[@georgiebennett3336]

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.

After America colonized us, I felt that Filipinos started to lose their class, elegance, and a bit of culture & tradition. 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. For me, that's what makes our identity as Filipinos unique.

Some additional historical facts: The King of Belgium, King Leopold II desperately wanted to buy the Philippines from Spain. But it failed after a significant extent of negotiations. 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. Cosme and Jaime (twins) was sired by him. 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Katipunan yes, but there were basically 2 rebellions under one banner, one in Manila and Cavite. Maybe the reason why he didn't mention Bonifacio is because the one in Cavite (Which Aguinaldo led) was drastically more successful than Bonifacio's Manila, and as a result the rebellion in Cavite became the first republic, making Aguinaldo the leader of the larger Philippine revolution in the foreigners' eyes.

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.

[@dayangmarikit6860]

I'm still disappointed by your coverage of Philippine history. Transforming Manila: China, Islam, and Spain in a Global Port City Ethan Hawkley The year is 1588. Agustin de Legazpi, a Tagalog chieftain from Tondo, a suburb of Manila, is planning to overthrow Spain's Philippine colony, a colony that is only about 20 years old. His covert allies include dozens of other chieftains, locally known as datus, a band of Japanese merchants, and coalition of Muslim rulers from the nearby islands of Borneo and Jolo. If he succeeds, Spanish ships will stop coming to Southeast Asia with American silver, and the largest economy in the world, China's economy, will be cut off from a vital source of currency. Chinese economic growth will stagnate and poverty will increase.1 Spanish America will similarly never develop its Asian silk industry, an industry that will otherwise adorn its churches, decorate its colonial estates, dress its priests, clothe its governors, and employ thousands of its artisans. Then, of course, there is also the porcelain and ivory trade that will likewise never set Latin American tables with fine china or fill its churches with made-in-China images of Jesus and Mary.2 Agustin's plot, in short, comes at a pivotal moment the history of Manila and in the history of the world. Will the port city return to what it had been before the Spaniards arrived? Or will it grow into a colonial capital and major focal point of world trade? Will the final link in truly global trade, the one connecting Asia and the Americas, continue to annually ship 2-4 million pesos of silver and Chinese goods across the Pacific?3 Or will the 250 year history of the Manila galleons be cut off in its infancy? As these questions suggest, the expansion of Spain's empire into Manila is fundamentally transforming Agustin's city, and Manila is in turn beginning to play a prominent role in a larger transformation of the world.4 Transformation, however, does not mean starting from scratch. Agustin's plan to overthrow the Spanish colony, in fact, shows the continued presence of two vital precolonial layers of globalization. He is reaching out to a group of East Asian merchants, the Japanese, and to various Muslim rulers, those on Borneo and Jolo. The Japanese merchants are a legacy of an earlier China-centered network of world trade, and the Muslim rulers are similarly manifestations of Islam's medieval global expansion. These two previous layers of globalization, China and Islam, had converged on the archipelago before Spain's arrival, and they have as much to do with making Manila into a global port-city as does the arrival of the Europeans. The last piece of the puzzle, in other words, is not always the most important. Remove any one of these three networks-China, Islam, or Spain-and Manila would not become a global port city, and by extension the Philippines would likely never form into a unified political community. Taking this broader view, we can see Agustin's strategy for what it really is: he is mobilizing not only local but also traditional global channels of authority against the Spaniards. For their part, however, the Spaniards have also, by now, begun to incorporate themselves into precolonial Sino-Muslim networks at Manila. They have their own East Asian and formerly Islamic allies. Agustin's rebellion is, in summation, a final attempt to revive a dying world against the new one that is coming. It is a conflict over which network of global connections will survive, his or the Spaniards', and it is furthermore a conflict that will decide the historical trajectory of Manila and of the Pacific world for centuries to come. A brief examination of how China and Islam relate to both sides of this conflict will reveal the importance of these two precolonial layers of globalization, and it will also show how these laid the foundation for the arrival and establishment of a third and final layer: Spanish colonialism.

