    THE TWO FACES OF THE 1872 CAVITE MUTINY


    June 12 of every year since 1898 is a very important event for all Filipinos. Starting from this day, the
    entire Filipino nation and Filipino communities all over the world gathers to celebrate the Philippines’
    Independence Day. These are some of the most important events in our history, but we should also be
    reminded of the two events that started everything. The Two major events happened in 1872, the
    cavite mutiny and the martyrdom of the three martyr priests (GOMBURZA). These events lead to the
    uprising of the filipino nation to fight against the Spanish government.
    However, we should take into account the different sides of the story since this events lead to a tragic
    yet meaningful part of our history.
    1872 Cavite Mutiny: Spanish Perspective
    Jose Montero y Vidal, Spanish historian d highlighted the event as an attempt to overthrow the
    Spanish government in the Philippines. Gov. Gen. Rafael Izquierdo’s report manipulated the event
    and made use of it to implicate the native clergy which was also active in the call for secularization.
    The two Spaniards deemed that these events of 1872 was planned way earlier and was thought of as a
    big conspiracy. On February 17 1872 the Spanish government and Frailocracia attempted to instill
    fear among the Filipinos so that they may never commit such acts again, the GOMBURZA were
    executed.
    1872 Cavite Mutiny: Filipino Perspective
    “A response to injustice”
    For us Filipino people, the 1872 Cavite Mutiny is an act of heroism and a sense of justice showing
    that we should not be treated harshly. The native Filipino soldiers and laborers of Cavite arsenal who
    turned out to be dissatisfied with the abolition of their privileges and the increase in their taxes
    responded by organizing a mutiny against the Spanish government. It is believed that the Spanish
    friars and Izquierdo used the Cavite Mutiny as a lever by magnifying the event into a full-blown
    conspiracy, involving not only the native workers and army but also the residents of Cavite and
    Manila.

    For me, the cavite mutiny is not a conspiracy to overthrow the government rather it is an act to stop
    the cruel treatments of the Spanish government. They tried to instill fear in our hearts by committing
    heinous crimes but instead it only fueled us to fight for what is right and claim our independence.
