Slide 5: These systems may be similar in some aspects, but they also have their differences.
Encomienda and hacienda systems are both labor systems developed by Spain granting large
amounts of land to conquistador or conquerors who has helped through the process of
colonization.
: The encomienda system (in theory) was a feudal-like system where Spaniards would
offer protection and education to the native populations in exchange for labor and money/gifts.
: On the other hand, the hacienda system was designed to keep people that were in debt
working on a piece of land. People working on haciendas were made to stay there as long as
possible using various means.
Slide 6: Encomienda comes from the word Encomendar, which means to commend or to commit
to one’s care.
: It is originally a feudal institution in Spain to reward deserving Spaniards. A feudal
system (also known as feudalism) is a type of social and political system in which landholders
provide land to tenants in exchange for their loyalty and service.
Slide 7: Why was it imposed? Encomienda system was imposed in 1570 in compliance with the
decree issued by King Philip II in 1558. At this moment, lands were distributed in Cebu to loyal
Spanish subjects.
Slide 8: What did the encomienda system do? The encomienda system is a labor system
established by the Spanish Crown rewarding Spanish explorers, conquistadors, and military men
with land. However, they didn't just get the land, they got the labor of the people living on the
land as well.

Slide 9: There are 3 types of Encomienda which includes, The Royal Encomiendas (belonging to
the King), The Ecclesiastical Encomiendas (belonging to the Church), Privado (belonging to
private individuals)

Slide 10: Primarily, it was the encomenderos who benefited from the encomienda system. The
encomenderos were required by law to perform the following duties: 1) to give protection to
the natives, 2) to help the missionaries convert the natives to Christianity, and 3) to promote
education.

: However, many of the Spanish encomenderos committed abuses, such as:

  Brutal treatment of the Filipinos
 Collecting more tribute than authorized by law
 Forcing the people to work for them
 Seizure of the people’s animals and crops without just compensation

Slide 11: Why did it fail?

: The downfall of the encomienda system began when Dominican missionaries initiated
protesting the abuse of the native people by Spanish colonists.

: They observed that the encomenderos neglected their duty of teaching the Christian
faith to the Filipinos and were only interested in enriching themselves instead.

: Eventually, Filipinos grew tired of the system that only benefited the Spaniards. The
encomienda system was ended legally in 1720, when the crown attempted to abolish the
institution. The encomenderos were then required to pay remaining encomienda laborers for
their work. With this, the system lost its effectiveness and was gradually replaced by the
hacienda system of landed estates

HACIENDA

Slide 12: The system was designed to keep people that were in debt working on a piece of
land. People working on haciendas were made to stay there as long as possible using various
means.

Slide 13: WHEN DID HACIENDA SYSTEM START? The haciendas were part of an ambitious land-
grant scheme by the Spanish crown begun in the 17th and 18th century, as a way to reward
conquistadors, Spanish nobles, and others for their loyalty to the king. The haciendas served in
producing surplus for the consumption of the colonialists and imposing control in the
communities.

Slide 14: The hacienda system was widespread in Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Colombia,
Guatemala, Peru, El Salvador, and New Granada, but it also existed in Puerto Rico and the
Philippines.

: A lot of haciendas were used as mines, factories, or plantations, and some combined
all of these activities.

: In this social organization, the landlords were sitting at the top of the system while the
workers were at the bottom. Haciendas were traditionally organized in a clear hierarchy that
was inspired by paternalistic societies.
Slide 15: HOW WERE WORKERS TREATED IN THE HACIENDA SYSTEM? The hacienderos took
paternalistic care of "their" people pretty much from cradle to grave, serving as godparents,
paying their medical bills, and occasionally bailing them out of jail.

: In return, they demanded and received complete subservience based on

sharecropping and the "company store" model.

Slide 16: How did HACIENDA system impact natives?

: Natives who resisted colonization were displaced and escaped to areas where the
colonial government's control was weak. They eventually joined the armed uprisings against
the colonizers. They were hunted as "bandits" for resisting the invaders.

: Hacienderos aided the Spanish colonizers in pacifying the native inhabitants.

Slide 17: POSITIVE and negative EFFECTS OF THE HACIENDA SYSTEM

: On a positive note, as early as the 1850s, sugar was introduced in the Philippines and
became a subsistence crop among early Filipino farmers. In the 1860s, Negros Occidental was
the leading sugar producing province in the Philippines. Because of this, the hacienda system
that evolved in Negros was built on sharecropping and debt relations. The rich sugar families,
all of which has Spanish roots, created a classic hacienda system much like the Latin American
model. But up to this day, Negros Occidental earned its title and is known as the "sugar bowl
of the Philippines." so it is somehow a good effect to the country's economy.

: On the negative side, The Hacienda System was designed to benefit the rich and
powerful, as the owners of the land continued to earn money workers who rented their land,
continued to toil away to the benefits of the landlords.  

Slide 18: Is the Hacienda System still evident today?

: In the Philippines, the hacienda system and lifestyles were influenced by the Spanish
colonization for more than 300 years. Many farmers do not even own the land they work.
Instead, landlords own the land, and the farmers work for them. This hacienda culture is one
that the Philippines inherited from the Spanish and is still evident up to this day. Despite
attempts to reform the system, poverty in the Philippines is widespread
