Why Balintawak ? There are lot of controversies puzzling the minds of the readers regarding the real place and date of this event. Some accounts pointing directly to Balintawak are associated with 'The Cry’ Allegedly these are reasons why Pugad Lawin is not considered as the place of the ‘cry’. People of Balintawak initiated the revolution against the Spaniards that is why it is not appropriate to call it ‘Cry of Pugad Lawin ’. The place Pugad Lawin only existed in 1935 after the rebellion happened in 1896. Lastly, The term ‘ Pugad Lawin ’ was only made up because of the hawk’s nest at the top of a tall tree at the backyard of Tandang Sora in Banlat , Gulod , Kaloocan where it is said to be one of the hiding places of the revolutionary group led by Andres Bonifacio..

The Cry is later commemorated as National Heroes' Day , a public holiday in the Philippines. The first annual commemoration of the Cry occurred in Balintawak in 1908 after the American colonial government repealed the Sedition Law In 1911 a monument to the Cry (a lone Katipunero popularly identified with Bonifacio) was erected at Balintawak it was later transferred to Vinzons Hall in the University of the Philippines-Diliman , Quezon City. In 1984, the National Historical Institute of the Philippines installed a commemorative plaque in Pugad Lawin ..

We like to think it gave a freedom of speech, where a large group of people came together in unity to battle over topics they found too restrictive, too beneath them, and couldn't hold it any longer, so they, along with the others, tore their 'cedula'..
