#1 The blood compact is an ancient Filipino tradition. It was a blood compact between the conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legaspi and the native chief Sikatuna in 1565 that marked the Philippines peculiar social contract between native chiefs and Spanish overlords that allowed Spain to take over most of the Philippines with little fighting. The Anti-Spanish resistance (the Katipunan) in 1896 also used a blood compact to secure the conspirators loyalty.
