    Presence of the native clergy, against the Spanish friars,


    “conspired and supported” the rebels.
    in the Spanish accounts,

    1872
    Was premeditated, apart of a big conspiracy
    among educated leaders, mestizos, lawyers and
    residents of Manila and Cavite.

    Spanish officers then kill friars.

    FEBRUARY 15 TH

    Fathers Gomez, Burgos, and


    Zamora or also known as the
    GOMBURZA
    Were tried by a court-martial and

    This is a scene purportedly witnessed by a young


    Jose Rizal
    A Response to
    Injustice: The
    Filipino Version
    of the Incident
    Dr. Trinidad
    Hermenegildo
    Pardo De Tavera
    • A Filipino scholar and researcher
    • Wrote a Filipino version of the
    bloody incident in Cavite.

    the incident was merely a munity by Filpino soldiers


    and the laborers of the Cavite arsenal to the
    dissatisfaction arising from the draconian policies
    of Izquierdo (abolition of privileges and prohibition
    of the founding of the school of arts and trades)
    The Central
    Spanish
    Government
    Was planning to deprive the friars of all the
    powers of intervention in matters of civil
    government and direction and management of
    educational institutions.
    An excerpt from

    Pardo de Tavera’s Account of


    the Cavite Mutiny
    “…filipino had great hopes of an improvement in
    the affairs of their country..”

    “…the friar feared that their power in the colony


    would soon be complete a thing of the past..”
    Edmund
    Plauchut
    • A French writer
    • Complemented Tavera’s account
    and analyzed the motivation of the
    1872 Cavite Mutiny.

    “…the arrival in Manila of Gen. Izquierdo put a


    sudden end to all dreams of reforms
    …such a policy must really end in a strong desire
    on the art of the other to repress cruelly..”
    Differing Accounts
    Friars used Cavite mutiny as a part of a larger conspiracy to cement
    their dominances.

    They showcased the mutiny as a part of a Greater Conspiracy in the


    Philippines by the Filipinos to overthrow the Spanish Government.

    Unintentionally, it resulted in the martyrdom of GOMBURZA.

    And Paved way to the revolution culminating in 1898
