In the chaos, the Spaniards succeeded in invading and dividing the nation.

Since Spain's
population is very limited in the Philippines, the Spanish people are in the minority. Just a
handful of Spanish civil and ecclesiastical officials lived in the Philippines and the colonial
governor-general, a limited number of subalterns, and the most influential church leaders. In
contrast, there were just about six million native Filipinos. Just the parish priest and the
municipal police chief are present in the larger towns in Spain. Usually, through indigenous
administrators, the imperial rule was maintained. Governor, council members, and other local
leaders became natives. The townspeople were residents and the Spanish soldiers and civil
guards that composed the local force. Only the Spanish troops, from corporal to sergeant, were
working. The Spanish officials were able to preserve their allegiance even though they were
substantially outnumbered thanks to a set of advantages, including privileges, that held them
apart from the rest of the population.

During the 19th century, the Spaniards dominated the Filipinos to gain a political aspect.
At the time of the Spanish invasion, the Filipinos became the Spanish conquistadors' captives. It
was stated that the Spaniards had received taxes and were forced to operate under the rule of the
Spaniards. The recruitment of officials who lack determination, honesty, and honesty to combat
corruption and misuse their status for personal benefit took place. By the Spanish authority and
strength, the Filipinos' money was lost that made an impact on its economy. It was in line with
the jurisdiction that the Spaniards possessed that they had the freedom to choose the numerous
roles. As the Governor-General of the nation, the top bidder gets to pick who is assigned to a
position. Firms in Manila expanded exponentially as a consequence of ending international trade
controls in the late 18th century. This rendered agriculture more efficient and produced trade in
agricultural products like sugar, rice, tobacco, etc. Properly speaking, the number of families
who gained from international exchange and trading was willing to send their sons for schooling
in Europe. Studied abroad, Filipinos learned from Europe how to properly grasp and grasp the
nuances of their culture. Religious freedom, freedom of expression, and press freedom, along
with other rights like voting, are all fundamental rights that the government seeks to uphold. On
the other hand, The country is made of unique diversity with the same degree of uniformity that
created a big impact on the country’s social aspect. While culturally, Southeast Asia is more
heavily Euro-American, traditionally, it is part of Southeast Asia. Relentless assimilation forces
have fought to transcend the different ethnic groups' differing cultural distinctions, most
commonly confined to outlying islands in the mainland.

Our country's nationalism relates to the creation of a common ideology that embraces the
modern-day Philippines as it emerges in reaction to its development as a politically engaged and
socially aware state. The nation-state of the Spanish East Indies arose from a prolonged and
contradictory political and military revolution covering much of the Spanish East Indies, which
has held up to the present owing to three centuries of Spanish rule. While being perceived by the
Peninsular Spaniards as less than themselves, the Creoles had previously occupied several roles
in government and the church and composed the state bureaucracy's plurality. The Creoles also
established a clear sense of national belonging because of this. It started with three main factors:
economic prosperity, schooling, and parishes' expulsion from the Catholic Community. In the
1840s, these historical influences produced the Philippine nationalism movement. In addition to
being an internationally tradable region, the Philippines witnessed the development of a middle
class, as well as an infusion of Liberal ideas from Europe.
