The first Cry of Nueva Ecija (Filipino: Sigaw ng Nueva Ecija; Spanish: Grito de Nueva Écija) occurred on September 2–5, 1896,^[1] in the province of Nueva Ecija, in the Philippines under Spanish rule. It followed shortly after the Cry of Pugad Lawin and was the first call for revolution in central Luzon. Roughly 3,000 volunteers were led by Mariano Llanera and Pantaleon Valmonte (the Gobernadorcillos of Cabiao and Gapan, respectively). They marched towards San Isidro, the provincial capital, where after fighting several battles with the Spanish forces, their army was finally forced to retreat and to undertake guerrilla warfare.^[2]
