    Cavite Mutiny of 1872 as Told in Two Ways

    As told and as heard, every story has at least two angles to consider. Each angle or
    side of the story has its own contentions, merits, or claims. Biases and prejudices
    may be noticeable but they are undeniably inevitable as they form part of the
    limitations of the one telling the story. To limit distortion, exaggeration or
    perversion of facts, the need to expose oneself to differing versions of any event
    is a necessary step in historical analysis in forming up with an informed
    historical consciousness. One historical issue worth visiting Philippine history is
    the Cavite Mutiny of 1872. The increasing interest given to historical events has
    triggered the call to unearth historical data, documents which are of great value
    mainly because of their proximity to the time and place the event happened, and
    the credibility of the one telling the account. has been enticing people in the
    academe to change the way learning history from simple gathering or
    accumulating of basic historical facts which commonly answered the questions on
    “who”, “when” and “where” and learning its historical details responding
    exclusively to the “how” questions to historical analysis which enables any learner
    or historian-to-be to answer the primordial question of the “why”.
    The Cavite Mutiny of 1872 has two extant versions coming from two opposing
    camps namely:
    Spanish version and Filipino version.
    The Spanish version of Cavite Mutiny of 1872 is narrated by Jose Montero y Vidal.
    His account anchored on the thesis that the fateful event of the 2oth of January
    1872 happens due to the concerted effort of disgruntled native soldiers and
    laborers of Cavite arsenal who willfully revolted to overthrow the Spanish rule,
    and thus, guilty of rebellion and sedition. By such acts, the execution of
    prominent critics of the Spaniards and friars by the Spanish officials are justified,
    and the sentence of life imprisonment and deportation of some natives critical of
    their incongruous rule is unquestionably legit if not morally blurred. The account
    of Jose Montero y Vidal was even made credibly possible by no less than Rafael
    de Izquierdo, the governor-general of the time when the revolt of 1872
    happened.
    The Filipino version is told by Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera. For him, the so-called
    Cavite Mutiny is a mere incident of mutiny orchestrated by native soldiers and
    laborers who reacted to the harsh policy of the new governor-general, Rafael de
    Izquierdo, who whimsically terminated the old-time privileges such as exempting
    them from paying annual tribute and from rendering forced labor or polo. As
    accounted, it is made clear that the mutiny is blown-up by the Spanish officials
    and friars into a revolt as a way for Filipinos to gain independence from Spanish
    monarchy.
