Correction: In the video, we stated that Polynesians may have migrated to the Philippines. While there is evidence of Polynesian-style pottery found in the region, the origins and significance of this pottery style are still a topic of debate among scholars. After reading through the many insightful comments on this topic, it appears that the evidence actually suggests that Austronesian-speaking peoples, who shared common ancestry with both Filipinos and Polynesians, may have spread the pottery style throughout the region. We apologize for any confusion or misinformation we may have caused and strive to ensure the accuracy of our content in the future. We appreciate all of the engagement and insights from our viewers, as learning history is always best done through a collective effort. Thank you so much for watching our video!
Austronesians are the native islanders who moved from Taiwan and spread to Malaysia, Indonesia, Madagascar, parts of Thailand and Vietnam. We don’t call ourselves Austronesians anymore because many of us have Chinese, Indian, Spanish, etc bloods. But, as Filipinos we are still predominantly Austronesians. Polynesians are combination of Austronesian and Papuans. That’s why they are bigger and tend to have curly hair. Austronesians tend to have straight hair and aren’t as tall. Both groups were maritime by the time colonialization came.
@@robertvidal3935 The Out of Taiwan theory is also a subject of enormous debates. So do not dwell too much on that as a reality.
@@kahldiss2689 The most accurate would be a combination of migrations from ancient times into the pre-colonial when human movement was curved by colonial powers. But, the most ancient DNA trace for Austronesians come from southern China so some may have migrated on land south to Malaysia and some to Taiwan. And since there were no more land bridges by the time of the Austronesians, either way, they would have sailed to the Philippines.
@@robertvidal3935 Austronesian is not a race. It is a language group. There is no evidence of Austronesian speakers originating from southern China.
@@kahldiss2689What race would you assign to this group? Where would you think people from Taiwan came from if they crossed land bridges?
I think you may have switched the immigration pattern. The Austronesians who had settled in the Philippines (around 2200 BC) migrated to other islands of SE Asia including Papua New Guinea and intermarried with the people there (original migrants from Africa). Those people then continued to sail all over the Pacific islands to become the Polynesians around the time of Christ. The knowledge of pottery traditions of the Lapita civilization of Samoa are linked to the same traditions in Philippines where pottery has been produced since 1500 BC according to archaeological finds of burial jars.
Thats why it baffled me, why came from polynesia when migration patterns came from africa to asia....
Why is an indus script found in the pacific islands.... In the form of rongorongo script
So polynesians go to india too hahaha im really skeptic about the "polynesian to the philippines" part of this video.
Even korean language have southern indian language influence.
so polynesian brought outrigger boats to the philippines... This video is somewhat backwards hehe
most pacific islanders tribes are thought that there ancestors came from distant lands who sailed to the island...
Continental America have been traced even before the time of vikings from Asia along the siberia route.
thanks for your efforts to give brief history of the Philippines. i visited the Philippines in 2019 to 2021 from Toronto Canada. I love Filipino people. will visit again.
Hmmm interesting, where you isolated there by the lockdown? That’s pretty much the time when very few foreigners were in the archipelago, great people and so beautiful country
What are you talking about?… there’s no evidence of back migration from the Pacific Islands into the Philippines. The Pacific Islanders were the ones who came from us. Those potteries have similarities because Austronesians migrated from Taiwan into the Philippines, then they migrated out of the Philippines, towards the Pacific Ocean and those ancient migrants are basically the ancestors of modern Pacific Islanders. Those migrants also mixed with Papuans and Melanesians, hence why modern Pacific Islanders are genetically mixed between Austronesian and Oceanian.
I have melanesian Polynesian and philipino/austronesian dna.. my 3rd great grandfather was from guam and my 3rd great grandmother was from kauai.. that's as far back as I can trace my ancestry.. I also a pulling indigenous Chilean dna which makes me think my andestors is how sweet potatoes got into Polynesia.. granted I am also spanish and Portuguese among other things.. I just think some people settled and others kept moving.. kept interbreeding.. I'm actually pulling dna from all over the world except central asia.. I think dna is going to shed light on the true migratory paths of humanity.. filling in the gaps in our histories...

