character development and the encouragement of a well-rounded, responsible
citizen

those who are poor and disadvantaged- this aim is to enable people to take up
roles as peace warriors and advocates for positive change

B I would choose complete separation from colonial country because after knowing the
struggles Philippines was going through at that time is unimaginable . voices was suppressed,
racial discrimination was there and people who want reforms was killed . So reforms and being
a province of spain never stand a chance for me. The main reason for a total separation is the
form of exploitation the country was subjected toforced labor, and cultural repression. The
inhabitants of the Philippines became deeply unhappy as a result. Exploitation of natural
resources of Philippines like British did to india. The Philippines was rich in resources, which the
Spanish colonial authority frequently exploited for Spain's gain while the native population's
standard of living barely changed. The Filipinos' complaints were made worse by this economic
disparities. Religious control of Spanish in Philippines The role the Catholic Church played in the
Philippines, which had a majority Catholic population, caused friction. The Spanish government
frequently repressed the religious and cultural practices that the Filipinos sought more
authority over.
