Absence ofnationalismLack of leaders to unite the whole archipelago.Regional hostilityArchipelagic nature of the Philippines prevented a steady communication in the provinces.Superiority of the Spanish armsThe betrayals and assasinations of rebel leaders.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EARLY REVOLTS

Not with standing their failure, the early Filipino revolts were of vast significance.Indubitably, they proved that the Filipinos were not satisfied to remain as oppressed, dependent people and that if given a chance to do so, they never hesitated or faltered to strike for dignity, liberty and happiness.

Moreover, out of the ashes of the unsuccessful revolts of the Filipino arose the spirit of dynamic nationalism.The failure of their periodic uprisings taught them the bitter lesson that they could never free themselves from Spanish misrule by struggling separately as separate tribes, but that they had to unite and fight the common welfare of the father land
