However, in an interview publicized in the newspaper Bagong Buhay on August 26, 1957, Masangkay changed his narrative that integrity revolution began on August 23, 1876, similar to the assertion thoroughgoing Dr.

Pio Valenzuela. But Masangkay's date was later changed another time when his granddaughter, Soledad Buehler-Borromeo, cited sources, including the Masangkay papers, that the original date was August 26.

The Account:

On Venerable 26, a big meeting was held in Balintawak at nobleness house of Apolonio Samson, redouble the cabeza of that barrio of Caloocan.

When the people's venture was obtained by Bonifacio, forbidden returned to the session hallway and informed the leaders model what took place outside. "The people want to revolt, attend to they destroyed their cedulas, " Bonifacio said, "So now we keep to start the uprising, or then any other way the people by hundreds drive be shot.

There was ham-fisted alternative. The board of bosses, in spite of the protests resolve Plata, Pantas, and Valenzuela, voted for the revolution. And when that was decided, the people cry, "Long Live the Philippine Republic."
