APPLICATION
COMPARISON
Jose Montero y Vidal’s Version
Like Gov. Gen Rafael Izquerdo’s version, this
account complimented and corroborated with
one other, only that the general’s report was
more spiteful.
CONTRAST
Jose Montero y Vidal’s VersionUnlike the two,
Izquierdo blamed the unruly Spanish Press for
“stockpiling” malicious propagandas grasped by
the Filipinos. 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 Fathers Burgos and Zamora. The general
even added that the native clergy enticed other
participants by giving them charismatic assurance
that their fight will not fail because God is with
them coupled with handsome promises of
rewards such as employment, wealth, and ranks
in the army. Izquierdo, in his report lambasted
the Indios as gullible and possessed an innate
propensity for stealing.
Gov. Gen Rafael Izquerdo’s version
Like Jose Montero y Vidal’s Version, Izquierdo
scored out that the abolition of privileges
enjoyed by the workers of Cavite arsenal such as
non-payment of tributes and exemption from
force labor were the main reasons of the
“revolution” as how they called it, however,
other causes were enumerated by them including
the Spanish Revolution which overthrew the
secular throne, dirty propagandas proliferated by
unrestrained press, democratic, liberal and
republican books and pamphlets reaching the
Philippines, and most importantly, the presence
of the native clergy who out of animosity against
the Spanish friars, “conspired and supported” the
rebels and enemies of Spain.
Gov. Gen Rafael Izquerdo’s version
Unlike the two, Gov. Izquierdo, he readily
ordered the reinforcement of the Spanish forces
in Cavite to quell the revolt. The “revolution” was
easily crushed when the expected reinforcement
from Manila did not come ashore. Major
instigators including Sergeant Lamadrid were
killed in the skirmish, while the GOMBURZA were
tried by a court-martial and were sentenced to
die by strangulation.
Dr. Trinidad Hermenigildo Pardo de Tavera’s
Version
Like Gov. Gen Rafael Izquerdo’s version and Jose
Montero y Vidal’s Version, Dr. Trinidad
Hermenigildo Pardo de Tavera, a Filipino scholar
and researcher, wrote the Filipino version of the
bloody incident in Cavite. In his point of view, 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.
Dr. Trinidad Hermenigildo Pardo de Tavera’s
Version
Unlike the two, Tavera blamed Gov. Izquierdo’s
cold-blooded policies such as the abolition of
privileges of the workers and native army
members of the arsenal and the prohibition of
the founding of school of arts and trades for the
Filipinos, which the general believed as a cover-
up for the organization of a political club.
CONCLUSION:
Cavite Mutiny, a small revolt of 200 Filipino troops and employees at the Cavite arsenal on January 20,
1872, that served as a pretext for Spanish persecution of the fledgling Philippine nationalist movement.
Ironically, the Spanish government' violent retaliation ultimately aided the nationalist cause. The Filipino
Version of the Incident as a Reaction to Injustice. The commander went on to say that the native clergy
attracted additional volunteers by promising them charismatic certainty that their fight would not fail
because God was on their side, as well as attractive offers of job, wealth, and army levels.
