GARROTE
Maybe the most memorable £×ecution done using garrote in the Philippines was that of the three secular Filipino priests Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora, commonly known as GOMBURZA. It was one of the Spanish regime's way of handing a capital punishment to criminals and enemy of the colonial government.
Contrary to popular belief, the garrote does not k!ll slowly by strangulation. Rather, the condemned is made to sit on a bare wooden seat.
A metal clamp is fitted snugly around the victim’s covered head in such a way that, with one or two quick turns of the screw by the executioner, the metal clamp breaks the neck of the condemned, producing quick and, theoretically, painless death.
Proponents of this method of execution say that the garrote is more humane than its terrible reputation.
