The execution left a profound effect on many Filipinos; Jos Rizal, the national hero, would

dedicate his novel Noli Me Tangere to their memory[2]

.This injustice triggered the awakening

nationalism of the Filipinos and provoked them to secretly form movements against the foreigninvasion and seek independence.

[edit] Recovery of the Corpses

The corpses of the three priests were secretly dumped in an unmark site at the Paco cemetery.

They were not recovered until a month before their 126 Death Anniversary in 1996[3]

,in the

ladies' comfort room of the Paco Park by the Manila City Engineers Office.

[edit] Commemoration

A commemorative event was held in honor of the martyred priests in 1996 arranged by theNational Centennial Commission through its GOMBURZA Anniversary Committee. This was in

cooperation with the National Historical Institute, the Manila Tourism and Cultural AffairsBureau, the National Parks Development Authority and the Intramuros Administration. Held attheRizal Park,GOMBURZA Monument and the Paco Park Cemetery. The unveiling of a

marker at Paco Park Cemetery declaring the park a National Historical Shrine highlighted the

event.

FATHER MARIANO GOMEZ

Father Mariano Gomez was born in Sta. Cruz, Manila.

He finished his priesthood at San Juan de Letran. After being a teacher, he became the parishpriest of Bacoor, Cavite.

He founded the La Verdad (The Truth), a newspaper which reveals the abuses of theSpaniards to the Filipinos. Father Gomez was called a Fililbuster because of this.

When the Cavite mutiny broke out in January 20, 1872, the Spanish authorities arrested himtogether with Father Gomez and Father Zamora,charging them of having incited revolution.

After a mock trial at Fort Santiago on February 15, 1872, there were sentenced to die by means

of garrote or strangulation by an iron collar tightened by a screw. On February 28, 1872 the

three priest were executed at Bagumbayan now known as Luneta.

[edit] Contributions

Burgos' liberal views, codified in editorial essays, championing political and ecclesiastic reforms

in favor of empowering more native clergymen, made him a target of opposition byRomanCatholicauthorities.

In 1864, an anonymous pamphlet was published in Manila, criticizing the prejudice in the

Church, and providing rebuttals against severalcanardsagainst the native clergy. Although the

document was unsigned, historians believe the author to be Burgos, based on its style and

content. Burgos also penned several signed articles later in his life, in response to a series ofanonymous written attacks on the Filipino clergy. Though Burgos offered few new ideas, his

name caught the attention of Spanish authorities, who would report that the native clergy was

becoming liberal and separatist.

In 1869, Felipe Buencamino, a young student and an acquaintance of Burgos, was charged with

spreading nationalist propaganda in the form of leaflets scattered throughout his school's campus,

demanding academic freedom. This accusation was given credence by a protest he staged severalmonths prior, against being required to speak Latin in the classroom. Consequently, Buencamino

and some of his associates were sent to jail. With the aid of Burgos, Buencamino was freed four

months later, only to be told that having missed school for four months, he would have to find atutor who would help him make up for the classes he missed. Buencamino chose Burgos.

By this time, Burgos had established a reputation as a defender of the native clergy. His debatesover the rights of native priests had extended to include questions of race and nationalism. This

reputation would eventually cause him to be implicated in a mutiny inCavite.

("The True Life of P. Jose Burgos")

After theCavite Mutinyon January 20, 1872, the trial of mutineer sergeant Bonifacio Octavorevealed that a man named Zaldua had been recruiting people for an uprising. Octavo testified

that this man claimed to be under the orders of Burgos, but inconsistent details during Octavo's

cross-examinations called into question the validity of his testimony. Nevertheless, governor-

general Rafael Izquierdo reported to Madrid that the testimony had confirmed his suspicions, and

pinned the blame on Burgos and two other priests,Jacinto ZamoraandMariano Gmez,forsedition.

The three were dragged through a tribunal amid a list of drummed up charges and false

witnesses, and where their own lawyers betrayed them to the court. On February 17, 1872, they

weregarrotedin the middle of Bagumbayan field (nowLuneta Park).

