Depends On The Computation in 05 Worksheet 2: Property of STI

The Spaniards partook in a blood pact with precolonial Filipinos as a strategic political move to gain allies against resisting tribes. The blood pact allowed the Spaniards to bond with and gain the trust of native Filipinos. While the ilustrados viewed the blood pact as a contract between equals, the Spaniards saw it as a way to assert power over the Filipinos and gain their allegiance to the Spanish crown. The blood pact opened the door for the initial relationship that eventually led to the conversion of Filipinos to Catholicism through Spain's configurations of language and interpretations of the ritual.
