The controversies and conflicting views between cry of balintawak and cry of pugad-lawin made me realize where the

Himagsikan held. First, I will discuss everything happened in cry of balintawak. Base on the debate, Balintawak is located
in Quezon City and this is where “Sigaw of Himagsikan” held. Why? Because of the geographical location. And also
according to eyewitness account of Guillermo Masangkay , wherein Guillermo Masangkay is the General of Katipunan
and friend of Andres Bonifacio. According to him, on August 26, 1896 there had meeting that held in Balintawak in the
house of Apolonio Samson, the Kapitan of Rebolusyon. As far as his remember, the people who attend in that meeting
are Bonifacio, Jacinto, Pacheco and Carion, they are the leader of the Katipunan. The meeting is all about where the
Himagsakin will happen. Then those Filipino outside the meeting place said to Bonifacio that “Kung hindi pa sisimulan
ang himagsikan ngayon ay kalian? Tuluyan na tayong masasakop ng Espanya kaya’t anong sasabihin nyo?” them all of
them shout “Himagsikan”. Bomifacio said that the sign of being slave in Espanya is Sedula, so that they all slit the Sedula
in one time because this is the sign of Himagsikan. Then after a moment the Filipino shout saying “Mabuhay ang
Pilipinas”. The statement of Masangkay is true because the details of what Andres Bonifacio wear is same as what
Masangkay said. While in the other hand, the cry of Pugad-Lawin. According to them they believe that the unang sigaw
was happened at pugad-lawin. The Pugad-Lawin is located at Barangay Bahay Toro, in the City of Quezon. They said that
unang sigaw of Pugad-Lawin happened on Ausgust 23, 1896 with the leadership of Andres Bonifacio. They all slit the
Sedula and shout “Malaya na tayo sa pagkaalipin”. The event is divided in three part. First is the decision, second is the
slit od Sedula and third is the first fight. Teodora Agoncillo also agreed in this.

And I think, the most reliable evidences presented is cry of balintawak. Because they give a reliable evidences wherein
they can maintain their argument consistently. They also have eyewitness on the events.
