AUGUST 30, 1896
Simultaneous with the attack in El Polvorin led by Andres Bonifacio, the people of Santa Mesa, Pandacan, Pateros, Taguig, San Pedro, Makati, Caloocan, Balik-balik, and San Juan del Monte in Manila, and San Francisco de Malabon, Kawit and Noveleta in Cavite also rose up in arms.
Gov. Gen. Ramon Blanco placed under martial law the eight provinces of Luzon - Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija and Tarlac. Katipuneros captured in El Polverin that included Sancho Valenzuela were summarily tried and executed.