[edit] Influence

Burgos was a close friend and associate ofPaciano Rizal,Jos Rizal's older brother and mentor.Burgos's execution - along with Gmez's and Zamora's - deeply affected Jos, who was inspired

to write his second novel,El Filibusterismo.

Several towns in the Philippines were named in his honor. These include:

[edit] Early life

Born on August 14, 1835 to Venancio Zamora and Hilaria del Rosario, he began his early

education inPandacanand later at theColegio de San Juan de Letran.He was classified as an

insularunder theSpanishcastesystem prevailing at that time.[1]

He later transferred to theUniversity of Santo Tomasafter finishing hisBachiller en Artes.Zamora graduated on March

16, 1858 with the degree of Bachelor of Canon and Civil Laws. He became a student preparing

for the priesthood in the Seminary of Manila.

[edit] Pastoral life

After beingordained,Zamora handledparishesinMarikina,Pasig,andBatangas.He was alsoassigned to manage theManila Cathedralon 3 December 1864. In league with fellow priests

Mariano GmezandJos Burgos,he continued the mission thatPedro Pelaezbegan, the

secularization of Filipino priests.

[edit] Death

Zamora had a habit ofplaying cardsafter sayingMass.Once, he received an invitation stating

that his friend had "Powder and Munitions"; in a gambler's language, "Powder and Munitions"

meant that the player had much money to gamble with.[citation needed]

This invitation fell into thehands of theSpaniardsand worse, it was on the night of theCavite mutinyled by a Filipino

soldier, Sgt. Lamadrid. This invitation was used by the Spaniards as evidence against the three

priests. The court accused them of inciting the revolt, even though the evidence was not

adequate. They were found guilty and sentenced to death bygarrote.The execution was carried

out on February 17, 1872 at Bagumbayan Field in Manila.

The uprising by workers in the Cavite Naval Yard was the pretext[2][3]

to redress a perceived humiliation from the principal objective, Jos Burgos, who threatened theestablished order.

[edit] Background

During the Spanish colonial period, four social class distinctions were observed in the islands.

These were 1.) Spaniards who were born in Spainpeninsulares, 2.) Spaniards born in the

colonies of Spain (Latin America or The Philippines)insularesor Criollo 3.) Spanish mestizos,Chinese mestizosor 'Indios' (natives) dwelling within or nearby the urban city (or town) and thechurch, and, finally, 4.) Chinese or Sangley and ruralIndios.

[4]

Father Burgos was a criollo, aDoctor of Philosophy[citation needed]

whose prominence extended

even to Spain, such that when the new Governor and Captain-GeneralCarlos Maria de la Torre

arrived from Spain to assume his duties, he invited Burgos to sit beside him in his carriage

during the inaugural procession, a place traditionally reserved for theArchbishopand who was apeninsular Spaniard. The arrival of the liberal governor De la Torre was not welcomed by the

ruling minority of friars, regular priests who belonged to an order (Dominicans,Augustinians,

RecollectsandFranciscans)and their allies in civil government, but embraced by the secular

priests, majority of whom were mestizosand indiosassigned toparishesand far-flungcommunities, who believed the reforms and the equality they sought with peninsular Spaniards

were at hand. In less than two years, De la Torre was replaced byRafael de Izquierdo.

The so-calledCavite Mutinyof workers in the arsenal of the navalshipyardover pay reduction

owing to increased taxation produced a willing witness to implicate the three priests, who were

summarily tried and sentenced to death bygarroteon February 17, 1872. The bodies of the threepriests were buried in a common, unmarked grave in thePaco Cemetery,in keeping with the

practice of burying enemies of the state.[2]

Significantly, in the archives ofSpain,there is no

record of how Izquierdo, himself a liberal, could have been influenced to authorize theseexecutions.[citation needed]

Gregorio Meliton Martinez, then the Archbishop of Manila, refused todefrockthe priests, citing they did not break any canon law. He ordered the bells of every church

to be rung in honor of the executed priests. The aftermath of the investigation produced scores of

suspects most of whom were exiled toGuamin theMarianas.Except for a few who managed toescape to other ports likeHong Kong,most died there.

