Study Notes

The Cavite Mutiny

  • The Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was a significant event in Philippine history, as it played a crucial role in sparking the Philippine Revolution of 1896.

  • The mutiny was an uprising by Filipino soldiers and laborers at the Cavite arsenal, against the Spanish colonial authorities.

  • The uprising was prompted by discontent over the abolition of certain privileges and the prohibition of the founding of a school of arts and trades.

  • The mutiny was unsuccessful. Spanish forces quickly crushed the uprising, leading to the execution of many participants.

  • The mutiny was also linked to the martyrdom of three Filipino priests: Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora (GOMBURZA).

  • The Spanish authorities accused GOMBURZA of being the masterminds of the mutiny, despite scant evidence, and used it as an opportunity to suppress the growing secularization movement among Filipino priests.

  • The execution of GOMBURZA served as a powerful symbol of the Spanish government's brutality and repression.

  • The event sparked outrage among the Filipino population and contributed to the growing calls for independence.

Accounts of The Cavite Mutiny

  • Two main accounts of the mutiny exist: a Filipino perspective and a Spanish perspective.

  • Filipino perspective:

    • The Cavite Mutiny is characterized as a rebellion against Spanish authority.
    • Dr. Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, a Filipino scholar, argues that the incident was a mutiny motivated by the dissatisfaction of Filipino soldiers and laborers due to the oppressive policies of Governor General Rafael Izquierdo.
  • Spanish perspective:

    • The Cavite Mutiny is viewed as a premeditated attempt to overthrow the Spanish government.
    • Spanish accounts underscore the reasons for the uprising, including the abolition of privileges enjoyed by Cavite arsenal workers, and the presence of a native clergy who allegedly supported the rebellion.
    • Jose Montero y Vidal's documentation highlights the attempt of "Indios" to overthrow Spain, and Governor General Izquierdo's official report uses the mutiny to implicate the native clergy in a conspiracy.
  • Both perspectives:

    • The Spanish government used the Cavite Mutiny to justify their actions, portraying Filipino priests as conspirators and blaming the native clergy for the rebellion.
  • The Events of January 20th, 1872

    • The Spanish account claims that around 200 soldiers, led by Sergeant Lamadrid, attacked Spanish officers and seized the arsenal.
    • When the Spanish forces in Manila failed to arrive in time to quell the rebellion, the mutiny was easily crushed.

GOMBURZA

  • Fathers Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora were charged with treason and sedition for their suspected role in the Cavite Mutiny.
  • Although the link between GOMBURZA and the mutiny was tenuous, the Spanish clergy used the incident to weaken the secularization movement.
  • The priests were executed by garrote on February 17, 1872, in a public execution intended to deter future uprisings.
  • Witnessing this event left a profound impact on Jose Rizal, who would later become a prominent figure in the Philippine Revolution.

The Cry of Rebellion

  • The "Cry of Rebellion" marks the start of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule in August 1896
  • The exact date and location of the Cry are debated among historians, but it occurred in the general area northeast of Manila

Key Historical Figures and Events

  • Teodoro Agoncillo believes the Cry occurred when Andres Bonifacio tore a cedula (tax receipt) before the Katipuneros
  • Emilio Aguinaldo commissioned the "Himno de Balintawak" after the Pact of the Biak-na-Bato failed, inspiring a renewed fight
  • Guillermo Magsangkay reports a meeting of Katipunan leaders on August 26 at the house of Apolonio Samson in Balintawak
  • Pio Valenzuela recounts a gathering of 500 Katipuneros in the house and yard of Apolonio Samson at Kangkong on August 22

Controversy Over the Cry's Location and Date

  • There is disagreement among historical witnesses about the time and place of the Cry
  • Four locations are identified: Balintawak, Kangkong, Pugad Lawin, and Bahay Toro
  • Dates range from August 23 to 26, 1896
  • Valenzuela's accounts are to be read with caution, as he provided differing reports
