The Philippines was supposed to be incorporated in the waning days of the Cholan Empire that controlled southern India, Sri Lanka, parts of the Malay Peninsula and parts of Indonesia. Many expeditions were sent but they all failed, such as the expedition by the first chief of Cebu, Sri Lumay, who is a minor prince that then controlled the island of Sumatra, rebelled against the Cholan Empire and established his own rajhanate instead on the island of Cebu. His family controlled the island till its last rajah died, rajah tupas - with a lineage that goes back to Sri Lumay. We have deep ties with our neighbors, we were literally smack dab in the middle of everything else.

I'm glad that you've covered the accounts of European contact with the Filipinos as there aren't as many written records regarding Pre-Colonial Filipino society as our history was mostly told orally or written on bamboo, though, they don't preserve well and some might have been destroyed by the Spaniards. I've also managed to find some interesting sources on Pre-Colonial life such as the use of gunpowder by the Filipinos, though, not in a huge amount as not many kingdoms had possessed them. According to one source I've read online from a book called The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, a chronicler states " All of their arms, for both sea and land, are fire-bombs. They have quantities of gunpowder, in the shape of loaves. Their artillery, although not large is poor. They have also, and quite commonly poor, culverins and arquebuses so that they depend mainly on their lances. I am informed that they do not fear the arquebuses very much, because they themselves are so poor shot with them, and are amazed at seeing a hen or pigeon killed with an arquebuse shot. They fear lances more than other weapons. " And another that states "Since they have seen the Spaniards use their weapons, many of the natives handle the arquebuses and muskets quite skilfully. Before the arrival of the Spaniards, they had bronze culverins and other pieces of cast iron, with which they defended their forts and settlements, although their powder is not so well refined as that of the Spaniards." The culverins that the European explorers were referring to would most likely be a Lantaka, which was a small cannon that was used throughout Maritime Southeast Asia that could be mounted on boats and forts.

[@buteos8632]

Sword_Saint -Kusanagi isn't 15th century post european contact? doesn't correlate with your point of pre-colonial gunpowder, more like they learned how to make gunpowder from the Europeans 😉

[@junglerajah7838]

Buteos I forgot to mention that this account was from a European explorer shortly after the colonization of the Philippines in 1565 by Miguèl Lopez De Legazpi. I’ve also read from another site that some of the cannon makers were originally from the Majapahit Empire & moved to different parts of Maritime Southeast Asia, such as the Philippines, to continue their work as the Majapahit Empire was dissolving & their need for black powder weaponry wasn’t in high demand. I’m not quite sure why the author of the book that I’ve read put in 1493 on the book’s title.

[@manlypedro75]

Interesting. I wonder how many facets of the story exist, considering Taoists in what is today China had invented Gunpowder in the 900s (according to mainstream western Academia). How much commerce existed with the Tang dynasty, and intermingling... WHere does the Philippines stand in the "Chinese" records? Or even Indian or Vedic for that matter...

[@junglerajah7838]

​@manlypedro75 I'm not quite sure when lowland Filipinos had acquired gunpowder or whether or not they got it from the Chinese or Malays. Our pre-colonial history can be difficult to understand as there aren't a lot of sources that cover a variety of topics, such as the one I've just mentioned. Legazpi did mention a Chinese arquebus he found on a Chinese junk docked in the Philippines during its colonization, but I highly doubt that it was used by the natives. It could be around the 16th century when the Majapahit Empire was nearing its end, but this is just my guess. I can't know for sure.

Chief Lapu-Lapu, the leader of the Island of Mactan where Magellan died actually have a vast and rich history. He was originally a pirate and a prince from Borneo and got adopted by the "Christian King" of Cebu. The reason why they were fighting was that because Lapu-Lapu kept his life as a pirate disrupting peace in the region. Hence the name Mactan, from the Bisaya word Mangangatang meaning bandits. Edit: I should point out what I meant with Christian King of Cebu is the conversion of Rajah Humabon to Christianity and adopting a Christian Name.

