Philippine revolts against Spain

During the Spanish colonial period, 1521–1898, in the Philippines there were several revolts against the Spanish colonial government by indigenous Moro, Lumad, Indians, Chinese ( Sangleys) and Insulares, ( Mestiso) often with the goal of re-establishing the rights and powers that had traditionally belonged to Lumad Timueys, Maginoo Rajah and Moro Datus.

Most of these revolts failed because the Friars always invoked Roman Catholism to the majority of the local population to side up with the well armed colonial government and to fight with Spanish as foot soldiers to put down the revolts.

It is also worthy to mention that in Mindanao and Sulu, a continuous defense of their sovereignty was sustained against all odds by the Bangsamoro and their allies for the whole duration of Spanish conquest and rule (over 300 years).

The Dagami Revolt was a revolt against Spanish colonial rule led by the Family Dagami, in the island of Leyte in the Philippines, in 1567.

The Lakandula and Sulayman Revolt, also known as the Tagalog Revolt, was an uprising in 1574 against Spanish colonial rule led by Lakandula and Rajah Sulayman in Tondo Manila. The revolt occurred in the same year as the Chinese pirate Limahong attacked the palisaded yet poorly defended enclosure of Intramuros. This Revolt was caused by losing Soliman and Lakandula's kingdom when they were defeated by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi to accept the Spanish sovereignty on the promise that they would be well-treated by the Spaniards and would still retain some of their royal and political powers.
