Question

10. Among the three version of Cavite Mutiny, which one is most credible? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both the Filipino and Spanish versions presented that the reason of the mutiny was due to the unfair decision of the Gobernador General in the abolition of the privileges in terms of taxes and force labor. However, Vidal and Izquierdo's accounts became biased and added some information.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Both the Filipino and the Spanish accounts stated that the Gobernador General's unreasonable decision to abolish the privileges in terms of taxes and forced labour was the cause of the rebellion.
• The stories of Vidal and Izquierdo, however, grew partial and included some new details.
• The Cavite Mutiny story by Trinidad Pardo de Tavera is, in my opinion, the most reliable since reading it made me feel as though I had been transported back in time to the period of the incident.
• According to him, the governor-edict general's requiring the Engineering and Artillery Corps men to pay personal taxes after they had previously been exempt from doing so is what is thought to be the main reason for the mutiny.
