What could be the reasons for the differences behind the motives of the mutiny?

The reasons for the differences behind the motives of the mutiny is that these three people
are has their own thoughts, perspective, and opinion about the mutiny. And they also have
different readers and audience. Jose Montero y Vidal and Rafael de Izquierdo were
Spaniards while on the other hand Trinidad Pardo de Tavera was a Filipino, there point of
view in the mutiny was vary because it can’t affect their own nationality.

If we put together the unique contributions of each document, what would be the entire story?
Write the narrative.

The Filipino people were living freely and have a peaceful government before the entry of
the new Captain General Rafael Izquierdo. Everything has changed since that point.
Their freedom and rights were removed from them.
The new government canceled the benefits that were delighted in by the
Filipino individuals like being exempted from paying the annual tribute, forced them to polo,
and worst of all denying the instruction which was exceptionally imperative to all of us. As a
result of this inhuman action by the Spanish Government, it has driven the people to
create action and fight the Spaniards. The Spanish thought that they may have a leader. They
thought that these were the native clergies and legal counselors that lead to
the open execution of three clerics Father Jose Burgos, Father Mariano Gomez, and Father
Jacinto Zamora, whereas a long time of detainment was rebuffed by other clerics and legal
counselors. They did this to dread the Filipino individuals that the same thing will happen to
them in case they resist or go against the Spanish Government. But the opposite happened,
the execution caused more will and soul to the individuals to stop and took down
the inhumane government and make a new and fair one.
