    OUR COUNTRY AS REPORTED BY:

    JOYCE GRACE
    COLONY OF SPAIN PALASAN
    PHILIPPINES UNDER
    SPANISH REGIME
    Spain established one central government in
    the Philippines. Thus, for the first time in our
    history, we became united as one nation and
    called “FILIPINAS”.

    The Philippines was a colony of Spain for 333


    years from 1565-1893.
    The island archipelagos of Guam, the
    Marianas, Caroline, and the Palau’s in the
    south Pacific were included in Philippines
    territory during Spanish times.

    Most of Mindanao and Sulu were excluded.

    Interior mountain regions of Luzon and


    Visayas were excluded.

    CHRISTIANIT Y AND SPANISH
    COLONIZATION
     The Spaniards were able to keep the Philippine as a
    colony because most of the Filipinos became
    Christians.
     Filipinos were attracted to Christianity because of
    the three reasons:
    o The message of Christianity appealed to the
    people.
    o Filipinos life was approved by Christianity
    o The missionaries helped the soldiers in conquest
    and pacification of the Philippines.

    THE POWER OF CHURCH

    Union of church and state:


    oPractice allowing only one religion in the
    country.
    oBecause of this union of the church and state,
    the catholic priests then had the great
    influence in government.
    oUntil 1764, the archbishop could act as the
    temporary governor-general.

    THE ONLY CHRISTIAN NATION:

    Spaniards used the Philippines as the military


    base and mission centre to spread Spanish
    power and Christianity to other Asian
    countries. Although they failed to kept the
    Philippine as a mission field.

    The Philippines was the spiritual light of Asia


    as far back as the 16 th century.
    WHY SPAIN KEPT THE PHILIPPINES?

    This obligation was first found in the last will


    and statement of Queen Isabel, the greatest
    queen of Spain in 1504.

    Her grandson, Philip II of Spain told his


    advisers that he would not abandon the
    Philippines, even if it was a heavy burden on
    the economy.
    GOVERNMENT DEBTS

    Since the beginning of the Spanish rule, the


    colonial government in the Philippines
    suffered debts year and out. The government
    debts due to two reasons:
    I. Government officials were dishonest
    II. The ordinary people lacked cooperation
    and loyalty to the State.

    HISTORICAL VALUES

    From our study of why the Spaniards came to


    the Philippines, we learn the following lesson
    of history:
    i. A brave and determined hero can change
    the history of the world.
    ii. If the Portuguese or Dutch had colonized
    Philippines, we would have a harder time.
    iii.The Filipino lost the Spain because they
    were not united.
