So class, I will going to discuss the Evolution of Philippine Politics from

Pre-Colonial Period up to present government in the Philippines.

We will going to talk about what happened during the Pre colonial to
Spanish Occupation included there the Spanish American War and also
the Philippine American War, the Commonwealth Government, also
the Philippine Republic, The Martial Law Era before we go to the Recent
and present time of our government.
Okay, Let’s start with the Pre-Colonial Period, the pre-colonial is the
time before the Spanish came to Philippines. According to the history,
Barangay was the earliest form of government. In ana ka gamay ang
atung government during the pre colonial period. The term barangay is
came from the word balangay. During the pre colonial period, The datu
ruled the government, the datu decides the rules and regulation of the
country.
Spanish Occupation, it was the time that the Spaniards came to
Philippines. The Spanish at first viewed the Philippines as a stepping
stone to the riches of the East Indies (Spice Island) dahil nga Philippines
is rich in natural resources, They saw Philippines as the source of
commercial. Dumating ang grupo ni Magellan na isang Portuguese na
siyang naka discover sa Pilipinas. Eventually he died and his exploration
did not continue but then the Spanish country did not stop in sending
people one of them is Miguel Lopez de Legazpi who established the first
permanent Spanish Settlement. Aside from that, isa pod sa gigamit ng
mga Spaniards to conquer Philippines is the Catholicism. They use the
religion Catholicism to baptized the people of the Philippines. The
Spanish city of Manila was founded in 1571, and by the end of the 16 th
century most of the coastal and lowland areas from Luzon to northern
Mindanao were under the Spanish control. So, in ana kadalai nasakop
ng mga Spaniards and Philippines. Because the government during that
time was not organized kaya dali ra kaau ta nasakop sa mga Spaniards.
READ THE SLIDE
Kaya nga during Spanish occupation, nasakop nila ang malaking bahagi
ng Luzon, Visayas, at ilang bahagi ng Mindanao pero dili tanan
Mindanao because of the Moros or the Muslims in Mindanao fight for
their own right and territory. So how they lead the Philippines? Of
course they start with evangelization after nakuha nila ang loob ng mga
Pilipino so they started sa kanilang pamumuno by paying the tax o
tribute. So niabot sa time nga paying tax is not effective anymore
therefore nagtalaga sila ng Governor-general ag King of Spain to ruled
the Philippines. The graft and corruption was started when the time na
nasakop ta sa mga Spaniards. But it doesn’t mean nga since ang
governor general ang nag govern sa Philippines ay wana nilambu ang
Piipinas in terms of commerce because ang Pilipinas ang nahimong
center of commercial nahimong mas dominated ng Manila sa
kalakalang Galleon.
READ SLIDES
Governor general and Archbishop for political supremacy
It is being practiced even in Europe that there is a leader for the
government and a leader for the church and both have different ways
in terms of government. So, lahi ang pamaagi sa ilang pag dumala sa
Pilipinas.
So, they vied for supremacy if kinsa bajud sa ila ang toohan sa mga tao.
Read the 2nd stanza in the slide
So mas nahimong mas powerful ang simbahan compare to governor
general.
Read the 3rd stanza in the slides
So mas dghan na ang leader sa church and because they have the right
and power nga mamuno naan a pod silay guards, So mao toy nahimong
way na mas napalawak nila ang ilang pag sakop sa Philippines.
Read the slides
Late 18th century- So there is a change of ideology in Europe but since
Philippines kay na conquer man sa Spain so nagbabago din ang atung
ideology.
In terms of Education not until 1863 read the slides. Siguro kaya ang
uban nga mga history ng Pre historic time or Pre Spanish era ay wla tay
enough knowledge its because sineal na ito ng mga Spaniards marahil
ang mga gamit sa education if there is during the pre Spanish period ay
wala na. Since they have the control with the curriculum, so sila ang
magboot kng unsa ray itudlo sa mga estudyante.
By the 1880s many sons of the wealthy were sent to Europe to study
So nay mga Pilipinos nga nay kakayahan nga magpdala ug mga student
abroad doon nag start ang pagkakaroon natin ng Nationalism at
patriotism because of the students who studied abroad because they
saw the different political ideologies na ilang na eskwelahan na ang
kind of government ng mga Spaniards sa Pilipinas during that time is
hindi katanggap taggap So nationalism and a passion for reform
blossomed in the liberal atmosphere. So nag karoon ng movement, and
one of the famous movement is the Propaganda movement where in
they did not use dahas but instead they use periodiko ang atong mga
National Heroes in order na maiparating sa mga tao ang kabuktonan ng
pamamahala ng mga Spaniards so naay nahitabu nga pag published sa
mga klac klac nga mga periodiko at novels specifically the La Liga
Filipina, Noli and El fili.
** Shocked by the arrest of Rizal in 1982, read the whole stanza…
So nibalik na sa Philippines ang mga nag skwela sa Europe and they are
able to talk with the Filipinos during Spanish Occupation and one of
them is Andres Bonifacio. So when the time nga gidakop si Rizal nabuo
ang kilusan na Katipunan so this was the time nga nag start ang
Revolution ng mga Filipinos laban sa mga Spaniards.
** Read the slide in August 1896 up to the last stanza.
So nagplano na ang mga Pilipino for revolt during the time how ever
kaya lang it was being uncover by the Spaniards kaya instead na
muatras sila, gipadayun nlng sa mga Katipuneros ang laban.
** Read the slide in December 1897, up to the last stanza.
With high hopes of reforms padung sa Hongkong wla nahitabu ang
gisaad sa mga Spaniards kang Aguinaldo because of that nagkaroon ng
distrust ang mga Pilipino sa mga Spaniards and naa pay nahitabu nga
mga clashes and panag away or pag continue sa revolution.

