    The document discusses the impacts of Spanish colonial rule over the Philippines for 333 years. While the Spanish introduced aspects of governance and connected the Philippines to the wider world, they did so through violent means like executing native religions and preventing independent development. The author argues the Spanish primarily exploited the land and people for resources, eradicated cultural identity, and imposed excessive control rather than positively shaping Filipino identity. Overall, the Spanish rule robbed Filipinos of their freedom and prevented the nation from progressing under its own power and cultural traditions.

    The Colonus Effect”


    As a tropical land, the country Philippines is considered rich due to its immense
    amount of natural resources which is why numerous foreign countries have
    colonized it. And the notable Spanish wanderer Ferdinand Magellan was the
    preface of our colonial history, the birth of the Spanish era. For 333 years, the
    Philippines was under the Spanish rule, did it only bring hardships to Filipinos
    or is it what shaped us to become who we are?
    After pondering about the topic for this paper, I asked my sister about the
    positive impacts of the Spanish ruling present she notices. And her first
    statement was that we are able to establish a political system competent
    enough for a united country. But based in the early history of the Philippines,
    early civilizations were present when Magellan arrived called barangays which
    consisted of social and political organization, even trading was observed
    especially civilizations near water; this is one of the reasons why Spain
    colonized the country in the first place. But for me, all they did was spread
    their blood among the government officials in order to assert power and
    governance.
    After, she said that we were able to establish connections and be included in
    the world, which was the second reason as to why the Spanish colonized us, to
    acquire a share in the spice trade and form connections to China and Japan.
    But these was already observed in the early history of the Philippines, the
    civilizations have already established a trading system both inside and outside
    the country using the barter system and is proven thru the items used by the
    native Filipinos acquired only on the neighboring country such as silk.
    Lastly, she said that we were able to have a spiritual identity which is a huge
    factor as to why Filipinos have the good attitude and strong beliefs known
    around the world. I do agree that our conversion became the birth of our love
    to God, but native Filipinos have their own religion already, worshipping
    different gods and goddesses thru anitos and anitas. The Spanish did not make
    us believe and perform conversion; they forced the religion unto us and
    executed the old religion among the people who decided not to convert.
    It is irrefutable that the Spanish introduced quality education and literature,
    and made us united as a country under their control, but the hundred years of
    literal slavery and of the system present in the country is absolute. For me, all
    the Spanish did is prevent our original country from developing by its own
    capability, extinguish the old identity of our nation, and execute excessive
    control on the native people and exploit our natural resources. We should
    remember that our history is what shapes us but we should also remember
    that our freedom was robbed definitely. Because as Sidney Hook said,
    “Tolerance always has limits, and it cannot tolerate what is itself actively
    intolerant.”
