Negritos 2. Indonesians 3. Malays 4. Chinese 5. Indians 6. Arabs - These tribes were generally free and were each governed by a system of laws promulgated by the datu or a council of elders. - These tribes were divided into three (3) groups/strata. 1. Maharlika (Nobles) 2. Timawa (Freeeman) 3. Alipin (Slaves) Early form of Economic Life 1. Hunting 2. Farming. 3. Weaving 4. Fishing 5. Mining 6. Ship Building 7. Barter - as way of trading with other tribe or group of people Early form of Government Their government was called balangay(from balanghay/hai) malay term which was composed of 30-100 families. The three important powers of the government were vested in one person, the datu, rajah, or sultan How laws were made? - The chieftain made the necessary rules with the consultation of the elders of the balangay/barangay. - A public announcer called umalohokan was summoned and ordered to barangay go to around the announce the promulgation of the new rules. KINDS OF LAWS CUSTOMARY- based on customs, traditions and beliefs.

Procedures Trials were held publicly and decisions were rendered promptly. The accused and the accuser faced each other with their respective witnesses. Trial by ordeal It is practiced to determine the guilt of a person. It was resorted to in order to show that God in his infinite wisdom always took the side of the innocent. Examples of trial by ordeal: The suspects were ordered to place a stone in a vessel with boiling water and compelling them to dip their hands into the vessel to take out the stone. The suspect who refused to obey the command was regarded as the culprit. The man whose hand was scalded the most was considered the guilty one. The second consisted in giving lighted candles to the suspects. The man whose candle unfortunately died out first was regarded as the guilty party. The third consisted of ordering the suspects to plunge into the river or lake with lances. He who came to the surface first was considered guilty. Fourth Exposure to ants LESSON 2 - SPANISH COLONIAL and EXPEDITION In the 15th century, Philippines was invaded by Spain and reigned over the Philippines for 333 years, from 1565 to 1898. Their coming changed our history because of THREE REASONS: 1. Through Spain, we became CATHOLIC. 2. We got new and more advanced culture from Europe and Mexico. 3. But for the first time, WE LOST OUR FREEDOM or INDEPENDENCE. The MAGELLAN EXPEDITION - Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese in the service of the Spanish crown, was looking for a westward route to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. - On March 16, 1521, Magellan's expedition landed on Homonhon island in the Philippines. He was the first European to reach the islands. - Rajah Humabon of Cebu was friendly with Magellan and embraced Christianity, but their enemy, LapuLapu was not. Humabon wanted Magellan to kill LapuLapu while Magellan wanted to convert Lapu-Lapu into Christianity. - On April 27, 1521, Magellan sailed to Mactan and ensuing battle killed Magellan by the natives lead by LapuLapu - Out of the five ships and more than 300 men who left on the Magellan expedition in 1519, only one ship (the Victoria) and 18 men returned to Seville, Spain on September 6, 1522. - Nevertheless, the said expedition was considered historic because it marked the first circumnavigation of the globe and proved that the world was round. - Juan Sebastian de Elcano, the master of ship "Concepcion" took over the command of the expedition after the death of Magellan and captained the ship "Victoria" back to Spain. - He and his men earned the distinction of being the first to circumnavigate the world in one full journey. After Magellan's death in Cebu, it took 16 more months for Elcano to return to Spain. SPAIN SENDS OTHER EXPEDITION - After Spain had celebrated Elcano’s return, King Charles I decided that Spain should conquer the Philippines. Five subsequent expeditions were then sent to the Islands. Only the last two actually reached the Philippines; and only Legazpi succeeded in colonizing the Islands. 1. Garcia Jofre Loaisa (1525) 2. Sebastian Cabot (1526) 3. Alvaro de Saavedra (1527) 4. Ruy Lopez de Villalobos (1542) 5. Miguel Lopez de Legazpi (1564) THE VILLALOBOS EXPEDITION - Ruy Lopez de Villalobos set sail for the Philippines from Navidad, Mexico on November 1, 1542. - He followed the route taken by Magellan and reached Mindanao on February 2, 1543. He established a colony in Sarangani but could not stay long because of insufficient food supply - His fleet left the island and landed on Tidore in the Moluccas, where they were captured by the Portuguese - Villalobos is remembered for naming our country “Islas Filipinas,” in honor of King Charles’ son, Prince Philip, who later became king of Spain. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION - Since none of the expedition after Magellan from Loaisa to Villalobos had succeeded in taking over the Philippines, King Charles I stopped sending colonizers to the Islands. - However, when Philip II succeeded his father to the throne in 1556, he instructed Luis de Velasco, the viceroy of Mexico, to prepare a new expedition – to be headed by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, who would be accompanied by Andres de Urdaneta, a priest who had survived the Loaisa mission. - On February 13, 1565, Legazpi's expedition landed in Cebu island. After a short struggle with the natives, he proceeded to Leyte, then to Camiguin and to Bohol. There Legaspi made a blood compact with the chieftain, Datu Sikatuna as a sign of friendship. - Legazpi was able to obtain spices and gold in Bohol due to his friendship with Sikatuna. On April 27, 1565, Legazpi returned to Cebu; destroyed the town of Raja Tupas and establish a settlement. - On orders of the King Philip II, 2,100 men arrived from Mexico. They built the port of Fuerza de San Pedro which became the Spanish trading outpost and stronghold for the region. - Hearing of the riches of Manila, an expedition of 300 men headed by Martin de Goiti left Cebu for Manila. They found the islands of Panay and Mindoro. Goiti arrived in Manila on May 8, 1570.  - At first they were welcomed by the natives and formed an alliance with Rajah Suliman, their Muslim king but as the locals sensed the true objectives of the Spaniards, a battle between the troops of Suliman and the Spaniards erupted. - Because the Spaniards are more heavily armed, the Spaniards were able to conquer Manila. Soon after Miguel Lopez de Legazpi arrived to join Goiti in Manila - Legaspi built alliances and made peace with Rajahs Suliman, Lakandula and Matanda. In 1571, Legaspi ordered the construction of the walled city of Intramuros and proclaimed it as the seat of government of the colony and the capital of the islands. - In 1572, Legaspi died and was buried at the San Agustin Church in Intramuros. In 1574, Manila was bestowed the title "Insigne y Siempre Leal Ciudad de España" (Distinguished and ever loyal city of Spain) by King Philip II of Spain. WHY THE PHILIPPINES WAS EASILY CONQUERED? 1. The barangays were scattered and were not united by a integrative political or religious system (only Mindanao and Sulu because of religious reasons were not conquered) 2. Diversity of language which resulted to lack of communication among ethics areas; 3. Willingness to cooperate with the Spaniards (as manifested by numerous blood compacts and treaties of friendship between Filipinos and Spaniards) 4. Superiority of Spanish arms and in art of warfare. aesrwdteytrhg Forced Labor (Polo y servicio) - Polo y servicio is the forced labor for 40 days of men ranging from 16 to 60 years of age who were obligated to give personal services to community projects. One could be exempted from polo by paying the falla, a daily fine of one and a half real. In 1884, labor was reduced to 15 days. The polo system was patterned after the Mexican repartimento, selection for forced labor Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade - The Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade was the main source of income for the colony during its early years. Service was inaugurated in 1565 and continued into the early 19th century. The Galleon trade brought silver from New Spain and silk from China by way of Manila. This way, the Philippines earned its income through buy and sell - that is, they bought silk from China for resale to New Spain and then bought American silver for resale to China. Philippine Economy under Spain - The country under Spain was economically underdeveloped. The Philippines was an economic burden to Spain that caused an annual deficit to the Spanish coffers. - The founding of the Economic Society of Friends of the Country helped in the agricultural advancement of the country. - The Tobacco Monopoly made the Philippines the greatest tobacco-growing country in the Orient. All farmers had a quota of tobacco to raise annually and all were sold to the