    PHIILIPPINE DEMOCRATIC

    POLITICS
    PRE-COLONIAL TO PRESENT
    “Leadership is not about titles,
    positions, or flowcharts. It is about
    one life influencing another”
    - John C. Maxwell
    PRE-COLONIAL
    Misconceptions:
    PRE-COLONIAL/PRE-SPANISH ERA

     NO POLITICS
     POLITICAL ISSUES AND
    CONCERNS ARE CAUSED BY
    COLONIZATION
    Types of Unhispanized societies
    (Scott, 1979)
     Classless societies – small, no elections,
    leader comes whenever an activity arises
     Warrior societies – warrior-leaders,
    presence of hostilities trigger the emergence
    Types of Unhispanized societies
    (Scott, 1979)
     Petty plutocracies – clear divisions, ruler comes
    from privileged class or after proving one’s self
     Principalities - clear class of leaders through the
    datus or sultans; political organizations brought by
    Islam; strongest political entity during the pre-
    colonial era
    BARANGAY SYSTEM
     The Barangay is the smallest political unit in
    the pre-Spanish era. It came from the word
    “Balangay” which was a boat used by our
    ancestors to sail to the Philippines.
     The society has its own set of culture and
    civilization
    BARANGAY SYSTEM
     The Datu is the most powerful person with
    executive, legislative and judicial powers
     Usually, a person can become a Datu through the
    following:
    Inheritance
    Wealth
    Bravery
    BARANGAY SYSTEM
     Laws are usually based on “lex taliones” –
    “an eye for a n eye, a tooth for a tooth”.
     Laws are made known to the public though
    the Umalohokan
     The elderly people are considered as the
    advisers of the Datu
    BARANGAY SYSTEM

     Barter system is the usual act of trade


     Agriculture is the main source of livelihood
     The people in the barangay usually give
    tribute to the Datu in the form of crops or
    agricultural products
    The Onset of Spanish Conquest
     During the 13th to 15th century, Venice was the center for
    trade. Products especially spices from Asia are bought at
    a very cheap price but sold in Europe at a luxurious price.
    Trade between the West and the East was possible
    through the Silk Road. When the Turks occupied the
    Constantinople (now Turkey), trade became impossible.
    This compelled expeditions in search of new routes for
    trade.
    The Onset of Spanish Conquest
     Portugal and Spain were the two super power countries during
    this period. They set expeditions for discovery of new routes and
    new lands.
     Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese, proposed to the King of
    Portugal that he could go to the East and find the Moluccas
    (Spice Islands)by traveling to the West. It was rejected as the
    belief before was the Earth is flat so you cannot arrive at the East
    if you sailed Westward. He then proposed it to the King of Spain
    which was accepted and so he sailed towards the East by
    travelling to the West.
    The Onset of Spanish Conquest
     He then arrived at the Islands of the Philippines on March 16, 1521 where
    he first met the natives. He realized that it was not the Moluccas but he still
    declared the sovereignty of Spain. First Catholic mass and Conversion of
    the natives were conducted. However, on April 1521, he died in a combat
    against Lapu-Lapu who refused to be under the control of a foreign rule.
     Sebastian del Cano led the expedition back to Spain but he did not sail back
    to the route Magellan took before going to the Philippines. Fortunately, they
    were able to go back to Spain and proved that the Earth is not flat because
    they did circumnavigate the world. Magellan-del Cano made record as the
    very first circumnavigation of the world.
    The Beginning of Spanish Conquest
     Spain sent other expeditions to conquer the Philippines
    but it was Legazpi who successfully conquered the
    islands.
     Divide et impera was the strategy used to easily conquer
    the Filipinos. Policy of Attraction also made help.
    Archipelagic nature of the country also contributed to the
    fall of the Filipinos to Spain.
     Reduccion was established to easily monitor the people
    and avoid possible uprisings.
    The Government during the Spanish Era
     The Spanish King ruled the Islands through the Viceroy of Mexico (a colony of
    Spain) until 1821.

     With the rise of the Ilustrados and the opening of Suez Canal
    which made possible all the products and ideas mostly from the
    West to arrive in the country, people became aware of their sense
    of nationalism.
     Propagandists like Rizal, Jaena and Del Pilar sought for reforms
    in order to help their countrymen in the Philippines
     Bonifacio organized the KKK which was almost successful if
    not for its untimely discovery that led to the 1896 Revolution.
    Filipino-Spanish War (August 1896 – June 1898)

    declared the independence of the country hoisting the
    Philippine flag at Kawit, Cavite.
    American Plot
     The final battle between the Spaniards and the
    Filipinos was set on August 1898 but America took
    the spotlight and did not allow the Filipinos to go in
    the battlefields.

    other Spanish colonies to America under the
