Study Notes

Philippine History - Lesson 9: The First Cry of the Revolution

  • The Philippine Revolution of 1896 began with Filipinos tearing up their cedulas, signifying a movement for independence.
  • This happened after the Katipunan was exposed on August 19, 1896, leading to Spanish crackdown on suspected rebels.
  • Bonifacio, a Katipunan leader, relocated to decide on their next move.
  • The original plan was to launch the revolution in late August, but Bonifacio's movement led them to start immediately, attacking Manila at the end of the month, following the arrest of Katipuneros.

Date and Place of the First Cry

  • In 1911, a monument to the Heroes of 1896 in Balintawak was erected, initially believed to be the site and date of the first cry (August 26, 1908).
  • However, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) in 1963, after research, found the first cry happened on August 23, 1896, at Pugad Lawin, in Quezon City.

Accounts of the First Cry by Various Sources

  • Dr. Pio Valenzuela, a Katipunan official, claimed refuge was at Balintawak on August 19 & 20, 1896. 500 Katipuneros met at Apolonio Samson's house on August 22, 1896. He described the First Cry happening at Juan Ramos's house in Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896.
  • Santiago Alvarez, in the Sampaguita magazine, claimed the First Cry occurred at Bahay Toro on August 24, 1896.
  • Guillermo Masangkay, another Katipunero, claimed the First Cry happened at Balintawak on August 26, 1896. He edited his account in 1957, later acknowledging August 23, 1896, as the more accurate date.

Lesson Summary

  • The First Cry of the Philippine Revolution was a pivotal moment in Filipino history, signalling the start of the fight for independence against Spanish colonisation.
  • Different accounts exist regarding the precise date and location, reflecting the ongoing debate and research around this historical event.
