Cavite Mutiny

The 1872 Cavite Mutiny was a revolt led by Sergeant Fernando La Madrid where around 200 Filipino soldiers and laborers attacked Spanish officers and seized weapons in Cavite. In response, Spanish Governor Rafael Izquierdo had the leaders of the mutiny executed, including three Filipino priests known as Gomburza. While the Spanish saw the mutiny as an act against their regime, Filipinos viewed it as an uprising against oppressive Spanish rule and a step towards independence. The execution of the Gomburza priests became a symbol of Filipino nationalism in the fight for freedom from Spanish colonial rule.
