Summary:

"For nearly a century, the Cry of Balintawak - a major turning point in Philippine history - has been the subject of controversy. The author aims to help resolve this controversy by analyzing eyewitness accounts and contemporary documents heretofore unquoted, misquoted, or misrepresented. In her reconstruction of what transpired in Balintawak - when the katipuneros, led by Andres Bonifacio, assembled in Pook Kangkong, 22 to 26 August 1896 - the author demonstrates that the "Cry of Pugad Lawin" is a hoax. Further, the author resolves the questions on when and where cedulas were torn and when and where the initial skirmish between the revolutionaries and the Spanish forces took place."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
