine Republic" while tearing their cedulas may be heard 1 / 2 of
the time.
Three separate accounts of those who respected and may have experienced the First Cry of Revolution, or the
Philippine Revolution of 1896, before, during, and after it. The event's details are unclear and have sparked debate in
the Philippines' historical context, but the event itself, as indicated above, had a significant impact on the Philippines'

historical context. Despite all of the confused dates and locations, let us remember that we once fought for our freedom,
and our forefathers contributed to what we now have.
