Juan Severino Mallari was a Filipino Catholic priest who served as a parish priest in Bacolor, Pampanga. He is notable for leading a revolt against Spanish colonial rule in 1822, motivated by both personal and religious grievances.
Mallari's revolt is significant because it is considered one of the earliest recorded instances of a Filipino priest leading an armed uprising against Spanish authorities. While his motivation initially stemmed from personal issues, specifically related to his mother's death, he also used religious rhetoric and appealed to the local populace's resentment towards Spanish oppression to garner support.
His actions demonstrate the complex relationship between the clergy and the colonial government in the Philippines, where religious figures sometimes found themselves at odds with the authorities. Mallari's rebellion, though ultimately unsuccessful, serves as a reminder of the early resistance against Spanish colonialism and the multifaceted nature of early Filipino nationalism.
Mallari was eventually captured, tried, and executed for sedition and murder.
