The first place of refuge of Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, Procopio


Bonifacio, Teodoro Plata, Aguedo Del Rosario, and myself was Balintawak,
the first five arriving there on August 19, and I, on August 20, 1896. The first
place where some 500 members of the Katipunan met on August 22, 1896,
was the house and yard of Apolonio Samson at kakong. Aside from the
persons mentioned above. Among those who were there were Briccio Pantas,
Alejandro Santiago, Roman Bernardo,
Apolonio Samson, and Others. Here, views were only exchanged, and no
resolution was debated or adopted. It was at Pugad Lawin, the house, Store-
house, and yard on 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.
 According to Guerrero, Encarnacion, and Villegas,
all these places are in Balintawak, then part of
Caloocan, now, in Quezon City. As for the dates,
Bonifacio and his troops may have been moving from
one place to another to avoid being located by the
Spanish Government, which could explain why there
are several accounts of the Cry.
