This past two days 19, 20 Feb 2015, I brought my two Aunts to see the St. Augustine Churches in Santa Maria and Bantay Ilocos Sur and then Paoay, Ilocos Norte and they were truly a sight to behold from my first time to my third time. But I see them also in a different frame, since I have been researching and studying the Spanish Colonial period when the Spanish installed Catholicism under the sword. I see each brick and stone set with the blood and sweat of thousands upon thousands of Filipinos who were forced to build these churches under the strict rules of polos and services which under the Spanish laws was limited to 15 hours per month but the natives were forced to work until completion causing great harm and stress to families of the SLAVES. Yes, the Indio Filipino was a slave to do bidding for the Spanish at their whim and will. The Filipino was punished under the lash or pain of death if they did not comply. In Aguinaldo's writings during the 1898 Revolution, his directives was for the total extrication of the all Spanish priests who have caused all the mischief along with all the Spanish secular. Aguinaldo's hate for the Spanish was well documented. Such beauty such desecration of the Filipino with each brick and stone.Garlandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16934265380849778868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31231697.post-85421298824694894782009-08-09T14:14:35.905+08:002009-08-09T14:14:35.905+08:00hi ..... we are currently studying short stories.....hi ..... we are currently studying short stories..... do you have a copy of the full story of morning in nagrebcan by Manuel arguilla.
