    The Spanish governed the Philippines through the Ministry of the Colonies, which administered centralized power over executive, legislative, judicial, and religious matters. There were two main types of government: the central government headed by the Governor General, and local governments. Local governments included provinces headed by Alcalde Mayores, cities headed by mayors and councils, towns headed by Gobernadorcillos, and barangays headed by Cabezas de Barangay. Spanish laws like the Laws of the Indies and Las Siete Partidas were applied, though they did not always protect Filipino rights and often led to oppression.
