Write your critical analysis/critique of the readings presented related to the Philippine society and culture before and during the Spanish period. ​

I have analayzed. Philippines society was heavily influenced by the Spanish colonization from 1565 to 1898. through those years they introduced Christianity and so the early Filipinos believed in god. Foods was also influenced by the spanish for example Lechon (Spanish dish). It seems that the Spaniards hated the "savage" dishes the Philippines offered to the colonizers, another example of this is the american colonization right after Philippines had a war with the Spanish colonizers. The Americans werw disgusted with the dish adobo and they tried to force people not to cook them anymore. The filipino language is a mix of South-east Asian languages like bahasa Indonesia plus spanish words and accent. The Philippines weren't fully independent until July 4, 1946. After the events of countries trying to colonize The Philippines, the Philippines prospered and became the 2nd richest country in Asia (1900s)Philippines then participated in the basketball olympics and other worldwide committees. Since then, Philippines dropped to a third world country thanks to the overpopulation, corruption and natural disasters. The Philippines is a very interesting and unique country that has Spanish roots and a different culture.
