Moral lessons from the historical event

Prepared by:

Ms. Mae Anne Silagan

 Facing an outrageous injustice from Spaniards,
the Cavite Mutiny challenges us to imagine and
build a movement for human liberation. It
reminds us that freedom is a constant struggle.
Many Filipino heroes give their lives fighting for
freedom and their legacy has so much to teach us
about today’s human rights crises. That
realization is behind a need to fight for our rights
as Filipinos. It is our duty to resist violence and
 The moral lesson in relation to the Cavite
Mutiny is that one must stand and fight for
his/her rights and privileges whether it is given or
not. It is good to fight for our rights, which
includes the right to freedom. But, it should not
create any harm to others. Nobody wants to be
enslaved. Every person on this planet has a right
to live its own life in its way within its own
country. Moreover, this awakens our sense of
For everything that is really great and inspiring is
created by the individual who can labour in
freedom.
