🎥 Welcome and Introduction
The paragraph introduces the video, welcoming viewers and encouraging them to subscribe to the channel. It sets the context by briefly mentioning the focus on social sciences and historical discussions, specifically touching upon the 19th-century social evils in the Philippines under Spanish rule. The speaker also references previous videos and the channel's aim of exploring meaningful topics.
📜 Instability of Colonial Administration
This section discusses the political instability in the Philippines during Spanish colonization, marked by frequent changes in leadership. From 1835 to 1897, the Philippines had 50 governors-general, each serving an average of one year and three months. This constant turnover hindered political and economic development, as new leaders could not implement lasting changes. The example of having four governors-general within a year highlights the chaos of the period.
💼 Corrupt Colonial Officials
This paragraph delves into the widespread corruption among colonial officials in the Philippines during the 19th century. Unlike their more dedicated predecessors, the officials of this era were often corrupt, incompetent, and prone to bribery. Several governors-general are mentioned, including Rafael de Izquierdo, José Malcampo, Fernando Primo de Rivera, Valeriano Weyler, and Camilo de Polavieja, whose tenures were marred by significant events like the execution of Gomburza and the death of José Rizal.
🏛️ No Philippine Representation in the Spanish Cortes
This section explains how the Philippines lost its representation in the Spanish Cortes after 1837, worsening the condition of the Filipino people. The paragraph highlights Ventura de los Reyes, the first Philippine delegate who participated in framing Spain's first democratic constitution in 1812. However, the loss of representation left Filipinos with no platform to address colonial injustices, leading to the rise of the propaganda movement and eventually the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
🚫 Human Rights Denied to Filipinos
The paragraph discusses the denial of human rights to Filipinos despite Spain's adoption of democratic constitutions that granted such rights to Spaniards. Filipinos were deprived of freedoms like speech, press, and association, which were enjoyed in Spain. The inconsistency was criticized by contemporary Spanish thinkers, but the colonial government continued to withhold these rights from the Filipinos, fueling resentment and contributing to the revolutionary sentiments of the period.
⚖️ No Equality Before the Law
This paragraph explores the racial inequality entrenched in the Spanish colonial legal system. Although Christian doctrine preached equality before God, in practice, Filipinos were treated as inferior to white Spaniards. The colonial legal system was biased, with justice favoring Spaniards over Filipinos, leading to widespread abuses and a lack of recourse for the oppressed population. The paragraph references Ferdinand Blumentritt’s letter to José Rizal, which condemns the discriminatory penal code that treated non-white individuals as latent criminals.
⚠️ Maladministration of Justice
The final paragraph discusses the corruption and inefficiency in the Philippine judicial system under Spanish rule. Courts were notoriously slow and expensive, making justice inaccessible to most Filipinos. Wealth, social status, and skin color heavily influenced legal outcomes, with white Spaniards often winning cases regardless of the evidence. The paragraph highlights how this maladministration exacerbated the suffering of Filipinos, who were left with little hope of receiving fair treatment under the law.

is april 12 2021 and today is monday
meaningful discussion in the world of
social sciences
youtube channel so it is said that
during the time of rizal
the sinestro shadows of spain's
decadence
darkened philippine skies so meaning to
say an
evil shadows okay
if you are going to describe declining
morality no
in the philippines as far as the
implementation of the spaniards is
concerned in the country
the filipino people agonized beneath the
yoke
of spanish misrule no human
implementations
in country before yen and but nothing to
do as we discussed the 11 social evils
for they were unfortunate victims
of the evils of unjust bygoted
pakistani convicted and resonable and
deter urading
colonial power highlight nothing
deteriorating colonial power because
ladies and gentlemen
talking about 19th century
journey spaniards in the country
kasingha they started 16th century
1718 hanging
colonization here in the philippines
during those times
so we need to say somewhat sorry
implementations no
manganese rules here in our country
philippines
so among these are as follows okay um
11 social evils
so number one we have instability of
colonial administration
second corrupt colonial officials third
no philippine representation in the
spanish cortez
four human rights denied to filipinos
five no equality before the law
six mal administration of justice
seven racial discrimination eighth
freucracy nine forced
labor ten ashendus owned by the friars
and number 11
the guardian
is number one to number six longpo and a
part of the 11th social evil so
instability of colonial administration
the political instability in spain
adversely affected
philippine affairs bakit naba because
it brought about frequent periodic ships
meaning to say talking about the terms
of um the governor
generals for example or the officials in
the country
specific
for instance from 1835 to 1897
the philippines was ruled by 50
governors general okay clarupus
reneg 50 governors general each
serving an average term for only one
year
and three months so if we are going to
compute 1835
to 1897 young peer union coverage yen is
62 years to be exact okay
so 62 years nayana
50 governors general so imagine you po
so ebik sabihin at one time from
december of 1853
to november of 1854 a period of less
than
a year there were four governors
general nadu matinditos pilipinas
situation before okay in 62 years
50 governors general and the one's
instance
in the philippines also in less than a
year
the frequent change of colonial
