Most heroes in Philippines have a history of being a leader that fought againts the Spaniads.
The Spanish had muskets and rifles, while the Filipinos only had spears. Also, the Spanish turned tribes on each other before destroying the victorious tribe, saving them the work of destroying the other tribe.
The political entities of Africa decreased by the colonization of the Eurpeon countries and America (The political entities are the native countries that had retained their independance during the orignal colonization in 1880). Eventually only 3% of African still held independent countries by 1914. The other countries lost their rights and freedmon to other countries.
The Philippine American war had Rebel Filipinos fighting against other Rebel Filipinos and against the US Forces, The Philippine constabulary and the Philippine Scouts.
The tradition where Filipinos eat rice was influenced by the Spaniards. Other foods that they have brought to the Philippines are paellas, lasagna and spaghetti.
Given the two periods, it can be evidently seen how much the Philippine society changed and how the Spanish regime invoked the sudden will of the Filipino for freedom. During the pre-colonial period, the Filipino didn't have a sense of nationalism for they don't have a common identity yet during that time. They primarily focus was their community and the people's welfare and they didn't show any sign of interest with other barangays. This proves that the Philippines didn't act as a nation despite seeing movement for every community. In contrast, the Spanish period drove the Filipinos to act as a nation. Being ill-treated and misguided, the Filipinos found the courage and strength from Rizal's works and revolted against the Spaniards and this turned out to be the Filipino nationalism that we know now today (Cortes et al., 2000). There are different factors that led to the development of Filipino nationalism namely the deaths of GOMBURZA, Rizal's writings and his two novels, "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo", and world events that occurred during the Spanish regime. First is the death of GOMBURZA. The Filipinos were severely affected by the deaths of these three priests because many, especially those who witnessed the execution believed that they were innocent. It was described to be a judicial murder and this incident is something that the Filipinos could forget during that time. Second is Rizal's writings.The Filipinos, before Rizal's time, were afraid to fight for their freedom because of different reasons, including the false teachings of Catholicism during that time. When Rizal's two novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, circulated among the masses, a sense of unity has begun to form and the Filipinos started to unite as one in fending off the Spanish oppression. Third are the world events that occurred during the Spanish regime. These events namely the Seven Years' War, French Revolution, US Declaration of Independence, Latin American War of Independence, Age of Enlightenment introduced the concept of Liberalism to the Filipinos. During this time, the Filipino learned that the Spaniards were not that superior and that they can be defeated. These events caused the opening of the Suez Canal, the Philippines became opened to world trade, the death of Rizal, Chinese expulsion and the Jesuit eviction. Most of the perceptions of the Filipino changed during this point.

They used to believe in other gods
Spanish was initially brought to the Americas by Christopher Columbus and other Spanish explorers during the early 16th century. They established colonial settlements and imposed their language on the indigenous populations through colonization and conquest.
Same as any other countries during rainy season.
The Silang Revolt happened during the British occupation of the Philippines during the Spanish colonization period. Don't get confused, it's still the Spanish period. The British actually asked the help of Diego Silang to overthrow the Spanish Rule. -Leo Amadeus Ruiz. :)
Hernan Cortes, as a Spanish conquistador, brought the Spanish language to America through colonization and the spread of Spanish culture. He established Spanish settlements in Mexico and other parts of the Americas, where the language became dominant through the process of colonization and assimilation of local populations.
Spanish is the principal language spoken in many Latin American countries because of the historical colonization by Spain. During the Spanish colonization period, Spanish was enforced as the official language, leading to its widespread adoption. Additionally, linguistic and cultural influences have further solidified Spanish as the dominant language in the region.

Yes...There are three social classes during the pre-spanish colonization periodMaginoo - composed of datus, chiefsAlipin - slaves to the noblemenTimawa - former slaves who are freed by their mastersBecause of the social classes, slavery is also present even before the Philippines was colonized by other nations.
yes, the filipinos were already civilized before the spanish colonization. They have already a way of government, we already have laws, we already trade in other places, we have the system of writing, we already have currency (in terms of gold) and also social classes.
Alibata was changed into roman alphabet because of the influence of the Americans, and it was introduced to Filipinos during world war where Thomasites were the one teaching Filipinos with the English language and also the roman alphabet. And as of now, the modern times, only those native Filipinos on high mountains are trained to write alibata, and it's also not a major subject on some universities, to teach alibata and write alibata for the whole year, because Filipinos and other people from all around the world usually follow the Roman Alphabet.
Because we filipinos don't care whether our life is on the line, the important thing is we saved or at least tried to save a life. Matapang means brave. We are matapang not only on typhoons but on other stuff
