What is the differents between the repartimiento and encomiendo system?
The repartimiento system and the encomienda system were both labor systems used by the Spanish in colonial Latin America, but they had key differences. The encomienda system granted Spanish settlers the right to extract labor and tribute from indigenous communities in exchange for protection and Christianization, often leading to severe exploitation. In contrast, the repartimiento system required the Spanish crown to allocate indigenous labor more equitably, mandating that indigenous people work for a limited time and receive compensation, although it still often resulted in harsh conditions. Ultimately, both systems were exploitative, but repartimiento aimed for a slightly more regulated approach.
What type of feudal system was implemented in the Philippines?
From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encomienda): "The encomienda system was a trusteeship labor system employed by the Spanish crown during the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the Philippines in order to consolidate their conquests. Conquistadores were granted trusteeship over the indigenous people they conquered, in an expansion of familiar medieval feudal institutions, notably the commendation ceremony, which had been established in New Castile during the Reconquista. The encomiendo system differed from the developed form of feudalism in that it did not entail any direct land tenure by the encomendero; Indian lands were to remain in their possession, a right that was formally protected by the Crown of Castile because at the beginning of the Conquest most of the rights of administration in the new lands went to the Castilian Queen.[2] These were laws that the Crown attempted to impose in all of the Spanish colonies in the Americas and in the Philippines." It is quite possible that the encomienda system evolved into the hacienda system (if there is a difference at all). From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacienda): The hacienda system and lifestyles were also imitated in the Philippines which was colonized by Spain through Mexico for 300 years. Attempts to break up the hacienda system in the Philippines through land reform laws during the second half of the 1900's have proven moderately successful. From the Chan Robles Law Library (http://www.chanrobles.com/legal4agrarianlaw.htm) "The Comprehensive Argraian Reform Law of 1988 was a piece Philippine legislature that aimed to pursue a Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) where the welfare of the landless farmers and farm workers will receive the highest consideration to promote social justice and to move the nation towards sound rural development and industrialization, and the establishment of owner cultivatorship of economic-sized farms as the basis of Philippine agriculture. The agrarian reform program is founded on the right of farmers and regular farm workers, who are landless, to own directly or collectively the lands they till or, in the case of other farm workers, to receive a share of the fruits thereof. To this end, the State shall encourage the just distribution of all agricultural lands, subject to the priorities and retention limits set forth in this Act, having taken into account ecological, developmental, and equity considerations, and subject to the payment of just compensation. The State shall respect the right of small landowners and shall provide incentives for voluntary land-sharing."
