INTRODUCTION OF CONTREVERSY Filipino Version In 1872, two major events happened that led to a great tragedy and awakening of nationalism among the Filipino people. The first one is the Cavite Mutiny which contributed to the Filipino military insurgence of the Spanish weaponry in Cavite, mainly on Fort San Felipe. The second one, the persecution of the three martyr priests or what we have known as Fathers Mariano Gomes, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora, or simply put, GOMBURZA. Nonetheless, not everyone has the knowledge about the different accounts in reference to the aforementioned occurrence. As told and as heard, each story has at any rate two points to consider; and each point or side of the story has its own conflicts, merits, or claims. Some predispositions and biases might be observable — yet they are certainly unavoidable, as they structure part of the impediments of the one who is recounting the story. Spanish Version A Spanish Historian who authored the book, ‘Historia General de Filipinas’ or the Cavite Mutiny of 1872’s Spanish version, Jose Montero y Vidal was able to tell the said Cavite episode. Although he talks as a Spaniard bet on distorting current realities at his pleasure and is naughtily halfway, according to his Spanish version of these events, there was indeed an exaggeration on a couple of displeased local soldiers and workers into a revolt to oust the Spanish guideline, in spite of unsupported by narrative proof. He was also able to decipher that the Cavite rebellion was an endeavor to eliminate and topple the Spanish Colonizers in the Philippines. His record, too, confirmed with the ones of Lead representative — General Rafael Izquidero y Gutierrez, the lead representative general of the Philippine Islands during the Revolt. They referenced that the rebellion was controlled by a gathering of local pastorate. Following General Rafael Izquidero y Gutierrez’ account, he then demanded that the mentioned insurrection is invigorated and arranged by the local church, mestizos and legal counselors as a sign of protest against the treacheries of the public authority, for example given, not paying regions for tobacco crops, offer recognition and delivering of forced work (polo y servicio). Although it was clear that it is not unmistakably recognized if Indios intended to initiate a government since they did not have a word in their own language to portray this distinctive type of government, whose pioneer in Filipino would be designated “hari”. Notwithstanding, what worked out is that they would set a cleric at the preeminent of the public authority, which the pioneer chose would be Jose Burgos or Jacinto Zamora — and it is the arrangement of the renegades who guided them, and the methods they tallied upon its acknowledgment
SIDE AND/OR EVIDENCE OF THE CONTREVERSY Filipino Version
The Cavite mutiny of 1872 was an uprising of Filipino military personnel of Fort San Felipe, the Spanish arsenal in Cavite, Philippine Islands on 20 January 1872. Around 200 locally recruited colonial troops and laborers rose up in the belief that it would elevate to a national uprising
Gomez fought for the rights of his fellow native priests against Spanish abuses. On 17 February 1872, he was one of the priests executed due to the false accusations of treason and sedition, taking a supposed active role in the Cavite Mutiny. He was later on sentenced to death by garrote in a military court at Bagumbayan field. In fact, the GOMBURZA were executed, their words before their death fueled and inspired the Filipinos to retaliate against the Spanish administration. Moreover, as the Spaniards continue their speculations about plans of revolution, it was then being broadcasted by media and it somehow gave a hint to Filipinos that there is an upcoming revolution.
