What is the characteristic of a Filipino Catholic?

Filipinos who embraced Catholicism as introduced by the Spaniards. Those who accepted submission to the Spanish Catholic Friar's colonization. Quick definitions (submissive)

* adjective: willing to submit without resistance to authority; deferent * adjective: inclined or willing to submit to orders or wishes of others or showing such inclination (Example: "Submissive servants") . We have a saying among free-thinking Filipinos (which are very few but growing) that says; "When the Spanish Priests came, we (the Filipinos) have the gold and they have The Bible. When the Priests left, we have the Bible, they have the gold." The same is true to other countries that the Spanish Priests colonized. Puerto Rico, San Salvador, Mexico, etc. The same is also true to countries were the Protestants or other religions colonized.
