    LESSON 6

    Politics in the Pre- Spanish to


    Spanish Period
    “Leadership is not about titles,
    positions or

    flowcharts. It is about one life


    influencing

    another.”

    - John C.
    Maxwell

    REPORTER: HARVEY MONTESER


    There are two misconceptions about Philippine politics
    that must be corrected. First, that there was no politics in
    the Philippines prior to colonization period. By definition of
    politics, whenever a group is formed and leaders are
    chosen, there is already a play of power even without the
    group being aware of such concept. Additionally, there are
    accounts or records that prove the existence of politics in
    the Philippines prior to colonization period.

    The second misconception is that every issue or


    problem we have in politics and governance was caused by
    colonization. This is not true since a lot of political issues
    and concerns we have this day can be traced back even
    before colonization.

    REPORTER: HARVEY MONTESER


    The first type is the classless societies, or
    communities that are so small that they do not
    have the need to elect a leader. The need for a
    leader only comes with the facilitation of hunting,
    but after every expedition, the appointed leader
    loses his power. The second type is the warrior
    societies who have a defined warrior class who are
    also appointed leaders for legislation , inter- ethnic
    relations, and judicial matters. These communities
    are relatively larger than the first and have more
    or less hostile relations with other groups, thus the
    need for the warrior class.

    REPORTER: IVAN REYTERAN


    The third type is the pretty plutocracies where there is a
    clear division of economic class. In most instances, the ruler of
    such communities comes from the privileged class, though
    being a ruler also means having proven oneself to be of service
    the community. The last type would be the principalities where
    there is a clear class of leaders through the datus or sultans.
    Most often, these communities follow the political organization
    that was brought by Islam and is the strongest and most
    organized political entity in Philippine pre- colonial history
    (Scott 1979).

    From Scott’s research, we are able to see the pre-


    colonial politics was molded by community needs and the
    external influences of the Muslim and the Indian traders and
    settlers in the country.

    REPORTER: MARIA ELAIZA COMENDADOR


    During the pre- colonial period, the areas and the groups in the
    Philippines that the Spaniards were able to occupy and influence have
    experienced a radical change in politics and governance. Indigenous
    political systems in hispanized areas were removed and replaced by
    the colonial form of government for easier management. Hispanized
    areas in the Philippines became tied to the government in Spain with
    the king as head, followed by the viceroy in Latin America (Gripaldo et
    al. 2005).

    Communities were arranged according to the reduccion policy


    that centralized settlements around colonial institutions, such as the
    church and municipal halls. The governor general became the head of
    the colony, followed by the alcaldes and corregimientos,
    gobernadorcillos, and cabeza de barangays (Gripaldo et al. 2005).
