Condition of Filipinos during the spanish era?

Most of the Filipinos were disenfranchised during the Spanish colonization. This is because many Filipinos were struggling fishermen and farmers. While the initial goal was to colonize and help the Filipinos secure a financial advantage via trade and commerce, the Spanish seemed more interested in expanding their empire.
