Yes thats correct Art.. I was told that the Barangay system was introduced by the Spanish in a way to control the whole of the country,town by town,province by province.. The Spanish friars were given the very first positions of Barangay captains throughout the country,with instructions to convert and control... As you well know..The barangay council system is still active until this day.
What chance did Filipino`s stand?
That said..If it wasn`t for the Spanish I reckon they would ALL be Muslim today..(a bit like the Dutch not speaking Deutsche today coz of the British and Yanks)
So its not all bad!!![]()
