The events that took place as stated- the death of GomBurZa, the persecution It was on January 20, 1872, when a group of of his mother and the injustices committed by the mutineers rose arms in one of the shipyards in friars in Calamba’s tenancy were the trigger points Cavite (believed to be in Fort San Felipe) wherein of young Jose to fight the Spaniards up to his last they instigated the beginning of a rising revolution breath which ended at the Luneta execution. which was led by Sgt. La Madrid. The main cause of mutiny probably was due to “polo y servicios” or forced labor and “buiz” or taxes. In the latter days, all 200 soldiers were tried, executed and some were banished to Mindanao island. Some of the A P P L I C A T I O N supporters were also tried and executed by the Spanish authorities. The event was to suppress “secularization” which was voiced out by the Filipino priests at that time. Direction: On a sheet of paper, answer the following questions.

According to the late historian,Teodoro Agoncillo the year 1872 was the “beginning of Philippine History, that the real history was written by nationalists. On the other hand, Schumacher (1997) described the manipulation of the Spaniards of the parishes that were fighting for Filipinization by some Filipino priests; among them were GomBurZa. Injustices to Rizal’s Mother Another challenge for Rizal was when his mother, Dona Teodora together with Senor Alberto, were accused by the latter’s wife of connivance to poison her. As a result of the “hearsay” from Senor Alberto’s wife, Dona Teodora was arrested. Though the mayor forced her to admit her guilt, she did not do so and so she was imprisoned for almost 2 years. After reaching the Real Audiencia (the Spanish Supreme Court), the ease was dismissed so Dona Teodora was released from prison. Unfortunately, the Rizal family were deeply hurt and the damage done was very hard to accept. Rizal and his “Disillusionment” The events of 1872 where the triumvirate martyrs were executed in Luneta by “garrote” have opened the eyes of many leading to a “political turmoil”.

History can also be repeated in the same person, event and place. Documents are one of the reliable sources of history according to Teodoro Agoncillo. Therefore, the sources of history are primary and secondary. History has two dimensions namely: Geographical and Chronological. Therefore, the study of history gives a wide range of thoughts wherein the past links the present and the future sequence of events. Discussed in this module is the relevance of RA No. 1425 or the Rizal Law which emphasizes the relevance of the law to foster Filipino Nationalism. The module also described the 19th Century Philippines. In politics, the centralized government was introduced where the Governor-General had the sole power to executive, legislative, and judicial power. In economics, the Philippines adopted the ‘encomienda system’ as its economic policy. Moreover, friar corporations enriched themselves especially the landlords. The social atmosphere was based on the social stratification from the principals to the lowest indios. We also discussed the early childhood of Rizal, his first education from his mother. Rizal’s childhood is the same as that of ordinary children. His education in Binan as well as his tutorial education prepared him for his studies at the Ateneo Municipal. Rizal excelled his formal schooling at the Ateneo Municipal. He also observed well the ateneans treated Filipino students that time which was a lot better than the Thomasian training. While schooling in Ateneo, he was beset by problems and agonies like the injustice done to his mother and the 1872 execution of the famous GomBurZa because they were accused of conspiracy in the Cavite Mutiny. Rizal’s success in Ateneo became one of the main achievement of his life.