Early in 1998, bones believed to belong to one of the three executed priests were discovered at

the Paco Park Cemetery by the Manila City Engineers Office.[5]

The Death of Gomburza & The Propaganda Movement

In February 17, 1872, Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jocinto Zamora

(Gomburza), allFilipinopriest, was executed by the Spanish colonizers on charges ofsubversion. The charges against Fathers Gomez, Burgos and Zamora was their alleged

complicity in the uprising of workers at the Cavite Naval Yard. The death of Gomburza

awakened strong feelings of anger and resentment among the Filipinos. They

questionedSpanish authoritiesand demanded reforms. The martyrdom of the three

priests apparently helped to inspire the organization of the Propaganda Movement,

which aimed to seek reforms and inform Spain of the abuses of its colonial government.

he iustrados ed the iipinos quest for reforms eause of their eduation andnewly acquired wealth, they felt more confident about voicing out popular grievances.

However, since the illustrados themselves were a result of the changes that the Spanish government had been slowly

implementing, the group could not really push very hard for the reforms it wanted. The illustrados did not succeeded

in easing the sufferings of the Filipinos; but from this group arose another faction called the intelligentsia. The

intelligentsia also wanted reforms; but they were more systematic and used a peaceful means called the Propaganda

Movement.

Goals of the Propaganda Movement

Members of the Propaganda Movement were called propagandists or reformists. They worked inside and outside the

Philippines. Their objectives were to seek:

Recognition of the Philippines as a province of SpainEqual status for both Filipinos and SpaniardsPhilippine representation in the Spanish CortesSecularization of Philippine parishes.Recognition of human rights

The Propaganda Movement never asked for Philippine independence because its members believed that onceSpain

realized the pitiful state of the country, the Spaniards would implement the changes the Filipinos were seeking.

The Propagandists

The Filipinos in Europe were much more active in seeking reforms than those inManila.They could be divided

into three groups: The first included Filipinos who had been exiled to theMarianas Islandsin 1872 after being

implicated in the Cavite Mutiny. After two many years in the Marianas, they

proceeded to Madrid and Barcelona because they could no longer return to the

Philippines. The second group consisted of illustrados in the Philippines who had been

sent to Europe for their education. The third group was composed of Filipinos who had

fled their country to avoid punishment for a crime, or simply because they could not

stand Spanish atrocities any longer. Still, not all Filipinos living in Spain were

members of the Propaganda Movement.Jose Rizal,Graciano Lopez Jaenaand

Marcelo H. del Pilarwere it most prominent members.

Lopez Jaena was a brilliant orator who wrote such pieces as "Fray Botod,"

"Esperanza," and "La Hija del Fraile," which all criticized the abuses of Spanish friars

in the Philippines. Del Pilar was an excellent writer and speaker who put up the

newspaperDiarion Tagalogin 1882. His favorite topic was the friars. Some of his

most popular writings included "Caiingat Cayo", "Dasalan at Tocsohan," and "Ang

Sampung Kautusan ng mga Prayle". "Caingat Cayo" was a pamphlet answering the

ritiisms reeived y Jose ias noveNoli Me Tangere."Dasalan" was parody ofthe prayer books used by the Church, while "Ang Sampung Kautusan" was a satirical

take on the Ten Commandments, which highly ridiculed the Spanish friars.

Jose Rizal was recognized as the great novelist of the Propaganda Movement. He was the first Filipino become

famous for his written wors He wrote a poem entited Sa Aking mga Kababata when he was ony eight years

old. His novels,Noli Me TangereandEl Filibusterismo,clearly depicted the sufferings of the Filipinos and therampant abuses committed by the friars in the colony. Because of his criticisms of the government and the friars,

Rizal made a lot of enemies. He was executed at Bagumbayan (later renamed Luneta Park and now called Rizal

Park) on December 30, 1896.

The writings produced by the Propaganda Movement inspiredAndres Bonifacioand other radicals to establish the

Katipunanand set the Philippine Revolution in place. Continue toLa Solidaridad & La Liga Filipina.
