Rizal and the Cavite Mutiny of 1872

10. 10
“ Without 1872 there would not be now either a
Plaridel, or Jaena, nor Sanciano, or would there
exist brave and generous Filipino colonies in
Europe; Without 1872, Rizal would be a Jesuit now
and instead of writing the Noli Me Tangere, would
have written the opposite. At the sight of those
injustices and cruelties, while still a child, my
imagination was awakened and I swore to devote
myself to avenge one day so many victims…”
Rizal Letter to Ponce

11. 11
“… and with this idea in mind I have been
studying and this can be read in all my works
and writings. God will someday give me an
opportunity to carry out my promise. Good! May
they commit abuses, let there be imprisonments,
banishments, executions, good. Let destiny be
fulfilled! The day they lay their hands on us,
the day they martirize innocent families for our
fault, goodbye friar government, and perhaps
goodbye Spanish government.”
