La manifestación popular del 3 de septiembre

Renacimiento Filipino was a nationalistic weekly magazine in Spanish and Tagalog, created in 1901. Since 1903, it was directed by Fernando María Guerrero, with Rafael Calma as its editor. Around 1908, it was the most extended publication in the archipelago. However, it was forced to close in January 1911 due to its constant legal conflicts with the US colonial administration. One of its last numbers, on September 14, 1911, was devoted to the inauguration of a monument in Balintawak to the heroes of the 1896 revolution. Before the event, a massive procession took place. El Renacimiento did not only report on the events but also documented them with pictures, many of which were included in other articles of the same number. The procession was huge: 20 music bands, 4,000 vehicles, 300 associations, several schools, and most of the cultural elites participated, orchestrated by Guerrero himself. It was a clear statement of Filipino independentism and of the desire to get back “the totality of that precious treasure that was left to us by the paladins and martyrs of our Cause” of course “within peace and order, [but] without giving up anything.”
