We had the wealthiest and most vibrant cultures since our tribal ancestors were renowned merchants and lived our economy through international markets and trade routes, enriching us throughout the ages. But, sadly, the Imperialist Spaniards robbed and deprived us of our Capitalistic and Mercantilist ways by the imposition of the Imperialist-Statist-feudalist regime of the Spaniards. This curse has been ingrained into the societal and political system that made us poor up to this day.

I was wondering why as many of my ancestors seem to have come from the Kapampangan regions as they were to have come from Batangas or Manila when both of my parents are Southern Tagalog (at least according to Ancestry and 23andMe). Now it makes a lot more sense to know that our Kapampangan and Tagalog ancestors were once united as the Luzones people. This video makes me at least a little more proud to be Filipino, as a whole, and want to learn more about my own Tagalog and Kapampangan roots, alike, since I’ve always felt so detached from our Filipino cultures growing up in Texas. I also appreciate the videos that highlight how our ancestors historically cooperated and had our own native civilizations spanning Luzon to Mindanao and agree with your point that we should come together, as Filipinos, to reclaim our histories and reverse our colonial mentality and tendencies that highlight our ancestors’ differences, based on ethnic/linguistic divisions, rather than their cooperation, kingdoms, etc. while also embracing the diversity of the Philippines and showing respect to members of all Filipino ethnic groups, not just the major or influential ones.

[@serpadz]

sadly the leaders of today are more focused on their own personal interest

[@kairenaaliyahchua2183]

Your forgetting the cordillera chiefdoms, the and Sambals, and ilocanos. Kapangpangans and tagalos were unite as they are related to one another but it does mean all Luzon were united.

[@ChristopherFornesa]

@@kairenaaliyahchua2183 I actually didn’t forget, I just didn’t mention it. Although we’re all related in the sense that we share the same original ancestors our peoples always had differences, not even all peoples of Northern Luzon got along in the same sense that the (Southern) Luzones people had differences with the nearby Bikolanos and Visayans whose own peoples didn’t always get along (very clear seeing how the Battle of Mactan was quite literally fought between the Datus of Cebu and Mactan). My understanding of this is, personally, either complicated or enriched, by the fact that I also have ancestors from Northern, Central and Southeastern Luzon as well as Panay and surrounding islands and how, despite even some of them being from modern-day Southern China, Southern India and Yunnan, they did find ways to unite and accept each other regardless of their differences. So, to me, ancestors (regardless of where on the islands or beyond they came from) may not have always been united but we, now, get a chance at uniting our peoples through our ancestors’ shared linguistic heritage, cultural similarities and shared experiences under colonialism and imperialism by the West. In the same way that our ancestors historically changed ethnic affiliations via intermarriage or migration, future generations will continue to pass down their Filipino heritage and hopefully keep the traditions, practices or beliefs of our ancestors alive. At the same time we also shouldn’t underscore the fact that large cities, such as Manila, Cebu, and even smaller cities like Baguio, attracted people from all over during the times of colonialism and imperialism as well as in the present-day, thus, although most of my ancestors came from areas of the former Southern Tagalog region and Central Luzon, it’s safe to say that many of my non-Tagalog and non-Kapampangan ancestors came to the region due to its proximity to Manila. At the same time, the Kapampangan are actually more linguistically and culturally closely related to the Sambalic peoples than they were to the pre-Tagalog people who, along with the Bikolanos and Visayans, migrated from northern Mindanao to settle in the regions that their descendants (the majority of lowland Filipinos) now reside, intermixing with existing indigenous peoples, such as the Kapampangan and Sambalic peoples, as well as Aeta, Ati, and Agta peoples. These original peoples conducted what is now linguistically known as the Central Philippine language expansion and, as a result, Tagalog and Cebuano are actually both a part of this same linguistic family.

Luzon also sounds very similar to the word for rice mortar, which can be found in many Austronesian languages, which probably began as *nusung in PAN, but some languages in Taiwan already has the form luzung or lusung. Using the shape of a rice mortar to describe the shape of Manila Bay is actually pretty apt.

[@khust2993]

Yes, the pronunciation of Luzon is similar with the Tagalog term lusong (rice mortar), same stress as well. During Tomas Pinpin's time in early 1600s, Tagalogs still referred Luzon as Lusong.

