PUGAD LAWIN
CRY of REBELLION
Originally the term “Cry” referred to the first clash between the
Katipuneros and Civil Guards (Guardia Cvil).
Teodoro Agoncillo – fellow historian, wrote in 1956 that it took place in Pugad
Lawin on August 23, 1896 based on Pio Valenzuela’s statement.
The NHI(National Historical Institute) files on the committee’s findings show the
following:
1. In August 1983, Pugad Lawin in barangay Bahay Toro was inhabited by squatter
colonies. The NHI believed that it was correct in looking for the house of Juan
Ramos and not of Tandang Sora. However, the former residence of Juan Ramos
was clearly defined.
2. There was an old dap-dap tree at the site when the NHI conducted its survey I
1983. Tedoro Agoncillo, Gregorio Zaide and Pio Valenzuela do not mention a dap-
dap tree in their books.
