Filipino Perspective on 1872 Cavite Mutiny

The summary provides context around two key events in 1872 - the Cavite Mutiny and the martyrdom of three Filipino priests known as GOMBURZA. The Cavite Mutiny involved 200 soldiers and laborers revolting against Spanish rule at a arsenal in Cavite but was unsuccessful. It was viewed differently in the Spanish and Filipino versions - the Spanish framing it as an attempt to overthrow the government while the Filipino version saw it as a protest over lost privileges. The mutiny and subsequent execution of the three priests served to awaken Filipino nationalism and pave the way for the Philippine Revolution of 1896.

200 soldiers and laborers Who took advantage of the
revolted against Spaniards at incident saying Filipinos
the Cavite Arsenal (Fort San attempted to overthrow
Filipe) Spanish government.
The mutiny was unsuccessful.
[Link] Herminigildo
Pardo de Tavera
• A Filipino scholar and researcher

• Wrote a Filipino version of the bloody


incident in Cavity.

• In his point of view, the incident was a


mere mutiny by the native Filipino
soldiers and laborers of the Cavity
arsenal who turned out to be
dissatisfied with the abolition of the
privileges

• Spanish friars and Izquierdo used the


Cavity mutiny as a conspiracy to
overthrow the Spanish government.
Sergeant Fernando
La Madrid
• Headed the 200 men and assassinated the
commanding officer and spanish officers in sight
and ceased the arsenal.

• Izquierdo, upon learning the attack ordered


reinforcement of the spanish forces in Cavite to
quell the revolt

Manilenos who were expected to aid the
Cavitenos did not arrive.
Segismundo Moret

schools run by the friars into a
school called Philippine Institute.

• The decree proposed to improve the


standard of education in the
Philippines.

• This improvement was warmly


received by most Filipinos in spite of
the native clergy’s zest for
secularization
NEGATIVE STAND
The Cavite Mutiny of 1872 may have
cleared the path for the Filipino
Nationalism, but it also gave way to the
uprising of the conflicts and the
questioning of Spanish governance over
the Filipinos.
The Filipino version of the Cavite Mutiny is viewed
as a revolt for rights and privileges compares to the
Spanish version where it is viewed as a revolution
against the government, though it may be a fact, the
main point of the Cavite Mutiny was to pave way for
the injustice being given to the soldiers and
workers of Cavite when Captain-General Rafael
Izquierdo was given the power.
POSITIVE STAND
The road to independence was rough and
tough to toddle, many patriots named and
unnamed shed their bloods to attain reforms
and achieve independence. we should not
forget that before we came across to victory,
our forefathers suffered enough. As we enjoy
our freedom, may we be more historically
aware of our past to have a better future
ahead of us. And just like what Elias said in
Noli me Tangere, may we "not forget those
who fell during the night."
FINAL STAND
1. There are things within the Cavite
Mutiny that are commonly misunderstood
since it was narrated and translated into
two versions

Gen. Izquierdo assumed that the


movement was to overthrow the Spanish
government out of the Philippines and
therefore reported it to the King of
Spain, saying that the rebels wanted to
overthrow them and bestow a new ruler
or "hari" to the likes of Padre Burgos
and Zamora.
FINAL STAND
The Cavite Mutiny started on
January 20, 1872, with the men of
Sergeant La Madrid, consisting of
soldiers, workers, and residents of
Cavite, mistook the usual
fireworks display as a sign for
their attack.
FINAL STAND
The news of the attack got to
Izquierdo therefore reinforcing
Spanish forces in Cavite and
killing Sergeant La Madrid along
with his men. The backup of
Sergeant La Madrid's forces from
Manila didn't also arrive to help.
FINAL STAND
The friars of the Spanish
government took the Cavite
Mutiny as a reason to raise their
powers and influence once again
since the Central Government of
Spain was reconsidering to
enforce a standard degree of
education in the Philippines
therefore fearing that their
power and influence would be a
thing of the past.
FINAL STAND
Convicted educated men who
participated in the mutiny were
sentenced to life imprisonment
while the three martyr priests
known as GOMBURZA were also
imprisoned along with them.
They underwent a brief but
shadowy trial in which they were
sentenced to death through
strangulation or garrote.
FINAL STAND
This act was supposedly to
instill fear towards the Filipinos
in order to prevent another
revolution from happening
again, but instead it served as a
moving force that shaped
Filipino Nationalism which
paved the way for the Philippine
Revolution in the year 1896.
