KZbin mappers and false historians have ruined our perception of Filipino history. Let's take a look at the truth and know the real situation. It wasn't centralized. Great misconception. The so called 'Kingdom of Tondo' consisted of only Tondo. Then there were the barangays/balangays of Pandakan, Dilao, Pasay, Makati, Taguig, Pasig, Taytay, etc. The Cordillerans aren't one people. As Filipinos we must know that these people are different ethnicities and not just "Igorot". They never had a federation of Igorots. The Sultanate of Maguindanao is what is closest to a centralized state and even still we'd be wrong to assume they're centralized. Each Datu of Maguindanao has autonomy over the Sultan.

Here are some misconceptions about the Spanish Era in the country. It's not as bad as people think. History only focus on the revolution part of the era that's why people think it's chaotic and bad, but generally 300 year era was more than war and revolutions compared to what Philippine History taught us, and most of these misconceptions were the results of the Anti-Spanish Propaganda of the United States when we became an American Territory. "Filipinos were oppressed" - Well, despite the discrimination here and there, the Spanish Era in the Philippines was focused more on religion than race, hence the intermixing or Spanish, Indigenous Christians (Indios) and later with Christianized Chinese that resulted to mestizos and tornatras. Only those who resisted Catholicism were seen as outsiders. In addition, pre-colonial Filipino kingdoms were more fortunate than their indigenous American counterparts because the Filipino royals gained their privileges and became part of the Principalia class and later granted lands that turned to haciendas. Third, there were no slavery in the country unlike what was happening in the Americas. There were serfdoms though but a serf (obreros) is contractual in comparison to slaves who were owned as properties. Polo y Servicio was like the mandatory community service, where men must serve in some of the community projects (mostly infrastructure building) for 40 days a year that's just over a month, and polistas earned wages after their 40 day service. In the 19th century the days was eventually shortened to just 15. It's almost the same as how Koreans have mandatory army service for a year or two today. It was nowhere near slavery in contrast to what propagandists tell. In fact, it was King Philip II who implemented a law that people of the Philippine Islands must not be subjected to any form of slavery under the Spanish crown. And yes, we were considered Spanish citizens officially stated in Spanish Constitution of 1812, not Filipino but Spanish citizens. "Filipinos weren't educated" - Universities existed in the country as far back as the 1590s, but the general education were done at home since it was the typical way of educating children in Europe prior to the development of mandatory public education in the 19th Century. It wasn't only until mid-1800s that public education began to develop in Europe, and was implemented as well in the Philippines by Queen Isabella II. It was mandatory so all children must be educated in a public school, while those who could afford may choose to study in a private school or abroad. "Filipinos weren't taught Spanish for fear of uprising/Spanish was for the wealthy" - That's not really true at all. In fact, Spanish was taught in the country as a lingua franca. Records showed that Luzon had the most Spanish speakers out of all Philippine population, with Manila as the center of native Spanish speakers. It must be noted that the Philippines had many languages and just like today people still opt to speak their mother tongue in their daily life than the national language Filipino, or English. The analogy applies to how Spanish was used in the country. Filipinos knew the language but it wasn't their first language especially if they were from outside Manila and Luzon. "Spanish Government was cruel and abusive" - Not entirely true. This sentiment stemmed from the fact that during the latter part of the era, Mainland Spain had a revolution and the government was disorganized, this affected the Philippines as well. Governor Generals were replaced more frequently and most of them had opposing views therefore there were rulers who were more strict, while there were progressive ones.. Those progressive ones were replaced with stricter ones during the disorganized time in the Spanish mainland (which happened to be around 1870s to 1890s), hence the stricter Guardia Civil, stricter laws, that most of our revolutionaries lived through. Add that within these disorganized time, the Catholic church gained more influence in the Philippines and corrupt friars had alot of power grabbing and land grabbing (Jose Rizal's issue with the Dominican lands in Calamba was one of those). "Spain sold the Philippines to US because they wanted the money" - Nope. It was part of the treaty and the empire obviously wouldn't allow any of its territories to lose in the Spanish-American War. You wouldn't voluntarily accept a bribe to relinquish your territories if you were a ruler of an empire unless you lost a war. The Spanish-American War took place simultaneously as the Philippine Revolution and they also ended in the same year with only months apart. Philippine Revolution wasn't formally recognized yet nor established as a sovereign state since Spain still hold some territories in the country even after the declaration of Independence by the Malolos Republic, therefore the Philippines became part of the Treaty of Paris between US and Spain. It was all part of the treaty demanded by the US because Spain lost the war that very same year. If the revolution and Spanish-American War didn't happen simultaneously, the Philippines will most likely be granted independence in a similar manner as Mexico, but with the US intervention, that didn't happen.

