II. Historical Background of Primary
Source
• Cavite Mutiny, ( Jan. 20,1897), brief uprising of 200

which became the excuse for Spanish repression of
the embryonic Philippine nationalist movement.
Ironically, the harsh reaction of the Spanish
authorities served ultimately to promote the
nationalist cause.
III. Content
Filipino Version of the Cavite Mutiny of
1872
• The Filipino version of the bloody incident of Cavite in 1872 was written by Dr.
Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, Filipino scholar, scientist, and historical researcher.
According to him, this incident was merely a mutiny by the native Filipino soldiers
and laborers of the Cavite arsenal against the harsh policy of despotic Governor
and Captain-General Rafael de Izquierdo (1871-1873) which abolished their old-
time privileges of exemption from paying the annual tribute and from rendering
the polo (forced labor). The loss of these privileges was naturally resented by the
soldiers and laborers. Some of them, impelled by volcanic wrath, rose in arms on
the night of January 20, 1872, and killed the commanding officer of the Cavite
arsenal and other Spanish officers. This was easily suppressed by the Spanish
troops which were rushed from Manila. This turbulent Cavite incident, which was
magnified by the Spanish officials and friars into a revolt for Philippine
independence, is narrated by Padro de Tavera.

the Cavite Munity of 1872
• Governor General Rafael Izquierdo reported to the
Spanish Minister of War, dated Manila, January 23,
1872, blaming the Cavite Mutiny on the native clergy,
some local residents, intellectuals, and even El Eco
Filipino, a Madrid-based reformist newspaper.
Significantly, he calls the military mutiny an
“insurrection”, an “uprising”, and a “revolution”.
El Eco Filipino
• This was a fortnightly periodical and was established by a Spanish
brother-in-law of Jose Maria Basa, in Madrid in 1871, with Manuel
Regidor, brother of Dr. Antonio Ma. Regidor y Jurado, as editor. It
should be noted that Manuel Regidor wrote under his pen-name the
rare and valuable book entitled Islas Filipinas (1869), which Dr. Rizal
highly praised because of its bold expose of the defects of Spanish
rule in the Philippines and the
