This presentation is showing what the Spaniards have done in their occupation in our Country "Philippines". Note:I'm not good in English HAHA :V

2. In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer who
was serving the Spanish crown, landed in Samar Island on
his voyage to circumvent the globe. He explored the
islands and named it Archipelago of San Lazaro. Magellan
was killed during a rebellion led by a Datu named Lapu
Lapu in Mactan Island (adjacent to Cebu Island). Spain
continued to send expeditions to the island for financial
gain and on the fourth expedition, Commander Ruy Lopez
de Villalobos, named the islands: Philippines, after Prince
Philip (later King Philip II), heir to the Spanish
throne. Spain ruled the Philippines for 356 years.

3. In 1565,King Philip II appointed Miguel Lopez
de Legazpi as the first Governor-General of
the Philippines.
Legazpi chose Manila to be it's capital
because of it's natural harbor. Spain's legacy
was the conversion of the people to
Catholicism and the creation of the privileged
landed class.

4. 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, which was used to purchase Asian goods such as
silk from China, spices from the Moluccas, lacquer ware
from Japan and Philippine cotton textiles.

5. In February 17, 1872, Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose
Burgos and Jocinto Zamora (Gomburza), all Filipino priest,
was executed by the Spanish colonizers on charges of
subversion. The charges against Fathers Gomez, Burgos
and Zamora was their alleged complicity in the uprising of
workers at the Cavite Naval Yard. The death of Gomburza
awakened strong feelings of anger and resentment
among the Filipinos. They questioned Spanish
authorities and demanded reforms. The martyrdom of
the three priests apparently helped to inspire the
organization of the Propaganda Movement, which aimed
to seek reforms and inform Spain of the abuses of its
colonial government.

7. Because of abuses and suppression of the
Spaniards, a Propaganda Movement emerged
with the aims for equality
between Filipinos and Spaniards. The arrest of
propagandist Dr. Jose Rizal and execution in
1896 gave fresh momentum to Filipino rebels
to fight against Spain.

8. June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896) was a Filipino
nationalist ,novelist ,poet ,ophthalmologist ,journalist,
and revolutionary .He is widely considered one of the
greatest heroes of the Philippines. He was the author
of Noli Me Tángere, El Filibusterismo and a number of
poems and essays. He was executed on December 30,
1896, by a squad of Filipino soldiers of the Spanish Army.

10. The secret society of the Katipunan, founded
by Andres Bonifacio attacked the Spanish
Garrison in San Juan with little success, while
Katipuneros in Cavite Province headed
by Emilio Aguinaldo defeated the Guardia
Civil in Cavite. Aguinaldo's victories lead him
to be elected as head of the Katipunan.

12. The Biak-na Bato Republic :
Emilio Aguinaldo-established his
headquarters in Biak-na-Bato in Bulacan
province. The news immediately spread
throughout the country, and the
revolutionaries were once more in high
spirits. General llanera, who was in
Nueva Ecija, declared his support for
Aguinaldo. In July 1897, Aguinaldo
established the Biak-na-Bato Republic
and issued a proclamation.

13. Encomienda System
As part of the Spanish economic policies during the start
of colonization, the encomienda system was employed by
the Miguel Lopez de Legaspi to organize the new Spanish
colony (Philippines).
The word encomienda comes from the Spanish
word encomendar which means "to entrust". The Spanish
conquistador Legaspi distributed 98 encomiendas among
the first Spanish colonists, following the practice that
begun in the Americas during the time of Christopher
Columbus..

14. Under the encomienda system, the native inhabitants
in a given geographic region were entrusted to
an encomendero or trustee as a reward for his service
to the Spanish Crown. This system was not a land
tenure. The encomendero had specific responsibilities
such as, to protect and to educate the natives in
reading, writing and Catholic doctrines. In return,
the encomendero was authorized to collect tribute
from the natives and to recruit workers for the polos y
servicios. The encomendero also had no political
authority or jurisdiction over the Filipinos but he
could be appointed to a post in the colonial
government.

16. National Government:
On the national level, the King of Spain, via his Council of the
Indies (Consejo de las Indias), governed through his
representative in the Philippines, the Governor-General of the
Philippines (Gobernador y Capitán General). the Governor-
General was given several duties: head of the supreme court,
the Royal Audiencia of Manila; Commander-in-chief of the
army and navy, and the economic planner of the country. All
executive power of the local government stemmed from him
and as vice-regal patron, he had the right to supervise mission
work and oversee appointments. His yearly salary was 40,000
pesos. The Governor-General was usually a Peninsulars, a
Spaniard born in Spain, to ensure loyalty of the colony to the
crown.

17. Provincial Government
Main article: Provinces of the Philippines
On the provincial level, heading the pacified provinces
(alcaldia), was the provincial governor (alcalde
mayor). The unpacified military zones
(corregimiento), such as Mariveles and Mindoro, were
headed by the corregidores. City governments
(ayuntamientos), were also headed by an alcalde
mayor. Alcalde mayors and corregidores exercised
multiple prerogatives as judge, inspector
of encomiendas, chief of police, tribute collector,
capitan-general of the province and even vice-regal
patron.

18. His annual salary ranged from P300 to P2000 before
1847 and P1500 to P1600 after it. But this can be
augmented through the special privilege of "indulto de
commercio" where all people were forced to do
business with him. The alcalde mayor was usually
an Insulares (Spaniard born in the Philippines).

19. Municipal Government
Main articles: Municipalities of the
Philippines and Cities of the Philippines
The pueblo or town is headed by
the Gobernadorcillo or little governor. Among his
administrative duties were the preparation of the
tribute list (padron), recruitment and distribution of
men for draft labor, communal public work and
military conscription (quinto), postal clerk and judge
in minor civil suits. He intervened in all
administrative cases pertaining to his town: lands,
justice, finance and the municipal police.

20. Barrio Government
Every pueblo was further divided into "barrios", and
the barrio government (village or district) rested on
the barrio administrator (cabeza de barangay). He
was responsible for peace and order and recruited
men for communal public works.Cabezas should be
literate in Spanish and have good moral character
and property. Cabezas who served for 25 years were
exempted from forced labor. In addition, this is
where the sentiment heard as, "Mi Barrio", first
came from.

34. The Philippines is one of two
predominantly Roman Catholic countries in
Asia, the other being East Timor. About 90%
of the population are Catholics. About 5%
are Muslim, and about 5% practised other
religion, and those with no religion.
Filipinos at home set up altars in the
Hispanic tradition, adorned with Catholic
images, flowers, and candles.

35. During fiestas, most communities organise
church services and religious processions in
honour of a patron saint, hold funfairs and
concerts, and feast with a variety of Filipino
foods.

46. Tinikling
This Dance is one of the most popular
traditional Philippine dances. It originated during
the Spanish colonial era and is danced to rondalla music,
a sort of serenade played by an ensemble of stringed
instruments which originated in Spain during the Middle
Ages. The dance involves two people beating, tapping,
and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against
each other in coordination with one or more dancers
who step over and in between the poles in a dance. The
name is a reference to birds locally known as tikling,
which can be any of a number of rail species; the
term tinikling literally means "tikling-like."
