Philippine revolts against Spain
 Several indigenous Moro, Lumad, Indians, Chinese (Sangleys), and Insulares

(Filipinos of full or near full Spanish descent) revolted against the Spanish
colonial government in the Philippines from 1521 to 1898, with the goal of re-
establishing the rights and powers that had traditionally belonged to Lumad
Timueys, Maginoo Rajah, and Moro Datus.
 Some insurgencies were sparked by land disputes, which were particularly
prevalent in the agricultural provinces of Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, and Laguna.
Natives also revolted against unfair taxation and forced labor.
 The bulk of these uprisings failed because the local population sided with the
well-armed colonial authorities and fought with Spanish foot soldiers to put down
the uprisings.
Dagami Revolt (1565–1567)
 The Dagami Uprising was a revolt launched by the Dagami family, who migrated
from the island of Leyte in 1567.[2] It featured a group of 16 people commanded
by Dagami, who was the chieftain of Gabi (part of the present-day municipality of
Palo).
 The first event occurred on May 23, 1565 in Cebu, when the group ambushed
Pedro de Arana, an aide to Spanish Governor of the Philippines Miguel López de
Legazpi. Dagami was the mastermind behind a series of attacks that perplexed
authorities for a time.
Lakandula and Sulayman Revolt (1574)
 The Lakandula and Sulayman Revolt, also known as the Tagalog Revolt, took
place in Tondo, Manila, in 1574, and was led by Lakandula and Rajah Sulayman.
The insurrection took place the same year when the Chinese pirate Limahong
invaded Intramuros, a palisaded but poorly guarded enclosure. Miguel Lopez de
Legazpi had broken his side of the bargain, therefore Sulayman and Lakandula
revolted.
 In exchange for recognizing Spanish rule, Legazpi told Soliman and Lakandula
(and their subjects) that they would retain some local autonomy, be exempt from
paying tribute, and be treated properly. Legazpi did not follow through on his
commitments.
Pampanga Revolt (1585)
 The Pampanga Revolt occurred in 1585, when certain local Kapampangan leaders
revolted against Spanish landowners, or encomenderos, who had taken away their
historical land inheritances as tribal chiefs or Datus.
 A scheme to storm Intramuros was hatched during the uprising, but it was
thwarted before it could begin when a Filipino woman married to a Spanish
soldier disclosed the idea to the Spanish authorities. Governor-General Santiago
de Vera dispatched Spanish and Filipino colonial soldiers, and Christian Cruz-
Herrera seized and summarily murdered the revolt's leaders.
Conspiracy of the Maharlikas (1587–
1588)
 The Maharlika Conspiracy, also known as the Tondo Conspiracy, was a
conspiracy by Manila's kin-related noblemen, or datus, and certain municipalities
in Bulacan and Pampanga between 1587 and 1588.
 It was led by Agustin de Legazpi, Lakandula's nephew, and Martin Pangan, his
first cousin. The datus vowed to rise up. The insurrection was put down when
Antonio Surabao (Susabau) of Calamianes, Palawan, denounced them to the
Spanish authorities .
Revolts Against the Tribute (1589)
 In 1589, the Cagayan and Dingras Revolts Against the Tribute took place on
Luzon, in the provinces of Cagayan and Ilocos Norte, respectively. Ilocanos,
Ibanags, and other Filipinos protested against tax collectors' alleged abuses, which
included the collecting of exorbitant taxes.
 Six tax collectors from Vigan were slain by the indigenous when they arrived. To
appease the insurgents, Governor-General Santiago de Vera dispatched Spanish
and Filipino colonial troops. The insurgents were subsequently pardoned, and the
Philippine tax system was overhauled.
Magalat Revolt (1596)[edit]
 The Magalat Revolt was a revolt launched by Magalat, a Cagayan rebel, in 1596.
He'd been detained in Manila for inciting anti-Spanish dissent. After some
Dominican priests pleaded with him, he was liberated and returned to Cagayan.
He urged the entire country to revolt, along with his brother.
 For refusing to rise up against the Spaniards, he was claimed to have perpetrated
crimes on his fellow indigenous. He quickly seized control of the land, and the
Spanish were eventually surrounded. Francisco de Tello de Guzmán, the Spanish
Governor-General, dispatched Pedro de Chaves from Manila with Spanish and
Filipino colonial troops. They defeated the insurgents and captured and executed
numerous rebel leaders under Magalat's command. Magalat was slain by his own
soldiers within his guarded headquarters .
Igorot Revolt (1601)
 On the orders of Governor-General Francisco de Tello de Guzmán, an expedition

was dispatched to the Cordillera region with the assistance of Padre Esteban
Marin with the objective of religious conversion.
 Marin, the curate of Ilocos at the time, attempted to persuade the Igorots to
peacefully convert to Catholicism. Marin is said to have attempted to build his
own Igorot lexicon in order to further his cause.
 Marin was murdered by the Igorots, so the Governor-General dispatched Lt.
Mateo de Aranda with Spanish and Filipino foot soldiers. The combined force
would be beaten, but the Spanish would continue to use harsher measures to force
the Igorots to submit (including slavery).
The Chinese Revolt of 1603
 At least 30,000 Chinese merchants were slaughtered in 1603, and Chinese

officials and civilians in Luzon were killed without authorization by the barbarous
Spanish chieftain of Luzon at the time, according to The Ming Shi-lu (, Mng
shlù).
 The remaining Chinese fled to Wawa, or what is today known as Guagua; the
Luzon Tragedy (, L sng cn àn) is a Chinese term for this atrocity. The Chinese
residents of Manila set fire to Legarda and Binondo, threatening to take over the
Moro stronghold in Intramuros for a spell.
Caquenga's Revolt (1607)
 When the Dominicans arrived in the Cagayan Valley in 1607, a priest began
proselytizing among the Malaueg people of Nalfotan, now Rizal, Cagayan.
Caquenga, an animist priestess, revolted against the arrival of the Catholic
Church.
 She gathered her community's residents and escaped to the mountains, where they
joined forces with another hamlet and prepared for war. The upcoming uprising
was successfully put down by a Dominican priest and loyal Malaueg men, and
Caquenga was sold as a slave to the opposite community.
 Many of her supporters, on the other hand, rebelled, burning down a Catholic
church and sparking numerous uprisings across the Cagayan Valley. One dissident
who desecrated a Virgin Mary icon.
Tamblot Revolt (1621–1622
 The Tamblot Revolt, also known as the Tamblot Insurrection, was a religious
uprising headed by Tamblot in 1621 on the island of Bohol. The Jesuits arrived in
Bohol in 1596 and soon ruled the island, converting the locals to Catholicism.
 The insurrection began on the day the Jesuits were in Cebu celebrating the feast
day of St. Francis Xavier, when Tamblot, a babaylan or native priest, persuaded
his fellow Boholanos to return to their forefathers' traditional beliefs.
 In 1622, it was eventually crushed on New Year's Day. Tamblot was beheaded
and his head was mounted on a pike to serve as a warning to the people.
