The document discusses the unrest in the Philippines due to a shift to a less liberal governance, which led to revolts such as the Cavite Mutiny fueled by injustice and dissatisfaction among the native population. It details a conspiracy that contributed to the uprising, resulting in significant violence against Spanish authorities and enforcing harsh repressive measures against perceived dissidents. The mutiny ultimately strengthened the power of the friars, deepened Filipino resentment towards the Spanish government, and laid groundwork for further rebellion against colonial rule.

Cavite Mutiny: Reinforcement Activity

2. 1. What could be the reasons for the differences behind the
motives of the mutiny?
2. If we put together the unique contributions of each document,
what would be the entire story? Write the narrative.
ANSWER:
1. The first reason is the injustices of the new leadership of the
government and poor representation of the government's tyrannical
effect through people and less liberal but, more conservative view of
the new governor. The second reason was that the mutiny led to a
massive conspiracy. The third was similar to the first but, in
accordance with shortcut evaluation.

Since that time, the term "personas sospechosas" has been used in
the Philippine Islands to refer to anyone who refuses to servilely obey
the wishes and whims of the authorities. All those who had offered
their support to the former governor La Torre were considered to be
personas sospechosas. The conservative population of the islands
was now in charge of government policy, and educated Filipinos
became increasingly dissatisfied and suspicious of the governor. The
colony's peace was disrupted by an incident that was unimportant
in and of itself but probably started the political uprising that grew for
thirty years and eventually led to the overthrow of Spanish
sovereignty in the Philippine Islands. Workers in the arsenal at Cavite,
as well as in the barracks of the artillery and engineer corps, had
been exempt from paying tribute taxes and being required to work
on public improvements on specific days each year since time
immemorial. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the workers
who were affected, and the men who worked in the arsenal in
Cavite went on strike. However, after the authorities put pressure on
them and threatened them, they went back to their jobs. All of the
workers in the Cavite arsenal were natives of that town and San
Roque, which is nearby. The dissatisfaction and discontent with the
government quickly spread throughout that section, disaffecting

3. even the entire troops. The commanding officer and other Spanish
officers in charge of the fort were assassinated during an uprising
among the soldiers in the San Felipe fort in Cavite on the night of
January 20, 1872. This uprising involved 22 artillerymen under
Sergeant La Madrid, and forty marines attached to the arsenal, and
it was believed that the entire Cavite garrison was dissatisfied and
likely involved. However, they were deceived if the few soldiers who
started the attack thought they would be supported by the majority
of the army and that the islands would start a general rebellion
against Spain. When Manila heard about the uprising, General
Izquierdo sent the commanding general to Cavite, where he
bolstered the native troops, took control of the fort, and killed the
rebels. A sack of powder exploded, blinding and severely burning
Sergeant La Madrid, who was unable to escape and was also killed.
This uprising among the fighters in Cavite was utilized as a strong
switch by the Spanish occupants and by the monks. The influential
Filipinos did not hesitate to express their hostility to the religious orders
while General La Torre was in charge of the Philippine Islands.
Additionally, the Central Government in Madrid had made it clear
that it intended to deprive the friars on these islands of all powers to
intervene in matters pertaining to civil government as well as the
direction and management of the university. The colonial minister
Moret had devised a reform plan that he intended to bring the
colonial government system into line with the ideals for which the
revolution in Spain had been fought. The friars, on the other hand,
feared that their power in the colony would soon be completely
gone due to these facts and promises, but the Filipinos had high
hopes for an improvement in the country's affairs. The conservative
faction, i.e., those who advocated for maintaining the colonial
modus operandi, was given the opportunity by the mutiny in Cavite
to demonstrate to the Spanish government that a vast conspiracy
was underway throughout the archipelago with the intention of
destroying Spanish sovereignty. They claimed that the Spanish
government in Madrid was to blame for the propagation of harmful
doctrines, the hopes offered to the Filipino people by Madrid and

4. the political views of former Governor La Tone and other public
servants sent to the Philippine Islands by the government that
succeeded Queen Isabella. The military authorities persecuted and
punished the Indians of pure blood, or Philippine Malays, as they
were known, as well as the sons of Spaniards born in the islands and
men of mixed blood, without distinction. Many of the most well-
known Filipinos were denounced by the military authorities. On the
Marianas Islands, Mendoza, the curate of Santa Cruz, Guevarra, the
curate of Quiapo, the priests Mariano Sevilla, Feliciano Gomez,
Ballesteros, and Jose Basa, as well as the lawyers Carillo, Basa,
Enriquez, Crisanto Reyes, and Maximo Paterno, were all given life
sentences. As a result, the government was able to achieve its goal
of terrorizing the Filipino people. However, the punishments were not
only unfair but also completely unnecessary because no one had
even remotely intended to overthrow Spanish sovereignty. On the
other hand, the attitude of Moret, Labra, Becerra, and other high
officials in the Madrid Government had inspired brave Filipinos to
form strong bonds of friendship with the home government. The ties
that bound the colony to Spain had never been so close as they
were during the brief time that passed between General La Torre's
arrival and the time that General Izquierdo, acting on behalf of the
home government, committed the aforementioned atrocities, which
resulted in the deaths of innocent men Madrid Government, which
up until that point had contemplated reducing the power of the
religious orders in these islands, was forced not only to abandon its
intention but also to place an even greater measure of official
influences at the service of the friars. From that point on, they were
considered an important factor in the preservation of Spanish
sovereignty in the colony. One of the results of the so-called
revolution of Cavite was to strengthen the power of the friars in the
Philippine Islands. This had an effect all over the islands, and not only
did the government trust the friars, but the Filipino people also saw
the religious orders as their true masters and as powerful and
uncompromising representatives of the Spanish kingdom. The
admiration that the Filipino people had for those who did not

5. hesitate to stand up for the rights of the country was only exceeded
by the people's fear of the friars and the punishments imposed by
the government. In this way, the persecutions that the people were
subjected to served as a stimulus and an educational force, and
from that point on, the rebellion was nurtured in secret and the
passive resistance to the abuses of the official power became
increasingly stronger on a daily basis. There was no effort made to
alleviate the animosity that existed between the Filipinos and the
Spaniards, particularly the friars, as a result of the mutiny in Cavite
and the cruel punishment.
