    The document is a 3-paragraph essay from the perspective of a writer during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines.

In the second paragraph, the writer states that life for Filipinos under Spanish rule was difficult, as they were treated like slaves and Spanish soldiers raped children and teenagers. The third paragraph discusses how the Spanish similarly mistreated native populations in the Americas, subjecting them to harsh labor and imposing their religion.

    Activity 4.
    If you were a write during the Spanish Period, what would be your message to the Filipinos? Express
    this by writing a 3-paragraph essay.

    Spanish colonial motives were not, however, strictly commercial. The Spanish at first viewed the
    Philippines as a stepping-stone to the riches of the East Indies (Spice Islands), but, even after the
    Portuguese and Dutch had foreclosed that possibility, the Spanish still maintained their presence in
    the archipelago.
    I would say, the life of the Filipino during Spanish period is hard. they treat Filipino as a slaves/
    Spanish soldiers are raping kids and teenage girls, the government of the Philippines are subservient
    to high-ranking Spanish people.
    They invaded the land of the native Americans, treating them in an unfriendly and violent manner
    when they arrived. The effects of colonization on the native populations in the New World were
    mistreatment of the natives, harsh labour for them, and new ideas about religion for the Spaniards.
