Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
JUNE 27, 1864
The Manifiesto que ala Noble Nacion Espanola Dirigen los Leales Filipinos (Manifesto Addressed to the Noble Spanish Nation by Loyal Filipinos) was published in Spain and written by an anonymous author.
Historians recognized the author as Fr. Jose Apolonio Burgos based on its content and style.
The “Manifesto” called for clerical equity and denounced Spanish prejudices and discrimination towards the Filipinos.
Fr. Burgos along with Fr. Mariano Gomez and Fr. Jacinto Zamora were arrested and put to death by the Spanish authorities in 1872.
