On November 21, 1849, then Governor General Narciso Claveria issued a decree to adopt a standardized Filipino names and surnames. Through the so-called "Claveria Decree", he issued a list of family names in alphabetical order, which were based on a catalog of Spanish surnames. He expanded it by including the names of places, plants, animals, minerals, art products and character traits, both in the native languages and in Spanish. Accordingly, Claveria distributed the list of family names to the heads of the provinces, then the head of each province sent a portion of the list to each parish priest. Depending on what he thought was the number of families in each barangay, the priest allocated a part of the list to the "cabeza" (barangay head). The cabeza was then asked to assist the oldest person of each family to choose a surname, which upon registration, the individual involved as well as his direct descendants would from then on use as family name. Before 1849, Filipinos in general lacked individual surnames which distinguished them by families. They arbitrarily adopted names of saints, resulting in the existence of thousands of individuals of the same surname. This resulted in confusion in the administration of justice, government, finance, and public order. Also, as family names were not transmitted from parents to children, degrees of consanguinity were difficult to assess for the purpose of marriage. Meanwhile, under the Claveria decree, those who changed or did not use the name recorded in the new register would be imprisoned. Documents which did not carry the registered family name would not be considered valid. Hence, since 1850, most Filipinos started using new surnames based on the Claveria list. Those who had consistently used a family name for four generations were given the option to retain it. All others had to have a new surname.
San po ba naka base Yan ehh 110 million tayo na mga Tao sa pilipinas hehehe Peru Kung sa pamahalaan Yan seguro mas marami pa Jan at marami ding mababanggit.
Of course kasi during spanish era required lahat ng filipino na may surname para hindi mahirapan ang spaniards sa pag mention sa kanila at pag pronounce ng actual name ng tao
300 years plus of Spanish rule has made an impact on the Filipino last names.
Surnames didn’t exist back then, ethnic groups only used one name to address themselves
Viva Espanya!!!!
Salamat at nakakuha nako ng magagandang apleyedo hirap magisip eh nagsusulat kase ako ng random names wala lang trip ko lang salamat❤
