Lim, Jihan A.

After watching the short video on the subject “Cavite Mutiny & Execution of

Gomburza”, I registered how exceedingly inhuman the spanish colonists are for their

treatment towards filipinos. The story of Gomburza was one of the many incidents which

had inspired Rizal to stand up for our country, in which without whom we may not have

achieved liberty and thus acknowledge the video.

The GOMBURZA are a trio of priests known as Mariano Gomez, Jacinto Zamora, and

José Burgos who were considered now as martyrs to the cause of philippine

independence. These priests were executed on 17th of February 1872 at Bagumbayan,

the same place where Rizal got executed years after. The particular reason for the

GOMBURZA’s execution was tied to the Mutiny in Cavite where filipino workers rebelled

and fought for equality. The Spanish regime implicated the three intellectual priests in

connection to the Mutiny without sufficient evidence which only showed how unjust the

situation was and led to their barbaric execution. The execution only showcased the

Spaniards cruelty to Filipinos during that period and how disheartening the situation it is

to hear, particularly for the Filipinos that time that had to experience such acts, though it

is only a portion of the history from that period, it will suffice to be regarded as beyond

misery.
