At Kangkong, Balintawak, during the final week of August 1896.

According to Santiago Alvarez,


the son of Mariano Alvarez, the head of the Magdiwang faction in Cavite, The Cry took place on
August 24, 1896, at Bahay Toro, now Quezon City. Because of contradicting stories and the
ambiguity of the scene, the exact date and location of the Cry remain in question. The official
opinion was that the cry occurred on August 26 at Balintawak from 1908 to 1963. There is no
proof that the revolution occurred elsewhere but in Balintawak. Proofs that are incorrect in any
way are worthless. 

      A historian named Teodoro Agoncillo sought to emphasize the cedula's ripping in front of a
large crowd of Katipuneros, who subsequently erupted in jubilation. Members of the Katipunan
Secret Company, led by Andrés Bonifacio, rose up in a rebellion in August 1896 in a location
named the Caloocan that was larger than the jurisdiction of modern-day Caloocan itself.
However, Guardia Civil Manuel Sityar noted the blood stain on every single Filipino during his
reconnaissance missions around Balintawak in August 1896. He did not, however, mention the
tearing and inspection of the cedula in his 1896–1898 memoirs. 

      General Guillermo Masangkay of Katipunan is the publisher of this edition. He was


Bonifacio's childhood friend and was present at the momentous occasion. He claimed that on
August 26, 1896, in Balintawak, the first demonstration of the Philippine Revolution took place.
As a result, the founding fathers of the United States government had already decided on the
presented time and place. The biography of General Guillermo Masangkay is shown here. It is
incorrect to refer to the revolution as "The Cry of Pugad Lawin'' because the Balintawak people
were the ones who first fought the Spaniards. Pugad Lawin didn't exist until 1935, following the
1896 uprising. Last but not least, the phrase "Pugad Lawin'' solely refers to the hawk's nest
perched atop the largest tree in the garden of Tandang Sora in Banlat, Gulod, Kaloocan, which
is believed to have been one of the places the revolutionary group led by Andres Bonifacio used
to hide. Last but not least, the term "Pugad Lawin'' only refers to the hawk's nest placed atop the
tallest tree in the garden of Tandang Sora in Banlat, Gulod, Kaloocan, which is thought to have
been one of the hiding spots used by the revolutionary group under the leadership of Andres
Bonifacio.
