27 JUNE
1864 - Father Apolonio Burgos publishes a magnificent defense of the Filipino clergy entitled Manifesto to the Noble Spanish People Which the Loyal Filipinos Address in Defense of their Honor and Loyalty wherein he deplores the assertions made by racially biased writers on the alleged superiority of the white men and bewails the racial indignities to which his people, the natives of the Philippines, have been subjected to by the Spanish authorities; Burgos will later be executed, along with fellow priests Mariano Gómez and Jacinto Zamora who peacefully fought for equal rights of native priests vis-a-vis Spanish friars, in the infamous GOMBURZA triumvirate execution in February 1872 on false charges of subversion following the 1872 Cavite mutiny.
