The Problem with other Filipino who criticize Spanish Occupation also criticize the culture that was installed to the Filipino Catholics. Saying this culture doesn't exist to the Filipinos.They criticize the culture of Filipino Catholics. Most of the Festival of the Filipinos are still connected to the Church dedicated to their patron saint. They are denying that Filipino Catholics embrace this kind of culture including the celebration of Todos Los Santos and Santacruzan or Flores de Mayo.
Pasyon or Saeta is one of the Traditional Culture of Filipino Catholics
in Filipino/Tagalog we called it Pabasa or Pasyon during Semana Santa

I fully accepted my being Filipino. Origin of Filipino word came from who?
No matter what you say, You cannot hide the fact and history. That Spain named the Archipelago
and unite us all as a Nation that became Philippines and we became Filipinos and if you cannot accept that fact it is your problem anymore.

The difference between the French Colonization of Vietnam and the Spanish Colonization of the Philippines is that the French didn't really share so much their culture with the Viets.. Yes they did introduce some things but not the same as what the Spanish did to the Filipinos.. That's why among all the European colonies in Asia, the Philippines is the only one that is very noticeable. There is also an English writer from Hongkong that said that the other colonizers ( French, Dutch and English ) didn't really try to blend with the natives of their Asian colonies ( interracial marriages were really very few ) . In the Philippines, people just notice few meztisos because when the Americans came, the Spanish mixed Filipinos moved back to Spain and some in Latin America.. it made sense for them to leave because what would they be doing there when the country was already under the hands of American people ? But even if most of them left, there were still some that stayed and the Spanish meztisos in the Philippines even if they're just few now are still definitely more than other European colonies in Asia. Even in Macau that the Portuguese were there till 1998 and there are still some Portuguese left there, you don't see Portuguese meztisos there., the Portuguese didn't really get married to the Chinese people there.. And the people in Macau didn't really get the Portuguese culture.

It's mainly because Chinese and Vietnamese had long been unified nations with their own culture and identity, respectively.
It was not the case in the Philippines.
Also, Catholic colonists tend to mix with locals too. In North America, they just killed and killed...

So let us all admit that the Spanish really made a very big contribution to the Filipino culture and identity. But I should say, among other European Conquistadores, the Spanish were really the most aggressive ones to share their culture because the Indians in Latin America also had their own culture and identity but they were able to reach out to them.
