What is the greatest contribution of the Spanish Colonization in Philippines History and cite
the important role of Jose Rizal?

 The greatest contribution of the Spanish colonization in the Philippines are, the
Filipino lifestyle absorbed the Spanish money system which is based on pesos, as
well as the use of Spanish numbers in business and money transactions. The use of
Spanish numerals is now the industry standard. And It's also worth remembering
that the Spanish were the ones who chose Manila as the Philippines' capital city. The
islands were also given the nickname "Filipinas" in honor of Prince Philip of Asturias,
who eventually became King of Spain.
