What if Cavite Mutiny did not happen?

We all aim for Our Independence, if Cavite Mutiny did not happen; maybe we are still under the Spanish
regime. Maybe most Filipinos still haven't felt the freedom and their rights. Cavite Mutiny had taken lives
of our fellow Filipinos but leads us to the awakening of nationalism. False information had cause
disorganization and conflict and eventually, death, so this might be avoided if the report were more truth.
There are workers that were deprived of their privileges to non-payment of tributes, and forced labor.
Therefore, the 1872 Cavite Mutiny had caused a skirmish due to the abolition of the privileges of
workers. The convicted educated men who participated in the mutiny were sentenced life imprisonment
while members of the native clergy headed by the GOMBURZA were executed. This episode leads to the
awakening of nationalism and eventually to the outbreak of Philippine Revolution of 1896.

In achieving our independence was very hard and tough, many Filipinos sacrifice their lives to attain and
achieve our Independence .Independence day which is June 12,1896 might be a glorious event for us if
Cavity mutiny did not happen. We must never forget those Filipinos who shed their lives just to let us feel
the freedom. We must treasure the freedom and never forget the past and reason why we have are
freedom.
