    The 1872 Cavite Mutiny was a brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and workers at the Cavite arsenal in the Philippines. There are two perspectives on the event - the Spanish perspective saw it as an attempt to overthrow the Spanish government, while the Filipino perspective viewed it as a mutiny in response to the abolition of worker privileges. This event led to the execution of three priests, Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora, and helped spark growing Filipino nationalism which ultimately led to the Philippine Revolution of 1896.

    Two Faces of the 1872 Cavite Mutiny

    June 12, 1898


    Philippine Independence Day

    2 Major Events in 1872


    1. 1872 Cavite Mutiny
    2. Martyrdom of GOMBURZA

    January 20, 1872


    Brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and workers at the Cavite arsenal
    Three martyr priests
    Mariano GOmez, Jose BURgoz, Jacinto ZAmora (GOMBURZA)
    Executed on February 17, 1872 in Bagumbayan
    Suspected of having incited the Cavite Mutiny of 1872

    --Spanish Perspective--
    -> Jose Montero y Vidal

    Spanish historian
    Highlighted the event as an attempt of the Indios to overthrow the Spanish
    government in the Philippines

    -> Governor General Rafael Izquierdo

    Used the event to implicate the native clergy, which was then active in the call for
    secularization
    Secularization, isang kultural na pagbabago na kung saan ang relihiyosong
    paniniwala ay unti-unting naglalaho at napapalitan ng mga superstisyon
    Izquierdo blamed the unruly Spanish Press for "stockpiling" malicious propagandas
    grasped by the Filipinos
    The rebels wanted to overthrow the Spanish government to install a new "hari" in
    the likes of Father Burgos and Zamora

    Both Montero and Izquierdo scored that the abolition or removal of the privileges
    of the workers of Cavite arsenal were the main revolution of the uprising
    Other causes such as the Spanish revolution which overthrew the secular throne,
    dirty propagandas, democratic, liberal and republican books, and the presence of

    the native clergy who our of animosity against the Spanish friars, "conspired and
    supported" the rebels and enemies of Spain
    They deemed that the event was planned earlier and was thought of it as a big
    conspiracy.
    Insinuated that the rebels planned to liquidate high-ranking Spanish officers to be
    followed by the massacre of the friars
    The alleged pre-concerted signal among the conspirators of Manila and Cavite was
    the firing of rockets from the walls of Intramuros
    The district of Sampaloc celebrated the feast of the Virgin of Loreto
    The conspirators from Cavite, which was led by Sergeant Lamadrid, mistook the
    fireworks as a launch for the attack
    GOMBURZA were tried by a court-martial and were sentenced to death by garotte

    --Filipino Version of the Incident--


    -> **Dr. Trinidad Hermenigildo Pardo de Tavera

    Filipino scholar and researcher


    Wrote a Filipino version of the Cavite Mutiny
    The incident was a mere mutiny by the native Filipino soldiers and laborers of the
    Cavite arsenal who turned out to be dissatisfied with the abolition of their privileges
    such as tribute or salaries
    Blamed Gov. Izquierdo's cold-blooded policies
    Believed that the Spanish friars and Izquierdo used the Cavite Mutiny as a powerful
    lever by magnifying it as a full-blown conspiracy in order to overthrow the Spanish
    government in the Philippines
    Confirmed that the Madrid government believed the scheme was true without any
    attempt to investigate the real facts reported by Izquierdo and the friars

    Central Government in Madrid announced its intention to deprive the friars of all
    the powers of intervention in matters of civil government and the direction and
    management of educational institutions.
    Welcomed an educational decree authored by Segismundo Moret promoted the
    fusion of sectarian schools run by the friars into a school called Philippine
    Institute.
    Proposed to improve the standard of education in the Philippines by requiring
    teaching positions in such schools to be filled by competitive examinations
    The execution of GOMBURZA led to the awakening of nationalism and eventually to
    the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution of 1896

    1.Dissatisfaction among the workers of the arsenal as well as the members of the native
    army after their privileges were abolished
    2.Gen. Izquierdo's policied made the Filipinos move and turn away from the Spanish
    government out of disgust.

    Government in Spain decided to deprive them of the power to intervene in government
    affairs as well as in the direction and management of schools prompting them to commit
    frantic moves to extend their stay and power
    5.Filipino clergy members actively participated in the secularization movement in order to
    allow Filipino priests to take hold of the parishes in the country making them prey to the
    rage of the friars
    6.Filipinos during the time were active participants, and responded to what they deemed
    as injustices
    7.Execution of GOMBURZA was a blunder on the part of the Spanish government