No one came from the Philippines. The Philippines came from everyone else. Theres a reason why the Philippines is known as "the melting pot of Asia".
They didn’t migrate from Taiwan. The “out of Taiwan theory” has been debunked due to recent archaeological evidence that backs up earlier proof (DNA and linguistic), that the Philippines was the ground zero for Austronesian expansion into the Pacific as you said. Aboriginal Taiwanese came from northern Philippines as they are clearly closely related to the Igorot in culture, language and DNA. Our tattoo tools can be carbondated as far back as 4000 years old. The Philippines was settled through the route from mainland Asia, and Sundalan. Later back migration from Indonesia (Borneo) to Central Philippines Visayas. We even settled as far east as Madagascar from Borneo, the 1st humans there. We also have relatives in Nagaland east India, and Cham people southern Vietnam.
@@kilipaki87oritahiti And how many theories are going to be debunked? These are only theories so stop acting as if you have some sort of undeniable truths.
If you look at the numbers, there are some very obvious connections between the Philippines and Polynesian Islands:
English, Tongan, Samoan, Bikolano(Philippine dialect)
one, taha, tasi, saru
two, ua, lua, duwa
three, tolu, tolu, tulo
four, fa, fa, apat
five, nima, lima, lima
six, ono, ono, anom
seven, fitu, fitu, pito
eight, valu, valu, walo
nine, hiva, iva, siyam
ten, hongofulu, sefulu, sampulo
dont know much of bikolano but one thing for sure, it is a language, not a dialect
Philippines has 7,600+ islands and every island has different dialects but yes your numbers are correct. Our tongue got twisted the minute you sailed to another island.
Linguistic and archaeological evidence suggests the Polynesians came from Asia and went east to cross the Pacific ocean all the way to Easter Island and beyond. One of the similar words used in the Philippines and Easter Island is "mata" which means "eye."
In Indonesian too
Yes original east asians were dark skinned looking who worshipped ancestors, nature and totem with body ink and wore animal parts clothing
Maayad tungkay! Maayo gyud! Mabuti talaga! My wife is Higaonon, from Bukidnon, Mindanao. She speaks her native language, holds tribal beliefs, and was trained by her maternal grandmother as a baylan.
That is wonderful to hear that they held on to those traditions. Perhaps your family can pass it on to the next generation 😉
Babaylan are quack spiritual doctors. Still exist in many local villages.
That’s why the Tongan and Samoan languages are very similar to Bisaya.
Really?
@@buhokobunot6100 No, not really. If they were very similar they would have notable mutually intelligibility. Bisaya is closer to Indonesian, than it is to the Tongan and Samoan languages, even though related, they are distantly so. Unless the op (Dwaine Woolley) would like to elaborate on it. You can even look at the Austronesian language family tree and see for yourself the distance between them.
@@alanguages im a bisayan speaker...but i really dont know that we have words similarity to the Tongans and Samoans .
@@buhokobunot6100 Yes there are similar words, due to cognates coming from an ancestor language. It is still not a great deal of words though. Tongan and Samoan are still related to Bisaya, but notably distant. A Bisaya speaker would not be able to listen to a person speaking Samoan and vice versa with both of them carrying a conversation with each other, knowing what is being said.
If you listen to Indonesian, you will have better comprehension. Bisaya is my favourite Filipiino language.
Lol ang layo may related lang pero sobrang layo ng pagkakaiba
indonesia, malaysia (sabah), and the philippines are probably a one big archiphelago country right now if no colonialism happened back then
Yeah a Muslim sultanate
Wow i have been searching for a video like this one for a long time... finally i found it:) Great work! Salamat!
So that explains why some of my Samoan friends sometimes call me cousin. They’re probably aware of the possibility of their own people migrating to pre-Hispanic Philippines thousands of years ago.
Of course you are cousin with Polynesian in the South Pacific of Oceania 👍🙂. You genetics are silent when you see Filipinos ancestors facial looks and skin complexion and you compare with Polynesian in Samoa and Solomon Islands and Hawaiians.
This was a great overview. Thank you!
Great video, I can't wait for more!
I appreciate the pre-colonial history primer. Your references to archaeology are noteworthy. Of the weaponry, I note the sword-keris wavy blade used in Sinkil dance. Indonesian lore relates our Indo cousins unsheathing their keris to battle Dutch colonists armed with guns/cannon. I like your work!

