Its purpose was to promote direct trade between the Philippines and Spain. In addition, it was established to exploit the natural resources of the islands. The tensions between Spain and England negatively affected the operations of Compañia Real de Filipinas. From 1796, it never again prospered. In 1834, the company was abolished by the Spanish crown due to poor management and financial losses) - http://en..org/index.php?title=Real_Compania_de_Filipinas