[@AXimab]

From the perspective of China, Luzon including the Bicol peninsula looks like a mortar and pestle.

[@paiwanhan]

@@AXimab I think you mean to say from the perspective of space, since prior to the Muslims reaching China, China's maps are notoriously inaccurate. As mentioned in the video, the name Luzon used to refer to the region and peoples living around Manila Bay, and didn't become the name for the entire island and even adjacent islands until much much later. It's similar to how Taiwan was the name for the Austronesian people living in region where the Dutch built Fort Zeelandia, and later expanded to include surrounding regions encompassing present day Tainan, and finally became the name for the entire island, forcing the original region to be renamed to Tainan, meaning Southern Taiwan in Chinese.

[@AXimab]

@@paiwanhan Chinese seafarers would have discovered that the Bicol peninsula was not an island of its own. When did Muslims reach China ?-- as early as the Tang dynasty. The Cantonese and other southern Chinese peoples refer to their country as the "Land of Tang" (rather than the "Land of Han"). The Chinese traditionally saw the world as one with the emperor facing south, and from that perspective you have a long square thing with the Bicol peninsula sprouting from it like a pestle from a mortar. That's all I meant. I don't particularly buy the video's etymology of Lusong (from the perspective facing north, as on most modern maps, the mortar and pestle are upside down). Again we are dealing with mapmaking traditions that do not take literal geographic reality as something to depict but one that depicts time travel distances.

[@paiwanhan]

@@AXimab I wonder if you even watched the video, since Kirby didn't give the mortar etymology in the video. I'm simply making a comment on this other take on Luzon's etymology from the perspective of Austronesian Formosan languages. It is exactly because China's map making traditions not only do not take literal geographic reality into consideration that it would be impossible for them to see the whole of Luzon's shape as a mortar. It is more likely that the first people who arrived around Manila Bay saw the shape of the bay on top of nearby mountains and thought the bay itself looks like a mortar.

There were records of Spaniards using the Panay Visayan soldiers to invade Manila in the Battle of Bangkusay. Philippines from Pampanga, Katagaluguan, Palawan, Panay, Cebu, Bohol, Lanao, Butuan, and Sulu have some rather prominent links with Brunei, Java, Southeast Sulawesi, and Sumatra. Lanao and Bohol had trade links with Moluccas.

[@ontariofirs7347]

@Hanz Kins Ahem, it was documented by the Spanish missionaries that the Moros to the south would pirate and ravage the Catholic Filipino villages in the Visayas. The Moros would take the Catholic Filipinos as slaves since it was against their Islamic religion and Sharia to enslave another Muslim. The Laws of the Indies instituted by King Phillip II of Spain forbade any indios from being slaves since pre-colonial Filipinos were practicing slavery from their raids and conquests before the Spanish came.

Kirby, I'm with you. I think we Filipinos have more sources leaning to the west. So maybe when you say that Lusog did not fall quickly but gradually, include some hard sources. So whenever I hear someone say the opposite, I can quote you and a source and set the record straight then and there. But yeah, please keep churning out contents like this. This stuff is what we lack as Filipinos and why our historical identity in our minds is the 2nd class citizen from the colony of another kingdom.

Yes, the precolonial history of Samtoy (Ilokos), Caboloan (Pangasinan), and Ibalon (Bikol), and Sambales is usually pushed to the wayside for the history of the Lúsung.

@@sykeraid4944 I’m also interested in finding out more about the history of other peoples in Luzon since I have a bunch of relatives on my mother’s side that are fully Pangasinan or Ilokano while my father’s family have been on the Bondoc peninsula, very close to the Visayas and Bikol, for as long as they can reasonably trace their roots.

[@sykeraid4944]

@@ChristopherFornesa Some things I can say about Bikolanos was that the region was called “Ibalon” before Spain’s arrival. Precolonial mga Bikolnon had the same body modifications (pierced penises and gauged ears), the near-exact same tattoo styles as the Bisayans. And the Bikol language has a lot of martial vocabulary. By “martial vocabulary”, I mean that the Bikol language is noted to have the most extensive vocabulary for arms, armament, and military tactics when compared to other languages in the Philippines. Even the Spanish noted they lost more men in Bikol than other regions of the kapuluan.

