TASK 1. Compare and Contrast the two conflicting perspectives on the Cavite Mutiny.
SPANISH PERSPECTIVES
The Spanish version of Cavite Mutiny of 1872
is narrated by Jose Montero y Vidal. His
account anchored on the thesis that the
fateful event of the 20th of January 1872
happens due to the concerted effort of
disgruntled native soldiers and laborers of
Cavite arsenal who willfully revolted to
overthrow the Spanish rule, and thus, guilty
of rebellion and sedition. By such acts, the
execution of prominent critics of the
Spaniards and friars by the Spanish officials rendering
are justified, and the sentence of life
imprisonment and deportation of some
natives critical of their incongruous rule is Spanish
unquestionably legit if not morally blurred.
The account of Jose Montero y Vidal was
even made credibly possible by no less than
Rafael de Izquierdo, the governor-general of
the time when the revolt of 1872 happened.

FILIPINO PERSPECTIVES
The Filipino version is told by Trinidad H.
Pardo de Tavera. For him, the so-called
Cavite Mutiny
is a mere incident of mutiny orchestrated by
native soldiers and laborers who reacted to
the
harsh policy of the new governor-general,
Rafael de Izquierdo, who whimsically
terminated the
old-time privileges such as exempting them
from paying annual tribute and from
forced labor or polo. As accounted, it is made
clear that the mutiny is blown-up by the
officials and friars into a revolt as a way for
Filipinos to gain independence from Spanish
monarchy.
