I. Introduction

Courtesy: Biblioteca Nacional de España

The 19th century (1801-1900) was a century of changes and filled of turning points in our history
and identity. It was this time when a lot of changes happened in aspects of political, economical and
social. The nationalist sentiments awakened, a propaganda movement started, a national anti-colonial
movement and revolution ignited, and our independence declared.

II. Lesson Proper

A. Economic Conditions
.
During the 19th century, the Philippines’ economic condition gave rise to Haciendas or the
“cash-crop economy”. Where large parts of lands would be used for crops considered as cash-
crop. Some cash-crops are: Sugar, Tobacco, Abaka, and Coffee. Being open to world trade
and having these products abundant in the Philippines, the Philippines became a major
exporter for these products and became well-known in other parts of the world. By these
events, there was a shift from barter system to moneyed economy.

The number of families which prospered from foreign commerce and trade were able to send
their sons for an education in Europe. Filipinos who were educated abroad were able to absorb
the intellectual development in Europe.

B. Social Conditions

The Filipinos in the 19th century had suffered from feudalistic and master slave relationship by
the Spaniards. Their social structure is ranked into three groups:

1. Highest class – the people that belong in this class include the Spaniards, peninsulares
and the friars. They have the power and authority to rule over the Filipinos. They enjoyed their
positions and do what they want.

→ The Spanish officials

→ The Peninsulares (Spaniards who were born in Spain). They held the most important
government jobs, and made up the smallest number of the population.

→ The Friars are members of any of certain religious orders of men, especially the four
mendicant orders (Augustinians, Carmelites, Dominicans, and Franciscans).

2. Middle Class – the people that belongs into this class includes the natives, mestizos and
the criollos.

→ Natives – the pure Filipinos

→ The Mestizos - are the Filipinos of mixed indigenous Filipino or European or Chinese
ancestry.

→ Criollos/Insulares - European descent but born in the colonies of Spain. A son or


daughter of a Spanish couple is an insulare.

3. Lowest Class – this class includes the Filipinos only.

→The Indios are the poor people having pure blood Filipino which ruled by the Spaniards.

C. Political Conditions
The Spaniards ruled the Filipinos in the 19th century. The Filipinos became the Spaniard’s slave.
The Spaniards claimed their taxes and they worked under the power of the Spaniards.

1. The Gobernador y capitan-general was the representative of the King of Spain in the Islands,
also the commander-in-chief of the army and navy, president of the Real Audiencia or the
Supreme Court, and the vice-real patron who appoints someone over ecclesiastical position.
The Intramuros was the seat of government, religion, and economy.

2. The alcalde mayores headed the provinces.

3. While the gobernadorcillo was the counterpart of today’s municipal mayor.

4. The cabeza de barangay was then part of kadatuan and was a tax and contributions
collector for the gobernadorcillo.

The Filipinos only held the gobernadorcillo and cabeza de barangay positions.

Sources of Abuses in the Administrative System:

1. There was an appointment of officials with inferior qualifications, without dedication of duty
and moral strength to resist corruption for material advancement. Through the power and
authority the Spaniards possess, they collected and wasted the money of the Filipinos.

2. There were too complicated functions to the unions of the church and the state.

3. Manner of obtaining the position.

Through the power that the Spaniards possess, they had the right to appoint the different
positions. The appointment of positions is obtained by the highest bidder which is the Governor-
general of the country.
4. Term of office

Term of office or term in office is the length of time a person (usually a politician) serves in a
particular office is dependent on the desire of the King of the country.

5. Distance of the colony


The Spanish officials traveled to various places and the needs of the Philippines were
ignored. They did not put too much attention to the needs of the other people. There were
inadequate administrative supervisions, they were unable to face and solve the problems
regarding to the Philippines. There were also overlapping of powers and privileges of officials
which made them competitive.

6. Personal interest over the welfare of the State

III. Summary/ Essential Learning
