Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A group of elite, well-educated individuals whose main focus was Philippine nationalism, were collectively called?

Answer: Ilustrados

The ilustrados were at the forefront of the Philippine independence movement. The term 'ilustrado' means 'enlightened one'.

2. What were people of mixed Spanish-Chinese, Spanish-Native or Chinese-Native ancestry referred to as?

Answer: mestizos

3. The Spanish referred to the natives, the lowest group in the Spanish-imposed class structure, by what term?

Answer: indios

The Peninsulares were all born in the Iberian peninsula. 'Any individuals of Spanish decent' is wrong because those of Spanish decent born in the Philippines were called 'creoles' or 'insulares' (see next question).
