 What is Cavity Mutiny or
Cavite Mutiny?

of 200 Filipino troops and workers at Cavite
Arsenal.
What is the purpose of the Cavity
Mutiny or Cavite Mutiny?
The Cavite Mutiny was an aim of the 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
at Fort San Felipe, such as exemption from the tribute and forced labor (polo y servicio).
 The
Spanish
Perspective
 Montero and Izquierdo scored out that the abolition
of privileges enjoyed by the workers of Cavite arsenal
such as non-payment of tributes and exemption
from force labor were the main reasons of the
“revolution” as how they called it, however, other
causes were enumerated by them.

turned out to be dissatisfied with the
abolition of their privileges.

January 20, 1872

200 men composed of soldiers, laborers of

the arsenal, and residents of Cavite
headed by Sergeant Lamadrid rose in
arms and assassinated the commanding
officer and Spanish officers in sight.
 What did Pardo de Tavera

 Edmund Plauchut

by confirming that the event happened due to
discontentment of the arsenal workers and soldiers

laborers in the engineering and artillery corps in the
Cavite arsenal, and requiring them to perform
forced labor like ordinary subjects
