The document discusses two accounts of the Cry of Pugad Lawin, the event signaling the beginning of the Philippine Revolution. It agrees with Santiago Alvarez's account in "Bahay-Cry" over Pio Valenzuela's version, as Alvarez was not directly present unlike Valenzuela, and his book set a good example without breaking rules. While Valenzuela's claims are questioned for not examining documented records of the revolution.

1. Choose two (2) learning resources in 03 Readings: The Katipunan's Cry.
A distinct rendition of Pio Valenzuela's Cry of Pugad Lawin from
the others caused controversy. According to Valenzuela, who claims to have witnessed the incident firsthand, the cry occurred in Balintawak on Wednesday, August 26, 1896. Pio Valenzuela published his Memoirs of the Revolution without examining the documented records of the Philippines Revolution, so I do not agree with his Cry of Pugad Lawin.
2. For every resource, state its viewpoint/argument and explain whether
you agree to it or not. Santiago Alvarez's Bahay-Cry. Toro's Alvarez was not a participant in the historical event, in contrast to the other authors. The key point of view in this is that the Katipunero's who have arrived at the Sampalukan neighborhood of Bahay Toro are enthusiastic and ready to join Andres Bonifacio's Supremo. I concur with Alvarez not only because his name is well-known thanks to his son Mariano Alvarez and other well-known relatives, but also because I believe that his book set a good example for people to follow and did not break any rules.