officials hampered the political
and economic development of the
philippines of course
governor general in the country
general from spain hardly had one
governor general begun his
administration
when he was soon replaced by his
successor
so naturally no chief executive
no matter how able and energetic he was
could accomplish much for the colony
motivated and governor general nayano
maga wong changes
in the colony because of the um
improper no guidelines
when it comes on sino angmagiging i'm
next the governor general at the end of
the day so a long
procedure so that is one of the problems
um specifically in the colonization of
the spaniards in the country
second is a corrupt colonial officials
okay
with few exceptions the colonial
officials which is the governor general
judges provincial executives and other
sent by spain to the philippines in the
19th century
where a far cry from their able and
dedicated predecessors
of 16th 17th and 18th centuries
officials
16th century 17th century 18th century
so the same
implementation is a 19th
description they were either highly
corrupt
okay incompetent cruel
or vinal because prone to bribery
leader nato like for example
they were either highly corrupt
incompetent cruel or vinal
prone to bribery okay
so famous
um as governor general superior the 19th
century
talking about so let's start with number
one
rafael di escherdo okay from 1871 to
1873 back each and again part because
meru significant event in a yard can you
still recall
the martiers of 1872 okay february 17 of
1872
when the gomborza was executed in the
country
okay the next one is admiral jose
malcampo from 1874 to 1877
description description
officials from spain third we have
general fernando premo de rivera
from 1880 to 1883
from 1897 to 1898
governor generals the philippines that
the fourth one
is general valeriano whaler
okay from 1888 to 1891
so the the last one is general
camilo di polavieja from 1896 to 1897
which is
paso significant event which is the
death of our national hero
december 30 of 1896
execution
governor general see
here in our country after the laws of
mexico
guatemala chile argentina and
other colonies in latin america numerous
job seekers
and panelists spanish psychopaths came
to the philippines where they became
judges provincial executives army
officers and
impliedos or also known as government
employees bhagat gonna mention a lot in
american countries because remember
sakhima discussions questions
guatemala chile argentina
philippines they immediately occupy
certain positions
oppositions because they were either
relatives
of prodigies of civil officials and
friars
here in our country during those times
backgrounds if we are going to describe
from guatemala chile argentina mexico
pilipinas if you are going to describe
them silipuyo mostly
ignorant and probably gate meaning to
say recklessly
extravagant okay they conducted
themselves
with arrogance and superciliousness okay
no no they show us arrogance as how they
um interact with the filipinos at the
time simply because
of their alien white skin and told noses
legend pray because physically speaking
ibasilas
filipinos that they are
above no they are practicing the concept
of ethnocentrism
at this point no meaning to say they are
considering themselves
as higher than the filipinos where in
fact
spain
or by marrying the eresus of
rich filipino families
so from a panelist situation
very poor filipinas
either by marrying the heiresses
of those prominent families in the
philippines or
um transactions because we are being
colonized by
the country spain so they could still
impose know
everything what they want to impose
spaniards during those times
so number three no philippine
representation
in spanish cortez so accordingly the
philippines
experienced her first period of
representation
in the cortes from 1810 to 1813 sonata
history demonstrates that the first
philippine delegate in the person of
ventura de los reyes okay
took active part in the framing of the
constitution
of 1812. so meaning to say you know
framed unconstitution
1812
okay particularly in the person of
ventura de los reyes
spain's first democratic constitution
and was one of its 184 signers
so again part posiventuran owns 184
signers
the first um constitution in 1812
spaniards sonaging part philippines
unfortunately
the representation of the overseas
colonies
including the philippines the basa
because
in the representation of the spanish
cortez
last 1837
philippines represents a spanish cortez
okay soon 1837 going back
since then philippine condition worsened
ok
because there was no means by which the
filipino people
could expose the anomalies perpetrated
by the colonial officials
meaning
suggestions recommendations and any
other problems that we observe from that
particular moment 19th century
two were talking what an opportunity
among filipinos
so no wonder jose rizal marcelo h del
pilar grashanda lopez
and other youthful patriots launched
the propaganda movement okay which paved
the way
for the philippine revolution of 1896
okay number four napogo sapa natin is
the human rights
denied the filipinos okay since the
adoption of the spanish constitution
of 1812 una mentioned kanina and other
constitutions in succeeding years
the people of spain enjoyed freedom of
speech
freedom of the press freedom of
association
and other human rights exempt freedom
of religion so under unica states
1987 constitution okay article three
bill of rights nothing
reflects spaniards or
as far as the implementation of the
spanish colonization in the country
so
um enjoyed freedom of speech freedom of
the press
and freedom of the association okay so
man upon human rights
strangely enough the spanish authorities
that cherish
this human rights or constitutional
liberties in spain
denied them to the filipinos in asia
so an online problem as a human rights
denied the filipinos
meaning to say you're gonna mention
rights
now my experience filipinos can
as far as the constitution of 1812 is
concerned
such inconsistency was lamented by
cyrebaldur dimas
spanish economist and diplomat who wrote
in 1843 sabinya why do we fall into an
anomaly
such as combining our claim for liberty
for ourselves and our wish to impose
