COLONIAL PERIOD (SPANISH

REGIME)
•The Spaniards had been exploring the Philippines since
the early 16th century. Ferdinand Magellan

• In 1543, Ruy López de Villalobos arrived at the islands of


Leyte and Samar and named them Las Islas Filipinas in
honor of Philip II of Spain, at the time Prince of Asturias.

• Philip became King of Spain on January 16, 1556, when


his father, Charles I of Spain (who also reigned as Charles
V, Holy Roman Emperor), abdicated the Spanish throne.

• Philip was in Brussels at the time and his return to Spain


was delayed until 1559 because of European politics and
wars in northern Europe.
• Philip II of Spain, whose name has remained attached to the islands, ordered
and oversaw the conquest and colonization of the Philippines.

• November 19 or 20, 1564 a Spanish expedition of a mere 500 men led by


Miguel López de Legazpi departed Barra de Navidad, New Spain, arriving off
Cebu on February 13, 1565, conquering it despite Cebuano opposition.

• In 1569, Legazpi transferred to Panay and founded a second settlement on the


bank of the Panay River.

• In 1570, Legazpi sent his grandson, Juan de Salcedo, who had arrived from
Mexico in 1567, to Mindoro to punish the Muslim Moro pirates who had been
plundering Panay villages.

• Salcedo also destroyed forts on the islands of Ilin and Lubang, respectively
South and Northwest of Mindoro.
PHILIP II (SPANISH:
FELIPE II; 21 MAY 1527 –
13 SEPTEMBER 1598)

• He was King of Spain (1556–98), King


of Portugal (1581–98, as Philip I,
Portuguese: Filipe I), King of Naples and
Sicily (both from 1554), and jure uxoris
King of England and Ireland (during his
marriage to Queen Mary I from 1554 to

•Also known as El
Adelantado and El
Viejo (The Elder)
• In 1570, Martín de Goiti, having been dispatched by Legazpi to Luzon,
conquered the Kingdom of Maynila (now Manila), a puppet-state of the
Sultanate of Brunei. 79 Legazpi then made Maynila the capital of the Philippines
and simplified its spelling to Manila.

• His expedition also renamed Luzon Nueva Castilla. Legazpi became the
country's first governor-general. In 1573, Japan expanded its trade in northern
Luzon. In 1580, the Japanese lord Tay Fusa established the independent Wokou
Tay Fusa state in non-colonial Cagayan.

• When the Spanish arrived in the area, they subjugated the new kingdom,
resulting in 1582 Cagayan battles.[7] With time, Cebu's importance fell as
power shifted north to Luzon. The archipelago was Spain's outpost in the orient
and Manila became the capital of the entire Spanish East Indies.

• The colony was administered through the Viceroyalty of New Spain (now
Mexico) until 1821 when Mexico achieved independence from Spain. After 1821,
the colony was governed directly from Spain.

• The Battle of Manila ( February 3 - March 3 1945) was


a major battle of the Philippine campaign of 1944-1955
during the Second World War. It was fought by American
forces from both the U.S. mainland and the Philippines
against Japanese troops in Manila, the capital city of the
Philippines.
• The month-long battle, which resulted in the death of
over 100,000 civilians and the complete devastation of
the city, was the scene of the worst urban fighting in the
Pacific theater.
• Japanese forces committed mass murder against
Filipino civilians during the battle. Along with massive
loss of life, the battle also destroyed architectural and
cultural heritage dating back to the city's founding, and
Manila became one of the most devastated capital cities
during the entire war, alongside Berlin and Warsaw.
• The battle ended the almost three years of Japanese
military occupation in the Philippines (1942-1945) The
city's capture was marked as General Douglas
MacArthur's key to victory in the campaign of
reconquest. It is the last of the many battles fought
within Manila's history.

• American settlement in the Philippines began during the Spanish colonial period.

• The period of American colonization of the Philippines lasted 48 years, from


cession of the Philippines to the U.S. by Spain in 1898 to U.S. recognition of
Philippine independence in 1946. After independence in 1946, many Americans
chose to remain in the Philippines while maintaining relations with relatives in the
US.

• Most of them were professionals, but missionaries continued to settle the country.

• The United States invaded the Philippines, which was then governed by Spain as
the Spanish East Indies, during the Spanish-American War.

• After the conclusion of that war, Philippine revolutionaries declared independence


as the Revolutionary Government of the Philippines.

• Believing that the Philippines was not yet fit for self-government, the United
States maintained authority of the archipelago and the Philippine–American War
ensued. America then held the Philippines until granting full independence on July
4th, 1946.
