Why was there a lot of mismanagement in the Philippines in the 19th Century? It seemed that it was an 'Anglo-Chinese Colony with a British Flag'. If Spain lost all of it's colonies by the 19th Century, shouldn't they have enough money to invest in the Philippines? Why were the friars and colonial officials fight each other. Why wasn't the Captaincy-General promoted to a Viceroyalty? Why did the colonial government imported a lot of Chinese in the Philippines? If they wanted foreigners, they could've asked for them in Latin America or Spain? I think this is bad because The Spanish would lose control of their country to the Chinese and there would be power struggles between the Chinese and the Spanish.
