Philippine History
CHALLENGES TO SPANISH AUTHORITY
(1560-1820S)
Portuguese and Dutch
Threats
During the Spanish colonial period in
the Philippines, the Filipinos dreamed to
achieve independence from the harsh Spanish rule at
that time.
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.
The Philippine Revolt patterns
must be treated
holistically and not separately.

SPANISH RULE

WHY ALL THESE REVOLTS FAILED?
The Spaniards possessed superior weapons and were able to employ native volunteers and mercenary soldiers.
Lack of unity
Lukewarm spirit of nationalism among Filipinos
Inadequate training and preparation for warfare
The absence of a national leader
WHY ALL THESE REVOLTS FAILED?
MORO RESISTANCE
Most united groups were the Muslims.
Continuous military expeditions by the Spaniards failed to subdue them. They fought back by raiding the coastal towns under Spain.Moro Wars in the South is
the longest, bloodiest, most frustrating attempt
by the Spaniards to colonize the Southern
Islands of Mindanao
It remained unconquered & unconverted until the
end of Spanish rule.
Fierce resistance of the people of the mountain or the “taong bundok”
PROCESS: Expensive and frustrating for the Spaniards but also very dangerous.
Ancient beliefs and way of life are less exposed to the outside world which made them more resistant to the colonization whether Spanish or even later incursions of other colonizers.
RESISTANCE IN THE INTERIOR AND MOUNTAINOUS PARTS
