Dingras Revolt

The Dingras Revolt or the Ilocos Norte Revolt, part of the Revolts Against The Tribute, happened in 1589 against Spanish colonial rule in Dingras, in the province of Ilocos Norte, the Philippines. It was caused by unjust taxation and alleged abuses by tax collectors of the Spanish colonial government and began when six tax collectors who had arrived from Vigan were killed. In response, Governor-General Santiago de Vera sent Spanish and Filipino colonial troops to quell the uprising. Eventually the rebels were pardoned, and the Philippine tax system reformed.[1]
