19th Century Philippines: Colonial Struggles

1) The 19th century Philippines was influenced by revolutions in Europe like the French Revolution and emancipations of slaves and serfs in other countries. 2) Many Spanish colonies in South America gained independence but Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines remained colonies of Spain. 3) The Philippines opened to world trade in 1830 which helped develop agriculture but did not reduce inequality between elites and poor. This led to revolts. 4) The execution of priests Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora in 1872 by Spanish authorities arose from tensions between Spain and Filipinos seeking equality and representation.

Literature's such as Alexander Dumas' The
Count of Monte Cristo and the Three
Musketeers
The end of Spain's wars with the Dutch and the British,
as well as the nullification of the slave raiding activities of
the Moro, also led to the development of agricultural
lands and the discovery of new frontiers in the
Philippines.
These developments however did not help in bridging
the gap between the local elites and the poor and
marginalized sectors in the country. This gap led to
different revolts such as the Basi Revolts in Ilocos Sur
and Ilocos Norte during the early 19th century.
The implementation of the
Cadiz Constitution in 1812
also provided a brief legal
justification for the quest for
equality since it was slated in
the document that all citizens
of Spain, including those in
the colonies, were equal
under the law.
Gomburza, alternatively stylized as
GOMBURZA or GomBurZa, refers to
three Filipino Catholic priests (Mariano
Gómez, José Burgos, and Jacinto
Zamora) who were executed by garrote
on 17 February 1872 in Bagumbayan,
Philippines by Spanish colonial
authorities on charges of subversion
arising from the 1872 Cavite mutiny.
Some movements such as the
Cofradia de San Jose in Tayabas,
Quezon, on the other hand, had
more religious overtones that
challenged the dominance of the
Catholic Church and the
discrimination between the
religious orders and secular
priests.
The Filipinos in this time were unfortunate victims of the evils of an unjust,
biased and deteriorating power.
