The three priests executed in 1872 were part of the Gomburza, a group of Filipino clergy—Mariano Gómez, José Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora—who were accused of leading a nationalist movement against Spanish colonial rule. Their execution was part of a broader effort by the Spanish authorities to suppress growing Filipino nationalism and dissent. The priests' execution galvanized public sentiment and is often seen as a pivotal moment in the Philippine Revolution, inspiring future movements for independence.