[@dayangmarikit6860]

Manila and China: The First Layer Agustin de Legazpi invites Juan Gayo, a Japanese merchant, and his followers to feast with him several times in 1588. In his culture, like many others, feasts are elaborate spectacles where political relationships are forged over conversation and alcohol. At one of these feasts, several other Tagalog chieftains are present: Magat Salamat, Agustin Manuguit, Felipe Salalila, and Geronimo Bassi, Agustin de Legazpi's brother. The Tagalog chieftains speak to Juan Gayo and his band of merchants through a Japanese interpreter named Dionisio Fernandez. They convince the Japanese that together they can defeat and kill all of the Spaniards. With the Spanish gone, Agustin adds, he will then become the new "king of the land," and he promises to divide his tribute with Gayo. The leaders make a traditional oath to one another by anointing their necks with a broken egg.6 Agustin is certainly not the first Tagalog leader to feast or ally with Japanese merchants. Indeed, when the Spaniards arrived at Manila, there were already twenty Japanese residents living among the town's people. A unique combination of economic and political forces from East Asia had brought them there. In the fifteenth century, paper currency failed in Ming China, and a currency shortage threatened to halt the realm's economic growth. Merchants therefore began to fill this shortage with silver. But China did not have enough silver deposits to supply the merchants' needs, which increased its value dramatically. In the following century, silver in Ming China was twice as valuable as it was in Europe.7 Meanwhile, valuable deposits of silver were discovered in Japan. This silver, however, was not directly accessible to China's merchants because the Ming had banned direct trade with Japanese merchants. The demand for silver was, nevertheless, more powerful than Ming decrees. Unable to trade in China itself, the Japanese traded with Chinese merchant smugglers at offshore locations, like Manila, and often under the jurisdiction of local rulers, like Agustin's ancestors. Already afoul of the law, this culture of smuggling later expanded to include raiding, looting, and other pirate activities. From the 1520s to the 1560s, independent Chinese and Japanese merchant-pirate companies plagued the China coast, and they became collectively known to the Ming as wokou, "Japanese pirates," a label that only further harmed Sino-Japanese relations. Japanese and Chinese merchant-pirates then also began trading directly with Manila's chieftain elites. That Agustin can still recruit a Japanese-Tagalog translator, almost twenty years after the Spaniards' arrival, and that he can still convince Juan Gayo to support him shows the persistence of autonomous Japanese-Tagalog relations into the early colonial period. Agustin does not, however, recruit help from the Chinese, despite centuries of Sino-Tagalog trade and cooperation in Manila. Beginning in ancient times, Chinese manufactured goods, especially silk, had traveled various routes throughout Eurasia and Africa, most famously along the silk roads; and in the ninth century Chinese merchants, called Sangleys, first carried these goods to the Philippine islands. The Sangleys came to the archipelago to obtain various Philippine products, including gold, wax, pearls, hardwoods, medicines, cotton, birds nests, animal skins, etc.; and the Philippine chieftains, who controlled this trade, sought Chinese porcelain, stoneware, iron, silks, perfumes, and even cannons.8 Chieftains from Manila had even periodically sent tribute missions to Chinese emperors. A generation before, Agustin's adoptive father, Rajah Soliman-the precolonial Muslim ruler of Manila-had himself tried to use his relationship with the Sangleys to overthrow the Spaniards. In 1574, only three years after the Spaniards and their local allies had subdued Soliman, a Sangley merchant-pirate named Limahong attacked Manila. Seeing this as his opportunity to throw off the Spanish yoke, Soliman allied with Limahong. But the Spaniards and their various indigenous allies expelled Limahong from Manila and pacified Soliman, once again, under colonial authority. Agustin is likewise turning to East Asians for help, and his alliance with the Japanese may well be inspired by Soliman's actions fourteen years ago. But things are different now. The Sangleys know, in 1588, that trade with the Spaniards will bring them more profit than conquest or looting. The Spaniards control a continuing supply silver, having recently discovered the most lucrative silver mines in history, and their silver attracts thousands of Sangleys to Manila. Many Sangleys have even moved to settle permanently in the colonial capital. In 1570, the year the Spaniards arrived, there had been roughly 40 Chinese living in Manila. Now there are some 10,000 frequenting the area, more than ten times the number of Spaniards in the colony. Though the two people are not always friendly with one another, they do share a common interest. The Chinese can count on making a steady 30 percent profit annually on their imports of silver to China, and the Spaniards might make as much as 100 percent or more on their shipments of silk and silver across the Pacific. Silver, after all, is two times more valuable in China than it is in Spanish America, while Chinese silk is far more precious in Mexico than it is in the Philippines.9 It is this disparity in values that connects the Spaniards to China and to the first layer of Philippine globalization. The Spaniards need some way to fund their colonial project, and without China's demand for silver, they have no other means for profit in the islands, at least not enough to justify a permanent settlement there. The Spaniards' presence is thus changing Manila's relationship to the East Asian world. Agustin knows that he cannot turn to the Sangleys against the Spaniards, as Soliman had, because of their craving for silver. But the Japanese have their own interests. They are, like the Spaniards, silver suppliers, and they likewise want fine Chinese silks, porcelains, and other manufactured goods. With the Spaniards out of the way, the supply of silver will go down and its value will go up, and the Japanese stand to make a significant profit. So Agustin turns to Juan Gayo, they swear their oath, and the plan continues.

