    The Cavite Mutiny in 1872 was a brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and workers at a Spanish arsenal in Cavite that was quickly crushed by Spanish authorities. The Spanish regime exaggerated the incident and used it to crack down on Filipino calls for governmental reform, arresting intellectuals accused of complicity. After a brief trial, three Filipino priests - José Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and Mariano Gómez - were publicly executed, making them martyrs for the growing Philippine independence movement despite the Spanish government's attempts to suppress burgeoning nationalism.

    Cavite Mutiny, (Jan. 20, 1872), brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and
    workers at the Cavite arsenal, 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.
    The mutiny was quickly crushed, but the Spanish regime under the
    reactionary governor Rafael de Izquierdo magnified the incident and used it as
    an excuse to clamp down on those Filipinos who had been calling for
    governmental reform. A number of Filipino intellectualswere seized and
    accused of complicity with the mutineers. After a brief trial, three priests—
    José Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and Mariano Gómez—were publicly executed.
    The three subsequently became martyrs to the cause of Philippine
    independence.
