• Cavite Mutiny, (January 20, 1872), brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and workers at the Cavite arsenal, which became
the excuse for Spanish repression of the embryonic Philippine nationalist movement. Ironically, the harsh reaction of the
Spanish authorities served ultimately to promote the nationalist cause. The Cavite Mutiny is an aim of natives to get rid of the
Spanish government in the Philippines, due to the removal of privileges enjoyed by the laborers of the Cavite arsenal such as
exemption from the tribute and forced labor. Yes, they truly explain on what happen during that period. Further than, the mutiny
was quickly crushed, but the Spanish regime under the reactionary governor Rafael de magnified the incident and used it as
an excuse to clamp down on those Filipinos who had been calling for governmental reform. A number of Filipino intellectuals
were seized and accused of complicity with the mutineers. After a brief trial, three priests—José Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and
Mariano Gómez—were publicly executed. The three subsequently became martyrs to the cause of Philippine independence.
• For me is on Tavera's account because he used the Filipino version that had a great cause to all. As a Filipino it is honored
that he creates one version for Filipino that I definitely want to say that he is very proud of being a Filipino in spite of tragic
events or on what happen there from the colonizer. Nearby, the two accounts it is also great cause, these two accounts have
the same legacy. Has the same content of accounts. I agree with Tavera's account because he clearly explain on what during
that period of time. Unlike to Vidal because he just only interpreted agree what Izquierdo state, I would like to say that he’s
biased on others.
• If I read the other historian account, I would choose to read the account that has a strong evidence that made myself believing
of what I’ve reading. And give me a widen interpretation and knowledge that I could share to my ancestors. It explains the
arguments in that account and the challenges that account has. And gave some instances that prove their documents like
some of artifacts and evidence.
• It may serve us, as a primary source of what happened on their time. and for us to acknowledge what happen on the last
period of time on today’s happening. It is well to remember that the seeds of nationalism that was sown in Cavite blossomed
to the Philippine Revolution and later to the declaration of independence by Emilio Aguinaldo which took place also in Cavite.
As for me, the 1872 Cavite Mutiny bolstered the stereotypical belief that Caviteños were the most courageous of my fellow
Filipinos
