GOMBURZA

execution

(Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Apolonio Burgos,


and Jacinto Zamora)

Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Apolonio Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora—collectively referred to as
GOMBURZA—three martyred priests—were killed by garrote by the Spaniards in Bagumbayan on
February 17, 1872, in connection with the Cavite Mutiny.

For spearheading the movement against the abusive Spanish friars and promoting equality among
priests, the three priests earned the enmity of the Spanish government. The struggle between the church
secularists and the religious regulars was a result of unsolved issues about the Philippines' secularization.

Ginamit ang pangalan ni Padre Burgos upang himukin ang mga gustong sumama sa himagsikan. Tiyak
na alam ni Padre Gómez ang kaguluhan dahil humingi siya ng galit at inamin ito ng tubero. Si Padre
Zamora ay kinasuhan ng kriminal kaugnay ng mga sulat na natagpuan sa kanyang tirahan.

THE CAVITY MUNITY OF 1872


The Cavite Mutiny of workers in the arsenal of the naval shipyard over pay reduction owing to increased
taxation was magnified into a dangerous rebellion and was seized by Spanish authorities as an occasion
to silence the proponents of secularization.

The Spanish prosecutors bribed a witness to testify against the three priests who were charged with
sedition and treason, which led to their death by garrote.
Their execution left a profound effect on many Filipinos, including Dr. Jose Rizal, the national hero, who
dedicated his novel Noli Me Tangere to their memory.
