1. Who are the (3) primary sources of the story?

 Dr. Pio Valenzuela, an official of the Katipunan and a friend of Andres Bonifacio, who was
personally present in the event. His account is where majority of the official date and place of
the First Cry was based.
 General Santiago Alvarez, who was one of the leaders of the Cavite revolution and he also
presented a narration of the events which took place in Bahay Toro in the story of the First Cry.
 Guillermo Masangkay, like Dr. Valenzuela, is also a friend and fellow Katipunero of the
Katipunan Supremo, Andres Bonifacio.

2. According to the accounts, where and when did the first cry of revolution happen?

Dr. Pio Valenzuela  Where: Pugad Lawin, in the house, storehouse, and yard
of the son of Tandang Sora (Melchora Aquino), Juan
Ramos.
 When: August 23, 1896

 When: August 26, 1896

3. What are the similarities and differences among the (3) accounts?

Differences:

Although it was not specified in Gen, Alvarez’s account, the name/s of those who opposed the
start of the revolution was specified in others. In Dr. Valenzuela’s account, it was stated the only
Teodora Plata protested in opposition to the said war. Meanwhile, in Masangkay’s account, three
people had opposed the early start of the revolution, namely, Teodoro Plata, Briccio Pantas, and Pio
Valenzuela. Moreover, the dates of the First Cry were also different among the three primary sources. In
Dr. Valenzuela, Gen. Alvarez, and Masangkay’s accounts about the First Cry, the date it took place were
different, on August 23, August 24, and August 26 of 1896, respectively. Lastly, the locations and routes
of their voyage were also not consistent in the three accounts. In Dr. Valenzuela and General Alvarez’s
accounts, their route included both from Apolonio Samson at Barrio Kangkong, Balintawak then
proceeding to move towards Pugad Lawin or in Bahay Toro, respectively. In Pugad Lawin and in Bahay
Toro, which is located at a similar area, is where the First Cry occurred according to Dr. Valenzuela and
Gen. Alvarez’s accounts. However, in Masangkay’s account, no location about Tandang Sora’s and her
son’s house in Bahay Toro/Pugad Lawin was mentioned. Instead, the meeting and the First Cry occurred
in the house of Apolonio Samson solely.

Similarities:

The first similarity among the accounts I had encountered was the tearing apart of the
cedula as symbolism of separation of the Filipinos from the dominance of the Spanish ruling which
happened during the meeting organized by Bonifacio, although this was not specified in Gen.
Alvarez’s account. Second, in all accounts, the purpose of the meeting headed by Bonifacio were
similar in purpose—to plan the date of the revolution against the Spanish government. In addition
to this, Gen. Alvarez’s account had a more detailed matters for the meeting, which also included the
immediate objective of the attack that is to capture Manila. Third, the participants of the said
meeting included the names of Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, Teodoro Plata, Briccio Pantas,
Enrique Pacheco and his sons Cipriano and Alfonso in all the accounts. Although many other people
were included in the same meeting, their names were not specified in all the accounts from Dr.
Valenzuela, Gen. Alvarez, and Masangkay. Fourth, the date of the planned revolution was August 29,
1896, in both Dr. Valenzuela and Gen. Alvarez’s account, although this date was not specified in
Masangkay’s account. The last similarity I observed among the accounts was that the adjournment
of their meeting during the First Cry all ended with the shouts of “Long Live the Philippine
Republic/Sons of the People”.
