    D. Prove or contradict the following statement.


    31-35. The friars were the true conquerors of the Philippines and the real representative of the
    Spanish Crown in the colony.
    Yes it was true. For more than three centuries of Spanish rule, the missionaries or the friars as
    they were known at that time played a major role not only in propagating the Christian faith but
    also in the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of the Filipinos. They are actually the
    ‘real conquistadors’ during the Spanish times. As the friars become powerful, abuses among the
    Filipinos took place. The issue about the friar lands became one of the reasons for the outbreak
    of the Philippine Revolution. Majority of the lands, especially in the Tagalog region, were owned
    by the friars. Foreclosure of mortgages and outright land grabbing were frequent. Abuses made
    by the friars among his constituents/ flock were observable. 

    36-40. The distance of the Philippines from Spain encouraged inefficiency and corruption in
    government
    No, because it’s the Spaniards who invent corruption. Corruption is a human condition,
    wherever there are humans there’s corruption, this idillic fairy land portrait of Native cultures is
    ridiculous. There was corruption in native societies before Spain, there was murder, there was
    theft, there was poverty, there was war, there was slavery… the fact that someone let alone so
    many people can make these claims openly without being called racist is completely unfair and
    full blown hypocrisy.
