                    [Summary] => Today, April 18, 1591, Pope Gregory XIV frees all slaves in the Philippines.


One of the best achievements of Spain in the Philippines during the early years of her colonization was the abolition of slavery.

The laws of the Indies, especially those promulgated in 1526, 1541 and 1588, prohibited and penalized slavery in all Spanish colonies.

However, these laws were not effectively carried out and Philip II issued a royal decree dated August 9, 1589, ordering the emancipation of all slaves in the Philippines.
