1. For over 300 years, the Philippines experienced numerous revolts against Spanish rule due to issues like religious persecution, abusive economic policies involving forced labor and high taxes, and land grabbing. 2. The revolts were typically regional and led by figures like Diego Silang, Gabriela Silang, Dagohoy, and Apolinario de la Cruz. However, they often failed due to a lack of unity among Filipinos and divide-and-conquer tactics used by Spanish authorities. 3. Some revolts were religious in nature and aimed to restore native animist beliefs, while others protested economic abuse and fought for greater autonomy or independence from Spain. Despite local successes, no revolt was able to liberate

Happily, Lavezaris kept his word so peace and
friendship were restored Realizing that Governor
Lavezaris could not drive away Lim-Ah-Hong, who
attacked Manila in December 1574 without the help
ofFilipinos, he sent Salcedo and Father Marin to the war
camp of LakanDula and Sulayman to persuade them to
lay down their arms and topromise that all their
grievances would be remedied and those whotook up
arms would be pardoned.
But he died on August 20,
1572, his successor, Governor Guido de Lavezaris,
confiscated their patrimonial land properties and allowed
the Spanish encomenderos to abuse and oppress their
people. 4. *REVOLT OF LAKAN DULA AND
SULAYMAN 1574 - a pact of peace and friendship was
made with Adelantado Legazpi who promised that Spain
would recognize their patrimonial lands and treat their
people fairly and well.
He also revealed this to his first cousin Martin Pangan
who were then given cruel penalties and were brutally
hanged after their secret mission reached to Governor
Santiago de Vera.
His plan was to kill the Spaniards
and set the city of Manila on fire.
- The mastermind of
this libertarian movement was Agustin de Legazpi,

5. nephew of Lakan Dula and son-in-law of the sultan of
Brunei. 5. *TONDO CONSPIRACY 1587-88
The Spaniards hired native assassins and murdered
the valiant leader in his own house. His death caused
the failure of the revolt.
Sooner, he once more incited
the people to rebellion. He killed many Spaniards and
loyal Filipinos.
The Dominican missionaries of
Cagayan persuaded Governor Tello to pardon them
then the Governor allowed them to return home.
Magalat with his brother incited the people of Cagayan
to rise against Spain during the rule of Governor
Francisco Tello. The revolt was put down, and the
rebellious brothers were kept in Manila as exiles.

MAGALAT’S REVOLT 1596
On New Year‟ s Day, 1622, Tamblot and his followers
were crushed and Cebuano soldiers gave victory to
Spain.
A Filipino babaylan named Tamblot exorted the
people of Bohol to return to the faith of their forefathers
and convinced them “that the time has come when they
could free themselves from the oppression of the
Spaniards, inasmush as they were assured of the aid of
their ancestors and diutas, or god ” 7. **RELIGIOUS

defeated them in a decisive battle.
The rebels were
offered peace by Alcalde-Mayor Alcarazo, but they
spurned the peace offer, and fled to their fortification in
the hills.
The revolt spread like wildfire to other towns
until the whole island was plunged into a chaos of
armed resistance.
Aged chieftain of Limasawa,
Bankaw, who became loyal to Spain, incited the people
of Carigara, Leyte to rise in arms in defense to their old
gods and religion. 8. **BANKAW’S RELIGIOUS

In July 1650, Sumoroy was taken alive and executed
When the people of Palapag, Samar, found out that the
government would enforce the cruel order, they rose in
rebellion under Sumoroy‟ s leadership, and began the
hostilities on June 1, 1649.
Governor Diego Fajardo
ordered the alcaldes mayors of the Visayas to send men
to Cavite to work in the shipyards. But the Visayans
resented their order because of the hardship of leaving
their homes and families. 9. SUMOROY’S REBELLION
1649-50
In the early days of October 1660, the Pampanguenos
began their uprising by setting fire to their own houses

7. and swearing „‟ by the light of the fierce flames, their
rash intention‟ ‟ to fight for their rights and liberty.
The term „‟ bandala‟ ‟ (written vandala in Spanish
records) is an old native word which means „‟ to take
with some force‟ ‟ .
In 1660, the Pampanguenos rose
in revolt against Spain. Their leader was the valiant
warlord, Francisco Maniago, a native of the town of
Mexico, Pampanga. 10. MANIAGO’S REVOLT 1660
Later, Juan dela Cruz Palaris, a native of Binalatongan,
led a renewal of the revolt. The Spanish authorities
reviewed the demands of the natives and required the
alcalde-mayor of Pangasinan to resign. The people of
Pangasinan continued their resistance nonetheless, but
they finally defeated in March, 1764.
This revolt was
led by Andres Malong, who led some natives in
Pangasinan to take up arms against the Spanish
government and proclaimed himself King of
Pangasinan. However his kingdom was short-lived and
soon most of his forces abandoned him, enabling the
Spanish forces to capture him and subsequently
executed him. 11. MALONG’S REBELLION 1660-61
During the revolt, Don Pedro Almazan auto- proclaimed
himself "King of Ilocos", but was later captured and
executed.he also had a son which the ilocanos
proclaimed their prince.
The letters sent by Don

8. Andres Malong ("King of Pangasinan") narrating the
defeat of the Spaniards in his area and urging other
provinces to rise in arms failed to obtain any support
among the natives.
A part of the chain to the Malong
Revolt was the Ilocos Revolt led by Don Pedro
Almazan, illustrious and wealthy leader from San
Nicolas, Laoag, Ilocos Norte. 12. THE ILOCOS
REVOLT 1661
After suppressing the Malong revolt in Pangasinan, the
Spanish moved to exterminate the roots of the rebellion.

Dominican Friar, after which the Spanish sent additional
troops and defeated the rebels. 13. THE ZAMBAL

the abolition of the excessive tribute and forced

GABRIELA, ILOCANO JOAN OF ARC
On November 3, 1762, with the Spanish at war with
Britain and a British invasion of the Philippinesin
progress, a Pangasinense leader named Juan de la
Cruz Palaris (also known as Pantaleon Perez) rebelled
against Spanish imposition of the tribute. The revolt
lasted two years, spreading across Pangasinan and
affecting other provinces. The report ended in 1764,
when Spanish forces along with some Ilocanos loyal to
Spain led by Manuel de Azar hunted Palaris down and
executed him publicly. 17. THE PALARIS REVOLT

10. The Spaniards eventually won, and Apolinario de la
Cruz was executed on November 4, 1841 in the thenprovincial capital, Tayabas.
De la Cruz started his own
religious order, the Confraternity of Saint Joseph in
Lucban, located in the present-day province of Quezon ,
in June of 1840. Because of this, the Spanish
government sent in troops to forcibly break up the order,
forcing De la Cruz and his followers to rise in armed
revolt in self-defense.
Between June 1840 and
November 1841, this revolt was led by Apolinario de la
Cruz, otherwise known as "Hermano Pule". 18.
RELIGIOUS REVOLT OF HERMANO PULE
On January 20, 1843, the regiment, led by Sergeant
Irineo Samaniego, rose in mutiny, eventually capturing
Fort Santiago in Intramuros. The next day, however, the
gates of Fort Santiago were opened by loyalist soldiers.
After a bloody battle, the mutineers were defeated by
loyalist troops, resulting in the execution of Samaniego
and 81 of his followers the same day.
