    1.Explain the significance of the study (history).

     We may learn about the construction, operation, and evolution of previous


    civilizations, economies, philosophies, states, traditions, and inventions through
    studying history.
     It can establish your historical experience entails gaining a better understanding
    of all these diverse facets of life.
     History provides a greater appreciation of diversity.
     To gain insight into how our ancestors communicated with people who lived in
    varied ways.
     So that we can learn about the inspiring experiences that led to where we are
    now.

    2.Describe the Filipino community in Pre-Spanish time.


     The Spaniards introduced economic policies centered on land possession and
    taxation. Encomienda, hacienda, imposition of various tariffs, galleon exchange,
    monopoly, and polo y servicios are among the programs.
     Landlords are known as encomenderos. They are the ones who receive taxes or
    rent from the people who live on their land.
     Several types of taxation and monopolies were introduced to help fund the
    colony.
     The tithe is the charge to the government of 10% of an individual's taxable
    income.
     By 1884, the Cedula personal, which allowed colonists to pay for personal
    identification, had replaced the tribute.

    3.Discuss the government system in the Philippines before the Spanish colonization.
     Before the arrival of Spanish colonizers, the people of the Philippines had
    already established a semicommunal and semislave social structure in many
    areas, as well as a feudal system in others, especially in Mindanao and Sulu,
    where a feudal faith known as Islam had already taken root. In some areas, a
    chief was known as a datu, and in others, he was known as a rajah, sultan, or
    hadji. The citizens of the barangay were divided into four classes: the nobles
    (maharlika), the freemen (timawa), the serfs (aliping namamhay), and the slaves
    (aliping namamhay) (aliping sagigilid). Written and unwritten rules existed among
    the early Filipinos. The datus was the one that enacted the written laws. The
    “Maragtas Code,” written about 1250 A.D. by Datu Sumakwel of Panay, and the
    Kalantiaw Code, written in 1433 A.D. by Datu Kalantiaw, also of Panay, are the
    two known written codes from the pre-Spanish period.
    4.Will you consider the Filipinos a civilized people before the Spanish came to the
    Philippines?
     Yes, the inhabitants of these islands really were civilized before the Spaniards
    arrived. In these islands, we have about 16 separate writing scripts used for
    different languages, and many merchants learned how to speak Malay, the
    Southeast Asian trading language at the time. The pre-colonial inhabitants of
    these islands have a sense of style, with clothing that incorporates both local and
    foreign features. Many people knew goldsmithing back then, and many of them
    could create gold works of art. The Philippines' pre-colonial inhabitants have
    always had contact with foreigners, such as Chinese, Malays, and Indians.

    5.Explain why the Philippines was considered “Pearl of the Orient Seas” by Rev. Fr.
    Delgado and Dr. Jose Rizal.
     Prior to the Philippines' independence, World War II broke out, and another
    power, Japan, annexed the country. What motivated those countries to attempt
    to conquer the Philippines? It was due to the well-known natural beauty of the
    region. It is known as "The Pearl of the Orient Sea" or "Perla del Mar de Oriente"
    in Spanish, a term that was first used in 1751. This word gained popularity after
    National Hero Jose Rizal used it in his final poem, "Mi ultimo adios," before his
    death in 1896.

    6.Discuss why our country was easily conquered by the Spaniards.


     The Spaniards took full advantage of the Philippines' still fragmented population
    and conquered them effortlessly.
     The barangays were dispersed and lacked a centralized political or religious
    structure to bring them together.
     Due to linguistic diversity, there was a lack of coordination between ethics fields.
     Willingness to work along with Spaniards.
     Spanish arms and fighting art are superior.

    7.Explain how the Spanish occupation changed our country’s history and affects the life
    of the Filipinos.
     Filipinos became exposed to Western culture as a result of Spanish influences.
    Clothing, cooking, eating practices, modes of entertainment, Spanish vocabulary,
    and Christianity were all introduced by the Spanish way of life, resulting in a
    mingling of Spanish and Filipino cultural elements. Over time, a hybrid of the two
    cultures, which was neither native nor Spanish, emerged as the dominant group.
     Many with Christian surnames used Spanish names, which were normally saints'
    names. As a result, a child was given the name Santo Tomas, San Gregorio, or
    San Andres, and so on.

    8.Describe the Political system established by the Spanish Authorities in our country.
     In the Philippines, Spain created a consolidated colonial government consisting
    of a national government and local governments that governed provinces,
    counties, towns, and municipalities. The national government kept law and order,
    raised taxes, and established schools and other public works with the help of
    local councils. The governor general, as the King's representative and the
    Philippines' highest-ranking official, ensured that royal decrees and laws from
    Spain were carried out in the Philippines. Except for those directly selected by
    the King, he had the authority to nominate and replace elected officials. He was
    also in charge of both government departments and tax collection.
    9.Discuss the economic changes of our country during Spanish occupation.
     About the fact that our social and cultural lives changed under Spain, our
    economic situation did not. During our time as a Spanish colony, the Filipinos
    reaped only a small profit from Spain's economic changes. The Spaniards were
    the ones who gained the most, not the Filipinos. One of the causes of the
    Philippine revolution was the slow growth of our country's resources. Under
    Spanish rule, the Filipinos' economic fortunes did not change significantly.
    10.Explain why the Filipinos were not happy during the Spanish occupation.
     The Spanish conquered the northern and central islands' coastal regions, but not
    the southern islands, where Islam was firmly entrenched, or the jungle interior
    and highlands, where indigenous peoples, including headhunters, successfully
    repelled Spanish incursions. Chinese merchants attracted by economic
    prospects and Spanish officials became the most high-status and wealthy
    classes of citizens. They intermarried with the locals, resulting in the creation of a
    modern and distinct community.
     While the Philippines were governed by the Viceroyalty of New Spain in present-
    day Mexico, the Philippines were ruled by the Catholic Church in several
    respects. Other than through the church, most Filipinos had no experience with
    the Spanish.