Government. - Spanish policies imposed here were not that helpful for the Filipinos and most government officials were of Spanish by blood and Filipinos were the ones made to work tedious jobs. - There were many changes in the Filipino society during the Spanish colonization. - Spanish authorities did not show any sign of fairness towards the Filipinos especially in the division of responsibilities in polo y servicio. Because of this irresponsibility, Filipinos still work apart from their allotted time for work. - Filipinos who were working in the Galleon Trade experienced misfortune because of the heavy loads Spanish authorities were asking of them. As a result, many workers died and later on separated families because of poverty being experienced. CENTRAL GOVERNMENT UNDER SPAIN Spain established ONE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT in the Philippines. -Many independent barangays of our ancestors disappeared. One government alone ruled most of the country. Thus, for the first time in history, we became united as one nation called “FILIPINAS”. The rest of the world came to know our country by that name. - Since Spain was far from the country, the Spanish king ruled the Islands through the viceroy of Mexico, which was then another Spanish colony KING OF SPAIN —----> VICEROY OF MEXICO—------>PHILIPPINES - When Mexico regained its freedom in 1821, the Spanish king ruled the Philippines through a Governor General. KING OF SPAIN —----> GOVERNOR GENERAL—------>PHILIPPINES THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE - Spain established a centralized colonial government in the Philippines that was composed GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENTS of and a NATIONAL the LOCAL that administered provinces, cities, towns and municipalities.  - NATIONAL GOVERNMENT: maintained peace and order collected taxes built schools and other public works THE GOVERNOR GENERAL - The King's representative and the highest ranking official in the Philippines. - He had GREAT POWERS. He had the power to appoint and dismiss public officials, except those personally chosen by the King. - He was the commander in chief of the colonial armed forces. He was also the president of the Royal Audiencia. - There were 115 Spanish Governor-Generals in our country The first one was Miguel Lopez de Legazpi (1565-1572) and the last was Diego de los Rios (1898) The Governor General and other government officials had so much power that it was commonly abused. To investigate the abuses, there were bodies created: 1. THE RESIDENCIA 2. THE VISITA 3. THE ROYAL AUDIENCIA THE RESIDENCIA This was a special judicial court that investigated the performance of a Governor General who was about to be replaced. The Residencia, of which the incoming Governor General was usually a member, submitted a report of its findings to the King THE VISITA The Council of the Indies in Spain sent a government official called the VISITADOR GENERAL to observe conditions in the colony. The Visitador General reported his findings directly to the king THE ROYAL AUDENCIA Served as an advisory body to the Governor General. Had the power to check and report on his abuses. The Audiencia also audited the expenditures of the colonial government. Sent a yearly report to Spain. The Archbishop and other government officials could also report the abuses of the colonial government. The highest court in the land during the Spanish times. LESSON 3: PHILIPPINE REVOLUTION Part A: Philippine Revolution - Early Filipino Revolts (1565-1892) The Filipinos began to fight the Spaniards the moment they settled permanently in 1565 and continued this resistance to the end of their rule in 1898. In October 1889, a group of ilustrados in Paris, signing themselves as the “Filipinos”. The Philippine Revolt patterns must be treated holistically and not separately. - Revolts are categorized into 3: 1. Personal and religious 2. Resistance to Spanish- imposed economic and religious institutions 3. Land problems Personal Motives - The revolts were personally led by former barangay datus and maharlikas, as well as babaylans and katalonas, who had lost their prestige and power in their communities with the coming of the Spaniards, and were supplanted by leaders chosen by the Spaniards and by the Spanish friars. - Lakandula and Soliman Revolt in 1574 due to sequestration of their landed properties and even toleration of the encomendero’s abuse and oppression of their people. \ - The