1. Why do you think Dr. Pio Valenzuela changed mind as to the place where the “First Cry” happened?
- Due to his advanced age, Dr. Pio Valenzuela relocated the location of the "First Cry." This could have tainted his memory as a result of what he said about the time of the incident. 2. Whose account do you believe is more credible? Why?
- I believe Don Vicente Samson's Cry of Balintawak (August 26, 1896) is more reliable because he provides the most detailed and organized account of the event and is also one of the eyewitnesses. Additionally, he stated that he was unable to forget the date of the "Balintawak Cry." 3. Whose account do you least rely on? Why?
- I have the utmost faith in Santiago Alvarez's account due to the fact that it has been misreported, with numerous details omitted. Additionally, certain details, such as the tearing of cedulas, were omitted, and he was not present during the historic event.
- Who were the Katipunan officers, in Gen. Masangkay’s account, opposing Bonifacio of starting a revolution? Cite the reason of each why they opposed.
- Teodoro Plata, Briccio Pantas, and Pio Valenzuela were opposed to the revolution's inception, believing it was premature. They argued that rebellions carried out without proper planning would result in citizen distress. Plata was vehemently opposed to the act, claiming that the rebellion would fail to succeed without guns and food for the troops. Meanwhile, Valenzuela cited Rizal's point about the rich not siding with the Katipunan organization. 5. What does the tearing of cedula mean in the “Cry of Pugadlawin?”
- It said that people wanted to overthrow Spain's government. The solidarity of Filipinos ready to fight for the country's independence has been visible. It is the most well-known and symbolic act in our beloved Mother Land's liberation.
