Why did the spanish conquer the Philippines rather than set up trading posts?

Explanation:

The history of the Philippines is believed to have begun with the arrival of the first humans using rafts or boats[1][2][3] at least 709,000 years ago as suggested by the discovery of Pleistocene stone tools and butchered animal remains associated with hominin activity.[4] Homo luzonensis, a species of archaic humans, was present on the island of Luzon at least 67,000 years ago.[5][6] The earliest known modern human was from Taboon Cave in Palawan dating about 47,000 years.[7] Negrito groups were the first inhabitants to settle in the prehistoric Philippines. After that, groups of Austronesians later migrated to the islands.
