Economic Policies of Spanish Government
Nowadays, and thank to the constitution, Spanish government respects full all rights of tits citizen. Now Spain has no official religion. The constitution disestablished the Roman Catholic Church as the official state of religion, although more than 90% of the population are at least nominally Catholic. Spain enjoys political plurality and freedom of speech.

The Spanish Colonial Government
The Philippine Islands first came to the attention of Europeans when Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed there on 1521, claiming the lands of Spain. He was defeated by Lapu-lapu, a native chieftain, at the battle of Mactan, where he died. However, his ships reached the Spice Islands. The navigational charts of one of the ships, the Victoria, which circumnavigated the globe, were delivered to Seville in 1522. In 1529, by the treaty of Zargosa,Spain relinquished all claims to the Spice Islands to Portugal. This treaty did not stop subsequent colonization.

Beliefs And Practices of Islam

Beliefs....
Muslims believe that there is only one god(allah). In Islam to believe in Allah's existence but also to believe in all Allah's attributions, to worship Allah alone, and to obey all Allah's commands. Muslims do not believe that Allah sleeps, gets tired, or dies. Those attributes are only for Allah's creatures. Allah has neither weakness of weariness. Muslims do not believe that human beings are created in the image of Allah. Muslims believe that there is no intermediary who will take any one nearer to Allah or plead on anyone's behalf. They believe that any individual can directly supplicate to Allah and ask for anything he/she wants.

My Social Relevance on the film "Jose Rizal"
When I was watching the film "Jose Rizal" i always close my eyes, because i don't want to see how Spaniards treated the Filipinos before. Even the Filipinos tell the truth that they did not do anything wrong still the Spaniards hurt them or suffer from they're hands even the boy, the sakristan of the father Damaso, he wiped him using the sling. The SociaL Relevance for me is FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND DEMOCRACY.
"Historical Significance of the Film"
Historical Significance of the film is that fight for your freedom, justice and liberty Don't fear anything except God even if your blood shed at least you fight for your country. That's all.
"Jose Rizal"

The story Jose Rizal starring Cesar Montano he's full name is Jose Protacio Mercado Rizal y Realonda. It started a man writing novels about how Spaniards treated them and eventually fought for and achieved independence after a bloody revolution. He even enrolled November 3, 1883 and finished doctorate courses on medicine. When he went to Europe he spread out his novels to our country and to other country to know on how the Spaniards treated us. When he went home for the second time and after passing through and staying in HongKong, he organized Liga Filipina to nationally unify the Filipinos. But he was arrested and deported in Northern Mindanao, particularly in Dapitan where he lived for four years. There he met an Irish girl, Josephine Bracken, who became his wife. He left Manila for Spain hoping to contribute his medical skills. But he was arrested before reaching Spain and jailed in Barcelona shipped back in the Philippines and imprisoned at Fort Bonifacio, Manila. After a trial, which was a farce due to hatred of abusive officials and bad friars, he was proven guilty of rebellion, sedition, and illegal association which twisted the truth. The verdict given was death by firing squad which was approved by Governor Camillio who ordered his execution on December 30, 1896. The death of Jose Rizal at Bagumbayan. His Love for the Philippines was indeed shown in his last poem which was later titled "Mi Ultimo Adios"
