Spanish founded a central government in the Philippines.. prior to this, there wasn’t
a government that acts on behalf of the Filipinos… rather, there were just barangays
etc.. Good side of this is that the Filipinos were kinda united by one government…
but then they still have no sense of nationalism, rather, only regionalism…
Filipinos were fragmented

Also, they gave low positions to other Filipinos… (gobernadorcillo, etc)

TAKE:

Of course, the bad side is that the power remains to the Spanish and not the
Filipinos