conspiracy of the maharlikas headed by Agustin de Legazpi and Martin Pangan. - In 1621-22, an outlawed babaylan, Tamblot of Bohol employed magic and religion in alluring the unbelieving people to abandon Christianity and to return to their former beliefs. In no time, he was crushed by Juan de Alcarazo, alcalde mayor of Cebu. - The rebellion in Carigara (Leyte), led by Bankaw, Datu of Limasawa - Francisco Dagohoy’s revolt in Bohol. This was the longest revolt in Philippine history taking 85 years to quell (1744- 1829). - Silang Revolt in Ilocos - Palaris Revolt in Pangasinan - Magtangaga Revolt in Cagayan RELIGIOUS MOTIVES - Two Christianized Isnegs of Northwest Cagayan, Miguel Lanab and Alalaban of Capinatan (Apayao), revolted in 1625, by mutilating and beheading the Dominicans Fr. Alonzo Garcia and Bro. Onofre Palao. - A nativist revolt with religious overtones was led by Tapar in Oton, Iloilo, whom proclaimed himself, “God Almighty”. - The Magtangaga Revolt in Cagayan in October 1718 led by Francisco Rivera, a vissionary who appropriated for himself the title of “Papa Rey”. - Ermano Apolinario de la Cruz’s revolt which was divided into two phases: phase 1 from 1832- 1841 was from the founding of the Confradia de San Jose in 1832 to the death of Dela Cruz in 1841, and phase 2 from 1870- 71, with the revival of the Confradia in 1870, terminating with the revolt and capture of Januario Labios in 1871. RESISTANCE TO SPANISH-IMPOSED INSTITUTIONS - Among the major rebellions belonging to this class were those in the late 16th century led by Magalat of Cagayan, the Sumodoy and the CARAGA revolts in the 17th century..., ‘ Moro Resistance - Most united groups were the Muslims. - They were bounded by Islam. - Continuous military expeditions failed to subdue them. They fought back by raiding the coastal towns under Spain. Why all these revolts failed? - Absence of national leader - Lukewarm spirit of nationalism among Filipinos - Inadequate training and preparation for warfare What is Nationalism? It is the love of one’s country and people. It is a feeling of oneness that binds the people to a common past and a common identity. It includes pride in one’s cultural heritage, support for the country’s aspirations, patriotism and independence. What facilitated the development of Filipino nationalism? 1. The influx of liberal ideas (from abroad) 2. The Spanish Revolution (1868) 3. The opening of the Suez Canal (1869) 4. THE MARTYRDOM OF FATHERS GOMEZ, BURGOS AND ZAMORA 5. Introduction of modern technology 6. The rise of new middle class - occupied a high position in society because of their wealth and prestige. They also criticized the unequal treatment of the Spaniards to the Filipinos. 7. Secularization Issue - Two kinds of priest during the Spanish Regime a. Regular - Spanish priests who belong to any of the religious orders. b. Secular - Priest who obtained their religious training in the Philippines who were under the direct control of the bishops and archbishops. 8. Cavite Mutiny - Soldiers and workers at the Cavite Arsenal rebelled against the withdrawal of their privileges of nonpayment of taxes and exemption from forced labor. 9. Disillusionment over Spanish rule - common sufferings under tyrannical rule of the Spaniards fostered a feeling of unity among Filipinos PART B: THE PROPAGANDA MOVEMENT Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. It was not a radical agitation to overthrow Spanish rule by a bloody revolution but instead it was a peaceful campaign. Rise of the Propaganda Movement It began in 1872, when Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora were executed at the Luneta. The Filipino exiles of 1872 and many patriotic students abroad met in Hong Kong, Singapore, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, London and other foreign cities. Work of promoting the welfare and happiness of the fatherland. Aggressively but peacefully, by means of writing and speeches, they crusaded for reforms to rectify the evils of the Spanish colonial system. Reforms Desired by the Propaganda Movement 1. Equality of the Filipinos and Spaniards before the laws. 2. Assimilation of the Philippines as a regular province of Spain. 3. Restoration of the Philippine representation in the Spanish Cortes. 4. Filipinization of the Philippine parishes and expulsion of the friars. 5. Human rights for Filipinos, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom to meet and petition for redress of grievances.
