1872

Cavite Mutiny, (January 20,

1872) a rebellion by 200 Filipino
soldiers and workers at the Cavite
arsenal, was used as justification by
the Spanish to suppress the fledgling
nationalist movement in the
Philippines. Ironically, the aggressive
response of the Spanish government
ultimately helped to advance the
nationalist cause.

Cause Effect

According to him, the incident was
merely a mutiny by the Cavite arsenal's
native Filipino soldiers and laborers against
the harsh policy of despotic Governor and
Captain-General Rafael de Izquierdo.
The reason for instigating the
mutiny was abolishment of their old-time
privileges of exemption from paying the
annual tribute and rendering the polo y
servicio (forced labor). Soldiers and laborers
naturally resented the loss of these
advantages.

principles, the publication of democratic and republic
books and pamphlets, the speeches and preaching of
apostles of these new ideas, the outbursts of American
publicists, and the criminal policy of the Governor gave
rise to the idea of Filipino independence. This was
achieved with the help of the native clergy, who made
common cause with the enemies of the mother country.
 CAVITE MUTINY

SPANISH PERSPECTIVE
Official Report of Gov. General Rafael Izquierdo: Significantly, he
describes the military mutiny as "insurrection", an "uprising", and a
"revolution".

CAUSE
To carry out their illegal project, the
instigators denounced the government's injustice in not
paying the provinces for their tobacco harvest, as well as
the usury that some (officials) conduct in (handling)
documents that the Finance department supplies crop
owners who had to sell them at a loss. They aided the
insurrection by opposing what they saw as the injustice of
requiring workers in the Cavite arsenal to pay tribute and
do personal service, both of which they had previously
been exempted.
EFFECT
Except for the women, all Spaniards, including
friars, would be executed and their property taken.
Foreigners would be treated with dignity. According to
Izquierdo, the "revolt" was aimed at overturning the
Spanish government with the ultimate goal of installing a
new "hari," with a priest at the helm of the government in
the form of Father Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora,
parish priests of San Pedro. of Manila.
 WHICH IS WHICH?
Tavera's version of events is often cited
and considered by many historians to be
credible due to the following reasons:

• Tavera's version of the Cavite Mutiny

was based on primary sources.

• Emphasized the social, economic, and

political factors that led to the mutiny.
(Not bias)

• Inclusive view of Philippine history.

IS CAVITE MUTINY A SUCCESS?
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 intellectuals were seized
and accused of complicity with the
mutineers.

requiring the Engineering and Artillery
Corps soldiers to pay personal taxes
when they had previously been
exempt. A mutiny broke out on
January 20 when the laborers
discovered that their taxes and the
falla, the fine they had to pay to be
exempt from forced labor, had been
deducted from their paychecks. The
taxes required them to pay a monetary
amount as well as to perform forced
labor known as "polo y servicio."

Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and
REVOLUTION Jacinto Zamora, better known for the
acronym GOMBURZA, were executed by
garrote by the Spaniards in Bagumbayan
in connection with the 1872 Cavite
Mutiny. For spearheading the movement
against the abusive Spanish friars, the
three priests aroused the hatred of the
Spanish government. They fought on
unresolved issues about secularization in
the Philippines. Their execution left a
profound effect on many Filipinos,
including Dr. Jose Rizal, the national hero,
who dedicated his novel El Filibusterismo
to their memory.

JOSE RIZAL
Jose Rizal felt the passion and desire to implement
reforms and attain equality for the Filipino people.
With the injustices he had witnessed, he felt the need
to avenge the death of those who sacrificed their
lives for reform. This inspired him to write El
Filibusterismo. Later, additional Filipinos will read
Rizal's account, inspiring them to defend their
country against foreign invaders and fight for their
rights. Filipinos began to doubt the government and
to call for reform.

In relation to the 1896 revolution, Rizal
is the primary cause of the revolution.
REVOLUTION
The Gomburza is honored in the El
filibusterismo. Rizal will also become a
church priest if there is no GOMBURZA.
Without Rizal, it would be impossible to
write The Noli me Tangere and El
filibusterismo. Numerous Filipinos who
agreed with these nobles joined the
revolution. Andres Bonifacio is one of
them. Without the Cavite Mutiny, Rizal
would not have been able to lead the
Philippine Revolution and the
GOMBURZA would not be executed.
