The Cavite Mutiny of 1872 in the Philippines began as a brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and workers at the Cavite arsenal on January 20th, 1872. In response, the Spanish authorities arrested and imprisoned many suspected Filipino revolutionaries. Three Catholic priests - Fathers Jose Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and Mariano Gomez - were sentenced to death and executed by garroting on February 17th, 1872, becoming martyrs of the Philippine revolution. The mutiny and subsequent executions inflamed nationalist sentiment and marked the beginning of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule.
