Study Notes

Research and Jose Rizal

The study of Jose Rizal and the Philippines during Spanish colonization are intertwined.
Research is a systematic method of investigating and studying materials to establish facts and conclusions.
One way to obtain information for research is through interviews.

The Philippines Under Spanish Rule

The Philippines had a thriving civilization before Spanish colonization with established cultures, traditions, religions, and laws.
The Philippines had trade relations with nearby countries like China and Indonesia.
Each barangay had a datu, who was the leader and defender of the community.

The Casta System

The colonial government implemented a taxation system based on the Casta, which divided society into sections based on their tax value.
The "tax-free" Casta included Peninsulares (Spanish-born), Americanos, and Insulares.
Filipinos and Negritos paid the base tax value.
Sangleys (pure-blooded Chinese) paid four times the base value due to their business and labor skills.
Mestizaje (racially mixed individuals) paid taxes based on their lineage and status.
Indians were not part of the Casta system.

The Polo and Bandala

The Polo involved forced labor for Filipinos, primarily for construction and public works.
The Bandala required Filipinos to pay tribute in the form of goods and services.

The Cavite Mutiny

The Cavite Mutiny was triggered by the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spain and its colonies.
The mutiny was fueled by resentment towards Spanish authorities, particularly the polo system.
Filipino priests were falsely accused of orchestrating the mutiny.
Three Filipino priests - Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora - were executed, further fueling Filipino nationalism.
