What Was The Political Status Of The Philippines During The Spanish Era?
After they colonized the Philippines in 1565, the Spanish built on the traditional village organization by co-opting local leaders, but the Royal administration was directly funded by the Spanish Crown and run from Mexico City until Spain lost the Philippines to the British in 1764. The old, direct-rule system persisted even after the Spanish retook the islands from the British in 1764, and lasted until the revolution of 1896. The only difference involved a change in 1821 after the Mexican Revolution forced the Spanish to administer the Philippines directly from Spain.
