Yes, In Philippine History there have other conflicting versions or stories except for Cavite Mutiny. This is the story of Jose Rizal and retraction of his works. A whole analyze of this incident are as mentioned below, or from the whole story of Jose Rizal's retraction of his works, there are some hypothesis are mentioning by historians. These finding may be enough for him to do so. The assumptions of historians who are favoring this incidents are arguing with the following points: -

a)Jose Rizal was in his 35, his blustery emotional years. He was on his way to Cuba to help quell the rebellion. He did not want his beloved country to be break apart by flaming the conflicts in the rebellion movement. He knew reforms will not come and his actions have already ensued to the Katipunan, a radical faction of La Liga Filipina. He has travelled a lot, made a lot of helpers in Europe. He has met Josephine and so he made sure he would receive revelation and leave a good name behind for his family and Josephine. Finally, he wrote the Ultimo Adios to Josephine, and kept dedicated it to the Philippines, the nation he dedicated most of his adult life until the end.

b)He merely said he is a catholic and that he apologizes for any effect that his activities may have had on the church. It may meant he takes back his subversive writings.

c)He was dying. Je did not want to go to hell. He did not want to leave shame on his family as a misbeliever without a christian burial. He did not want to die an adulterer without proper marriage with Josephine.

d)Jose Rizal was not a coward. Historians believe that he freely recognized his death and kept his ideologies. Historian are saying Jose Rizal walked with unbelievable calm. He was not afraid, he must have already felt talented. It is believed that he wrote his last words as "I declare myself a Catholic and in this religion in which I was born and educated I wish to live and die. I retract with all my heart whatever in my words, writings, publications and conduct has been contrary to my character as son of the Catholic Church."

On the other hand the earnest supporters and some historians opposing the above data and are arguing that, the Spanish colonial rulers humiliated Rizal by creating an artificial retraction letter or they compelled him to do so. Any how the truth is unveiled till yet.
