The British Siege of Manila
The British occupation of Manila was a result of thewar between France and Great Britain. This is knownas “The Seven Years War” which lasted from 1756-1763. This was partly due to the two countries’struggle for power over India and North America.Since Spain sided with France, Great Britainattacked the Spaniards in Manila.
Inspired by the British
When the British attacked Manila in September of1762, Diego was there waiting for the galleon that would be arriving from Mexico. At that time, Philippines was being governed by a friar, Archbishop Manuel Rojo. The colony lacked able leadership and in addition, the British were far superior. The defeat of the Spaniards was witnessed by Diego Silang which led him to believe that Spain was not that powerful after all. He planned to challenge the authority of Spain in Ilocos. His revolt inspired people from neighboringparts of Northern Ilocos to revolt also and Silang was able to temporarily wrestle power in Ilocosfrom the Spaniards.
Who is Diego Silang?
Diego Silang y Andaya (December 16, 1730 – May 28, 1763)
was a revolutionary leader who conspired with British forces to
overthrow Spanish rule in the northern Philippines and establish
an independent Ilocano nation. His revolt was fueled by
grievances stemming from Spanish taxation and abuses, and by
his belief in self-government, that the administration and
leadership of the Roman Catholic Church and government in the
Ilocos be invested in trained Ilocano officials.
Though Silang initially wanted to replace Spanish functionaries in
the Ilocos with native-born officials and volunteered to head
Ilocano forces against the British, desperate Spanish
administrators instead transferred their powers to the Catholic
Bishop of Nueva Segovia (Vigan), who rejected Silang's offer.
Silang's group attacked the city and imprisoned its priests. He
then began an association with the British who appointed him
governor of the Ilocos on their behalf and promised him military
reinforcement. The British force never materialized.

Why was Silang’s revolt significant?
Diego Silang’s revolt was significant because even for a short period of time, he was able to liberate Ilocos from the Spaniards. When the Spaniards handed over Manila to the British, Silang assumed that Spanisgcolonialism was no longer legitimate in all parts of the colony. Because of this, he agued that the collection of tribute and polo y servicio were no longer legitimate. He also insisted that Ilocos be governed by a Filipino.
The story of Silang showed his role as one of the early advocates of Filipino nationalism.
Death and Legacy
Diego Silang was killed by one of his friends, a Spanish-Ilocano mestizo named Miguel Vicos, whom church authorities paid to assassinate Silangwith the help of Pedro Becbec. He was 32 years old.
After Silang's death, his Spanish-Ilocana mestiza wife, Josefa Gabriela, took command of the revolt and fought courageously. The Spanish sent a strong force against her. She was forced to retreat to Abra. Gabriela led her troops towards Vigan but was driven back. She fled again to Abra, where she was captured. Gabriela and her men were summarily hanged on September 20, 1763; she being hanged the last.

The Basi Revolt
In 1807, another revolt took place in
Ilocos. This was a reaction to the
monopoly on wine implemented by
the Spaniards. The basi or sugarcane
wine was the native wine in Ilocos.
The Spaniards forced the Ilocanos to
sell their basi to the colonial
government. They were also
prohibited from drinking their own
native wine. If they wanted to have a
taste of their basi, they were ordered
to buy from the stores owned by the
Spanish government. This led to the
outbreak of the “basi revolt”.
Sumuroy’s Revolt
In the Visayas, Agustin
Samuroy led the revolt on
Samar in 1649 – 1650. The
revolt was against polo y
sercivio. Governor General
Fajardo polistas (the ones who
render polo y sercivio) from
Visayas to be brought to Cavite
for galleon building. The revolt
spread to Albay, Camarines,
Cebu, Masbate, and northern
Mindanao but it was defeated
by the Spanish forces.
