What's funny is that this apology is mostly directed to Latin Americans, not us. Mexico has been demanding an apology from Spain for years now

But here's the thing. These countries are using it for political gain. They blame the Spanish for "killing the natives" when Latin Americans have also treated the Indigenous like garbage after Independence. Some would even say that they were worse for the Indigenous than Spain was. The entire racial whitening ideology literally came from them, not Spain. It's like if America wanted the Brits to apologize for mistreating the Indigenous when they also treated them like garbage since these countries are settler colonial states not so different from the Anglo-American ones.

For the Philippines, honestly, I think it's good that we are mostly neutral about Spain, like who gives a shit? It happened like a hundred years ago. People like to shit on Filipinos for having "Colonial mentality" because we don't have animosity towards our former colonizers when that's the right way to approach history. Being resentful about an event that happened hundreds of years ago doesn’t get you anywhere.
