The Philippines was a colony of Spain. It had a governor-general who answered to the King of Spain. Mostly the communities were centered around 2 main buildings (the church and the city hall). this shows that the church had a great deal of power in running political and government affairs.

well, the philippines is the only pre-dominantly roman catholic country in asia.  it claims to be christian yet the population still dabbles in superstition and folklore.  as an example, many put much credence in faith healers.  but then again, it can be argued that faith healing (pagan or christian) is more affordable than traditional medicine so many believe in it.  also, filipinos are so catholic that they do not believe in birth control, thus the population, exacerbated by poverty, is out of control.\n\nevery township or district in the philippines has their own patron saint, whom they commemorate in festivals.  usually, these festivals coincide with the beginning of the monsoon season.  in the pre-christian era, these festivals were pagan traditions of the natives to invoke rain for their crops; catholicism simply took them over.  \n\nmany filipinos are devout catholics, yet i find most of them very uninformed about their religion.  those who are more knowledgable are usually the well to-do class, who are educated in the prestigious, private catholic schools in the country.  though poverty-stricken, the population of this country has a very strong faith in God to provide them a better life in the near future; to them, it's their only hope.\n\nbtw, if you are in a car with a filipino and you happen to drive by a church, don't be surprised if he/she crosses him/herself---it's a habit they've grown up with. \n\nhehehe...

1.) This was America's first true colonial war as a world power.\n\n2.) After defeating Spain in Cuba and in the Philippines in 1898, the U.S. purchased the Philippines, Puerto Rico and several other islands from the Spanish.\n\n3.) Following the surrender of the Spanish colonial government in the Philippines to American military forces in August,1898, tensions developed between U.S. and Filipino forces near Manila. The American government decided to keep the Philippines as a colony, thereby denying independence to the Filipino people. Aguinaldo and his army of nearly 80,000 veteran troops realized that their "allies" in the Spanish War would soon become foes.\n\n4.) As early 1899, U.S. and Filipino forces faced off as a tense situation became worse. American forces held the capitol of Manila, while Aguinaldo's army occupied a trench-line surrounding the city.\n\n5.) Independence for the Philippines was delayed until 1946.

Rights and duties vary from country to country. I would suggest that you secure some books such a Civil Code,a Family Code, and a book on Rights of Women and Children. In the Philippines, here, these are the best sources for answers to your question. But if you are not in the Philippines, buy some books which are similar in nature to the ones I mentioned.

For starters, the government should enforce law and order---and crush any disorder that disrupts civic life. The muslims in the south islands are acting like criminals, and no one is standing up to them. Most Filipinos, like other law-abiding people, want to live normally, take care of their families etc. I say not just muslims, any group that fans violence should be crushed.\n\nSecond problem is corruption. Unfortunately, Phillipines is like other 3rd-world countries in that respect. A real reform-minded parliament and executive branch would do wonders for the economy. Did you know that more than 30% of taxes are not collected?\n\nThese are just a couple of things they can do. But, it starts out with the voters. Phillipines (thank God) is still a democracy and voters have to live with the government they choose--so far they have not chosen well.
