The Cavite Mutiny
(FIlipino Perspective)
What causes the mutiny
SECONDARY SOURCES
Reynaldo C. Ileto's "The Causes of the Cavite Mutiny of 1872: A Filipino Perspective" .
"The Cavite Mutiny was a complex event with multiple causes. However, at its heart, it was a protest against the abuses of the Spanish colonial government and the native clergy. The Filipino people were demanding reforms, such as exemption from polo y servicio and the right to carry firearms. They were also protesting the abuses of the Spanish officers, who often treated the Filipino people with contempt. And they were protesting the abuses of the native clergy, who were often corrupt and lived lavish lifestyles while the Filipino people struggled in poverty."
Zaide Gregorio's "History of the Philippines"
"The Cavite Mutiny was the result of the deep-seated discontent of the Filipino people against the Spanish colonial government. The Filipinos were resentful of the abuses of the Spanish officials, the corruption of the friars, and the economic hardships they were suffering. The abolition of their privileges, such as exemption from polo y servicio and the right to carry firearms, served as the spark that ignited the mutiny."
John N. Schumacher, S.J. Father José Burgos, Priest and Nationalist.
"The abuses of the Spanish friars, particularly those of the parish priest of Cavite, Mariano Zaldua, were a major cause of the mutiny. Zaldua was known for his cruelty and his demands for excessive fees. He also discriminated against Filipinos and favored Spaniards. His abuses were a source of great resentment among the Filipino soldiers and arsenal workers."

David Steinberg, Zaide Gregorio - Filipino historian: The Cavite Mutiny was the spark that ignited the Philippine Revolution.
Teodoro Agoncillo, Filipino historian: "The Cavite Mutiny was a turning point in Philippine history. It marked the end of the reform movement and the beginning of the revolutionary movement."
The Cavite Mutiny led to a Spanish crackdown on Filipino dissent. Hundreds of Filipinos were arrested and executed, and the government imposed strict restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly. This marked the end of the reform movement and the beginning of the revolutionary movement in the Philippines.

John Schumacher, American historian: "The Cavite Mutiny was a watershed event in Philippine history. It served to radicalize the Filipino people and to convince them that the only way to achieve their goals was through revolution."
Emilio Aguinaldo, first president of the Philippines: "The Cavite Mutiny was a watershed event in Philippine history. It showed us that the Spanish colonial government was oppressive and that we needed to fight for our independence."
The publication of Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo: Jose Rizal was deeply affected by the execution of the GOMBURZA. He wrote Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo as a way to expose the injustices of Spanish colonialism and inspire his countrymen to fight for freedom.
The founding of the Katipunan: Andres Bonifacio, the founder of the Katipunan, saw them as martyrs who had sacrificed their lives for the Filipino people. The Katipunan was a secret society that played a key role in the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
The Philippine Revolution of 1896: It was a direct result of the growing nationalist sentiment in the Philippines. The execution of the GOMBURZA was one of the many events that contributed to this sentiment.
Nature of the mutiny
Acuerdos de la Junta de Oficiales (Agreements of the Board of Officers) by Mariano Alvarez
The mutiny was a protest against the abuses of the Spanish colonial government and the native clergy.
The mutineers had a number of grievances
Del Rosario wrote that the mutineers had no intention of overthrowing Spanish rule. They simply wanted to address their grievances and to be treated with respect.
Memorias de un ex-insurgente (Memoirs of an Ex-Insurgent) by Vicente del Rosario
The mutiny was a spontaneous event that was not planned in advance. The mutineers were simply fed up with the abuses of the Spanish colonial government and the native clergy.
La revolución filipina (The Philippine Revolution) by Apolinario Mabini
the Filipinos were no longer willing to tolerate the abuses of the Spanish colonial government.
the mutiny was not a well-organized event, and that the mutineers did not have a clear plan for what to do after they had taken control of the Cavite arsenal. This lack of planning ultimately led to the failure of the mutiny.
The role of the GOMBURZA
Teodoro Agoncillo's "Revolt of the Masses"
Agoncillo argues that the Spanish colonial government had a motive to fabricate the claim against Burgos. The Spanish colonial government was concerned about the growing Filipino nationalist movement, and they saw Burgos as a leader of this movement. By discrediting and executing Burgos, the Spanish colonial government hoped to weaken the Filipino nationalist movement.

John Schumacher's "The Propaganda Movement: 1880-1895"
The evidence is overwhelming that Jose Burgos was innocent of the charges against him and that he was executed by the Spanish colonial government as a scapegoat for the Cavite Mutiny.