I'm extremely greatful that they failed, because I have a great feeling that they would've massacred a lot of people like what they did in Congo. www.google.com/amp/s/philippinehistoryuntoldstories.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/a-belgian-king-almost-bought-the-philippines-from-spain/amp/ When the Americans were heading to the Philippines to officially begin their colonization, some German battleships somewhere near to the route wear seen closing by. No conflict erupted. The Dutch also wanted to colonize the Philippines. They were continuously unsuccessful due to the fact that they were quickly countered by Moros from the South, and the Spaniards and tribal people in the North. During the American Colonization, Andrew Carnegie (one of the wealthiest man in American history) offered to buy the Philippines from the Americans for $20 Million Dollars. His offers were turned down. www.esquiremag.ph/long-reads/features/andrew-carnegie-philippines-a00304-20200105 The original "Filipinos" aren't tge natives or the "Indios". The original Filipinos were the "Ininsulares" which were the Spaniards that were born in the Philippines. They were considered to be lower in societal view than the "Peninsulares" or the Spaniards born in Spain. In fact, they were the first to oppose Spanish Rule and sparked the idea Philippine Nationalism which paved the way to the revolutions. Rizal didn't want independence. He wanted fair treatment for the Filipino people. My father, along with his boss, fought for the title of Miguel Malvar y Carpio as "2nd President of the Philippines". He played a very significant part in the revolution when Aguinaldo fled the country. After he made peace with the reigning government, he chose nothing else but to have a simpler life in the province growing crops and such. His family were also rich and powerful, just like Jose Rizal's family back then. My city (Calapan City) which is situated at the South of Batangas and North-East of Palawan Southern Luzon (Oriental Mindoro), were the place were some of Rizal's relatives fled to, to evade Spanish persecutions. The Spanish friar, Fraile Bernardo Moro's h0rniness resulted in our family's existence. He broke his chastity vow, and planted his seed to their parish's laundry woman.

Interestingly, Taiwan was also colonized for a brief period of time by the spaniards. They established Fort Santo Domingo in what is now present-day Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. However, after losing the battle of San Salvador against the Dutch VOC forces, they enacted the scorched earth policy and destroyed the fort themselves. The Spanish forces consisted of a few Filipino soldiers along with the Taiwanese aboriginals, and they fought alongside each other against the Dutch VOC.

Some points this video have missed: 1. The Spanish might have subjugated the lowland tribes but not the highland mountain tribes, such as the "Igorot" of northern Luzon and the "Lumad" of Mindanao. 2. Again, the Philippine Revolution would not be complete without ANDRES BONIFACIO, you can say the revolution died when he was assassinated in 1897 (most likely by Aguinaldo's new government). Then everything fell apart. 3. Also noteworthy mentioning here is the KKK, or the Katipunan for short. It was a secret revolutionary society headed by Bonifacio until it was discovered in 1896, hence hostilities started. Yes, it goes by the name of KKK, which is adorned on its red flags. 4. It might have been skipped for simplicity's sake, the Moros also conducted naval raids, pillage, and skirmishes from the mid-1500s til the first few decades of the 1800s. Their sleek, fast sailboats gave mobility and eluded the heavier Spanish warships until the arrival of steam-powered gunboats. The Moros also captured villagers and sold them to slavery. It might sound cruel, but that was the way of life back then, the same mindset existed among tribes in Luzon and Visayas before getting subjugated by Spanish authorities. 5. Numerous small-scale revolts have sprung between 1565 and 1896. Notable among them are the Diego Silang rebellion, which took place during the British occupation of Manila, and the Dagohoy Rebellion, the longest in this period that lasted nearly a century.

If you want to celebrate the event which was fulfilled and financed by Spain, it is up to you. Furthermore, you should remember that the whole adventure was fulfilled with the drawbacks played out by the Portuguese king not only at the preparation of the voyage but after the death of Magellan, trying Portuguese ships to not complete the circumnavigation by Spanish ship commanded by Elcano. In fact, after having his proposed expeditions to the Spice Islands repeatedly rejected by King Manuel of Portugal, Magellan had to go to the Spanish King who financed his projects with money, ships, titles and Spanish mariners. After that, the Portuguese regarded Magellan as a traitor for having sailed for Spain. You can celebrate it but you must come to terms with that the Magellan was a Spanish sailor and the first circumnavigation was fulfilled by Spain. Sorry.

It fascinates me whenever I hear stories about my grandparents who knew how to talk in Spanish, the fiestas, the way they dress, the way they act, etc. I wish that the government would pay attention on teaching more about our background. For nowadays, it seems to be slowly vanishing from the minds of young Filipinos. May they also reconsider Spanish to be taught once again at public schools once again. In fact, Filipino (the national language) do contain tons of words derived from Spanish origin. This is not to bring back the haunting things of the past, but to help the new generation to look back. At the end of the day, we can't turn a blind eye on the truth that foreign culture, along with our native one, molded us and has been interwoven since.