This channel is a must,dont know much our origin &history.god bless alhamdulilla
More please 😊
What an awesome video
what a good channel for Filipinos
There was a lot of maritime migration in the past. Our lands were populated by several groups of people at different times.
Thanks for providing a useful framework on the history of the Philippines. Personally, I don't believe we have an absolutely correct history of anything that transpired in ancient times, only educated guesses and theories based on somewhat inconclusive evidence.
Latest epigenetic evidence has settled the question of indigenous populations. The diverse genetic mix in Luzon and Visayas is largely a result of constant migrations from neighboring islands. We need to broaden our understanding of migrations.
Philippines is part of AUSTRONESIAN people, because comparing each languages among Islands that belong to AUSTRONESIAN have similarities one way or the other , it differs only on spelling or sounds, very interesting to know and very proud I belong to a unique group of people that GOD created from one of the sons of NOE that spread around the earth,,,, 🇵🇭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ AUSTRONESIAN TRIBES worldwide 🌎
Very interesting.
Hi, I was wondering where came the "Metalworking" brought in to the Philippines islands around 4000-6000 years ago, as described at 2:10 - 2:24？The archaeological news I read about the excavations along the coastal lines of both Mainland China (Liangdao (~8000 years ago) & Tanshi Mountain (~5000 years ago)) and Taiwan island (Dabenkeng (~6000 years ago) & Fengbitou (~5000 years ago)) did not show evidences of metalworking. You may have read that two bronze arrow heads were excavated in Dabenkeng site, but since their size and style are very similar to those of Shang and Zhou Dynasties of ancient China (ca. 3700 years ago onwards), plus no local metalworking site was found, whether these two arrow heads were imported is under dispute.

The Polynesians came from Asia, they didn't migrate to Asia

@@jondoealoe ancient 👽
@@st4r444 The Ho'okumu Ka Lani Ho'okumu Ka Honua, tells us that the Hawaiians came from Alaska and the migrations from the south came later.
@@jondoealoe lost tribe israelite
@@st4r444 That's possible. Dan and Manasah were just across the Bering Straight in Tartaria, China used to be part of The Tartarian Empire, the Haida had trade with China; and the Haida are related to the Polynesians.
They were slave traders like Abraham and his family and they sailed all the way to New Zealand and back to the Queen Charlotte Islands too.
In Hebrew and Hawaiian He and Ha is the breath of God. The Masoretic scribes changed the A's to E's about a thousand years after Jesus was crucified.
The I in Haida would be a Yod in Hebrew, and that's God's hand, like the I in Hawaii.
The last syllable in Haida contains the first two letters of Dan's name.
Hawaii could be YHWH backwards, HWHY.
In Hebrew HAVA can be translated as Palace or Being. The Yod at the end could make Hawaii be translated as Palace of Yah.
The W in Hawaii can also be pronounced like a V, exactly the same as in Hebrew.
It should be remembered that the tribe of Dan left Egypt around 1500 bc, but the name of Dan was being used by Ham and Japheth, SiDON, DeDAN and MeDAN right after they got off of the ark at least a thousand years earlier; Abram was a Brahman, and Dan "the serpent" was named after DANu the serpent in the Mahabharata. Baptisms, born again doctrine, Ash Wednesday and rosary beads all have Vedic origins too.
Linguists teach that all of our words were originally names for the sun as the shekina of God.
Every proper etymology reaches the sun. Dawn is when the sun rises.
Dan's (the judges) color is red. Red sky at night, red sky at morning is the judge to a sailor; and Dan was a sailor...
The sun's reflection on water is often refered to as a serpent...
Very sad to see so much detail given to Islam, which in fact came so late, and barely a mention of the much earlier Hindu Buddhist kingdoms, with a number of tribes, like the Kamiyo speaking languages with connections to Sanskrit.
Unfortunately these less warlike, more trade focused Hindu/Buddhist cultures got squeezed to death by Islam from one direction and Catholics from the other direction.
The surviving vestiges of these beautiful Mindanoan cultures can be traced in gold jewelry found in collections as far as Europe.
Almost obliterated but now research is currently helping to bring to light.
So, the Catholics and Islam are plagues?
Exactly
do you have copy of references use in the video? need for discussion in my class

