For example, tax collectors would collect more than the usual amount of the "tributo" or tribute tax, triggering the Ilocanos, Ibanags, and others in Northern Luzon to revolt in 1589.

    The nature of the taxes imposed during the Spanish colonial period in the

    Philippines and the abusive way of tax collection prompted the revolts across several
    provinces in the country. To illustrate, the hated tributo or tribute (a type of tax that
    amounted to 8 reales) was abused by tax collectors who collected higher than the usual
    amount and this triggered the Filipinos in Northern Luzon (Ilocanos, Ibanags, etc.) to
    revolt in 1589 or the Cagayan and Dingras Revolts. Furthermore, the unfair conditions
    experienced by the Filipinos like, in 1660, Francisco Maniago and his fellow
    Kapampangans took arms against the Spaniards due to the exploitation of their
    harvested rice simply, not paying what they (the Spaniards) purchased (the rice). These
    lead us to understand that the Filipinos who actually owned the land were required to
    submit what they have to the Spaniards in a broken system of revenue collection.
    Taking everything into account, the Spanish government and their tax collectors in their
    occupation in the country abused the Filipinos by collecting high taxes and exploiting
    their properties.