Esperanza Corazon 1 minute ago (edited) imposibleng aralin ang precolonial history ng hindi tinatackle yung bagong findings ngayon tungkol sa austronesian migration. ang sabi sa theory na yon, galing sa taiwan ang mga ninuno natin. dumating sila sa luzon at nakita ang mga melanesians or aetas. sa cordillera regions muna sila nagstay. tapos nagpuntahan pa south. then pa east and west hanggang umabot hanggang madagascar at hawaii and easter islands and papua new guinea. sa tingin ko, ang word na lusong ay nqagpapatunay sa austornesian theory na galing sa highlands muna ang mga ninuno natin. mula sa highlands ng cordillera, nagsipagbaba sila sa plains at kaya tinawag ang mga lowlands na yon na lusong. at doon din palusong ang mga rivers na galing sa mga bundok...kaya tinawag yun na lusong. at doon din ang tagpuan ng hanging amihan, hanging habagat, at mga easterly winds, kaya talagang doon papalusong ang mga hangin at tubig at ang gravity galing sa mga bundok.

The Cebuano-speakers in the Visayas & Mindanao number by the millions. The idea of a Mindanao Republic as mentioned by ex-Pres. Digong (a Cebuano) could lead to the Bis-daks joining it and form a Bisayà Federal Republic. If that happens then the Tagalogs, etc. of Luzon and other non-Bisdak speakers of the Vis-Min area could then form some sort of a "Ladrones Republic" (whatever that means), at least to discard that colonial-sounding "Republic of the Phils."

Ancient Filipinos have Bornean origin from the families of 10 Datus who migrated the Islands of Panay( Visayas), Luzon and Mindanao to escaped the Tyrant King of Borneo with households using the Balangay ,an ancient sea vessel craft! Moreso; the archipelagos of Modern day Philippines was part of Sri-Visayan Madjapahit Empire and the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo, the south Western part of the Philippines Island Country!

BTW, Lusong also means “to take a dip” in Tagalog.

[@georgedecruz4717]

No, the term Luzon is based from the wooden mortar to remove the husks of rice.

[@khust2993]

No. Luzon is from "lusong" which is that wooden mortar used in rural areas, notice that the stress in "lusong" (to go down) is different from Luzon, while the "lusong" that pertains to mortar has the same stress with pronunciation of Luzon. On top of that, Spanish sources corroborated it, even in Murillo Velarde map from 1734 notes the island's etymology and directs it to the wooden mortar. An interesting note though, in Diccionario Tagalog-Hispano of 1914, the Tagalog term for China is Sungsong (or Songsong in Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala). Sungsong in Tagalog is also the opposite of the verb lusong.

I always wondered why the pre-colonial Filipinos were not wiped out when Europeans made contact. If we look at the history of the native inhabitants of the American continent there are tribes or civilizations which were wiped out due to the diseases brought by the Europeans. My hypotheses are: 1. The Philippines is an archipelago so plagues or diseases will not easily spread. 2. However, if the above is the main reason, the Sugbuanons should have died due to the diseases when they made contact with Magellan and the Spanish/Portuguese. 3. Due to international trade since ancient times our ancestors built up immunity thus having robust bodies. 4. Tambalans or Mananambals were great healers lol

Tagalog is believe to be part of central Philippine language family same as Bisaya, however when this Tagalog migrated towards modern day Metro Manila area, they intermixed to Kapampangans, this is why Tagalog language has this Kapampangan accent and loanwords...

If the Kingdom of Tondo (led by a Lakan), the Kingdom of Namayan (Mandaluyong), the Kingdom of Maysapa (Pasig), and other major and minor Kadatuans in Central and Southern Luzon were under the rulership of Lusong, why is Dayang Kalangitan not considered as a Maharajah (equivalent of Sultan) of Lusong?

[@KirbyAraullo]

She was. The title "Dayang" is somewhat a misnomer. Most people today refer to Kalangítan, Pánginuan (Panginoan), and Sasanban (Sasaban) with the title Dáyang preceding their “given” names, however, according to Kapampángan Culture and Oral Traditions, their “given” names were actually their royal/regnal titles/reign names. It means that putting “Dáyang” before “Kalangítan” or “Pánginuan” and “Sasanban” is not just redundant but also somewhat demoting their rank from being rightful queens to a lady or a princess.
