2. In the fall of 1896, Filipino nationalists revolted against the Spanish rule that had controlled the
Philippines since the sixteenth century. Led by Emilio Aguinaldo (1869-1964), the 1896 revolt carried
the Filipinos to an anticipated war with Spain and an unanticipated war with the United States.
During the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines, 1521–1898, there were several revolts against
the Spanish colonial government by indigenous Moro, Lumad, Indians, Chinese (Sangleys),
and Insulares (Filipinos of full or near full Spanish descent), often with the goal of re-establishing the
rights and powers that had traditionally belonged to Lumad communities, Maginoo Rajah,
and Moro Datus. Some revolts stemmed from land problems and this was largely the cause of the
insurrections that transpired in the agricultural provinces of Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, and
Laguna.Natives also rebelled over unjust taxation and forced labor.
Most of these revolts failed because the majority of the local population sided up with the well-armed
colonial government, and to fight with Spanish as foot soldiers to put down the
revolts.In Mindanao and Sulu, a continuous fight for sovereignty was sustained by the Moro people and
their allies for the whole duration of Spanish conquest and rule.
