August 23, 1896 and decided to launch the revolution against the Spanish government in
the Philippines. They affirmed their decision by tearing their cedulas, symbols of the

The video displays countless examples of the commencement of the revolt against Spain,
which has recently been recognized as "The Cry of Pugad Lawin"; it also depicts the

1896." The statue was unveiled in Balintawak, the largest and best-known barrios in the
general area where the Katipuneros had been, in September 1911, in front of
