Philippine Politics and Governance HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF PHILIPPINE DEMOCRATIC POLITICS
System of governance during Precolonial and Spanish Colonial Period
This is the first part on the lesson on the Spanish Colonial Government. Starting with the Governor General: description, responsibilities and requirements.
The document lists the names and details of various revolts against Spanish rule in the Philippines from 1574 to 1871. It categorizes the revolts into personal, religious, and economic causes. It provides information on the leaders, places, causes and results of each revolt. The longest lasting revolt was led by Francisco Dagohoy in Bohol from 1744 to 1829. Resistance was strongest among Muslim groups due to their shared Islamic faith. Overall, the revolts failed due to lack of a strong nationalist leader and military training, as well as Spain's ability to suppress uprisings.
The Spanish colonial government established a complex political structure with the Governor General at the top who had broad powers that were often abused. To investigate abuses, the Residencia, Visita, and Royal Audiencia were created. The government also established provincial, municipal, and city levels of administration down to the barangay level.
The document summarizes various Filipino revolts against Spanish rule from 1574 to 1843. It describes the causes of the revolts as oppression, tribute, forced labor, land grabs by friars, and religious persecution. It then lists the names of Filipino libertarian leaders and provides brief descriptions of 3-4 key revolts led by Lakan Dula, Dagohoy, Diego Silang and Gabriela Silang. The revolts failed due to a lack of national unity, regional divisions, communication challenges across the archipelago, and Spanish military superiority.
Under Spanish rule, the Philippines had a centralized government with the King of Spain having absolute power. The Governor-General represented the King and had significant authority, checked by bodies like the Royal Audiencia court and visitadors who investigated abuses. Politically, the country was divided into provinces governed by alcaldes mayores or corregidors. Locally, towns were headed by gobernadorcillos and barangays by cabeza de barangays. The Spanish established a system of colonial administration that remained influential in Philippine society until independence.
Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines in 1521, claiming the lands for Spain and converting some locals to Catholicism. However, Lapu-Lapu, a native ruler, resisted Spanish colonization and killed Magellan in 1521. Spain then began over 300 years of colonization, introducing Christianity, exploiting gold and other resources, and establishing political and economic systems like the encomienda. Filipino nationalism emerged in response to Spanish abuses, led by reformists like Rizal, del Pilar, and Lopez Jaena. Their Katipunan revolutionary movement was suppressed, leading to the Philippine Revolution and war for independence from Spain.

The Spanish established a centralized colonial government in the Philippines from 1565-1898. The political structure consisted of a national government ruled by a Governor General appointed by the King of Spain. Local governments administered provinces, cities, towns, and municipalities. This included alcaldias governed by Alcalde Mayors, corregimientos led by Corregidors, and municipal governments or ayuntamientos with cabildos. Barrios were governed by Cabezas de Barangay at the lowest level. This system aimed to maintain control over the islands and collect taxes for Spain.
Spanish Government in the Philippines by Dexter Reyes GMATHSDexter Reyes
The document summarizes the colonial political structure established by Spain in the Philippines. It describes a centralized government led by a Governor General appointed by the King of Spain. Below the Governor General were national governmental bodies like the Royal Audiencia and local governments like alcaldias that administered provinces, corregimientos for towns, and gobernadorcillos that governed municipalities and cabezas de barangay that administered barrios. The system aimed to maintain peace, order, and collect taxes throughout the country.
For over 333 years, Spain ruled the Philippines as a colony. The Spanish king initially ruled through the viceroy of Mexico when the Philippines was a dependency of Mexico. After Mexican independence in 1821, the king ruled through a Governor General. Spain established hierarchical colonial governments, with a national government headed by the Governor General overseeing local governments of provinces, cities, towns, and municipalities. The goals of Spanish colonization were to spread Christianity, generate economic wealth, and achieve political prestige.
Political Development of the Philippine GovernmentJheng Reyes
Prior to Spanish colonization, the Philippines was composed of independent barangays ruled by datus. Each barangay had its own laws and social hierarchy, and sometimes barangays joined together in confederations. Under Spanish rule, the barangays were consolidated into centralized provinces under the authority of a governor-general in Manila, who had executive, legislative, and judicial powers over the entire country. After the Philippine Revolution, several revolutionary governments were established, including the Katipunan, Biak-na-Bato Republic, and Revolutionary Government, before the Philippines came under U.S. control and a series of colonial governments. During Japanese occupation, the Japanese military administered the country before establishing a puppet republic.
