Guillermo Tolentino is a renowned Filipino sculptor, not a literary figure. He is best known for his sculptures such as the Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan City and the Oblation at the University of the Philippines. His influence lies in his ability to capture the Filipino spirit and history through his art, rather than through literature.
The best-known masterpiece of Guillermo Tolentino that features Andres Bonifacio at the center, surrounded by revolutionaries calling to arms, is the sculpture titled "The Cry of Balintawak" (also known as "The Cry of Pugad Lawin"). Created in 1930, this iconic work captures the spirit of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule, symbolizing the call for independence and the bravery of the revolutionaries. Tolentino's dynamic composition and attention to detail highlight the fervor and determination of the Filipino people during that pivotal moment in history.
