Christian missionary:

Occupation~ Missionaries go to other countries and try to convert them to a certain religion. In this case, missionaries went to the Philippines to convert Catholic Filipinos/Spaniards into Christians.

Position on issue~ Missionaries welcomed imperialisim with open arms. Imperialism opened many doors in the way of converting others. Considering this is all missionaries do, not many opportunities appear. Imperializing creates the best possible scenario to go convert others.

Reasons of interest~ Converting people of another religion to Christianity; promoting any and all ideas about Christianity; spreading this Christian influence from the imperialized area to maybe its parent country or surrounding countries; establish Evangelical churches in the area
