THE CRY OF

PUGADLAWIN
THE CRY OF PUGAD LAWIN
Marked the start of the Philippine revolution in 1896 which eventually led to
independence of the country in 1898
WHAT IS THE ISSUE OF THIS
CRY?
Is it called cry of balintawak or
Cry of pugad lawin?
Why did bonifacio cry?
CRY
Originally the term “cry ” referred to the first clash between the
katipuneros and the civil guard(guardia civil)
The “cry ” could also refer to the tearing up of community tax
certificates (cedulas personales) in defiance of their allegiance to
spain.

The inscription of “viva la independencia filipina” can also be


referred as term for the “cry” literally accompanied by patriotic
shouts
THE “GRITO DE
BALINTAWAK” TRADITION
 It has been widely believed that the first cry took place in balintawak ,
Caloocan.
 Agoncillo gave the exact date for the cry as August 23, 1896 and the exact
place to be not Balintawak but pugadlawin.
 The balintawak continuous to thrive. Nick Jaoquin writes in support of
balintawak, which was more popular than that of the pugadlawin.
WHY BALINTAWAK?
 The cry of rebellion in the Philippines happened in august 1896. There are a lot
controversies puzzling the minds of the readers regarding the real place and the
real date of this event . Some accounts pointing directly to balintawak are
associated with the cry. lt,. Olegario Diaz of the Spanish civil guards wrote in
1896 that event happened in balintawak , corroborates the account of historian
gregorio zaide and theodoro kalaw.
 On the other hand , teodoro agoncillo based his account from the pio
Valenzuela that emphasized Pugad lawin as the place where the”cry”
happened.
SOME REASON WHY PUGAD
LAWIN IS NOT CONSIDERED
AS A PLACE
People of balintawak initiatedthe revolution against Spaniards

 The pugad lawinis only existed in 1935after the rebellion happened in 1896

WHAT CAN WE CONCLUDE
FROM ALL THIS?
 First, the pugad lawin was never the official recognized as a place name on any philppine map
before second world war.
 Second , pugad lawin appeared in historiography only from 1928 or some 32 years after the
events took place
 Third, the revolution was always traditionally held to have occurred in the area of balintawak ,
which was distint from kalookan and diliman
 Therefore, while the toponym pugad lawin is more romantic , it is more accurate to stick to the
original “cry of balintawak’
