 INTRODUCTION
“On August 26th [1896-Z.], a big meeting was held in Balintawak, at the house of Apolonio Samson,
then the cabeza of that barrio of Caloocan. Among those who attended, I remember, were Bonifacio,
Emilio Jacinto, Aguedo del Rosario, Tomas Remigio, Briccio Pantas, Teodoro Plata, Pio Valenzuela,
Enrique Pacheco, and Francisco Carreon. They were all leaders of the Katipunan and composed the

To gain a more comprehensive understanding of this crucial historical moment, it becomes
essential to cross-reference Mangsakay's recollections with other contemporary sources,
if available. By triangulating various perspectives, we can work towards a more nuanced
and accurate portrayal of the events that transpired during the early days of the
Philippine Revolution."
DEFINITION OF CONCEPTS
 “The Cry of Balintawak” occurred on August 24, 1986,
and took place in “bahay toro,” located in Balintawak,
as it was only Santiago Alvarez who stuck with the
date and place and remained consistent with his
claims. We could not take into account Pio
Valenzuela’s version, as Valenzuela concluded that the
“cry” occurred on August 23, 1896, only for him to
change his claims later on. Gregoria de Jesus cannot
be considered a reliable source as she wasn't present
at the time. General Guillermo Masangkay provided
precise details about the event and was an eyewitness;
he couldn't provide the exact date.
