Answer 2

The thirteen Caviteños who were killed and became known as the "Trece Martires de Cavite" were Filipino patriots who fought against Spanish colonization. They were executed by a firing squad in 1896 during the Philippine Revolution. The execution served as a symbol of their bravery and sacrifice in the fight for independence.
