What were the reasons of the Philippine revolts in 1565-1663?

Answer 1

The Philippine revolts from 1565 to 1663 were primarily driven by the oppressive policies of Spanish colonial rule, including heavy taxation, forced labor (the encomienda system), and religious imposition. Indigenous populations and local leaders resisted these injustices, seeking to preserve their cultural identity and autonomy. Additionally, the lack of representation and the exploitation of resources fueled discontent among various groups, leading to uprisings such as the Dagami and the Pampanga revolts. These revolts reflected broader anti-colonial sentiments and the desire for social and economic justice.
