There are two major events happened in 1872, the cavite mutiny and the martyrdom of 3 martyr priests Father Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora. There are lots of Filipinos didn't know that there are two sides of this stories, the Viewpoint of Spanish and zviewpoint of Filipino, the execution of Gomburza awakens the Nationalism of Filipinos to fight against the Spaniards.
Viewpoint of Spanish
The two Spanish historians believe that on 1872 Sampaloc Manila was celebrating feast for the Patron, its usual for them to use fireworks display but people in Cavite misunderstood the fireworks as a sign of attack thats why they launched an attack and kill the commander and Spanish officers.
When the news reached Gov. General of Pbilippines he immediately ordered the troops in cavite to stop the revolution. Unfortunately the revolution lead by Seargent Lamadrid failed and he was killed. The three father martyr was judge by the court and some abogadillos tried to save them butin the end abogadillos lost their profession and sent to imprisonment. The three fathers sentence to death by Garote. With that failed revolution, Spaniards was alarmed and make their forces stronger.
Viewpoint of Filipinos
About 200 men headed by Lamadrid launch an attack and killed commanders and Spanish officers, they expecting a support from other zfilipinos but in the end there is no support for them, Filipinos that time afraid to fight Spaniards thats the reason why the revolution failed, reinforcement troops was sent and suppress the force of Lamadrid, in the end La Madrid was killed.
This time Filipinos believe that it's a plan of friars and governor General to used cavite mutiny as a tool to control the residents of Cavite and Manila, they are showing that anyone who rebels them shall be killed. That time the government in Madrid remove all the powers of friars to control the government and educational institutions. Since friars has the power to take control they are abusing this power and used it for their sake such as take over the land, high taxes and force donation in their church.
