The Spaniards partook in a blood pact with precolonial Filipinos as a way to integrate the Filipinos and gain their allegiance to the Spanish crown. However, the Spaniards viewed the pact primarily as a military and political maneuver to win over supporters and facilitate conversion to Christianity, rather than as a genuine agreement between equals. Meanwhile, the Filipinos saw the blood pact as affirming their own allegiance but also establishing a perpetual bond and union with the Spaniards. The event between Sikatuna and Legazpi in 1565, where they entered a blood compact, later became important in establishing a narrative of Filipino nationhood and independence from Spanish rule.
