why we have the knowledge in a current time. And learn how to appreciate every artworks in
different era. Each era has its own differences and styles so learn to appreciate.
 The significance of this artworks is that they are strongly created so until now we can able to see
them especially the architectures that is made many years ago.
 It is important to keep on studying those artworks that have been
contributed by the time of Spanish to help us remember the signifant
events that happened in our country.

Conclusion
 The artworks that Spaniards contributed in our country are almost
conveyed or show religion particularly Christianism.