Great work! 🎉
I commend the effort of this, since the pre-colonial history of Philippines is hardly taught in our schools. However, please do more extensive research and verify your information from historians before posting, to avoid spreading false information and unverified theories. The Polynesian backward migration is false so please find a way to make your viewers aware of that. Also, you mentioned the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade, which is not pre-colonial, but a colonial trade route established by the Spanish Empire. You could have included the Maritime Jade Trade route instead, which the early PH polities are a major player of. Second, some key information is lacking. You barely talked about the Malay migration waves (1st and 2nd) which is the reason why most Filipinos are mostly of Malay ancestry; and didn't mention other powerful kingdoms like Cebu, Madyas, and Caboloan (Pangasinan), etc. Finally, there were no empires and imperialism in pre-colonial Philippines, the political structure of our early kingdoms and polities, followed the "Mandala system." Be distinct with the terms you use to avoid misconceptions.

Lol. Austronesians came from Taiwan to Philippines, spread all over to South East Asia, further west to Madagascar. And further east to Pacific Islands. They became Melanesians, Micronesians, and Polynesians. Of course they’re not pure Austronesians as the mix with other tribes like aboriginals from Guinea and Australia. Even Polynesians mixed with south americans. Austronesians are expert navigators. Some Islanders thought they came from South America but austronesians mixed with them and bring them back to pacific islands.
They mixed with melanesians, not aboriginal Australians. However Austronesian cultural and linguistic aspects were brought to the Torres Strait in between Australia and Papua New Guinea by Austronesian speakers from the east.
@@CP0rings33 thanks for the info 👍😊
Theories are that people from Taiwan and polynesian or austronesian migrated to the Philippines and introduce advance culture but did you have a notion or further studies that these theories could be the other way around.
While it's possible that the migration could have gone the other way, the prevailing theory is that Austronesian peoples originated in Taiwan and later migrated to the Philippines, other parts of Southeast Asia, Polynesia and other parts of the Pacific, and even as far as Africa (i.e. Madagascar). This is supported by archaeological evidence as well as linguistic and genetic studies. While there is always room for new discoveries and alternative theories, most scholars agree that Austronesian folks initially came from Taiwan and then expanded from there. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights on the topic. It's always great to hear different perspectives and ideas!
@@nipatales 🙌 👊
Polynesians are more Australoid genetically. The only real Austronesians genetically are natives of Taiwan and Filipinos especially Central Cordilleran.
The ancestors of Polynesian are Native Australians/Papuan. Then the Austronesian who came from the Philippines intermixed with the native of Australia thus forming Polynesia and Micronesia.
Polynesian culture came from Austronesians.
Filipino are not from Polynesian

Anyone wants to know the real history of the Phil I suggest listening to "The God Culture". You will be amazed.
Very informative ... at least for the southern part of the Philippines. Just what role did the people in the northern part play during the pre-colonial period?
Nothing. They despise work and spent the whole day gossiping at a mango tree... they are so lazy even in the pre-colonial time but kept on demanding for relief goods daily and bad mouthed their Datu if they were given sardines instead of corned beef!Even without contribution to the society... They have organized multiple rallies protesting in the rice fields, river bank, outside the bahay kubo everyday inorder to destabilized their barangay and all leaders they accused of corruption. Sadly, the tagalog still preserve this culture until today, that's why you can always find the tagalogs on the street with different demands everyday for out government to fees them, give them house & lot, take care their 24 children while they just do nothing but makes some more! 😭
@@jackstone2482 I don't think it's fair to generalize people in Luzon especially NCR to be Tagalog. NCR is a melting pot...a lot of people there come from Visayas and Mindanao in search of better pasture...this is not a Tagalog issue, it's a Filipino issue
@@rodlapuz4891 Ok . In order to avoid confusion... My comment is not for the whole NCR but directed to tagalog ethnic group only.🤣

