 SUMMARY  
•​European exploration and expansion was driven by the search for
access to the profitable oriental trade, the regious mission of
spreading christianity and was made possible by the technological
advances in navigation.
•​The spaniards had three main aims in taking over the philippine
islands, namely, the expansion of trade, the conversion of the
natives to catholicism, and the extension of territories ruled by the
king of spain
 coastal areas of Luzon and Visayas was effected through a
combination of local alliances, military intrusion and religious
persuasion
•​In 1571, manila became the Center of Spanish colonial power in the
Philippines. strategically located in the heart of the economically
productive and thickly populated Tagalog and Kapampangan regions
in Luzon, the city grew to become the paramount city of the
archipelago.

CHAPTER SUMMARY  
that were established
in the Philippines
during the early years
of Spanish conquest
brought about
tremendous ​changes
in the political,
economic, and ​social
aspects of the
community. the
barangays which were
independently ​ruled
from each other had to
be unified under the
Spanish colonial government with as the head and the sole
the Governador y Captain-General representative ​of the king.
to easily monitor the natives. initially, the colonial government
awarded encomienda to meritorious Spaniards to easily pacify
the natives. the missionaries on the other employed the
reduccion system wherein the natives and important
government institutions were established and resettled near an
open space called plaza. it served as a civilizing tool to easily
monitor the movements of the new converts from their birth to
death. the reduccion also facilitated the collection of tribute
•​Different economic institutions like polo y servicios and
tribute(personal tax) were also imposed on the native
sin order to support the different colonial projects in the
archipelago. however, the unjust and excessive
collection of these services and tax was questioned by
the church and the friars.
