FATHER JOSE BURGOS

                The youngest among the three Filipino martyr-priest (Father Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora).  Father Jose Burgos was born in Vigan, Ilocos  Sur on February 9,. 1837.  His parents were Jose Burgos and Florencia Garcia.

                Young Jose’s first teacher was his mother who taught him how to read and write.  After finishing his elementary grades in Vigan in 1849, he went to Manila and enrolled at the San Juan de Letran College where he excelled in all subjects.  At the age of 17, he finished Bachelor of Arts with honors.  He studied priesthood at the University of Santo Tomas and said his first mass at the Parroquia del Sagrado de Intramuros.

                For his courageous defense of the cause of Filipino priesthood.  Father Jose Burgos earned for himself the name “Champeon of the Cause of Filipino Clergy” but incurred the hatred of the Spanish friars.  Thus when the Cavite mutiny broke out in 1872, the Spanish authorities arrested him together with Father Gomez and Father Zamora, charging them of having incited the  revolution.  After a mock trial at Fort Santiago on February 15, 1872, they were sentenced to die by means of the garrote, a Spanish strangulation by an iron collar tightened with screw.  On February 17, 1872, they were executed in Bagumbayan, now known as Luneta.

Si Padre Joser Burgos ang pinakabata sa tatlong Pilipinong Paring Martir (Padre Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos at Jacinto Zamora) ay ipinanganak sa Vigan, Ilocos Sur noong ika-9 ng Pebrero, 1837.  Ang Kanyang mga magulang ay sina Jose Burgos at Florencia Garcia.

Ang una guro niya ay ang kanyang ina na nagturo sa kanya ng pagbasa at pagsulat.  Pagkatapos niya ng elementarya sa Vigan ay natungo siya sa Maynila at nag-aral sa San Juan de Letran kung saan siya ay naging pinakamatalinong mag-aaral.

Natapos niya ang Batsilyer en Artes sa gulang na 17, nag-aral siya ng pagpapari sa Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas at naganap ang una niyang pagmimisa sa Parokya ng Sagrado de Intramuros.

Sa magiting niyang pagtatanggol sa mga karapatan ng mga Pilipinong pari, binigyan siya ng karangalang “Kampeon para sa mga Pilipinong Pari” at dahil dito ay nagalit sa kanya ang mga Kastila.

Noong Enero 1872 naganap ang himagsikan sa Cavite, inaresto siya kasama ang dalawa pang paring martir, sina Padrer Gomez and Padre Zamora.  Sila ay nilitis sa Fort Santiago at hinatulan silang tatlo ng kamatayan noong ika-15 ng Pebrero 1872.  Isinakatuparan ang hatol sa pamamagitan ng garote noong Pebrerop 28, 1872 sa Bagumbayan na ngayon ay Luneta.
