Reasons why Filipinos want to have a revolt against Spaniards


 Abolition of the privileges enjoyed by the Cavite workers
 Spanish Revolution overthrew the secular throne
 Dirty propagandas proliferated by unrestrained press
 The animosity of the native clergy against the Spanish friars
Filipino got an idea to attain their independence.
Izquierdo reported to the King of Spain that the rebels wanted to
overthrow the Spanish government.
The meetings of the natives are held in the house of Joaquin Pardo de
Tavera or in Jacinto Zamora.
Together with the Garrison of Manila, they planned to assassinate the
officers and to dispose the government itself.
The signal of their revolt was the firing of rockets from the walls of
Intramuros on January 20,1872.
January 20,1872 – the district of Sampaloc is celebrating a feast, and fireworks
were displayed and rockets fired into the air. Allegedly, those in Cavite mistook
the fireworks as the sign for the attack.
The native soldiers under the leadership of Sergeant La Madrid launched an


attack targeting Spanish officers.
When the news reached to Gov. Izquierdo, he readily ordered the
reinforcement of the Spanish forces.
D. Felipe Ginoves demanded rendition and waited for the rebels to surrender.
Major instigators including Sergeant La Madrid were killed and the others
are arrested including the GOMBURZA.
February 5, 1872 – after the trial of GOMBURZA were sentenced to die by
strangulation.
February 17,1872 – Gomez was executed first, then Zamora, then Burgos and
lastly, Saldua.
April 3, 1872 – Joaquin Pardo de Tavera, Antonio Ma. Regidor. Jose and Pro
Basa and other abogadillos were suspended by the Audencia from the practice
of law.
April 4, 1872 – Izquierdo dissolved the native regiments of artillery and ordered
