THE SPANISH MISSIONARIES DIDN'T JUST HELPED THE ARMY OF SPAIN IN COLONIZING OUR COUNTRY, THEY ALSO HELPED IN SPREADING CATHOLICISM. THEY WERE THE ONES WHO TAUGHT THE FILIPINOS THE GOSPEL, AND HOW TO TREAT GOD AS THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING. WITH THEIR HELP THE CONQUEST IN THE COUNTRY BECAME MUCH EASIER, WITH THE USE OF THE CROSS AND SHARING/TEACHING THE FILIPINOS THE NEW RELIGION WHICH IS THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.
THE SPANISH MISSIONARIES WERE GOOD FRIENDS OF THE EARLY FILIPINOS. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO TAUGHT US MANY THINGS, JUST LIKE IN THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING, WRITING,SOCIAL WORKS, AND EVEN IN PRINTING. THE MISSIONARIES WERE GOOD AT MANY WAYS. THEY BROUGHT US THE NEW EUROPEAN ARTS, MUSIC, ARCHITECTURES, EDUCATION, AND LITERATURE. THEY BUILT THE FIRST TOWNS, CITIES, CHURCH, UNIVERSITIES, SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AS WELL AS THE PRINTING PRESSES, HOSPITALS,HOUSE FOR THE ORPHANS AND OTHER LIBRARIES. THEY ALSO INTRODUCED TO US THE NEW TECHNIQUES OR MUCH BETTER WAY OF FISHING, FARMING AND TAUGHT US THE METHOD OF WEAVING, MINING AND METAL WORKS. THEY WERE GOOD INDUSTRIALISTS, SHARED THE FILIPINOS THEIR TALENTS AND SHOWED US THE RIGHT WAY OF HAVING A BUSINESS. THEY WERE ALSO TRAINED IN WRITING POETS, HISTORY, BOOKS, MAPS, DICTIONARY, GRAMMAR BOOKS AND WERE ALWAYS NOTED AS GOOD GRAMMARIANS, PLAYWRIGHTS, POETS, CHRONICLERS AND MANY MORE. THE SPANISH MISSIONARIES WERE ALSO THE ONE WHO CONSTRUCTED THE FIRST ROADS, BRIDGES, AND OTHER PUBLIC WORKS. THESE ARE SOME OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE SPANISH MISSIONARIES IN THE COUNTRY.