The biggest asset of the Philippines is the knowledge of the English language. The difficult job of the Thomasites to convert the official Spanish language into English is very commendable. It's also amazing that ancient languages from the many regions have survived but slowly fading away. English and Tagalog and the hybrid TagLish seem to be dominating and spreading fast.

Hello Sir! Monetizable ba tong mga gabitong videos?
It's good but the Philippine archipelago was central to the Lapita cultural tradition that Polynesians inherited. The archipelago was more of the staging ground where colonization of Polynesia and Madagascar through admixture with those cultures that they encountered rather than being the overall recipient. There is no doubt that precolonial Philippines and the islands had at one-point bilateral trade. They did after all find the smallest of the world's islands by reading the stars and observing birds without the aid of any modern compass. Why wouldn’t they be able to go back and forth at the height of their maritime exploration? This is also the reason why Taiwan is not ever a part of China. The original people of Taiwan also came from mainland Eurasia thousands of years before there was ever a unified China, which is composed of many ethnic groups and kingdoms many thousands of years after the ancestors of islanders already left.
It was only after the colonial period that Taiwan through the colonial powers intervention that they destroyed the culture and much of the population of Taiwan making it ripe for the Qing (a foreign dynasty who conquered the Han and established a dynasty in China) by default to own it since the Dutch East India company had other colonial "possessions" not subjected to piracy and competition with other colonial powers. In fact, the Japanese was the last colonial power to officially governed Taiwan and after their loss in WW2 have agreed to give up Taiwan in treaty of San Francisco in 1945. It was only after the defeat of the Kuomintang the led them to flee the mainland establishing a predominantly Han majority and considered itself as the true government of China. At first, the government was itself Han-centric and further oppressed the natives. However, unlike the mainland, their culture and laws subsequently became more democratic and rather than their Han counterparts in the mainland who stuck to a racist ideology of forced Sinicization, they were finally recognized and given the right to live their lives and tradition. After all, their ancestors were the original owners and founders of the island formerly known as Formosa.
Today, there are at least 2.38% of Taiwan’s population who identifies as indigenous living their ancestor’s tradition. Many have already intermarried with ethnic Han. This is the reason the majority of Taiwanese do NOT even consider themselves as “Chinese,” especially after seeing how Hong Kong and Macau were lied to and the CCP in the mainland never owned Taiwan. This is even more so in the younger generation of Taiwanese. While the Kuomintang came from China, and Japan gave it up, it was unclear who they gave it back to and for many years was left unanswered since the US supported their government during the revolution and it did not become a major issue since their transition to democracy. That of course is now being challenged by the CCP with their revisionist history so they can claim the island just like they illegally annexed Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria (The founders of the Qing), and Xinjiang. They were only able to do so given their influence in the UN having a permanent seat of the security council along with the support of the Soviet Union after of course continually threatening "nuclear war." In fact, if it was not for the Soviets who wanted a buffer state between the two, they would have taken the whole of Mongolia too and forced them to become “Chinese,” just like they did in the "autonomous region" of Inner Mongolia---which is neither autonomous nor a region of "China." So, what the Chinese did is to just grab as much of Mongolia as they can without angering the Soviets, which is now the autonomous region of “Inner Mongolia.”
There are unfortunately many CCP propaganda that fails to discuss this history which really highlights why China or the CCP NEVER owned Taiwan and has developed into its own mature country. Even Zheng He, a famous Chinese navigator touted by China to the West as if somehow akin to early western explorers, only closely hugged the coast of Eurasia. In fact, even after “China” was conquered by the Mongol empire, their fleet was completely decimated by a regular storm known to many islanders. This is because the “Chinese,” no matter what dynasty were known to be poor mariners and have not been able to replicate the blue water technology of islanders who have navigated their way to Micronesia, Polynesia, and as far as Easter Island. Their culture, technology, and even genetics even show that they have even found their way to the Indian ocean and admixed with locals in Madagascar. That is the reason why they never had a foothold in Taiwan and fell by default to the Qing who rounded up the Ming (Han) rebels who fled there during the colonial period. Who then were eventually ousted by the Japanese and became a place where American allies fled after the communist party took control of the Mainland. The communist was only able to do so by their cowardice, by hiding during WW2 while the Kuomintang fought the Japanese. Once the war was over, Mao and his comrades came out of their hiding places and fought the decimated Kuomintang force which led them to Taiwan who had no official ownership but by then known to the mainlanders earlier in the colonial period when “China” under the Manchus itself loss Hong Kong, Vladivostok, and Macau. “Chinese,” traded with many islanders who are led by many tribal leaders who are always at war with each other but they were never “Chinese,” and unlike their brothers of what is now South Eastern China who were forcedly Sinicized, there was NEVER a foreign dynasty that ever did that in any of the islands and it is only through default that it ever landed to the Qing and again by default that it landed to the Kuomintang who has been ousted from power in Taiwan for closely allying itself to the CCP.
What books can you recommend if i want to read more into pre colonial Philippines?
Why???
Accdg to the books ancient tribes of the Philippines migrated to other island during Spanish colonialization that's why Filipinos scattered in any island nations
ruclips.net/video/0wuDtGpBUlg/видео.html at 8:20 it is much more accurate to say intricate brassware is actually heavily influence by the malays influence, the terms Islamic influence that you use is TOO broad, plus the kind of craftsman style usually only find in the Malay's world, even the mosque and houses design is pitched roof vernacular architecture which is common in Malay's architecture, only latter era where we see Ottoman's stylized dome being introduce in the malay architecture in the archipelago
I am quite confused, is there people in the Philippines before the Negritos came? Possibly the Tabon Cave People precedes the Negrito Migration?
when do you consider a technology as advance?
7,641 islands now
The first modern human "homo sapiens" bones found in tabon caves near luzon in palawan is 47.000 years old. The place is a magnificent site. But hey, you were only off by 15.000 years, not bad😒
9:57 picture you used for gold is Pyrite AKA fool's gold
The problem about the migration theory is that, it remains and will remain to be a theory. It was the brainchild of an "American school teacher, Otley Beyer, who was stationed in Ifugao.

