    Cavite Mutiny 1872 1

    Uploaded by

    Jenriel Baconawa
    The 1872 Cavite Mutiny was a revolt by around 200 Filipino soldiers and laborers at the Spanish arsenal in Cavite who believed it would spark a national uprising against Spanish rule. However, the mutiny was unsuccessful and many participants were executed. In response, the Spanish governor implicated three prominent Filipino priests, Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora, who were summarily tried and executed. This event is seen as the beginning of the Philippine nationalist movement and the road to independence in 1898. It is commemorated annually and debated between Spanish and Filipino historians over whether it was a full conspiracy or just a localized mutiny.

    TWO FACES OR PERSPECTIVE OF CAVITE
    MUTINY

    1. Spanish Version
    2. Filipino Version
    (a prolific Spanish historian)
    Rafael Geró nimo Cayetano
    Izquierdo y Gutiérrez was a
    Spanish Military Officer, politician,
    and statesman. He served as
    Governor-General of the
    Philippines from 4 April 1871 to 8
    January 1873.
    Born: September 30, 1820,
    Santander, Spain
    Died: November 9, 1883, Madrid,
    Spain
    Full name: Rafael Geró nimo
    Cayetano Izquierdo y Gutiérrez
    Nationality: Spanish
    • Magnified the event and made use of it to
    implicate the native clergy, which was then
    active in the call for secularization.
    • Magnified the event and made use of it to

    • He reported to the King of Spain that the


    “rebels” wanted to overthrow the Spanish
    government to install a new “hari” in the likes
    of Father’s Burgos and Zamora
    “…it has not been clearly determined if
    they planned to establish a monarchy
    or republic , because the indios have
    no words in their language to describe
    this form of government…”

    “…whose head in Filipino would be called


    hari: but it turns out that they would place
    at the head of the government a priest…
    that the head selected would be Jose
    Burgos, or Jacinto Zamora…”
    Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera (Dr.
    Pardo De Vera)
    Born: April 13 1857 in Manila
    Died: on March 26 1925 in the age
    of 67 years old
    Nationality: Filipino
    • A Filipino Scholar and
    Researcher
    • Wrote a Filipino version of the
    bloody incident in Cavite.
    ACCORDING TO PARDO DE TAVERA,

    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.

    • Blamed Gov. Izquierdo cold blooded policies such as:


    - the abolition of privileges of the workers and native army members of the arsenal.
    - Prohibition of the founding of school pf arts and trades for the Filipinos, which the
    general believed as a cover-up of organization and political club.
    Tavera believed that the Spanish friars and Izquierdo used the Cavite
    Mutiny as a powerful lever by magnifying it as a full-blown conspiracy
    involving not only the native army but also included residents of Cavite and
    Manila, and more importantly the native clergy to overthrow the Spanish
    government in the Philippines.
    • Convicted educated men
    who participated in the
    mutiny were sentenced life
    imprisonment.
    • Convicted educated men
    who participated in the
    mutiny were sentenced life
    imprisonment.
    • Convicted educated men
    who participated in the
    mutiny were sentenced life
    imprisonment.

    • Members of the native


    clergy headed by the
    GOMBURZA were tried and
    executed by garrote.

    • This episode leads to the


    awakening of Nationalism
    and eventually to the
    outbreak of Philippine
    Revolution of 1896.
    Our Philippine Independence can be
    traced back from the Cavite Mutiny
