While the boys took courses
on Philosophy, Rhetorics,
History, some Sciences.
The girls attended finishing
schools which trained them
for their proper roles as
women in society: sewing,
embroidery, singing,
dancing, playing the piano.
Hispanized the Elite
They became Spanish in speech, dress, manners, in
their lifestyle. They felt more closer to the
Spaniards than to the lower class Filipinos
They also became Spanish in sentiments. Most of
the elite accepted and believed in the necessity of
Spanish rule. That it was Spanish rule that gave
the Filipinos civilization. That without Spanish
rule, the country would fell into ruins.
5. Making the Indio
[Indio is the name given for Filipinos during the Spanish period.]
From Timagua (freeman) to Subject
Under Spanish rule:
Paid tributes (taxes) – eight reales (one
peso) annually in money or in kind
(rice, cotton cloth, gold, even chicken).
In 1884, tribute was replaced by the
cedula (individual tax).
The Indios also:
Worked on government projects (polo or forced
labor) – each year a Filipino (18-60 yrs old)
worked for 40 days. In the 19th century,
shortened to 15 days. Polistas worked in groups
building roads, bridges, churches, town halls,
hospitals, and in shipyards for the government.
Observed the Bandala – planted crops according to
the orders of the government and sells the
harvest to the government too.
Thus, the arrival of the Spaniards created a
new period in Philippine history:
1. Spanish did not replace the local languages, but
other aspects of Filipino culture were Hispanized:
food, dress, houses, economy, entertainment.
2. The formerly independent barangays (kingdoms)
were united under the colony called Las Islas
Felipinas under the administration of a governor-
general (the Spanish king’s representative).
3. The animistic religion was replaced by
Catholicism.
