    The document summarizes three accounts of the Cavite Mutiny of 1872 from different perspectives: 1) The Filipino version sees it as a mutiny in response to a new governor's harsh policies, not a revolution. 2) The official Spanish report depicts it as sparked by workers losing tax exemptions and labor privileges. 3) The Spanish version views it as a deliberate attempt by native troops to overthrow Spanish rule through rebellion and sedition, justifying the executions that followed.

    NARRATIVE REPORT: THREE ACCOUNTS OF THE CAVITE MUTINY

    FILIPINO VERSION

    Dr. Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera narrates the Filipino version. According to him, the so-called

    Cavite Mutiny was merely a mutiny orchestrated by native soldiers and laborers in response to the

    harsh policy of the new governor-general, Rafael de Izquierdo, who whimsically terminated old-time

    privileges such as exempting them from paying annual tribute and from performing forced labor or

    polo. As accounted, the mutiny was blown up into a revolution by Spanish authorities and friars as a

    way for Filipinos to win independence from the Spanish crown.

    Official Report of Governor Izquierdo on the Cavite Mutiny of 1872

    Rafael de Izquierdo y Gutiérrez was born on September 30, 1820, in Madrid, Spain. From

    March to April 1862, he served as Governor-General of Puerto Rico as a Spanish military officer,

    political leader, and statesman. On instruction from Governor General Rafael de Izquierdo, he

    depicted the 1872 Cavite Mutiny as being sparked by the loss of long-standing personal advantages to

    workers, such as tax (tribute) and compulsory labor exemptions.

    General Izquierdo observed and assisted in the following events in the Philippines: On his first

    inspection visit, he discovered a judge in Albay selling the government. He attempted to secularize the

    Philippine educational system. He wanted the boys' school to be separate from the girls', and he made

    it mandatory for children to attend primary school. He also established Naga's first normal school for

    teachers. There were just 280 registered teachers when Izquierdo came, but that number grew to 624
    throughout his tenure. He also emphasized the need of vocational and technical schools. To restore

    the Philippines, General Izquierdo instituted such rules.

    Spanish Version

    Jose Montero y Vidal narrates the Spanish version of the Cavite Mutiny of 1872. His account

    is based on the idea that the catastrophic incident of January 20, 1872, occurred as a result of a

    deliberate attempt by unhappy native troops and employees of Cavite Arsenal who wilfully revolted

    to overturn Spanish power, and therefore were guilty of rebellion and sedition. The execution of

    famous Spaniards and friars by Spanish officials is justified by such deeds, and the punishment of life

    imprisonment and deportation of those locals critical of their incongruent authority is unquestionably

    legal, if morally ambiguous.