[@dayangmarikit6860]

Manila and Islam: The Second Layer Agustin de Legazpi sends four clandestine ambassadors to Borneo. They are traveling on a Spanish merchant ship. They are Magat Salamat, Agustin Manuguit, Felipe Salalila, and Antonio Surabao. Though three of them have Christian names, all four almost certainly have personal ties with the Muslim elites of Brunei. Agustin de Legazpi is himself married to the Brunei Sultan's daughter.10 The Tagalog diplomats are tasked with convincing Brunei's Sultan to send a large fleet against Manila. When the Bornean ships arrive at the colonial capital, the Spaniards, heavily outnumbered, will do what they always do in times of crisis. They will call on the Tagalog datus and on the Japanese for military assistance. The datus and their East Asian allies will feign their support until they get within the walls of the Spanish fort, and then they will strike. Surrounded by Bornean Muslims from without, and inundated with Tagalog and Japanese adversaries from within, the thousand or so Spanish residents of Manila will be easily wiped out. But one of Agustin's four diplomats, Antonio Surabao, has a relationship with the ship's Spanish captain, Pedro Sarmiento. Sarmiento is Surabao's encomendero, his Spanish overlord. For unknown reasons, Surabao approaches Sarmiento. The chieftains of Manila, he explains, have "plotted and conspired with the Borneans…to kill the Spaniards." Brunei, he goes on, is preparing seven galleys and other warships, as well as ammunition and other supplies.11 Alarmed by this report, Sarmiento reroutes his ship and returns to Manila. An investigation begins. Agustin's ambassadors never arrive in Brunei. The battle is over before it has begun. Just as Agustin is not the first to make an alliance with Japanese merchants, Antonio is not the first Tagalog chieftain to side with the Spaniards in a Muslim-Spanish conflict. Indeed, when the Spaniards arrived, Manila was ruled by Muslim chieftains, or 'Moros' as the Spaniards called them, and several of these allied with the Spanish against others. After those resisting the Spaniards were defeated, most of the chieftains were baptized and christened with new European names. But many still maintained their political connections to the region's other Muslim rulers, especially to those on Borneo. Some have even continued certain Muslim practices. Agustin, for example, was imprisoned in 1585 for giving his mother an Islamic burial.12 Manila, in other words, almost 20 years after Spanish settlement, is still in transition away from Islam and toward Catholicism. Surabao's presence among those being sent to Brunei suggests that he too has connections there, and that he has Muslim heritage. Brunei has, after all, long been the Islamic capital of the region. Before the Spaniards arrived, many of Manila's Moros were abstaining from pork because Bornean preachers had taught them that eating it was a sin. These preachers had also circumcised, ritualistically cleansed, and given Islamic names to several Tagalog chieftains. Brunei was in fact so closely associated with Islam, that some of Manila's Muslims had believed avoiding pork was optional until one had actually traveled to Borneo, and those Manila Moros who had been to Brunei were known to be more familiar with the Qur'an than those who had not.13 But Islam in Manila, as with the rest of Southeast Asia, was more than just a missionary movement. It was also an economic and political one. The religion had come to the region in the eighth century, traveling across the Indian Ocean with Muslim merchants seeking Chinese goods. These merchants spread Islam into the area through preaching, political alliances, and intermarriage with local peoples. The political importance of the religion was further elevated in the region during the early fifteenth century when Melaka's rulers embraced it, and during this same era Islam was also incorporated into Brunei's elite political culture. From there, it was later adopted by many Manila chieftains, and it brought these datus important advantages over their non-Muslim neighbors. In a region defined by political fragmentation, for example, Islam connected Manila's datus to a powerful network of other Muslim rulers through intermarriage, alliances, and trade. Agustin's marriage to the Brunei Sultan's daughter is perhaps the clearest indication that several Tagalog chieftains still maintain, in 1588, their precolonial connections to this older Muslim network. Even though the Spaniards have formally removed the veneer of Islam, there remains an undercurrent of old Moro authority in the town.

