    What is the significance of tearing of


    the cedulas? What did the cedulas
    signify?

    The CEDULA during the Spanish colonial period, was an


    identification card and residence tax certificate that had to be carried at
    all times. A person who could not present his or her cedula could be
    arrested and imprisoned by the Guardia Civil. It’s a piece of paper that
    symbolizes the Spaniards’ oppression and tearing the same means the
    start of our fight for freedom and independence.
    It was August 23, 1896, when a crowd of katipuneros was gathered
    around their Supremo, Andres Bonifacio, in Kangkong, Balintawak and there

    they had

    carried out considerable debate and discussion whether or not the revolution
    against the Spanish government should be started on the 29th. Bonifacio
    spoke of how the secret organization had been betrayed to the Spanish
    authorities and warned of the dangers they all now faced. Armed revolution
    against the Spanish colonizers was the answer, someone suggested, and the
    Katipunan should start it. A few members disagreed but were outvoted by the
    rest.
    The crowd shouted their approval. Here, after the tumultous meeting of
    those present, tore their cedulas  and declared themselves free from
    Spain. Moreover, cedula is a sign of their defiance and determination to
    rise against the Spaniards. The cedula had until then been the people's
    only passport to freedom in their own country.

    The air rang with the people's jubilant cries: "We are free from slavery!"
    "Long live the Philippines!"
