PIQC | Session 3 | Formative Years of Spanish Philippines, 1565-1665 | Panel A: Visayan Society in the 16th Century
One of the impacts of the arrival of Magellan in the Philippines was the formation of the Philippines from the beginning of the Spanish conquest in 1565 through its transformation into a colony where Christianity was introduced and imperial power was expanded. The arrival of Christianity and colonial rule on the indigenous populations transformed land and people, the foundations of which were set down between 1565-1665, through the instrumentalities of church and state applied to the indigenous communities in the archipelago. It was a two-way process of political and cultural challenges, assimilation and appropriation, at times outright resistances, in the process of “becoming” Filipinas and the Filipinos.
Session 3 is convened by the Philippine National Historical Society.