During the Spanish period in the Philippines, the King of Spain ruled over the colony and all Spanish territories from Spain. Locally, the Governor-General directly governed the Philippines and acted as the supreme political and military authority. Under the Governor-General were local administrators like the Alcalde Mayors who governed provinces, and Corregidores who governed unpacified areas. Smaller local governments were headed by Gobernadorcillos for towns and Cabezas de Barangay for villages. The highest court was the Royal Audiencia, which was headed by the Governor-General.
1. Spain colonized the Philippines from 1521 to 1898, establishing a centralized colonial government led by a Governor General. They implemented an encomienda system to divide the islands into large territories managed by encomenderos to hasten subjugation.
2. Filipino nationalism grew in response to Spanish rule, seen in early revolts, the Propaganda Movement calling for reforms, and the Katipunan secret society founded by Bonifacio seeking independence.
3. Spanish rule officially ended in 1898 with the Treaty of Paris after the Spanish-American War, in which the United States took control of the Philippines from Spain.
Socio-Political Environment of the Philippines during the Spanish RegimeEmetess Catbagan
Spain invaded and ruled the Philippines for 333 years from 1565 to 1898. Their rule changed Philippine history in three key ways: 1) the Philippines became Catholic, 2) the country was exposed to European and Mexican culture, and 3) the Philippines lost its independence for the first time. Spain established a centralized government and unified the country's independent barangays as the nation of Filipinas. The Spanish colonial government established hierarchical national and local governments that ruled the Philippines until independence.
The three European kingdoms that became major colonial powers through exploration were Spain, Portugal, and England. The document discusses the "3Gs" that drove European exploration: God (spreading Christianity), Gold (acquiring wealth), and Glory (expanding national power and prestige). It then summarizes the early Spanish expeditions to the Philippines led by Ferdinand Magellan, Alvaro de Saavedra, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos, and Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, who established the first Spanish cities in the Philippines.
Magellan arrived in the Philippines in 1521 as part of a Spanish expedition searching for the Spice Islands. He claimed the Philippines for Spain but was killed in 1521 during a battle with Lapu-Lapu and his warriors on Mactan Island. In 1565, Spain began colonizing the Philippines under Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and sought to spread Catholicism. The Spanish established central and local governments, but the church exercised significant influence, leading the government to be called "Frailocracia."
The document discusses the concept of "Pantayong Pananaw" which was developed by Dr. Zeus Salazar, a history professor from the University of the Philippines Diliman. Pantayong Pananaw is an indigenous Filipino discourse that introduces a communication-based theoretical perspective for studying Philippine historiography. It is understood as a "From-us-for-us" perspective, referring to discourse carried on by and among Filipinos without outside interference from dominant perspectives.
The economic situation in the Philippines did not greatly improve under Spanish rule. While some social and cultural changes were made, the economic benefits mainly went to Spanish colonizers rather than Filipinos. New systems like land ownership, tribute payments, and forced labor were introduced but oppressed Filipinos and slowed economic development. This exploitation of resources and people by Spain and the rich landowners contributed to the Philippine revolution for independence.
The document describes the social hierarchy that existed in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. At the top were the Peninsulares, Spaniards born in Spain who held the highest social status and political power. Below them were the Insulares, Spaniards born in the Philippines who faced some discrimination. The Ilustrados constituted an educated Filipino middle class influenced by Spanish liberal ideals. Mestizos and Indios comprised the mixed-race and native Filipino populations at the lower levels of society.
1. Spain colonized the Philippines for over 300 years beginning in the 16th century, converting most of the population to Catholicism and establishing Manila as the capital.
2. The United States took control of the Philippines from Spain in 1898 after the Spanish-American War and promised independence, though this led to conflict with Emilio Aguinaldo's rebel forces.
3. Japan occupied the Philippines from 1942 to 1945 during World War II, subjecting the population to harsh treatment until American and Filipino forces could liberate the country with the help of General MacArthur.
