THE COLONIAL ECONOMIC POLICIES OF SPAIN

    The Spain influenced the Philippines with many things through economic, culture, and it affects our history as well. The economic changes that were introduce by Spain are still applicable today. Just like the forced labor or the POLO Y SERVICIO, many Filipino and Chinese males before suffered because of this requirement. All males from 16 to 60 years old were forced to work for the government. They are required to work for 40 days each year, and this males were called polista for they were forced to perform polo. And to compare it to our government today, polo is still happening. Just like the street children who doesn't have a place to go were forced to work by the syndicate, and instead of helping them they are given a task which are not yet right for their age. The street children are forced to beg money to people but at the end this money were given to the syndicate who ordered them to beg, their hardship of doing service to this people are not even helping them in their lives but instead their making the syndicate much powerful because they're the only one who benefits in this kind of service. 
     But not all Filipinos before are forced to do a service for the government, there are some who are exempted. These were the members of principalia or what we called the aristocrats. They are the elite people of the government. But in exchange for not performing the polo they're required to pay the falla, which is one and a half of they're money. 
       These services really affects the way of living of the Filipinos because instead of being with their families and having their lives in the way they want it, they are forced to work for the Spaniards.

THE SPANISH COLONIAL GOVERNMENT

     The Philippines was conquered by Spain over 333 yrs. and during this time the Philippines was under its rules, power and authority. The reason why Spain wanted to overpowered us is because they want to implement the Catholicism in the country, to maintain its strong power over the world and take over much land, and to use the country's natural resources to benefit themselves. The union of church and state really helped in conquering the country and in establishing the new form of government. 
     During the period of Spanish colonization the Philippines was headed by the governor general and not directly by the King of Spain, his role is to represent the king. He has vast powers just like legislative which enables him to make, and implement laws; spiritual or religious power which gave him the privilege to appoint and remove government and church officials, this was granted by the pope. And he has to be called as Royal Patronage; judicial power which means the ability to judge those who disobeyed the implemented law; military power which makes the governor general as the commander-in-chief of the colonial armed force; and the executive power which includes the power of cumplase- he has the right not to implement the laws issued by the Mexican Viceroy that he knows won't benefit him. These are the different duties of a governor general.
     The Philippines was divided into two the alcaldia and corregimiento. The alcaldia are the group of people which already submitted at the hands of Spaniards. Where as the corregimiento reffers to the people who didn't accept to be under the authority of Spain, these people are against the will of Spaniards.
      These is the kind of government the Philippines had during the Spanish period of colonization. 

LOVE MEANS EVERYTHING

    LOVE IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL, CAME FROM OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. IT IS THE FEELING THAT EVERYBODY IS EAGER TO FEEL. IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WHY PEOPLE SURVIVE THROUGH THE DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE. THEY SAID THAT WHEN YOU HAVE THIS YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO AND ACCOMPLISH MANY THINGS, SOME SAYS BECAUSE IT IS THE CLOSEST THING TO MAGIC THAT'S WHY EVERYBODY WANTS IT, WHILE OTHER SAYS THAT IT IS A WASTE OF TIME LOOKING FOR IT AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT EXIST.
   LOVE HAS ITS OWN TIME, IT COMES ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME,MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE; YOU'LL BE SURPRISE ONE DAY IT WILL KNOCK AT YOUR DOORS AND ASK YOU IF YOU'LL ALLOW IT TO COME IN. IT IS EASY TO FIND LOVE..., "BUT WHY IS IT THAT MANY PEOPLE FIND IT SO HARD LOOKING FOR IT?"
   SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE, THEY DON'T REALIZE HOW WONDERFUL THEIR LIVES ARE, THEY DOESN'T KNOW THAT LOVE EXIST EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR IT. ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE 'GOD IS LOVE', AND IF YOU  HAVE GOD YOU'LL DEFINITELY FEEL AND EXPERIENCE THE ABUNDANCE OF LOVE," AND I DO BELIEVE IN THIS!"
    THE ONLY THING WHY PEOPLE AREN'T SATISFY WITH WHAT THEY HAVE IS BECAUSE THEY DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE ONLY THING THAT THEY NEED IS GOD, HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD FULFILL OUR HEARTS.
     OUR HEART IS LIKE A VACUUM IT NEEDED LOVE TO BECOME FULL EVERY NOW AND THEN. AND WITHOUT LOVE, THE PURPOSE OF THE HEART IS NOTHING, IT IS CONSIDERED AS USELESS.
      GOOD THING ABOUT LOVE IS THAT  IT IS SO PATIENT THAT IT ALWAYS WAITS FOR ITS TURN. IT IS SO KIND THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS IGNORED, IT STILL LOVES AND CONTINUOUSLY LOVES AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NOTHING TO GIVE IT IS STILL LOVE THAT MATTERS, AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS HURT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IT REPEATEDLY DOES THE SAME THING. IT STILL LOVE AND LOVE AND LOVE....
       FOR ME LOVE IS AN ENDLESS THING, IT NEVER DIES. IT CONTINUOUSLY FLOW THROUGH OUR VEINS OVER THE WHOLE PERT OF OUR BODY. IT IS LOVE THAT CREATED THE WORLD AND SAVES US FROM OUR SINS. BECAUSE OF LOVE WE EXIST, BECAUSE OF IT WE STILL EXIST.
      LOVE IS TRULY AN IMPORTANT THING THAT IT SHOULD BE TREASURED AND LOVE. LOVE NEEDED TO BE LOVED BACK AND APPRECIATED FOR IT TO CONTINUOUSLY LOVING YOU......<3
             -----I AM COMPLETELY AND DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH LOVE (GOD)-----
