DAGOHOY REBELLIONFrancisco Dagohoy

It lasted 85 years, from 1744-1829 Ignited not because of religious conflicts, but

because of forced labor, Spanish oppression, bandala, excessive tax collection, and payment of tributes

*bandala – an annual quota of products assigned to the natives for compulsory sale to the government (VUW, 2004)

Dagohoy was triggered most because the Jesuit priest refused to give his brother a Christian burial (his brother died in service while chasing a fugitive who went against Christianity)

Father Gaspar Morales refused to give Sagarino the burial because dying in a duel was banned by the church.

The signal for the rebellion was led off by the killing of Father Giuseppe Lamberti, and eventually of Father Morales

Dagohoy started a free government in the mountains, which started with 3,000 followers and got up to 20,000

Headquarters: Francisco Dagohoy Cave, in the town of Danao

It is said that in one of the passages of the cave, an underwater path led to dry land, and everytime the Spaniards came to investigate, Dagohoy would hide in the breathing space

Twenty Spanish Governor-Generals tried to stop the rebellion, but failed

1825-1827 – On General Mariano Ricafort’s order, Alcalde-Mayor Jose Lazaro Cairo with 2,200 troops invaded Bohol but failed to crush the rebellion

1828 – Captain Manuel Sanz finally subdued the patriots and ceased the rebellion
