Lahat na yata ng aspeto sa buhay ng mga Pilipino ay naimpluwensya ng mga Espanyol. Unang-una ang Katolisismong pananampalataya at pagdiriwang ng mga fiesta. Sa edukasyon, pilit na itinuro ang relihiyon at wikang Espanyol. Kaya kapansin-pansin ang mga hiram na salita gaya ng mesa, taza, tinidor at iba pa. Ang mga pangalan din ng mga Filipino ay pinalitan. Maraming Filipino ngayon ay may apilyidong Espanyol gaya ng Chavez, Zamora, Quezon, Rodriguez, atbp. May impluwensya din ang mga Espanyol sa pananamit at pagluluto. Relihiyon Ang pinakamalaking impluwensyang espanyol sa kulturang Pilipino ay ang kristyanismo. Naging dahilan ito upang tawagin ang pilipinas na "tanging Bansang kristyano sa asya." Maraming kaugaliang panrelihiyon ang natutuhan ng mga Pilipino. Kabilang ditto ang pagdaraos ng kapistahan bilang parangal at pasasalamat sa santong patron. pagkain: natuto ang mga Pilipino na kumain ng tinapay, karne ng baka at tupa, longganisa,sardinas, hamon, at atsara. natutuhan nila ang pag-inom ng kape, tsokolate, at alak. gayundin ang paggamit ng kutsara, tinidor, plato, tasa, baso at serbilyetas. natuto rin silang kumain ng mga halamang pagkain gaya ng mais, patatas, repolyo, kakaw at iba pa. Pananamit: Natutong mag suot ng americana, pantalon at sombrero ang mga lalaki. saya at kamisang maluwang at may mahahabang manggas sa mga babae. nagsusuot na rin ng sapatos, tsinelas, medyas, panwelo at payneta. Musika: Itinuro ng Kastila ang paggamit ng instrumentong pangmusika gaya ng byulin, plawta, alpa,pyano at gitara. likas na mahilig sa musika, nakalikha ang mga Pilipino ng mga instrumentong musikal buhat sa kawayan. bumuo sila ng banda ng musikong bumbong na tumututog sa mga kasayahan. ang organong kawayan na tanyag sa daigdig ay matatagpuan sa Simbahan ng Las Pinas, Metropolitan Manila. ito ay nilikha noong 1818 ni Padre Diego Cerra, isang paring kastila. ang Lupang Hinirang ni Julian Felipe at awiting Sampaguita ni Dolores Paterno ay impluwensyang Kastila. Sayaw: Madali ring natutuhan ng mga Pilipino ang mga sayaw mula sa Espanya tulad ng carinosa, pandango, surtido, La Jota, rigodon, polka at lancero. Sining: Nalinang noong panahon ng mga Kastila ang husay ng mga Pilipino sa larangan ng pagpipinta at iskultura. Tinagurian noon na Ama ng mga Pintor na Pilipino si Damian Domingo na unang pintor na Pilipino. umani ng tagumpay sa mga paligsahang pandaigdig sa pagpipinta sina Juan Luna at Filex Resurreccion Hidalgo. Si Juan Luna ang nagpinta ng Spoliarium at ng Sanduguan. Naging mahusay na mga manlililok ng mag imahen ng mga santong Katoliko ang ilang Pilipino. Si Mariano Madrinan ang tinaguriang Pinakadakilang Iskultor na Pilipino noon. Naging tanyag din sa larangang ito sina Dr.Jose Rizal, Isabelo Tampingco, Cipriano Bacay, Manuael Asuncion, Jose Arevallo at Pelagia Mendoza, ang unang Pilipinang manlililok.
Absolutely! The Filipinos dreamed to achieve inependence from the harsh Spanish rule at that time.Spanish rule on the Philippines was briefly interrupted in 1762, when British troops occupied Manila as a result of Spain's entry into the Seven Years' War. The Treaty of Paris of 1763 restored Spanish rule and in 1764 the British left the country fearing another costly war with Spain. The brief British occupation weakened Spain's grip on power and sparked rebellions and demands for independence.[ In 1781, Governor-General José Basco y Vargas established the Economic Society of Friends of the Country. The Philippines by this time was administered directly from Spain. Developments in and out of the country helped to bring new ideas to the Philippines. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 cut travel time to Spain. This prompted the rise of the ilustrados, an enlightened Filipino upper class, since many young Filipinos were able to study in Europe. Enlightened by the Propaganda Movement to the injustices of the Spanish colonial government and the "frailocracy", the ilustrados originally clamored for adequate representation to the Spanish Cortes and later for independence. José Rizal, the most celebrated intellectual and radical illustrado of the era, wrote the novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which greatly inspired the movement for independence.[8] The Katipunan, a secret society whose primary purpose was that of overthrowing Spanish rule in the Philippines, was founded by Andrés Bonifacio who became its Supremo (leader). An early flag of the Filipino revolutionaries The Philippine Revolution began in 1896. Rizal was implicated in the outbreak of the revolution and executed for treason in 1896. The Katipunan in Cavite split into two groups, Magdiwang, led by Mariano Alvarez (a relative of Bonifacio's by marriage), and Magdalo, led by Emilio Aguinaldo. Leadership conflicts between Bonifacio and Aguinaldo culminated in the execution or assassination of the former by the latter's soldiers. Aguinaldo agreed to a truce with the Pact of Biak-na-Bato and Aguinaldo and his fellow revolutionaries were exiled to Hong Kong. Not all the revolutionary generals complied with the agreement. One, General Francisco Makabulos, established a Central Executive Committee to serve as the interim government until a more suitable one was created. Armed conflicts resumed, this time coming from almost every province in Spanish-governed Philippines. A session of congress of the short-lived First Philippine Republic In 1898, as conflicts continued in the Philppines, the USS Maine, having been sent to Cuba because of U.S. concerns for the safety of its citizens during an ongoing Cuban revolution, exploded and sank in Havana harbor. This event precipitated the Spanish-American war.[11] After Commodore George Dewey defeated the Spanish squadron at Manila, the U.S. invited Aguinaldo to return to the Philippines, which he did on May 19, 1898, in the hope he would rally Filipinos against the Spanish colonial government. By the time U.S. land forces had arrived, the Filipinos had taken control of the entire island of Luzon, except for the walled city of Intramuros. On June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo declared the independence of the Philippines in Kawit, Cavite, establishing the First Philippine Republic under Asia's first democratic constitution.[8] Simultaneously, a German squadron arrived in Manila and declared that if the United States did not seize the Philippines as a colonial possession, Germany would. In the Battle of Manila, the United States captured the city from the Spanish after the Filipino forces had cordoned off the city. The Spanish forces surrendered instead to the Americans. This battle marked an end of Filipino-American collaboration, as Filipino forces were prevented from entering the captured city of Manila, an action deeply resented by the Filipinos.[12] Spain and the United States sent commissioners to Paris to draw up the terms of the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish-American War. The Filipino representative, Felipe Agoncillo, was excluded from sessions as the revolutionary government was not recognized by the family of nations.[12] Although there was substantial domestic opposition, the United States decided neither to return the Philippines to Spain, nor to allow Germany to annex the Philippines. In addition to Guam and Puerto Rico, Spain was forced in the negotiations to hand over the Philippines to the U.S. in exchange for US$20,000,000.00,[13] which the U.S. later claimed to be a "gift" from Spain.[14] The first Philippine Republic rebelled against the U.S. occupation, resulting in the Philippine-American War (1899-1913).