[@dayangmarikit6860]

Another advantage of Islam had been, before the 1570s, its commercial connection to the precolonial China trade. Before the Spanish arrived, Moro merchants dominated Southeast Asia's China trade, a trade that reached from Manila to Melaka, and this Southeast Asian network was, in turn, connected to an Indian Ocean and Islamic world that reached all the way to Spain itself. This second layer of early Philippine globalization, Islam, in other words drew much of its power from its relationship to the first, China. Prominence in the China trade not only brought raw wealth to Manila's datus, but Chinese products also conferred status on the town's chieftains. The porcelains, silks, stoneware, etc., that Moro merchants imported from China through Manila represented the finest commodities available to Philippine peoples, and as such they were powerful symbols of prestige and authority. Moro and non-Moro datus alike who obtained these goods displayed them in their homes, used them in feasting rituals, and gifted them to their dependents and allies. Indeed, during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Chinese goods had enabled Philippine chieftains to build the largest chiefdoms and inter-datu alliance networks in their history.14 In precolonial times, Agustin's Moro ancestors had made themselves into the region's most powerful chieftains because they obtained a near monopoly over the archipelago's China trade. Chinese merchants who traveled to the archipelago came to Manila first, where they traded the bulk of their goods. Manila's Moro merchant-rulers would then sail throughout the region trading these goods to others. The Moros, in fact, traded so much in Chinese goods that merchant boats from Manila came to be known throughout the region as the China ships, and soon Manila's Moros had learned the archipelago's many other dialects so they could conduct their trade with diverse Philippine ethnic groups. Ultimately, through translation and trade early Philippine Moros gained control not only over local Chinese commerce but also over almost all other inter-ethnic/inter-island exchanges.15 In a sense, Manila's Moros had woven together an informal trading colony throughout the Philippine islands before the Spaniards even got there. Their monopoly over Chinese goods coupled with the prestige connected to those goods gave them influence over this informal network through a clear and specific chain of demand. Chieftains throughout the region demanded Chinese products to expand their authority, and Moros demanded Chinese products of the East Asian merchants who came to Manila. The influence of this chain of demand was particularly visible among the islands' non-Muslim datus who were completely dependent on the Moros for their links to foreign trade. When, for instance, the Spaniards had first arrived and tried to trade near Butuan, a settlement on Mindanao, Moro merchants there would not allow the Butuan people to accept just any Spanish products. They insisted that the people of Butuan trade only for silver, and the non-Moro people of Butuan obeyed.16 Later, speaking of a powerful Moro chieftain, one Spaniard noted that "he was well known [throughout the islands]; and so much faith was put in him that he was obeyed as little less than a king."17 Chinese products had expanded the power of local datus over their subjects, and by extension the Manila Moros' near monopoly over Chinese products had expanded their power over those other chieftains. When the Spanish colonizers arrived in 1565, they initially relied heavily on this informal Muslim trade network. Having brought an interpreter with them from Portuguese Melaka, the Spaniards soon discovered that the Moros of the Philippines could speak both Malay, the language of Melaka, and the region's various local dialects. Moros thus became indispensable translators, and as translators, they also