 Cry of Pugad Lawin:
Controversy
The “Cry of Pugad Lawin” held on (August
23,1896) cannot be accepted as historically
accurate:
• It lacks positive documentation and supporting
evidence from the witness.
• The testimony of only one eyewitness (Dr. Pio
Valenzuela ) is not enough to authenticate and
verify a controversial issue in history.
• Conflicting dates and places of the Cry of Pugad
Lawin.

Juan Ramos, son of Melchora Aquino, where over 1,000 members of the
Katipunan met and carried out considerable debate and discussion on
August 23, 1986.
“Cry of Pugad Lawin”

❏ The discussion was on whether or not the revolution against

the Spanish government should be started on August 29, 1986.
Only one man protested and fought against a war, and
that was Teodora Plata [Bonifacio’s brother-in-law-Z]. Besides
the persons named above, among those present at this
meeting were Enrique Cipriano, Alfonso Pacheco, Tomas
Remigio, Sinforoso San Pedro, and others. After the
tumultuous meeting, many of those present tore their
cedula certificates and shouted “Long live the Philippines! Long
live the Philippines!”

 SECONDARY SOURCE:
Balintawak: Cry For a Nationwide Revolution

This controversial issue continues to hound scholar by

Milagros C. Guerrero, Emmanuel N. Encarnacion, and Ramon
N. Villegas.
During the revolution the cedula held by the Filipinos
symbolizes their enslavement in the hands of the Spaniards.
Tearing this sign of slavery paved the way to start the revolt.
According to the eyewitness of this historic event and the
one who wrote this version of cry, Katipunan General Guillermo
Masangkay, the first rally of the Philippine Revolution
happened at the house of Apolonio Samsom, the cabeza of
Barrio Balintawak in Caloocan, at past nine o’clock in the
morning of August 26, 1896.
