have our prayer and have the presence of
our almighty to bless our day
our presentation for today will be
tackling about cavite mutiny or ampaga
and some of the first-hand and

the event kavita mutiny happened
at the end of this discussion

analyze the context content and
perspective of different kinds of
primary sources
determine the contribution of different
kinds of primary sources
in understanding philippine history
develop critical and analytical skills
with exposure to primary sources
and
demonstrate the ability to formulate
arguments in favor or against a
particular issue using primary sources
let us now proceed to the discussion
many historians said that the cavite
mutiny of 1872 is one of the catalysts
of the momentous 1898 revolution
it is said that there will be no 1896 or
philippine revolution if there was no
1872 cavite mutiny
so what happened on year 1872
what was the cavite mutiny there are two
major happenings on year 1872
the cavite mutiny
and the martyrdom of the three priests
in the presence of
father mariano gomez
jose borgos
and hasinto zamura
or the gomborza fathers
so
kaviti mithini was known as
one past but many histories
this is primarily because of the two
versions
of the event the spanish version and the
filipino version the spanish version
believed that the cavite mutiny was
premeditated and a big conspiracy among
educated leaders
mestizos
lawyers
and residents of manila and cavite
they allegedly plan to liquidate
high-ranking spanish officers
then kill friars
however
in filipino version
the incident was merely a mutiny by
filipino soldiers and laborers of the
cavity arsenal to the dissatisfaction
arising from the draconian policies of
escuerdo such as the abolition of
privileges
and prohibition of the founding of the
school of arts and trades
whatever happened back then
even having two versions
one thing was for sure
the january 20 1872 cavite mutiny was
unsuccessful
and government soldiers executed many of
the participants this includes the
gumborza fathers
this is because the three martyred
priests was tagged as the masterminds of
the mutiny in cavite the spanish clergy
connected the priests to the mutiny as
part of the conspiracy to stifle the
movement of secular priests who desired
to have their own parishes instead of
being assistance to the regular firearms
they were sentenced
put into trials
and garroted
publicly on february 17 1872 the
execution was served as a threat to
filipinos to never attempt to fight the
spaniards again also
the scene was purportedly witness
by a young jose rizal now that you
understand the 1872 major events
especially the cavity mutiny
we would like to mention or discuss to
you the accounts of some individuals
that contributed
their experiences or understandings to
the mutiny of year 1872 in cavite
[Music]
a prolific spanish historian documented
the event and highlighted it as an
attempt of the angels to over to the
spanish government in the philippines
montero squared out that the abolition
of privileges enjoyed british workers of
cavity arsenal such as nonpayment of
tributes an exemption from the forest
labor were the main reasons of
revolution as how they called it however
other causes were enumerated by them
including the spanish revolution which
over to the secular throne dirty
propagandas and proliferated by
unrestrained press democratic liberal
and republican books and pamphlets
reaching the philippines and the most
importantly the presence of the native
clergy
who out of animosity against the spanish
friars conspired and supported the
rebels and enemies of spain briefly his
account embodies the official
interpretation of the mutiny and cavity
as part of the general revolt directed
by the three press underlay and clerical
colleagues in manila and committed
having as its aim and destination of the
governor general and the general
massacre of all spaniards
edmund plushit a frenchman residing in
manila at the time of the revolt gives a
dispassionate account of the event and
its causes in an article published in
the french literary magazine revenue
this damn mundus in 1877.
his account indignantly or sarcastically
denied various allegations of monteros
but complemented tavares account by
confirming that the event happened due
to governor general rafael escuero
egocera's exacting of personal taxes
from the soldiers and workers as well as
his imposition of forced labor and then
which results to the discontentment of
workers and soldiers in cavity fourth
on 20th of january 1872 the day of the
mutiny the workers received their
salaries and were surprised and injured
at the same time due to the deductions
of trip but
and payments in lieu of forced labor
from their salaries they started the
mutiny right away but it was crushed as
soon as it started because of a lack of
coordination between the mutiners
his account also implied the incense of
the three press as to any part of the
mutiny dr trinidad hermenegildo pardo de
tavera
is the filipino scholar and the
researcher who wrote the filipino
version of the bt bloodbath accounts of
was written for the official report of
the census of
1903 as part of the general survey of
philippine history
so there is also an incident probability
that trinidad have had data knowledge of
the
1872 event because of his uncle
joaquin pardo de tavera
but there is a little evidence shown in
his account
so according to him the incident was
merely a mutiny by native filipino
soldier and laborers at the cavity
arsenal who were dissatisfied with the
loss of their privileges so tabara and
directly blame governor is there those
cold-blooded policies
the vera believed that the spanish
friars and scardo used the cavity mutiny
as a powerful liver to wear to overthrow
the spanish government in the
philippines tavera confirmed that the
madrid government came to believe that
the scheme as a true without making any
attempt to
investigate the true facts or the scope
of the ally revolution reported by the
skurdu and the priors another secondhand
accounts are the two documents which
remains unpublished the two documents
were written by father agupita chigoyan
are coletto along with father antonio
perinavia was an augustinian both of
them were taking prisoners by
revolutionary forces in cavite in 1896
both of their documents admits to the
condems a variety of crimes and abuses
allegedly committed to the friars
beginning with a perk just prior to the
cavity mutiny there comes both a green
attribute in the execution of the three
priests
to fire intrigues father gabrity
chugoyan returned to the philippines a
few months later claiming that this
account was given to him by a fellow
friar
father cypriano navarro
the account of richikuyan claimed that
the heads of the forest orders me to
discuss how to get rid of the burgers
and other native clergy leader and they
decided to implicate them in a seditious
plot father antonio perinovia's account
on the other hand attributes the deeds
of father claudio del arcello whom he
does not identify further but who was a
recollect of paris priest in santa cruz
zambales
according to him father claudio del
arcello disguised as father burgos went
to cavity to spread the idea of the
pricing brittany was put down put
pressure in the governor general through
his secretary and the lady with a lot of
cloth as well as a gift of 40 000 pesos
