Before Spanish colonization, the Phillipines were independent and well-organized villages called barangays. Each barangay was lead by a tribal leader, who were part of an elite ruling class called the Principalia.
However, under Spanish rule, the independence of the barangays dissipated, as Spain's political system was introduced into the country. Under the Spanish regime, the people became highly centralized under the influence of the Catholic Church. However, despite the unification of the region, people started to build resentment against the Spanish rule.
Filipinos had grievances against Spanish colonial rule such as forced labor, high taxes, lack of representation in government, restrictions on freedom of speech and religion, social discrimination, and abuse by Spanish authorities and clergy. These issues led to various uprisings and rebellions in the Philippines against Spanish rule.

They sought independence, social justice, and national identity. The revolution was a response to decades of discontent and a desire to assert Filipino self-determination.

However, after the Spanish-American War, Aguinaldo learned that the US simply wanted to acquire the Philippines as a colony and rule over it much as the Spanish had before.
