    The document discusses the ongoing controversy around the details of the Cry of Pugad Lawin, the event widely considered to have launched the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. There are differing accounts of the location, date, and specifics that have come from revolutionaries in the years after 1896. To this day, historians disagree on an agreed-upon narrative, with some even questioning if the cry took place at all or is a fabrication. Most accounts locate it near Balintawak on August 23rd, 1896, but primary sources give details that contradict in places. The exact location of "Pugad Lawin" also remains ambiguous based on available information.

    Pio Valenzuela Guillermo Masangkay

     first statement mentions a "Katipunan  two possible dates of the cry, August 24
    meeting" happening between August 23 and 26.
    and 25 at Balintawak.  Julio Nakpil's mention of a primer
     second statement, made some 15 years grito (first cry) in 1925, seems to forward
    later, mentions the cry to happen at the a new possibility:
    house of Apolonio Samson in Kangkong,  there might have been two Cries of Pugad
    south of Balintawak, on August 23. Lawin. Another veteran, Santiago
     third statement, made another six years Alvarez, mentioned in his memoirs a cry
    later, tells of the cry occurring at the at Bahay Toro, a place between Pasong
    house of Melchora Aquino (also known as Tamo and Kangkong, on August 24.
    Tandang Sora) at Pacpac-Lawin (Pugad  they seem to support Masangkay's claim
    Lawin) near Pasong Tamo, also on of a cry on August 24 and 26. (Nakpil and
    August 23. Pugad Lawin is further north of Alvarez)
    Balintawak.  Also, this also throws "Pugad Lawin" into
     fourth statement, made before doubt, since neither Masangkay nor
    Masangkay and other surviving Francisco Carreon (Macario Sakay's right
    Katipunan members recalled the event, hand man) remembers Pugad Lawin, but
    tells a meeting at Kangkong on August seems to recall Bahay Toro.
    22, but the cry occurred at the house of
    Juan Ramos (Melchora Aquino's son) at
    Pugad Lawin near Bahay Toro the day
    after, which is August 23.
     cry occurred at the placed called "Pugad
    Lawin", not in Balintawak.

    Information:

     However, to this day, controversy and confusion has haunted the Cry of Pugad Lawin.
    There is even the notion that it did not happen at all! Is it possible that Filipinos have been
    remembering an event coming from the figment of imagination? This view has been
    forwarded as early as 1970 by historian Pedro Gagelonia.
     Since 1963, when President Diosdado Macapagal issued Proclamation Number 149, it
    has been widely accepted that August 23, 1896 is the date when the "Cry of Pugad Lawin"
    took place, a momentous event in Filipino history which is known for being the launching
    point of the Philippine Revolution.
     In 1933 and 1935, Valenzuela was supported by fellow revolutionaries Cipriano Pacheco
    and Briccio Pantas in declaring that the cry occurred at the placed called "Pugad Lawin",
    not in Balintawak. They also confirm Valenzuela's statement that there was a meeting
    before the cry at Kangkong.
     Meanwhile, in 1940, the site of "Pugad Lawin" was identified as Sitio Gulod in Barrio
    Banlat, which is also believed to be the site of Melchora Aquino's house. Did Valenzuela
    believe that Juan Ramos and Melchora Aquino live in the same home? In 1964, the so-
    called "Minutes of the Katipunan" as released by the National Historical Institute (NHI) also
    refers to the cry happening on August 23. However, later research observes that the
    Minutes are "fake."
