If there was I wouldn't be going crazy asking people what I should wear because I'm representing balintawak

The term "Cry of Balintawak" refers to the initial act of defiance against Spanish colonial rule that took place in Balintawak, while the "Cry of Pugad Lawin" was a separate event where the Philippine Revolution was formally declared. The Cry of Balintawak is more commonly associated with the beginning of the revolution, hence the naming convention.

In Balintawak, the cry serves as a tool to generate power and intent in strikes, as well as to intimidate and disrupt an opponent's focus. It also helps to synchronize breathing with striking movements, enhancing overall performance and effectiveness in combat situations. The cry in Balintawak is an essential element that helps practitioners harness their energy and channel it into their techniques.

The Cry of Balintawak was when Bonafacio and the Katipunan tore their residence cards, or I.D. cards. This was significant because these cards were issued by Spain, and the Katipunan were fighting for independence from Spain.

Therefore by ripping their I.D. cards and crying "Long Live Philippine independence", they begun the nation-wide revolt against Spain.

The ceremony or ritual was done at hills of Balintawak, north of Manila.

The Cry of Balintawak refers to an event during the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule on August 26, 1896. It was a signal for the start of the revolution, symbolizing the Filipinos' call for unity and resistance against oppression. The cry inspired the Katipunan to fight for independence and played a significant role in the country's history.
