    The document summarizes differing Spanish and Filipino accounts of the Cavite Mutiny of 1872. The Spanish accounts portrayed the mutiny as a premeditated attempt to overthrow Spanish rule and install a new "hari". They implicated the native clergy in conspiring with the rebels. The Filipino accounts viewed it as a spontaneous mutiny by soldiers and laborers in response to oppressive policies. This differing interpretation of motivations and scale of the mutiny had long-term impacts, culminating in the Philippine Revolution of 1898.

    A Response
    to Injustice:
    The Filipino
    Version of
    the Incident
    Dr. Trinidad
    Hermenegildo
    Pardo De
    Tavera
    • A Filipino scholar and
    researcher
    • Wrote a Filipino version of
    the bloody incident in
    Cavite.

    the incident was merely a munity by Filpino soldiers


    and the laborers of the Cavite arsenal to the
    dissatisfaction arising from the draconian policies
    of Izquierdo (abolition of privileges and prohibition
    of the founding of the school of arts and trades)
    The Central
    Spanish
    Government
    Was planning to deprive the friars
    of all the powers of intervention in
    matters of civil government and
    direction and management of
    educational institutions.
    An excerpt from

    Pardo de Tavera’s
    Account of the Cavite
    Mutiny
    “…filipino had great hopes of an
    improvement in the affairs of their
    country..”

    “…the friar feared that their power


    in the colony would soon be
    complete a thing of the past..”
    Edmund
    Plauchut

    • A French writer
    • Complemented Tavera’s
    account and analyzed the
    motivation of the 872
    Cavite Mutiny.

    “…the arrival in Manila of Gen. Izquierdo put a


    sudden end to all dreams of reforms
    …such a policy must really end in a strong desire
    on the art of the other to repress cruelly..”
    Differing
    Accounts
    Friars used Cavite mutiny as a part of a larger
    conspiracy to cement their dominances.

    They showcased the mutiny as a part of a Greater


    Conspiracy in the Philippines by the Filipinos to
    overthrow the Spanish Government.

    Unintentionally, it resulted in the martyrdom of


    GOMBURZA.

    And Paved way to the revolution culminating in


    1898