So let us proceed to Spanish American War

So, nihinay na ang force sa mga Spaniards and mas nikusog ang force sa
uban forces like US.
Tungod sa gipakita nga kamaayu sa mga Americans to the Fiipinos
nakuha nila ang sympathy ang loob ni Aguinaldo para magkaroon ng
reorganization of forces and that was the time nga na declare ang
Independence Philippines from the Spanish colonial.
Philippine American War
So because of that, nakuha naba ng Pilipinas ang absolute nga
Kalayaan? The answer is wala pa because nisulod nasab ang America sa
Philippines and naa nasab nahitabu nga Philippine American war.
** Read the slides U.S troops had landed up to the last 2nd stanza.
So murag front ras mga Americans ang pag help nila kang Aguinaldo
nafeel na sa mga leaders natu sa Philippines kaya naa nasab conflict nga
nahitabu between the Philippines and Americans.
Tungod kay napildi and Spain and seemingly ang nipildi sa ilaha ay mga
Amaricano naay nahitabu nga agreement sa Paris on Dec. 10, 1898 mao
ni ang gitawag nga Treaty of Paris, wherein isa sa part aning treaty ay
ibaligya sa Spain ang Philippines sa Amerika, so technically ang nanag
iya napod sa Philippines ay ang Americans. So ang declaration sa
Independence ay dili jud sya absolute. So still there is no sovereignty sa
Philippines.
Proceed to Commonwealth
So, this time naa pa gihapon ang US pra iguide o wla pman gihapon
nahatag ang absolute sovereignty sa Philippines. So in commonwealth
time ‘read the slide-Manuel L. Quezon up to the last part which is the
U.S President.
Technically ang US pa ghapon ang nag governed sa Philippines. But
there is an Act na isinulong ng US wherein it is endorsed by Manuel
Quezon na kung saan magbibigay ng panahon sa atung country nga
makapagsarili so this 10 year period was beyond opportunity for the
Philippines to draft our own constitution and there by after that
granting our absolute independence.
During commonwealth period naay nahitabu nga World war 2.
So during the early republic, after the world war 2 there is a fluidity of
politics.
