Ramon Martinez y Lazaro

● It is a polychromed statue of a revolutionary Katipunero often attributed to the supremo Andres Bonifacio.
CRY OF BALINTAWAK● It was originally located in Balintawak
Cloverleaf.
● Its relocation in the University of the Philippines - Diliman Campus was forced by the construction of the North Luzon Expressway.
CRY OF BALINTAWAK
● It was donated by the Bureau of Public Works to the University on November 29, 1968.

CRY OF BALINTAWAK : SYMBOLISM
The statue of the Cry of Balintawak is a suitable counterpoint to the modern austerity
of the Vinzons Hall, for it symbolizes the FIGURATIVE DEFIANCE and NATIONALISM of the Katipunan revolution in 1896, which is
marked on the consciousness of student activists.
