    The document discusses the Pacto de Sangre or Blood Compact between Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Boholano chieftain Datu Sikatuna in 1565. The ritual ensured brotherhood and trust between Spain and the Philippines through a contractual agreement sealed by mixing the blood of the two leaders. While seldom discussed in Philippine historiography, the Blood Compact was integral to developing nationalist narratives in the late 19th century. Though the ritual itself is no longer practiced, the concept of sealing agreements remains applicable today through legal contracts.

    Action Depicting Brotherhood The Pacto de Sangre (Blood Compact), despite its crucial

    significance in Filipino conceptions of history, is seldom


    interrogated in Philippine historiography. The Spanish
    conquistadores required alliances to establish trust. The
    Pacto de Sangre, as a sacred ritual, ensures brotherhood
    among participants. It is considered a contractual
    agreement between Spain and the Philippines. Legaspi
    made the ritual as a peace treaty between Spain and the
    Philippines. Blood compact is a custom among the ancient
    Filipinos of sealing a treaty of alliance and friendship by
    mixing the blood taken from an incision in the arms of the
    two leaders entering into alliance.
    Character(s) Involved Miguel Lopez de Legazpi – was a colonial official in New
    Spain, Pacific explorer and conquistador who led the
    Spanish expedition that began the colonization of the
    Philippines and launched the first Asia-American trading
    line.
    Datu Sikatuna – A great Boholano Chieftain who made a
    blood compact with Miguel Lopez de Legazpi.
    Origin The event happened in Bohol in 1565, involving Sikatuna
    and Legazpi, narrated in the late nineteenth century and
    became integral to the nationalist employment of the past.
    Applicable to Real Life? Pacto de Sangre is applicable in real life because it is a form
    of agreement between two persons, but not in its primitive
    way that mixing the blood taken from an incision. There is
    so much changes happens around us and we adapt to
    changes in our daily lives. If in the past blood compact is
    the way to seal an agreement, today we can use now a
    paper and ball pen to seal an agreement. It is all started
    with blood compact and now we don’t need an incision to
    seal an agreement. Nowadays, the term Pacto de Sangre is
    not using anymore we call it today as a contract agreement.
    To sum it up, sealing an agreement is still happening right
    now and for the upcoming years to come.
