Reaction Paper about the Cavity Mutiny
The rebellion took place in the Philippines during Spanish colonization. It tells the
story of Cavite residents, including laborers and soldiers, who conspired to overthrow
the conquerors. Even though they had very careful planning, the Spaniards ultimately
defeated them. Therefore, the revolt was unsuccessful, and many Filipinos lost their
lives as a result. Following the unsuccessful attempt by the Caviteños to overthrow the
colonizers, other intellectuals from the Philippines were apprehended and put to death
on the grounds that they had ties to the rebels. This led to the public execution of the
GOMBURZA, who the Spanish had identified as the main organizers of the rebellion. A
young Jose Rizal was inspired to write El Felibusterismo after witnessing these three
priests being publicly executed. The Filipino nationalism that resulted in independence
was sparked by the martyrdom of these three priests.
The true cause behind the GOMBURZA’s public execution and treasonous
accusations was initially unknown to me. As of right now, I am aware that they were
charged with being the mutiny’s leaders. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that
Jose Rizal’s inspiration for Philippine nationalism came from the execution of these
three martyr priests. Notwithstanding the fact that the Cavity Mutiny was a bluff, it is
nevertheless regarded as one of the greatest mutinies in Philippine history and served
as the impetus for the country’s eventual independence.
Throughout Philippine history, the Cavite Mutiny served as a catalyst for the
uprising of the Filipino people against their oppressors. However, several horrific deaths
of Filipinos have been attributed to this insurrection, especially those of the
GOMBURZA, who were thought to be its masterminds. The three priests were executed
in public by the Spaniards, and the national hero of the Philippines, Jose Rizal, was
present when the priests were killed as martyrs. This marked the beginning of the
uprising against the conquerors, which was sparked by Jose Rizal’s writings and the
horrific genocides committed during the Cavite Mutiny.
After the mutiny, the Filipinos secretly thrive, slowly gaining the strength and
knowledge to fight back against the invaders. Rizal's work El Felibusterismo reveals the
cruelty of the Spaniards, this art was inspired by the Cavite Mutiny and the
GOMBURZA's martyrdom, which opened the Filipinos' eyes and gave them a glimmer
of hope. Other Filipino leaders such as AndrésAndres Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo,
Ernesto Luna and many others were also part of this revolution. The Cavite Mutiny has
made the greatest contributions to Philippine history since, as a result of the terrible
losses of the Filipino people, there would be no nationalism and no freedom or
independence in the Philippines.
