Cavite Munity Essay

A Step Back in Time
To begin with, nationalism is what we called unity to one’s country and the loyalty and
the love of its people. Nationalism advocate the right people who classify themselves as a
country who have dignity and independence. It has a goal to achieve and a mission to fulfill. A
person who is nationalistic is believing that their country is much better than any of other
country. They devote their love, loyalty, dignity, and determination to their own country. I can
show my Nationalism and Patriotism in our society by voting a right leader who unite people and
make a good influence to others. Another, by Supporting national park and being able to
celebrate Independence Day and National Heroes Day.
Trinidad H. Pardo De Talavera tells the Filipino version. In Fort San Felipe Arsenal in
Cavite, on January 20, 1872, approximately 200 Filipino military personnel staged a mutiny that
paved the way for the 1896 Philippine Revolution. The removal of long-standing personal
benefits to workers such as tax (tribute) and compelled labor exemptions, ordered by governor
Rafael de Izquierdo, triggered the 1872 Cavite Mutiny. Izquierdo succeeded governor Carlos
Maria de la Torre in 1871, and he immediately reversed Torre’s liberal policies and imposed his
iron fist rule. He was adamantly opposed to any reformist or nationalist movements in the
Philippines. He only served for a few months, but he is remembered for his cruelty to Filipinos
and the brutal execution of the three martyr-priests blamed for the mutiny: Fathers Mariano
Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora, who became known as "Gomburza."
Izquierdo used the mutiny to bring Gomburza and other prominent Filipinos with liberal
views into the fray. Famous Filipinos, including priests, professionals, and business owners,
were arrested and sentenced to prison, death, or exile on flimsy and fabricated charges. Among
them are Joaquin Pardo de Tavera, Jose Basa, and Antonio M. Regidor. After seeing and hearing
fireworks across Manila Bay, which were actually a celebration of the feast of the woman of
Loreto in Sampaloc, the Cavite mutineers were said to have received their cue from Manila. It's
worth noting that the seeds of nationalism planted in Cavite eventually grew into the Philippine
Revolution and, later, Emilio Aguinaldo's Declaration of Independence, both of which were
conceived in Cavite. The 1872 Cavite Mutiny, in my opinion, reinforced the stereotype that
Caviteos were the foremost brave of my fellow Filipinos.
A revolution seeks to wrest authority or rights from an oppressive regime, with the
ultimate goal of achieving freedom. A revolution is a critical act or event because it can mark a
significant turning point in history. It will occur after rebellions revolt against its colonizer. The
Cavite Mutiny marked the beginning of the Spanish Revolution. The execution of the
GOMBURZA is the beginning, and it paved the way for the revolution in 1898. Whereas a revolt
occurs when people are offended by something, such as regulations or laws, and band together to
express their displeasure. A revolt may be on a smaller scale than a revolution. To undertake and
change something, a violent outburst is required. Filipinos attempted to revolt against Spanish
colonization on numerous occasions. Their revolt failed due to unjust taxation and forced labor.
However, the revolution could be a systemic attempt to change something. It is a performance in
which citizens attempt to change their countries. Both the words revolt and revolution are
frequently misunderstood because they not only sound similar, but they also see similar things.
Both terms refer to a desired uprising or turmoil that may or may not involve violence. As a
result, it's no wonder that the terms rebellion and revolution are often used interchangeably.
Finally, in January 20,1892 the Cavite Mutiny, a brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and
workers at the Cavite arsenal, provided justification for Spanish repression of the fledgling
Philippine nationalist movement. The mutiny was quickly put down, but the Spanish regime, led
by fascistic governor Rafael de Izquierdo, overstated the incident and used it as a pretext to
restrict the rights of Filipinos who demanded governmental reform. A number of intellectuals
from the Philippines were apprehended and charged with collaborating with the mutineers.
Following a brief trial, three priests, José Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and Mariano Gómez, were
publicly executed. The three were later martyred for their role in explaining Philippine
independence. The road to independence was treacherous and difficult; many patriots, both well-
known and unknown, sacrificed their lives to bring about reforms and independence. The 12 th of
June, 1898, was a glorious day for us, but we must not forget that our forefathers had to go
through a lot of pain to get to this point. May we be more historically aware of our past as we
commemorate our liberties in order to have a better future. Let us “not forget those who fell in
the night,” as Elias says in Noli me Tangere.
