When the Spaniards first set foot on the Philippines, the Filipino natives were not hostile on them. Instead, they welcomed the foreigners, listened to their teachings. They easily believed the story of Jesus since Filipinos before were pagans, and no ruler there had a law that the his people would have to praise their ruler as a God or anything. Filipinos are very hospitable, and they showed it by doing "services", like making the visitor as comfortable as possible, and even sacrifices his/her own convenience as long as the visitor is happy. The Spaniards saw this too much hospitable actions as an act of slavery, not the correct one which is hospitable. This made them more sure that an invasion would be successful. And in comparison of the weaponry, it was cannons and rifle against bows, arrows, and bolos. Anyway, the Spaniards went out to the other side of the world for three Gs.
God, Gold, and Glory.
I'll emphasize on the first one. God. By spreading religion, they could easily gain the trust of people. And Filipinos are very trusting. And so, it happened. The Spaniard priests would tell us to pay taxes and give money to the church and be good people, while they were just making themselves richer from the money given by the people. The priests themselves were corrupt. They committed crimes, and most priests were not virgins. Ask me why. That is pretty much why the Filipinos were easily pacified by the Spaniards.
