1872 CAVITE MUTINY
SPANISH VERSION
IMPORTANT TO KNOW!
• THE 12TH OF JUNE OF EVERY YEAR SINCE 1898 IS A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT FOR ALL THE FILIPINOS. IN THIS PARTICULAR
DAY, THE ENTIRE FILIPINO NATION AS WELL AS FILIPINO COMMUNITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD GATHERS TO CELEBRATE
THE PHILIPPINES’ INDEPENDENCE DAY. 1898 CAME TO BE A VERY SIGNIFICANT YEAR FOR ALL OF US— IT IS AS EQUALLY
IMPORTANT AS 1896—THE YEAR WHEN THE CAVITE MUTINY HAPPENED.

MARIANO GOMES, JOSE BURGOS AND JACINTO ZAMORA.
• IZQUIERDO -GOVERNOR GENERAL OF THE PHIL. BACKADAYS.

• SPANISH VERSION
PERSPECTIVE
• JOSE MONTERO Y VIDAL, A PROLIFIC SPANISH HISTORIAN DOCUMENTED THE EVENT AND HIGHLIGHTED IT AS AN ATTEMPT OF THE INDIOS TO
OVERTHROW THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES. MEANWHILE, GOV. GEN. RAFAEL IZQUIERDO’S OFFICIAL REPORT MAGNIFIED
THE EVENT AND MADE USE OF IT TO IMPLICATE THE NATIVE CLERGY, WHICH WAS THEN ACTIVE IN THE CALL FOR SECULARIZATION. THE
TWO ACCOUNTS COMPLIMENTED AND CORROBORATED WITH ONE OTHER, ONLY THAT THE GENERAL’S REPORT WAS MORE SPITEFUL.
INITIALLY, BOTH MONTERO AND 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. IN PARTICULAR, 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.
• THE TWO SPANIARDS (JOSE MONTERO Y VIDAL & RAFAEL IZQUIERDO) DEEMED THAT THE EVENT OF 1872 WAS PLANNED EARLIER AND
WAS THOUGHT OF IT AS A BIG CONSPIRACY AMONG EDUCATED LEADERS, MESTIZOS, ABOGADILLOS OR NATIVE LAWYERS, RESIDENTS OF
MANILA AND CAVITE AND THE NATIVE CLERGY. THEY INSINUATED THAT THE CONSPIRATORS OF MANILA AND CAVITE PLANNED TO
LIQUIDATE HIGH-RANKING SPANISH OFFICERS TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE MASSACRE OF THE FRIARS. THE ALLEGED PRE-CONCERTED SIGNAL
AMONG THE CONSPIRATORS OF MANILA AND CAVITE WAS THE FIRING OF ROCKETS FROM THE WALLS OF INTRAMUROS.
• ACCORDING TO THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TWO, ON 20 JANUARY 1872, THE DISTRICT OF SAMPALOC CELEBRATED THE FEAST OF THE
VIRGIN OF LORETO, UNFORTUNATELY PARTICIPANTS TO THE FEAST CELEBRATED THE OCCASION WITH THE USUAL FIREWORKS
DISPLAYS. ALLEGEDLY, THOSE IN CAVITE MISTOOK THE FIREWORKS AS THE SIGN FOR THE ATTACK, AND JUST LIKE WHAT WAS AGREED
UPON, THE 200-MEN CONTINGENT HEADED BY SERGEANT LAMADRID LAUNCHED AN ATTACK TARGETING SPANISH OFFICERS AT SIGHT
AND SEIZED THE ARSENAL.
• WHEN THE NEWS REACHED THE IRON-FISTED 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. PATRIOTS LIKE JOAQUIN PARDO DE
TAVERA, ANTONIO MA. REGIDOR, JOSE AND PIO BASA AND OTHER ABOGADILLOS WERE SUSPENDED BY THE AUDENCIA (HIGH COURT)
FROM THE PRACTICE OF LAW, ARRESTED AND WERE SENTENCED WITH LIFE IMPRISONMENT AT THE MARIANAS ISLAND.
FURTHERMORE, GOV. IZQUIERDO DISSOLVED THE NATIVE REGIMENTS OF ARTILLERY AND ORDERED THE CREATION OF ARTILLERY
FORCE TO BE COMPOSED EXCLUSIVELY OF THE PENINSULARES.
• ON 17 FEBRUARY 1872 IN AN ATTEMPT OF THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT AND FRAILOCRACIA TO INSTILL FEAR AMONG THE FILIPINOS
SO THAT THEY MAY NEVER COMMIT SUCH DARING ACT AGAIN, THE GOMBURZA WERE EXECUTED. THIS EVENT WAS TRAGIC BUT
SERVED AS ONE OF THE MOVING FORCES THAT SHAPED FILIPINO NATIONALISM.
WE CONCLUDE (AS SPANISH VERSION)
• AN ATTEMPT OF THE INDIOS AND THOSE LIBERAL THINKERS OF FILIPINO AND

THE FILIPINO CLERGIES IS TO OVERTHOW THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
