Answer 3

Yeah???? Well, let me take a guess as to what your question is about....

Names: Most people have Spanish names because Spain forced them to have pronounceable (to Spaniards) names.

Philippines is a Catholic country. This would not have been the case if they were ruled by say Holland or England.

Many spanish words have been picked up (and converted to Tagalog) like zapatos, pantalons, Kabayo and many more.

Place names: Unfortunately many towns and cities are named after saints, and there were only so many saints to go around. That's why you have several San Fernandos, half a dozen Santa Rosas etc.

Answer 4

Apart from what the other good answerers have enumerated----
the Spanish turned us into revolutionaries. With the cruelty and treachery experienced by our forefathers from the Spanish, our great men and women retaliated---through rebellion, uprisings, and as for our national hero, Jose Rizal---through his revolutionary writings and novels. The Spanish also gave us our Westernized educational system. UST, the Ateneo, Letran, and a lot of convent schools were established by them. Government system was also introduced by them. Emilio Aguinaldo was the Philippine president at that time, when Spain was still our master.
