    The Spanish authorities in the Philippines resorted to a reign of terror to crush the growing revolutionary movement that threatened the existing social and political order. Soldiers forcibly entered homes of suspected rebels to gather evidence. A decree was issued placing several provinces under martial law, allowing military trials for those accused of treason. Hundreds were arrested, tortured through methods like hanging and electrocution, and imprisoned. Many leaders and families were exiled or executed, but this did not deter the Filipinos from continuing their fight for independence from Spanish tyranny.

    Spanish Reign of Terror

    The flames of the revolutionary movement that seeks to change the existing
    social and political order gained momentum and evidently became a threat to Spanish
    authorities. In order to sow fear to the people and crushed the rebels, the Spanish
    soldiers resorted to the reign of terror entering indiscriminately houses of the suspected
    rebels through force in order to secure evidence against those who were directly
    involved in the uprising.
    Meanwhile, Governor-General Ramon Blanco issued a decree on August 30,
    declaring the provinces of Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Bulacan, Pampanga,
    Tarlac and Nueva Ecija, in a state of war and placed them under Martial Law. The
    decree provided that any person accused treachery on those against the present form
    of government will be tried by the military court, the decree provided for a proviso, that
    those who would surrender to the Government within 48 hours after the publication of
    the decree would be turned over the military court, except the leaders of the
    Katipunan.. Some Katipuneros took advantage of the proviso, but they were forced at
    the point of a bayonet to squeal about the secret society and its member for fear of pain
    to be inflicted. Hundreds were arrested and incarcerated in Fort Santiago. Torture by
    way of hanging the suspect, or the used of electric machine whose wires were
    connected to the feet and hands of the suspect were employed. Suspects in the
    provinces were hauled to Manila to suffer inhuman punishment. Hundreds of heads of
    families were shipped to the Spanish penal colony in Africa to receive what the
    Spaniards considered their just punishment. Several types of human violations against
    the Filipino people were employed by the Spaniards. There were suspected
    Katipuneros who were executed in Cavite, Bicol, and Capis; but the most infamous
    injustice was executed by the Colonial Government at Bagumbayan Field (now the
    Rizal Park) on December 30, 1896. These executions did not deter the Filipinos to fight
    with intense passion up to the last drop of their blood.
    In spite of the Spanish terroristic policy to stop the revolution through
    imprisonment, torture and execution of the Katipuneros, the flames of the revolution did
    not stop the Filipinos to fight the Spanish tyranny.
