    CRY OF

    PUGADLAWIN
    DATE STARTED: AUGUST 23, 1896
    PLACE/ LOCATION: QUEZON CITY
     (Filipino: Sigaw ng Pugad Lawin) alternately
    and originally referred to as the Cry of
    Balintawak
     (Filipino: Sigaw ng Balíntawak, Spanish: Grito
    de Balíntawak), was the beginning of the 
    Philippine Revolution against the 
    Spanish Empire.
     At the close of August 1896, members of the 
    Katipunan secret society (Katipuneros) led by 
    Andrés Bonifacio rose up in revolt
    somewhere in an area referred to as Caloocan
    , wider than the jurisdiction of present-day 
    Caloocan City which may have overlapped
    into present-day Quezon City.
     Originally the term "cry" referred to the first clash
    between the Katipuneros and the Civil Guards
     (Guardia Civil). The cry could also refer to the
    tearing up of community tax certificates (cédulas
    personales) in defiance of their allegiance to Spain.
    This was literally accompanied by patriotic shouts.
     Because of competing accounts and ambiguity of
    the place where this event took place, the exact
    date and place of the Cry is in contention.[3][4] From
    1908 until 1963, the official stance was that the cry
    occurred on August 26 in Balintawak. In 1963 the
    Philippine government declared a shift to August
    23 in Pugad Lawin, Quezon City.
     The term "Cry" is translated from the
    Spanish el grito de rebelion (cry of
    rebellion) or el grito for short. Thus
    the Grito de Balintawak is comparable
    to Mexico's Grito de Dolores (1810).
    However, el grito de rebelion strictly
    refers to a decision or call to revolt.
    It does not necessarily connote
    shouting, unlike the Filipino sigaw.
     Various accounts give differing dates and places for the Cry. An
    officer of the Spanish guardia civil, Lt. Olegario Diaz, stated that
    the Cry took place in Balintawak on August 25, 1896. Historian
    Teodoro Kalaw in his 1925 book The Filipino Revolution wrote
    that the event took place during the last week of August 1896 at
    Kangkong, Balintawak. Santiago Alvarez, a Katipunero and son
    of Mariano Alvarez, the leader of the Magdiwang faction in 
    Cavite, stated in 1927 that the Cry took place in Bahay Toro,
    now in Quezon City on August 24, 1896. Pío Valenzuela, a close
    associate of Andrés Bonifacio, declared in 1948 that it happened
    in Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896. Historian Gregorio Zaide
    stated in his books in 1954 that the "Cry" happened in
    Balintawak on August 26, 1896. Fellow historian Teodoro
    Agoncillo wrote in 1956 that it took place in Pugad Lawin on
    August 23, 1896, based on Pío Valenzuela's statement. Accounts
    by historians Milagros Guerrero, Emmanuel Encarnacion and
    Ramon Villegas claim the event to have taken place in Tandang
    Sora's barn in Gulod, Barangay Banlat, Quezon City.
     In 1895 Bonifacio, Masangkay, 
    Emilio Jacinto and other
    Katipuneros spent Good Friday in
    the caves of Mt. Pamitinan in
    Montalban (now part of 
    Rizal province). They wrote "long
    live Philippine independence" on the
    cave walls, which some Filipino
    historians consider the "first cry" (el
    primer grito).
