At the beginning of the 16th century, a Spanish shift captained by Magallanes
disembarked in what is today referred to as the Philippines Islands. From 1565 to
1898 Spain maintained her sovereignty over the territory. Until then, the islands were
administered from Mexico City and controlled through the port of Acapulco. During
this time, the Philippines Islands were governed by the Spanish normative: the Partidas,
the Novísima Recopilación and the racopilación de las Leyes de Indias. The
supreme judicial body was the Royal Audiencia, which was later divided into two
divisions: Sala de lo Civil and Sala de lo Penal. Before gaining independence, the
Código Penal (1887), the Código de Comercio (1889) and the Código Civil (1889)
were introduced in the islands. These three codes have greatly influenced the applicable
law nowadays in Philippines. |
