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.
