 TASK 2. “The Historical If”
1. Write a 300 word essay entitled “What if Cavite mutiny did not happen.” In this essay
you should be able to support your argument.

As a student and a Filipino, the article of Cavite munity is very

s
important. I think that this article shows how bad Spaniards treat us. There

a
are different sides of the story regarding the Cavite mutiny, there are distinct

ew
versions and interpretations as well. I believe in my opinion that the version
of the Filipino perspective is an eye opener for everyone not just for Filipino
but also the people who read the article. Both the Filipino and Spanish

c
versions introduced that the explanation of the munity was due to the unfair
ur
decision of the governor-general in the abolition of the privileges in terms of
so
force labor. This unforgettable event strengthened the dominance of the
Spanish friar and led the Spanish government to control the soldiers.
se ia re

It is bias for me to think that Filipino version of Cavite munity is

m

more important to read than the Spanish perspective. Obviously, there was
Co re tud

co
an unfair treatment during the Spanish era. And there’s no doubt that the
reports of Izquierdo became bias also. Even when the ruling came, there was
o.

no process of further investigation about the mutiny and even killed the
s

alleged founders Gomez, Burgos and Zamora.

Th

However if the Cavite munity did not happen, I think we might

still be suffering a lot more longer from slavery of other nation and we won’t
a

able to have the independence that we have right now. This occasion
sh

assisted the old Filipinos to join the revolution and to seek for freedom of
my country. Concentrating and studying on this event helped the youthful
age of Filipinos to efforts and sacrifices of our Filipino heroes in order to
accomplish the opportunity and freedom we have today. And by that, if the
Cavite munity did not happen, we will not be able to awake the truth.
