Study Notes
The 1872 Cavite Mutiny
- The 12th of June is celebrated in the Philippines as Independence Day.
- The 1872 Cavite Mutiny event is significant because it led to the execution of three martyr priests known as GOMBURZA.
- The events of 1872 triggered the awakening of nationalism among Filipinos.
Spanish Perspective
- Spanish historian Jose Montero y Vidal and Governor-General Rafael Izquierdo viewed the Cavite Mutiny as an attempt to overthrow the Spanish government in the Philippines.
- Izquierdo's report emphasized the role of the native clergy in inciting the revolt.
- They attributed the mutiny to the abolition of privileges for workers at Cavite arsenal and the influence of liberal ideas.

- He blamed Governor-General Izquierdo's oppressive policies for the uprising.
- Tavera believed that the Spanish friars and Izquierdo exaggerated the mutiny to strengthen their power and discredit the Filipino clergy.
- The friars feared losing their influence due to reforms introduced by the Spanish government.
