The skirmish was the only recorded incident of rebellion during the revolution that happened within the walls of Manila.Шаблон:Citation needed

Background

After the failed uprising by Andrés Bonifacio earlier in August, the Spanish government concentrated the majority of the Spanish-Native army in Manila against Bonifacio and his men, however, after barely a week of fighting, the Spanish army had successfully contained Bonifacio's campaign to mere hit-and-run raids on the hill towns of Montalban. The uprising in the surrounding provinces, particularly Cavite had caught the Spaniards' attention.

Battle of Binakayan

In November, 1896, Gov. General Ramon Blanco ordered a major offensive to stop the revolution in Cavite. The attack failed to even dent the province which was now firmly under rebel control. After the battle, a period of peace where townsfolk from all over southern Luzon escaped to Cavite, came to be known as "Ang Panahon ng Tagalog" or the Tagalog era.Шаблон:Citation needed

The mutiny

On the night of 5 December 1896, Corporal Cabrera De los Reyes and Bugler Protasio Añonuevo led the native conscripts from the 2nd Company of the 69th Regiment "Iberia" to attack their Spanish officers and capture the military installations around the walled city. However, due to poor planning, the mutineers were overpowered and De los Reyes and Añonuevo along with five of their men were captured. Actual fighting lasted barely an hour and the remaining mutineers surrendered themselves to the Spaniards.

Katipunan connection

The motives of the mutiny are unclear, though it is said to have been inspired by the various uprisings across Luzon particularly that of Cavite, none of the members of the regiment were suspected of being Katipuneros (soldiers of the Katipunan secret society) and they were simply inspired to rise up for freedom by the said uprisings. The two leaders of the mutineers and five of their men were brought to court for rebellion and mutiny and were executed in Bagumbayan field on 26 December 1896.

Aftermath

The rebellion was barely notable to Manila society, being only a small skirmish initiated by native troops. The mutineers were put under the first of the numerous executions at Bagumbayan, the most famous of which was that of Dr. Jose Rizal.
