Bandala is an indirect tax, wherein natives relinquish crops to the Spanish government to reach a certain allocation that the

Spaniards appointed for the area. When a province fails to accomplish the quota, they are required to purchase other towns produce in a much higher value. To compound the abuse, the government compensates a low price in exchange for the goods (most times no payment is received at all). To add to the natives misery, despite yielding no crops due to pests or droughts, it is still expected of them to reach the quota and dissipate money to gain the governments credit. Often, Hispanic collectors take more than what is necessary, leaving little or none for the people themselves. Promissory notes were given in exchange which were seldom redeemed, leading for the government to owe various provinces millions of pesos. From the time it was implemented, this device was used to exploit the Filipinos aversion to comply with Spaniards. It later became an instrument to serve their definite purpose: for Philippines to be a core supplier of raw materials needed by Hispanic people. By then, primitive accumulation aggravated when Spain was in war because numerous resources were deficient, and they saw our country as a door leading to their victory. For that reason, detrimental things were put upon us which devastated and deprived the people of our country.