That "jet black bird" may be referred to a crow or in the local language is "uwak". We Filipinos even on these modern times can get superstitious and a crow in a sight suggests a premonition; the bird species is often associated with myths and urban legends depending on which region and province and town and municipality and city you live but a common belief is that a crow is somewhat linked either with a "Sigbin", a shapeshifter or a "Tiktik", a darkly winged sometimes having resemblance to a human, both are creatures of Philippine mythology and are often subjects to local folklores and the reason why the ancient natives won't tell anything is because they are overshadowed by fear of mentioning these creatures and by doing so, they are expected to receive bad luck or a "visit" from these monsters.

Magellan had Malay slaves called Enrique de Mallaca/ Henry the Black/Enrique Panglima Awang. It is said to be the first man whom circumnavigate the world because Magellan didn't make it. Magellan captured Enrique when the Portuguese ransacked Malacca now Malaysia, ( The fall of Malacca). He brought Enrique to him as a slaves because Enrique can speak in many tongues especially Malay language. As an explorer like Magellan Enrique is really helpful in communicating with the natives.

Unfortunately the Spaniards underestimated thier opponenets. Unlike the "Tondo" (modern day manila) who were tributaries to the Chinese Emperors, the Bisayans specifically the Majahas regularly fought againts the Imperial trade ships, navy and privateers. So they were no strangers to fighting opponents wearing armor or those using cannons. Lapu lapu made sure his warriors fought out of range of the spanish cannons and they all aimed for the legs which were unarmored. Fighting in the beaches hindered the spanish because of all the heavy armor they wore weighed them down in the wet sand while the warriors of mactan were able to dance and evade the arquebus shots and crossbow bolts.

[@012689]

@Sumi Im not gonna argue with you there. My ancestors were enemies of the Tondo and the Yuan Dynasty of China, so yes Chinese ships were targeted. Even Admiral Zheng He of the Ming avoided us during his voyages later on. The Chinese had access to Cannons and Armor so as I said "no strangers to fighting opponents wearing armor or those using cannons".

[@justinnamuco9096]

Tondo were tributaries to China?

[@012689]

@@justinnamuco9096 Yes, in the pre-spanish era if you wanted to do trade with the imperial court you would be registered in the records as a tributary, in exchange for "tribute" you were given "gifts". That was how trade was done and recorded back then. All who traded were labeled as tributaries.

[@012689]

@LagiNaLangAko23 True, the Empire was a major part of the old trade network. And modern day china still is. But how trade is conducted and how "trade partners" treat one another will be up to how the powers that be go about diplomacy. Remember the main reason the Maragtas and the Kingdom of Nippon (modern day Japan), stopped being tributaties was because the Yuan dynasty basically threatened everyone with invasion. In fact if the invasion of Japan had succeeded then the rest of SEA would have been next. Proper trade only slowly resumed when the Ming took over the Empire and when the Spanish took over most of the Philippines.

Where is Lapu-lapu warrior of mactan who fight portoguese and spaniards and killed Ferdinand magellan . Europe have vikings and Asia have Pintados (Visaya) from Philippines. There was a time in the history of the world when the Chinese trembled when they heard the word Pi-she-yeh (Visayas), referring to the country and people of the eponymous region in the Philippines. Whenever word reached them of an incoming attack from Pi-she-yeh, they immediately retreated. And they were right to be afraid. A Chinese government official named Chau Ju-Kua was the first to document the Visayans as “ferocious raiders of China’s Fukien coast” who were thought to come from the islands south of Taiwan. At first, the Chinese thought the raiders were barbarians from Taiwan, but wondered whether they could be foreigners because they looked different and spoke a different language. In the 12th century, ancient Filipinos had earned a status of notoriety as masters of the sea and expert raiders. Their appearance on any shore was an ominous sign of impending catastrophe: Balanghay ships from the Visayas would carry hordes of ancient tattooed warriors known as Pintados, who would ransack and pillage every house in sight.

Their point of view: European history at the time was basically the Ottoman Empire and a few minor European states being marginalised every year. This was shortly after the fall of Constantinople to the Muslim empire. The 4th of 5 major ancient Christian capitals (Alexander, Jerusalem, Antioch, Rome). One of the greatest cities in the world, where trade flourished. That would probably never happen if the turks didn't dominate and enslave Europe at the time and monopolised the silkway/spice trade/Slavic slave trade. Any coastline, from North Africans invading Iceland, England, and south throughout the Mediterranean, and up the Black Sea, and deep into Slavic country, far northwest into Poland was at the mercy of turkic led Corsair eslavers.
