Because the Filipinos didn't trust the Spaniards, some Filipino officials kept their weapons with them in case of emergency. And the Spaniards didn't trust the FIlipinos at the same time.
I believe that one thing Cortez had was steel which was stronger than the Aztec's bronze weapons.
The Jaguar and Eagle Aztec WarriorsThose Aztec warriors who demonstrated the most bravery and who fought well became either jaguar or eagle warriors. Of all of the Aztec warriors, they were the most feared. Both the jaguar and eagle Aztec warriors wore distinguishing helmets and uniforms. The jaguars were identifiable by the jaguar skins they wore over their entire body, with only their faces showing from within the jaguar head. The eagle Aztec warriors, on the other hand, wore feathered helmets including an open beak.Aztec Weapons and DressThe Aztec warriors carried a variety of weapons, including stabbing javelins, wooden spears, ob sidian knives, and clubs. In addition, they flung firestones at their enemies using slings made of wool. Most of the Aztec weapons were actually designed to stun and capture opponents rather than to kill them. In this way, opponents could be easily brought back to the temple for sacrifice. To protect themselves, Aztec warriors used round shields, which they fringed with feathers. The remainder of the costumes worn was dependent upon military ranking of the Aztec warrior.

One reason for Don Hernando Cortes to be able conquer the Aztec empire was because of his military power. His army possessed superior weapons and armors. They also trained horses and dogs to their advantage. The Aztecs also confused Cortes as one of their gods and thus trusted him. In addition, Spaniards spread smallpox and other European diseases which killed and lessen the number of the Aztec people.
It is not the Aztec 'colony' It was the European colony, the Spaniards that is important. They were important because they are gay.
