CAVITE MUTINY OF 1872

ENRICH YOUR SKILLS.

Directions: Explain in 100 words each of the questions below. You may handwrite (legibly)
or typewrite your answers in a long size bond paper.
1) What are the two faces of Cavite Mutiny? Explain each.
The two faces of Cavite Mutiny according to the module that I have read are:
1. The Cavite Mutiny of 1872; 2. Martyrdom of the three martyr priest
THE CAVITE MUTINY OF 1872
It is an uprising of the Filipino military personnel of Fort San Felipe (which was the
Spanish arsenal in Cavite province in the Philippines’) comprise of 200 Philippine soldiers
recruited colonial troops and laborer, dated January 20, 1872. The uprising was due to the
harsh policy of Governor General Rafael de Izquerdo, suppressing the privilege of the
arsenal workers to be exempt from the tribute and the compulsory labor obligation. The
mutiny was unsuccessful; they were defeated by the soldiers of General Felipe Ginovés. The
government soldiers executed many of the mutineers who would not pledge their allegiance
to Spain. Other mutineers were later exiled to the Philippine Island of Mindanao and were
sentence to life imprisonment.
MARTYRDOM OF THE THREE MARTYR PRIEST
It is all about the uprising and the execution of the three Filipino Catholic priest, dated
February 28, 1872 at the Bagumbayan, Philipphines by the Spanish colonial authorities on
charges of subversion arising from the 1872 Cavite Mutiny. The priests were; Mariano
Gomez, Jose Apolonio Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora, they were brilliant men who used their
education to fight for a reform in the said government. Gomez is a Spanish priest in Bacoor,
Cavite and is also the founder of the newspaper, La Verdad. Through the newspaper he
described the condition of the country under Spanish government and printed liberal articles
of Burgos. They were later called as Filibusteros and was killed through garrote. The
execution of the GOMBURZA is an attempt by the Spanish government and Frailocracia to
instill fear among the Filipinos in order never again to commit such a daring act. This event
was tragic, but it served as one of Filipino nationalism’s moving forces.

2. Was the 1872 Cavite event a local mutiny or a national revolution? Defend your answer.

The Cavite Mutiny is a local mutiny because it is a brief uprising of only 200 Philippine
soldiers’ recruited colonial troops and laborer that reacted to a decree of Governor General
Izquerdo, and because the mutineers were under the belief that they would have support in
manila causing them to create an uprising. It is a local mutiny because the uprising was a
brief one and it only happened in Cavite.

RETRACTION OF RIZAL

ENRICH YOUR SKILLS

Answer the following questions briefly.
1) Why Garcia did believe that Rizal really retracted his Masonic Affiliation?
In Rizal’s retraction letter it stated: “I declare myself a Catholic and in this religion in
which I was born and educated I wish to live and die. I retract with all my heart whatever in
my words, writings, publications and conduct has been contrary to my character as son of
the Catholic Church.” Based on my interpretation on the account of Garcia, Rizal did
retract his Masonic affiliation. He was persuaded by his professors. According to Garcia
upon Fr. Balaguers persuasion to Rizal they had a conversation pertaining to logic and
evidence of catholic truth, Fr. Balaguer told Rizal “if he did not yield his mind and his
reason for the sake of faith, he surely will be damned.” Rizal was affected with this
reproach that he gave in and said: “Look here, Father if you please Your Reverence I
would like to say yes to everything and would be sign everything you present to me
without meaning it would be a hypocrite and would offend God”. And so Rizal did retract
his Masonic affiliation.
2) What proofs did Garcia provide to defend his arguments?
According to R. Garcia the first eyewitness was Fr. Vicente Balaguer Llacera who
sworn to him in Murcia, Spain on August 8, 1917, along with Fr. Vicente Balaguer Llacera
were other priest. The Lieutenant of the infantry was the second eyewitness. And on May
18, 1935 papers entitled “Maoneria” was found by archdiocesan archivist Fr. Manuel
Garcia, C.M. at the Archbishops house. It was the retraction and other documents of so
many Filipino Freemasons.

CRY OF BALINTAWK OR PUGAD LAWIN?

Part I – Essay. Direction: To enrich your skills, explain the following questions briefly.
1) Why did the “Cry of Rebellion” happened?

The “Cry of Rebellion’ happened because Andres Bonifacio stand and fought bravely along
with the Katipuneros for the freedom and independence of our country against the Spaniards. It
happened on August 1896. The tearing of the cedulas was known as the First Cry of Revolution.

2) The issue of Katipunan uprising in August 1896 varies from source to source. Where do you think did
the “first Cry of Revolution” happened? Expound your answers by citing sources.

There are so many accounts of dates and places where the “first Cry of Revolution”
happened, because Bonifacio move from different places from time to time in evading the
Spanish Government who were pursuing the Katipuneros. According to different accounts it
happened in four places: Balintawak, Kangkong, Pugad Lawin and Bahay Toro, while dates
differ from: 23, 24, 25, and 26th of August 1986.
I do believe that the “first Cry of Revolution” happened in Pugad Lawin on Augst 23,
1896 and I based my conclusion on Dr. Pio Valenzuela’s Account and because he is one of the
surviving witnesses of the Cry of Pugad Lawin. https://filipino.biz.ph/history/pugadlawin.html
this is one of the sites that I have read that says that the first Cry of Revolution happened in
Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1986 this is the time when Bonifacio and the Katipunero tear their
cedulas into pieces.

3) J, m Which account do you think was more reliable source of information to the First Cry of
Revolution?

For me the most reliable account would be Dr. Pio Valenzuela’s account, because he is a
close associate of Andres Bonifacio and fellow historian, Teodoro Agoncillo reported in 1956
that it took place in Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896, supporting Pio’s report in 1956 that it took
place in Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896, echoing Pio Valenzuela's statement. Pio Valenzuela is
one of the surviving witness of the Cry of Pugad Lawin, and this is confirmed by the list drawn
up by Guillermo Masangkay. He is also the only doctor participating in the cry. He is also known
for hving impeccable memoy. This is demonstrated with his recollections of his meeting with
Rizal in Dapitan, months before the launch of the Revolution. He also wrote in his Memoirs of
the Revolution and claim that the Cry took place at Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896.
