Union of Church and state
The Colonial Administration shared the power of governance with the Church.
The church meddled with governmental functions and this led to the supremacy of the Church over
the Government.
7. Reduccion
The Spanish authorities clustered the Filipino population into village settlements where they could
more easily be instructed.
Spanish urbanization was centered in the city of Manila, within a walled city called Intramuros.

education
Education in the prehispanic period is informal. The children are only taught by their parents in
vocations that can be used in their everyday lives.
But with the coming of the Spaniards, education was formalized and it focused on the doctrines of
Christianity.
23. education
The subjects taught were catechism, reading and writing in the dialect, music, arithmetic, and trades
and industries.
The Spanish aristocracy tried to distinguish themselves from indios through the use of language and
level of education.
24. education
Higher education was established exclusively for Spaniards and Filipinos, referring to those born in
the colony to Spanish parents.
Colleges and universities were closed to indios.
25. education
Colleges, which later, became universities, were also established. Examples of these are: University
of Sto.Tomas, Ateneo de Manila, San Juan de Letran, etc. Schools and nunnery for women were
also introduced.
26. education
School for boys were separated from that of the girls. Courses such as Law, Medicine, Engineering
were limited only to males. Females were given special education in the colegio (regular schools for
girls) and in the beaterio (combined school and nunnery).

Development of infrastructure and public utilities
Ferrocaril de Manila: the only railway line in the archipelago, which was constructed using mainly
Filipino labor. By 1892, five street car service lines connected the primate city with the suburbs with
horse-drawn cars.
32. Development of infrastructure and public utilities
Puente Colgante (Quezon bridge): the first suspension bridge in the Far East.
Public Lighting System: used with coconut oil as fuel (1814). By 1893, the walled city (Intramuros)
and suburbs were already powered by electricity, with the founding of the La Electricista de Manila.
33. Galleon trade
Through the galleon trade (derived from the name of the ships used to transport goods from one
country to another), American-Asian commerce flourished, but only a very few privileged Spaniards
were benefited.

35. Christianity
Christianity is considered as Spains greatest and lasting legacy in the country.
The Christianization (Roman Catholic) of the Filipinos was really the most outstanding achievement
of the Spanish missionaries. And as a result of the missionaries apostolic labors, the Filipino people
have become uniquely the only Christian nation in the entire Asian world.
36. Christianity
The Spaniards converted much of the Philippines to Christianity except for Mindanao and Sulu.
The striking resemblances between the pre-colonial religion and Catholicism have made the latter
acceptable to the local inhabitants.