served the Spaniards in critical diplomatic roles. A Moro interpreter, in fact, was crucial in negotiating and establishing the first Spanish settlement at Cebu. The Spaniards also assimilated into the Moros' local trade network, which was essential to their early survival in the islands. One Manila Moro in partcular, named Mahomar- an early Tagalog rendering of the word Muhammad-was especially important in this process. Hearing that the Spaniards had silver, he arrived to trade at their Cebu settlement as they were on the brink of starvation. For the next five years, between 1565-1570, as Muhammad made his regular trading rounds through the islands, he frequently traveled from Manila to Cebu and back carrying desperately needed local supplies to the Spaniards in exchange for more Latin American silver. Mahomar then took that silver to Manila where he traded it for Chinese commodities, making him the founder of the galleon trade: the first to discover and profit from the exchange of American silver for Chinese goods. And it was Mahomar's regular trade with the Spaniards that began to create the new world Agustin was now, in 1588, attempting to overthrow. As early as 1565, Mahomar's actions had begun to stitch together and to transform the worlds of China, Islam, and Spain in the Philippines. Not all Moros in that earlier era had, however, cooperated with the Spaniards. Mahomar and his family were eventually baptized into Catholicism, and in 1570 the Spaniards asked him to help them resettle at Manila. Mahomar agreed to help, and in that year he guided the Spaniards to his hometown. He even used his own manpower to back and support them. But Rajah Soliman, the most powerful Moro datu in Manila at the time, resisted Spanish settlement. When Mahomar came ashore from the Spanish ships to feast with Soliman, hoping perhaps to broker some permanent alliance, violence broke out between the two. Eventually, this violence spilled over into Manila Bay, and Spanish ships, unaware of what had started the conflict, began to fire on Soliman's Manila settlement.18 Mahomar and the Spaniards, shortly thereafter, defeated Soliman, who fled to the hills, and the following year Mahomar's Moros, accompanied by the Spanish, returned to Manila and began building the colony's new capital. In later years, one local Spanish historian would memorialize Mahomar as "the key to all the islands."19 Even the self congratulating Spaniards acknowledged-despite their intense opposition to Islam-that without their local Moro allies their colonial project in Asia would have been impossible. The Spanish settlement at Manila, however, did not put an end to the division between Moro supporters of colonization and Moro resisters, something that was becoming clear from Surabao's revelation about Agustin's plot. Though many Muslim datus throughout the region allied with the Spaniards and adopted Christianity, several of these Christian converts still sought opportunity to overthrow colonial authority, and some of these continued to turn to traditional Muslim channels of power to do it. Soliman's 1574 revolt, described above, for example, had involved not only a Chinese merchant-pirate, but he was also rumored to have sent a request to Brunei, asking that the Muslim sultan dispatch a fleet of ships to support his efforts.20 This fleet never arrived, but the rumor eventually helped to inspire a 1578-79 colonial expedition that attacked Brunei and other Moro settlements in the area, including Jolo and Mindanao.21 This expedition was the start of outright antagonism between Manila and its Muslim neighbors, an antagonism that would yet last for centuries, even into the twenty first century. In 1588, however, that antagonism is not yet complete. Agustin still has traditional allies on Borneo, and his envoy to reach out to them is reminiscent of his adoptive father's attempt to do the same fourteen years before.