It was only in March of 1897 during the Tejeros Convention where he was ousted out of his position by losing in a voting election to Emilio Aguinaldo.

While the video is greatly edited and a large amount of time is put into it. I think you missed alot of things. Though with only 11 minutes it is quite understandable.

The closest that got to it were the americans that committed genocides against the civilians and to the juramentados. Alot of war crimes here and there but, they were not able to fully hold it. Second you forgot bonifacio which was the one that started the KKK or in tagalog The Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan ("Supreme and Venerable Association of the Children of the Nation", Spanish: Suprema y Venerable Asociación de los Hijos del Pueblo), also known as Katipunan or KKK, was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish colonialism. Jose rizal on the other hand was not just a novelist but, also a polymath, sculptor, journalist, ophthalmologist, poet, and etc. Also that he was not fighting for the archipelago to be a nation on its own but, rather a province of spain as in his own words he had said that the people are still not ready for nationhood which is rather true as a series of betrayals happened in the Philippine later on that would cost the nation dearly.

Many people in the Philippines think they have Spanish ancestry and families spread that story down through the generations, but the reality is the vast 99% majority of the Philippine population have no Spanish ancestry and most of the people that claim to have “Spanish ancestry” are misinformed with untrue and incorrect information equivalent to “Urban myths”, very few Filipinos have any Spanish connection as the Spanish Filipino population never exceeded in number more than a very small size of 30,000 by the 1920s out of a native Filipino and flourishing Chinese population of 11 million , take into consideration the contributing factors of thousands of Spanish Mestizos killed during world war 2, the latter figure is most likely even less. Furthermore, The Philippines was never a settler colony like the Americas but an extractive colonial outpost used as a commercial hub for commercial relationships with Asia like the African and Indian colonies of Britain, very few Spaniards migrated to the Philippines and they remained a small minority never numbering more than 5000 , in 1810 Manila only had 1000 Spaniards and Leyte only 10, as the end of Spain’s colonial rule ended 1898, the vast numerous provinces and islands of the Philippines were absent and non existent of Spanish settlers while many had virtually no contact until the 19th century . The Spanish forced and implemented Filipinos to choose Spanish surnames so they could record the population and tax people. The existence of Spanish names and urban myths of Spanish ancestors passed down has caused many Filipinos to naturally assume they have Spanish ancestors while the factual real estimates of Filipinos that have Spanish ancestry is at 0.03% of the population, indeed the only authentic basis and underlying foundation of truth we can conclude is that the vast 99% majority of the population posses no Spanish ancestry. Most of the Philippines was never actually colonized by the Spanish. For example, most of the Interior of Mindanao and upper Luzon never saw a colonial effort. The only significant intermixing occurred with Chinese settlers who flourished in population throughout all aspects of Philippine history and society, maintaining influential status, which ultimately ensued the emergence of as many as 35% of Filipinos today possessing close and distant Chinese ancestry. They had become so numerous and so common and their influence very significant that the term “Mestizo” as commonly used by the Spaniard in the Philippines often refereed to Chinese Filipinos.

@@asmrjackunboxinggames4328 going to have to correct you there. Spain encouraged mix marriages to wipe out the native populations. Do some research. They created a caste system in the Philippines and only let Spanish people and those who married Spaniards to have better access to “equality”. They also wanted to whiten populations as much as they could so they brought more trash from Spain to try to outnumber the natives. See Argentina or Chile. Again, I suggest you read some books about Spain’s caste system and their treatment of native inhabitants.

Legazpi first arrived in Bohol, then went to Cebu but just stayed on the ship, then decided to sail around until he reached Samar and befriended some Datu's, did blood compacts with them, notably with Rajah?Datu? Sikatuna in Limasawa, went back to Cebu, beat Rajah Tupas's (descendant of Humabon?) *ss, and established some settlements there and named Villa del Santisimo Nombre de Jesús as the first colony. Due to scarce resources, he left North and reached Panay, welcomed by the Kidatuan, established the second settlement, Let his grandson paid a visit to Mindoro to punish the Moro raiders who were plundering the Panay villages. And then heard about Luzon's (further North) rich resources. and decided "Yeeaahhh, That's where I want to be"...... Before they established Manila as a capital colony, there were conflicts/disputes/hostility/battle with the locals/natives first in where a Peace pact was formed in order to establish an early settlement (Intramuros) there to coexist with the locals. I know it's supposed to be a short video about the colonization of the Philippines.
