Why do you think the Spaniards educated the Filipinos? The main focus of the education in the Spanish Colonization is to teach CHRISTIANITY. They didn’t really want to educate the Filipinos because they might outsmart them.

Can you consider education the greatest legacy of the Spaniards? OF COURSE NOT !!!

As Rizal said, “the cause of our backwardness and ignorance is the lack of means of education, the vice that afflicts us from the beginning until the end of our careers”.
