Katipunan

Outcome

Start of the Philippine Revolution

Formation of an insurgent government

At the close of August 1896, members of the Katipunan secret society (Katipuneros) led by Andrés Bonifacio rose up in revolt somewhere in an area referred to as Caloocan,[2] wider than the jurisdiction of present-day Caloocan City which may have overlapped into present-day Quezon City.[3]

Originally the term cry referred to the first clash between the Katipuneros and the Civil Guards (Guardia Civil). The cry could also refer to the tearing up of community tax certificates (cédulas personales) in defiance of their allegiance to Spain. The inscriptions of "Viva la Independencia Filipina" can also be referred as term for the cry. This was literally accompanied by patriotic shouts.[4

Answer 2

Answer:

There is inconsistency in Pío Valenzuela's work.

He had given two different statements regarding the Cry of Pugad Lawin, which makes it controversial.

Explanation:

• The “Cry of Pugad Lawin” was an event that officially pushed the cart of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish Empire.
• Pío Valenzuela Alejandrino (July 11, 1869 – April 6, 1956) was a Filipino physician and revolutionary leader who joined Katipunan at the age of 23.
• Pío Valenzuela was the eyewitness of the event.
• In his first version, he stated that the beginning point of the Cry was in Balintawak on Wednesday of August 26, 1896.
• Whereas, later in his life he wrote another narrative of that event claiming that the “Cry” took place at Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896.

Hence, the Pio Valenzuela’s Cry of Pugad Lawin is a controversy and must be read with caution.
