Who was Pío Valenzuela?

Pío Valenzuela was a Filipino physician and patriot who was among the leaders of the Katipunan that started the Philippine Revolution against Spain. Valenzuela City in northern Metro Manila was named after him.

He wrote his memoirs of the Philippine Revolution in the 1920s, but historians have since been wary of his autobiography because of some inconsistencies in his version of events, particularly about his meeting with José Rizal in Dapitan in 1896.

Valenzuela was the first mayor of municipality of Polo from 1899-1900 before he became the governor of Bulacan province from 1921-1925.
