- Title - Pugadlawin Monument
|
| General Note |
- General note - This monument in Balintawak marks the center of the beginning of the Philippine Revolution which eventually brought to an end Filipino vassalage to the Spanish crown. Based upon an equilateral triangular pedestal each side of which is about 16 meters long, the distance from the ground to the top of the figure is about 8 meters. The monument is now at the University of the Philippine campus. The monument commemorates the Cry of Pugadlawin. Two days after the Katipunan was betrayed by Teodoro Patino, Bonifacio and around 500 of his men left Balintawak in August 21 for Kangkong, a neighboring place where the Katipunero, Apolonio Samson, provided them with food and lodging for the night. The following day they left the Pugadlawin, Caloocan. In the morning of August 23 more than 1,000 Katipuneros met in the yard of Juan Ramos (son of Melchora Aquino) in Pugadlawin, and here the cry of revolt was raised, together with the tearing up of residence certificates.
