     Manila became the center of Spain government including military, religious and commercial activities in the island. The Philippines was administered as a province of New Spain until Mexican Independence on 1821.

            The Muslims of Western Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago conquered the Spanish colonial control. The Spanish conducted continual military campaigns against the Muslims but got no certain results until after the 19th century.
