El primer grito de la rebelión

Semana Revista ilustrada Hispano-Filipina was an illustrated magazine published weekly in Manila by the Spaniard Manuel Lopez Florez. Semana was created in 1948 and lasted until 1955. It was backed by Tabacalera and Cervecería San Miguel, and had important Spanish-speaking Filipino intellectuals as collaborators, such as Jesús Balmouri, Claro M. Recto, or Manuel Bernabé. As a response to Elpidio Quirino’s initiative of turning the Cry of Balintawak a national holiday in 1950,  Francisco C. Palisoc wrote an article where he commemorated the event as the starting point of the independence and attacked the Filipinos who, having more prestige and power and so the potential to give the insurrection an overwhelming and decisive force, didn't trust the insurrection and avoided their responsibility and the risk of an armed fight. Palisoc criticized the repression by the Spanish government, which only stirred a public opinion that already supported the insurrection, and praised Bonifacio as the only one who believed that the hour of independence was near, guiding the Filipinos to the promised land of independence when neither Rizal nor Mabini though the Filipinos were ready.
