philippine in ancient time ?
During the Spanish colonization period in the Philippines, society was divided into three main social classes: peninsulares (Spaniards born in Spain), insulares (Spaniards born in the Philippines), and the native Filipinos or "indios". Each of these classes had different rights and privileges, with peninsulares holding the highest social status and political power.
the social classes that composed on late 18th century are the old aristocracy,the merchants, nd the manufacturers
The three social classes in the Philippines are the upper class (wealthy and influential families), the middle class (white-collar professionals, small business owners), and the lower class (blue-collar workers, farmers, informal sector workers). Socioeconomic status and education level often determine one's placement in these classes.
During the pre-Spanish era in the Philippines, the social classes were the Maharlika (nobility and warrior class), the Timawa (freemen and skilled laborers), and the Alipin (commoners and slaves/serfs).
During the Spanish period in the Philippines, society was divided into classes based on racial origin, with the Spanish colonizers and their descendants at the top, followed by the native Filipinos, and then the Chinese and other ethnic groups. The social hierarchy was enforced through laws that restricted the rights and opportunities of the lower classes, leading to a stratified society with limited social mobility. The Catholic Church played a significant role in shaping social norms and values, influencing everything from education to family structure.
