Also the Spanish didn’t have enough trained gunners to use the cannons so they had to use normal soilders to control the cannons. The English had smaller and faster ships so they can easily weave in and out of the Spanish ships. While the

of Filipino dishes come from Spain. Spain colonized the Philippines for more than 300 years. It’s no surprise that our dishes have strong Spanish influence. Tweaking the saltiness and sweetness to fit the Filipino taste buds and using more accessible ingredients are the variations done to these Filipino dishes yet they still remain very similar to the Spanish recipe.
