Filipino People and Spaniards

Published: October 07, 2022

If the Spaniards version were to be the right and accepted one, wherein Spaniards are just and treat the Filipinos fairly, do you think it will be beneficial for the Filipinos to be under or colonized by Spain?

Insight:

In my own opinion, it will be beneficial. We can learn a new language, there will be a change in lifestyle, and our own native culture will be tainted by the Spaniards' way of life. We can have a life that is like how the Spaniards thought us to be, but I can't say that all Filipinos can accept this. Thus, it means that it would not have led to the rebellion of Filipino soldiers against the Spaniards if there wasn't a tyranny of the Governor-General de Izquierdo.