The Spaniards have, however, also built their own powerful network of allies among Manila's formerly Muslim datus. These principales, as the Spaniards call them, are now officials in the colonial government. In the Spanish system, the lower classes continue to be governed by their native principales, who now answer to Spanish encomenderos, who in turn answer to the Spanish gobernador, or governor. The role of principales is at the crux of this colonial system. These indigenous-rulers-turned-colonial-administrators are tasked with using traditional local channels of authority to mobilize resources and labor for the colony from below, and the Spanish colonial system rewards them with stable legitimacy from above. And it is here that we see the contribution of Islam to early Philippine colonization. Mahomar and those Moros who had first supported the Spaniards incorporated the European newcomers into their informal Muslim trading network, and the Spaniards are now, in 1588, in the process of converting that network into their own formal colony by converting Muslim datus into Christian principales. Agustin is himself one of these principales, as are most of his anti-Spanish allies. They have, however, become disillusioned with the colonial system because it is not working as it should. It is undermining instead of solidifying their local power. For one thing, since the Spaniards have arrived, their followers and slaves are less compliant than before, many even suing for their freedom in colonial courts. When they, furthermore, fail to collect the allotted amount of tribute from their now unruly subjects and slaves, the Spanish put them in prison.22 On the other hand, Antonio Surabao is himself also a principal, and he is now without question the man most responsible for the colony's continued survival. Surabao's motives are, unfortunately, not entirely clear. He could be betraying Agustin for any number of personal, religious, political, and/or economic reasons. But whatever his exact motives, he continues the legacy of Mahomar among local Tagalog leaders. Given a choice between siding with the Spaniards or with older Muslim connections, he chooses the Spaniards. As it was with Mahomar, silver remains the most historically visible reason for his decision, though that decision is certainly far more complex. Mahomar had traded for Spanish silver in order to obtain prestige items from China, and with the arrival of more silver this pattern for obtaining Chinese goods is now becoming even more common, so common that it is fundamentally altering the local economy. Before the Spanish arrived, Philippine peoples had produced local goods to exchange directly for Chinese products. However, with the arrival of Spanish silver, by the boatload, the easiest way to obtain Chinese prestige goods is to serve the Spaniards, who pay in silver. One can then use this silver to trade directly with the Chinese.23 Chinese products can then be used, as before, by indigenous peoples as decorations, in feasts, and as gifts. Whether or not Surabao is directly participating in Mahomar's continued pattern of exchange is not known. But what is clear is that the Chinese, Islamic, and Spanish worlds that Mahomar had only stitched together twenty years before are now, in 1588, being permanently bound together. They are becoming one world in an emerging global network that brings new wealth to many Spanish, Chinese, and indigenous elites in Manila. Agustin and his allies are among those who have lost wealth and prestige in this process, and these are their reasons for trying to overthrow the Spaniards. Surabao, on the other hand, identifies with the colony's emerging core of indigenous defenders. Hereafter, the support of many Tagalog chieftains, like Mahomar and Surabao, will continue to remove Manila from the Muslim world and to transform it into a Christian colony. But this does not diminish Islam's original contribution to Spanish colonization. Mahomar and the Manila Moros had kept the Spaniards' 1565 colonizing expedition alive on Cebu, and they had helped them to settle in Manila. Surabao, likely a descendant himself of Muslim rulers, is now saving them from Agustin's attempt to reestablish some form of precolonial Moro authority. Surabao's betrayal will permanently sever all ties between the principales of Manila and the Muslim chieftains on Borneo, Jolo, and Mindanao, ties that will be replaced by a relationship of mutual raiding and warfare. When the Spaniards arrived Islam had already informally unified the Philippine archipelago economically, and at first the Spaniards were little more than a new addition to the Moros' local trade network. But when they moved to Manila, they began the takeover and political consolidation of that network, a takeover that Agustin was trying desperately to stop by turning to older Muslim channels of support: the Japanese and Borneo. And this might have worked. Had it not been for Antonio Surabao. The process is perhaps best exemplified by a newly Christianized word. Sometime between 1570 and 1588, the Spaniards began using the local term "binyag" to mean baptism among Philippine peoples. But this was not originally a Christian word at all. It was, rather, a term that had been introduced by Muslim preachers from Borneo to describe Ghusul, Islam's ritualistic cleansing of the body from impurities.24 Despite its Muslim heritage, it is during this time that "binyag" is becoming the Tagalog term for Christian baptism, and just as the Spaniards used and then redirected the meaning of a Muslim word toward Christian ends, they first used and then redirected Manila's precolonial Muslim network toward its Christian future.