The political system of the Philippines in the 19th century was organized under one central Spanish government, uniting the country as one nation called "Filipinas" for the first time. The King of Spain was at the top, followed by the Viceroy of Mexico and then the Governor General of the Philippines. Local governments included provincial areas led by Alcalde Mayors, cities governed by city councils, and towns headed by Gobernadorcillos. This Spanish system established centralized rule and administrative divisions across the newly united Philippines.
Pre-Colonial Philippine society was organized around autonomous barangays led by datus. The population consisted of nobles, freemen, and dependents. Agriculture, especially rice farming, was the primary economic activity. Religion involved belief in anitos and practices like burial rituals and divination. Disputes were typically settled in communal courts. Spanish colonization introduced major changes but some traditions, such as social classes and marriage customs, still influence modern Filipino culture.
The 19th century (1801-1900) was a century of changes and filled of turning points in our historyand identity. It was this time when a lot of changes happened in aspects of political, economical and social. The nationalist sentiments awakened, a propaganda movement started, a national anti-colonial movement and revolution ignited, and our independence declared.

Prior to Spanish colonization, the Philippines consisted of independent barangays which were essentially small city-states. Each barangay was led by a datu and council of elders, and had a social hierarchy consisting of nobles, freemen, serfs, and slaves. When the Spanish arrived, they consolidated the barangays into towns and provinces governed under a centralized Spanish administration headed by a Governor-General. During the Philippine Revolution against Spain, nationalist groups like the Katipunan established provisional governments and the Biak-na-Bato Republic declared independence briefly before Spain's defeat led to the Revolutionary Government under Emilio Aguinaldo.
The document summarizes the evolution of Philippine politics and governance from the pre-colonial period through Spanish colonization and into the American colonial era and independence movements. It discusses the systems of governance that existed in small pre-colonial communities and evolved under Spanish rule to include a governor-general appointed by the King of Spain. It then outlines the revolutionary periods against Spanish and American rule that led to the establishment of the Philippine Republic and subsequent governments, including the Commonwealth period and the progression to five republics as defined in the 1987 constitution.

Philippines under Spanish, American & Japanese ColonizationMichael Baltazar
The document summarizes the colonization of the Philippines by Spain, the United States, and Japan over several centuries. Under Spanish rule from the 16th-19th centuries, the Philippines was governed through a centralized colonial administration. The US took control in 1898 after defeating Spain, and granted the Philippines independence in 1946. Japan invaded the Philippines in 1941 during World War 2, occupying the country until US forces recaptured the islands and Japan surrendered in 1945, ending Japanese rule.

Philippines under spanish rule (1600 s 1800s)Exmenarian
Under Spanish rule from the 1600s-1800s, the Philippines was administered as a Crown colony of Spain. Spain claimed ownership over the Philippines based on the rights of discovery and actual occupation. The colony was governed from Spain through the Council of Indies and later the Ministry of Colonies. The Spanish established a highly centralized government headed by a Governor-General, with no separate legislature. They also spread Catholicism through various religious orders and established an ecclesiastical government headed by the Archbishop of Manila. The Spanish imposed taxes on Filipinos and restricted trade mainly to an annual galleon trade between Manila and Acapulco, Mexico.
During the 19th century, European imperialism expanded significantly as major powers sought to control weaker nations in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere for economic and political gain. Motivations included acquiring raw materials, spreading social ideologies like Social Darwinism and Christianity, and enhancing national prestige. Countries like Britain, France, Portugal, the Netherlands and others established colonies, protectorates and spheres of influence through more advanced military technology and imposed direct or indirect rule over local populations. This period led to extensive European control over much of Asia and Africa.
French Indo-China was a federation of French colonies in Southeast Asia consisting of CochinChina, Tonkin, Annam, Laos and Cambodia. Under Spanish rule in the Philippines, the encomienda system was introduced where native inhabitants were entrusted to encomenderos in exchange for collecting tribute and recruiting workers while having no true political authority. American occupation of the Philippines was justified under the guise of "Benevolent Assimilation" after 333 years of Spanish rule ended with the Treaty of Paris in which Spain ceded the Philippines to the US.
The pre-colonial Philippines had a progressive society with powerful and egalitarian cultures. The basic political unit was the barangay, consisting of 30-100 families led by a Datu chieftain. Women held significant power and influence. The economy was self-sufficient, based around agriculture, fishing, mining and trade. In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines, establishing the first European contact and beginning the colonization of the islands by Spain.