Spanish Version 1872 Cavite Mutiny: Spanish Perspective
THE SPANISH ACCOUNTS OF THE CAVITE MUTINY The documentation of Spanish historian Jose Montero y Vidal centered on how the event was event was an attempt in overthrowing the Spanish government in the Philippines. Although regarded as a historian, his account of the mutiny was criticized as woefully biased and rabid for a scholar, Woefully-in a manner expressing sorrow or misery. Another account from the official report written by the Governor General Rafael Izquierdo implicated the native clergy, who were then active in the movement toward secularization of parishes. These two accounts corroborated each other. NOTE: Clergy-the body of all people ordained for religious duties, especially in the Christian Church, but usually involve presiding over specific rituals and teaching their religion's doctrines and practices. Corroborated- confirm or give support to (a statement, theory, or finding). Rabid-having or proceeding from an extreme or fanatical support of or belief in something. Secularization: to make secular separate from religious or spiritual connection or influences; make worldly or unspiritual; imbue with secularism. -to change (clergy) from regular to secular. -to transfer (property) from ecclesiastical to civil possession or use. PRIMARY SOURCE: EXCERPT FROM MONTERO’S ACCOUNT OF THE CAVITE MUTINY Source: Jose Montero y Vidal, “Spanish Version of the Cavite Mutiny of 1872”in Gregorio Zaide and Sonia’s aide, Documentary Sources of Philippine History, Volume 7 (Manila: National Book Store, 1990), 269.
Evidence The Cavite mutiny of 1872 was an uprising of Filipino military personnel of Fort San Felipe, the Spanish arsenal in Cavite, Philippine Islands (then also known as part of the Spanish East Indies) on 20 January 1872. Around 200 locally recruited colonial troops and laborers rose up in the belief that it would elevate to a national uprising. The mutiny was unsuccessful, and government soldiers executed many of the participants and began to crack down on a burgeoning Philippines nationalist movement. Many scholars believed that the Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was the beginning of Filipino nationalism that would eventually lead to the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
THE STAND POSITIVE STAND Filipino Side The details about Gomburza's execution is written on the marker. The 1872 Cavite Mutiny was one of the main causes of Philippine Revolution in 1896. The connection between the Gomburza and Philippine Revolution is the Gomburza is the reason why Rizal wake up to the truth that they need to change the way of leadership of Spanish. When Dr. Jose Rizal was a kid, he saw the 3 fraile (Padre Gomez, Padre Burgos and Padre Zamora) executed by hanging in front of lot of Filipino. Remember that one of the personalities of Philippine Revolution came from Dr. Jose Rizal and He dedicated his second novel, El Filibusterismo to Gomburza.
Spanish Side The Spanish view, the revolution of native Filipino is not just because of the loss of privilege, the native Filipino workers want to overthrow the Spanish rule and install the a new “hari” like what Father Burgos and Father Zamora. Izquierdo blamed the unruly Spanish Press for “stockpiling” malicious propagandas grasped by the Filipinos. The Cavite Mutiny was planned to revolt and the loss of privilege is according to their plan.
NEGATIVE STAND Filipino Side: Cavite Mutiny has been done by the Spanish Government. Cavite Mutiny was been created because of Spanish government they removed the benefits and privileges who work at the Cavite mutiny. Filipinos was being forced to work, they are now angry and they revolted against the Spaniards that was on the arsenal. To make the story short, they were mistreated and experience cruelty and removed their adversity and privilege at it was led to revolt or revolution. It’s the opposite of the Spanish side. They either saying the truth or they say this for being look miserable. Spanish Side: The Governor General of the Spanish says that he already knows that Filipino’s are going to revolt and he says that this revolt is not accident because they wanted or they planned to knock down the Spanish government. It also says by the head of the Spanish Government, they made a contradiction that they kill the Filipino’s who are the member of Cavite Mutiny, the head of the Cavite Mutiny who are in the family of rich was cast into different areas outside the Philippines and the left people were killed. The negative stand here was Spanish was victim blame the Filipinos for their doings they do this for their safety.
FINAL STAND The Filipino version must be true and the Spanish version is just an expectation or rumors. The Spanish government had a suspicious on Filipino worker. Maybe because they’re expecting a revolution from Filipino because they forcing them to labor in arsenal. When they remove the privilege of the Filipino workers the Mutiny sparked and that what the expectation of Governor Rafael de Izquierdo. We should know who to be with, because it is not nice if we are going to be bias on specific stand and it won't be equal. For us, we would love to observed where we were going on between the two side. Spanish side are more likely to know that Filipinos are going to revolt, where in Filipinos are been mistreated by Spaniards and start a revolt.
