Arcadio Arellano made the design for the monument in 1915 and the Asociación de los Veteranos de la Revolución and the city government of Manila was responsible for the construction of the structure. It was inaugurated on May 30, 1920.

Design
The design of the monument was made by Arcadio de Guzmán Arellano, the brother of Juan Arellano. The neoclassical structure is a massive cubic structure on an elevated square podium. A shallow dome rests on a drum fenestrated by small openings to allow the circulation of air and primarily to let the natural light to come in. Swags, frets with key patterns, and human figures that represent grief to those who died fill up the façade.