our law on remote peoples why do we deny
to others the benefits which we desire
for our fatherland okay
implementation among the rights human
rights and dimensions
implementation spain an implementation
was denied in the philippines
number filipinos during the 19th century
so let's proceed now to number five
which is no equality before the law
okay the spanish missionaries who
introduced christianity into the
philippines
as early as in the 16th century thought
that all
men okay irrespective of color
and race are children of god and as such
they are brothers equal before god
highlight nothing important thought that
all men
irrespective of color and race okay so
hindi nothing teeny tiny and color
chicka rays are children of god so
are children of god according to the
teachings of
christianity espanol
and as such they are brothers equal
before god presentation number spaniards
when they came here
remember the three genus know because i
knew the god gold and glory
okay in practice
however the spanish colonial authorities
who were christians did not implement
christ's precept of the brotherhood of
all
men under the fatherhood
of god okay yunnan presentation nila
pero as to the practice hindi puna apply
but as to how it was implemented
iba
[Applause]
to their imperialist way of thinking
brown filipinos and white spaniards
in comparison with the two groups um who
are present at a time here in the
country
the brown filipinos and the white
spaniards
may be equal before god and concept
may be equal before god but not
before the law and certainly
not in practice so meaning to say
according to the claim of the spaniards
oh equal to you in the eyes of god
but not in the eyes of the law and how
it should be
on the doctrine of that particular
religion and introduce nisa amen
so you know justification and spaniards
in the eyes of god we are
equal but in the eyes of the law and and
the practice
in the country hindi potayo equals
justification among spaniards
consequently
the filipinos were abused brutalized
persecuted and slandered by their
spanish masters
it upon reality before they could not
appeal to the law
for justice because the law being
dispensed by the spaniards
was only for the white spaniards so will
um protect
there is no due process of law in any
circumstances
is only for the white spaniards and
no longer protection to be given to the
brown filipinos that's how they
considered so
on again situation so that is the reason
why
persecuted and slandered no the
existence of the filipinos during those
particular time
as professor ferdinand blumenthale wrote
to dr jose rizal in 1887
the provision of the penal code that a
heavier penalty will be imposed
on the india or mestizo irritates me
exceedingly sabini blue mandread because
it signifies that every person not born
white is in fact a latent criminal
so you know highlighted in statement
as far as the implementation of the
spaniards is concerned way back
19th century sabine is accounting
statement
because it signifies that every person
not born white
is in fact a latent criminal because of
your color
because of your race okay automatically
you will be considered
as criminal according to the
constitution that was framed
by the spaniards
situation 19th century in the country
this is a very great injustice
that seems enormous and unjust for
being embodied in law now you're not
prevailed during those times
but you're not applying here in our
country
so let's proceed now to number six which
is the mal administration of justice
okay the courts of justice in the
philippines during results time
were notoriously corrupt meaning to say
known as
courts of justice panagunpo in the 19th
century
verily there were courts of injustice
quote unquote you know
highlight as far as the brown filipinos
were concerned
the spanish judge's fiscals prosecuting
attorneys
and other court officials were in it
okay or no skill alarms
vinal so because prone to
bribery and oftentimes
ignorant of the law but the occupied
positions in the government why because
controlled pilipinas controlled
political
justice was costly here's the
philippines
partial
justice was costly partial and slow
nabaka expensive punya
posnapaka bagal pong proceedings poor
filipinos had no
access to the courts because they could
not
afford the heavy expenses of litigation
okay napa expensive processes or
violence is some case
wealth social prestige and color of skin
where preponderance or meaning to say
irrespective of the weight of the
evidence
irrespective of the weight of evidence
a rich man or a spaniard whose skin was
white okay easily achieved
victory in any litigation so
whose skin was white usually
[Applause]
to the filipino masses a litigation in
court
was a calamity the expenses incurred
even in a simple lawsuit often
exceeded the value of the property at
issue so meaning to say napa expensive
during those times so that in many
instances
the litigants okay unluck violent case
found themselves impoverished at the
end of the long tassel like for example
you are a native
elite or a um familiar
pilipinas okay pure filipino
and then conflict with a pure spaniard
okay because
in filing a case
progress okay because at the end of the
day
spaniards spaniards
in a certain case okay criminal cases
dragged on for many years
during which period either the
delinquents
took the flight okay or the documents
were lost
because immediately um that particular
spaniard could immediately travel going
back to the aboriginal peninsula talking
back
um we're talking now the state of spain
in europe
okay immediately might travel
to s
especially when you submitted already
your evidence says
so it could happen
instability of colonial administration
second one
is corrupt colonial officials the third
one is no philippine representation in
the spanish cortez
number four we have the human rights
denied the filipinos
number five we have no equality before
the law and number six we have mal
administration of justice
and continuation and discussion a to the
part of our discussion
say eleven social evils at bukas
happenings here in our country so that
will be all for this morning i hope you

hope that you will share this video to
your friends and to anybody else that