Manila and Spain: The Third Layer The year is 1589. Agustin de Legazpi is tried and found guilty along with 22 other principales and 1 Japanese interpreter, Dionisio Fernandez. Of these 23, 4 are executed, 8 are exiled to New Spain, and 11 are exiled from Manila. Agustin and one of his closest associates are dragged through the streets of Manila, hanged, and then decapitated. Their heads are placed in metal cages and displayed on the gallows "as an example and warning against the said crime."25 This is, however, more than just a punishment and a warning. It is a severing of old connections to the Japanese and to Brunei, a severing of independent Tagalog links with China and Islam. Most of those convicted are principales who had maintained and attempted to mobilize traditional relationships with the old layers of globalization, layers that hearkened back to the bygone era 'when Asia was the world.'26 But the Spaniards have their own allies from China and from what was once Muslim Manila, allies that thwarted Agustin. Now that Agustin and the others are gone, the old global networks that had made Spanish settlement possible are no longer needed, nor are they anymore a threat. They have been functionally redirected toward a colonial present and future, redirected toward the continued functioning of Manila as a major port city in an emerging global order. More than that, Manila is forming a stable and permanent government, one that will provide the security, laws, and labor necessary for the galleon trade to function for another two hundred years. In the end, Agustin's plan, known later as the Tondo conspiracy, is a testament to the importance of Manila's local history. Though the galleon trade was driven by a unique alignment of global supplies and demands, it depended just as much on the history of Manila, a history involving much more than the mere expansion of a single European power. Indeed, colonial power survived not only because the Spaniards conquered local Philippine peoples, but also because of silver's ability to redirect the global channels of authority flowing into the islands. The Spanish were able to defeat Agustin for the same reasons that Manila became a global port city: because they and their allies successfully stitched together and bonded their third layer of globalization with the two layers that had come before. They came to a place where the worlds of Islam and China were already connected, where the Moro ancestors of Agustin and Antonio had been the primary distributers of valuable Chinese goods. The Spaniards then incorporated themselves into this system, took over the China trade, and then draped their layer of political authority over the economic networks that Muslim merchants had already created. Agustin was the old Islamic world's last attempt to throw off the Spanish layer of global authority. He had been preceded by his adoptive father, Rajah Soliman. With his trial and death, the legacy of Islam in Manila would disappear and long be forgotten. Antonio, on the other hand, was helping to solidify colonial authority over the archipelago, a process that had been started by Mahomar. His Manila, shared with the Spanish colonial masters, was completing its transformation into a new global port city. For better or for worse, it was taking its first steps toward its place in the emerging world of modernity.

Altho i think some of the info here were incomplete and incorrect, this is a good video summarizing the history of the country. As much as i personally don't like the Spanish history of our country, Philippines will not be the Philippines today without spain(literally in the name too). This would probably be divided by 2 or 3 nations without spain AND mexico governing it for 300+ years

[@xxxx2228]

That is the non-sugarcoated brutal truth. That Spain created the Philippines and ignored or destroyed the local chiefdoms and rajahnates. This is similar to the way the British partitioned Middle East and just drew borders here and there, not really knowing that conflicting rival tribes were lumped up in one country (like in Iraq)...
