government in the Philippines.
 On this account Izquierdo and Montero initially thought that the reason for the revolution
of Filipinos is because of the abolition of the rights or privileges of people who works in
Cavite arsenal. The said privileges were the non-payment of tributes, and the exemption
from force labor. Other reasons: Spanish Revolution which overthrew the secular throne,
dirty propagandas, democratic, liberal and republican pamphlets and books reaching the
Philippines and the native clergy who supported and conspired the rebels and enemies of
spain, and the Spanish friars.
 Moreover, Izquierdo seize the opportunity use the situation and manipulate the people, he
even reported to the King of Spain about the rebels or the Filipinos to overthrew Spain
and have new king. He even told that the new king is in the likes of the priests, Father
Burgos and Zamora.

with civil government matters and the management of educational institutions.
