Today in Labor History January 20, 1872: Filipino soldiers staged a bloody revolt against Spanish rule known as the Cavite Mutiny. Around 200 locally recruited colonial troops and laborers rose up hoping that it would escalate into a national uprising. However, colonial government forces quickly put down the mutiny. They executed many of the participants and cracked down on the independence movement. Nevertheless, it marked the beginning of a movement that would eventually lead to the Philippine Revolution of 1896
