 The colonization of the Philippines by Spain could not
be achieved without the help of native allies. The
success of Spanish colonization was always attributed
by historians to the zeal of the missionaries & the
superiority of the Spanish arms. It was also largely due
to the practice of the Spanish explorers befriending the
local chiefs or Datus.
 The willingness of the Spaniards in practicing native
traditions aims to achieve the goodwill of the native
leaders.
 Basically, the colonization of the Philippines was done
with the consent of the native leaders.

Sandugo or Blood Compact
•A native practice
that symbolizes
friendship,
brotherhood, &
equality.

 In 1571, a referendum was conducted among the
datu families of Manila asking their permission if
Spain was to remain in the city to continue
safeguarding them against their enemies.
 Later on the datus favored the Spanish Presence
in Manila which became the walled city of
Intramuros.
 Rajah Ache / Matanda moved his followers in the
outskirts of Intramuros which became
Bagumbayan.

The cordiality of Matanda
•He was actually Rajah
Ache.
•In 1521, He was
captured by Pigafetta’s
group off Borneo.
•He was identified as the
“King of Luzon.”
•In 1571, the Spaniards
arrive and he cordially
welcomed them.

V of the Holy Roman
Empire (also known as

big jars of gunpowder
which help the Spaniards
against other oppositions.

 To assure the loyalty of the datu class, the
Spaniards exempted them and their descendants
from taxes, polo or community labor, and other
colonial impositions.
 Some of them received appointments as local
officials and other titles in their ancestral
domains such as maestre de campo, capitan de
infanteria, sargento mayor, gobernadorcillo, and
cabeza de barangay.
 Their descendants became the basis of the
cacique class who ruled the natives for the
Spaniards.

Method of Pacification
 It was not entirely developed by the colonizers in the islands
but it was in compliance with a Royal Ordinance on
Pacification issued in 1573.
 The colonizers were to gather information about the various
tribes, languages, and divisions of the natives in the
provinces and the leaders they obey.
 The Spaniards were to seek friendship with the native
leaders through trade and barter

Spanish way of life and in the Christian
