Thirteen Martyrs in the City of Trece Martires adopted the name in remembrance of them.
The Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite (Spanish: Trece mártires de Cavite) were the Filipino rebels in Cavite during the massacre of the town of Cavite on September 12, 1896, because of their involvement in the Katipunan during the Philippines' rebellion against Spain. The city of Trece Martires in Cavite province is remembered in their memory.
Before the Katipunan was revealed, Emilio Aguinaldo had planned to invade the Spanish arsenal at the San Felipe Tower in the city of Cavite, and he had ordered other Katipuneros to persuade enough men to invade the fort. Their meeting was held at the house of Feliciano Cabuco.
Aguinaldo and the Katipuneras agreed that they would give arms to the prison in the province where he works in the tower. The task of persuading the prisoners was given to Severino Lapidario, the prison guard. Luís Aguado will give Lapidario money to buy weapons.
Based on their plan, Maximo Inocencio will fire from the warehouse as a signal of the start of the strike. Other striking leaders are Victoriano Luciano III, Agapito Conchu, Hugo Perez, Pablo Jose, Marcos Jose, and Juan Castañeda. The rebellion is set to begin on September 1.
On August 26, Aguinaldo received a letter from Andres Bonifacio stating that the Katipuneros who had met in Balintawak on August 24 had decided to start a revolt on August 30, with the signal being the darkening of Bagumbayan (now Luneta). On the same day, Bonifacio and his men attacked the Spanish gunpowder store in San Juan del Monte. The same day, the Spanish government declared martial law throughout the province of Manila and neighboring provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija.
Aguinaldo learned of declaring martial law at a meeting with the governor of the province Fernando Pargas on the morning of August 31, 1896. Aguinaldo briefly went to Eugenio Cabezas' office to tell Lapidario that he was gone. they are time and they need to be able to strike. Cabeza was the one who brought Lapidario into the plan of attack.
But Cabezas declined to start the rebellion on August 31, because he wanted to discuss it more closely. They decided to postpone the start on September 3. However, the Spaniards learned of the plan from a seaman Victoriana Sayat and immediately arrested Lapidario, de Ocampo and Aguado. The three were incommunicado on the Ulloa railway and were interrogated. They are suspected of being tortured.
While awaiting trial, de Ocampo attempted to commit suicide by slashing his stomach with broken glass. However, he is still being arraigned in a lawsuit in a military court that issued a verdict on September 11 that they had pleaded guilty after only four-hour trial.
At 12:45 a.m. the next day, thirteen rebels were released from their concentration camps and taken to the Plaza de Armas outside the San Felipe Tower and shot dead. Their bodies were buried in the same cemetery at the Catholic cemetery in the town of Caridad (now part of the city of Cavite).
Later, the bodies of Maximo Inocencio, Victorino Luciano, Francisco Osorio, Luis Aguado, Hugo Perez, Jose Lallana and Antonio San Agustin were dug up and buried again. While no one took the bodies of Agapito Conchu, Maximo Gregorio, Alfonso de Ocampo, Eugenio Cabezas, Feliciano Cabuco and Severino Lapidario remained in the pit.
Nice one