It does have one, but it's a really cheap microphone and I can only do so much editing before it starts sounding too static-y and robotic. Sorry about that -- the humming and popping bothers me too -- we'll get better with more practice.
then no mention of Rajanate of Sugbo? ??
It makes sense that after knowing the result of my DNA test heritage I am so..shocked and a little bit disappointed because I consider my self 💯percent Filipino my heart and soul. But I'm so surprised 😮that I am only 32.67 Filipino 😔 32.67 Indonesian 32.67 Malaysian 1percent Eskimo 😊 1percent Scottish, Irish and Wales it makes a sense now😂
What company did test? My wife is Filipina. We did a test with ancestry dna and the breakdown is early tech 15 years back. Perla’s dna breakdown was 49 % East Asian 49 Polynesian and 1 .% East Indian ! The tech is better now with more details!
Do you know where you got scotch Irish wales? I’m Dutch and have connections to Java / Indonesia through history. Meeting my wife an anomaly and history.

Completely missed are Chinese Emperors attempts of colonization in that part of Asia. They happened about the same time as Chinese rule in Vietnam.
Chinese were trading with Filipinos on the records at latest since the 900s, unofficially even much in earlier, and never tried to conquer it. you are talking biased uninformed speculation. But Phil was immediately conquered by Spain, England, Japan , USA , when they had the first chance...
All the Five Dynasties + Ten Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties did here in what would become the Philippines is cornering the markets there and acquired the tributes of certain sultanates and rajahnates here. The only known Chinese attempt to conquer the Philippines is when Koxinga tried to invade Intramuros in Manila
the Pintados (inked raiders) from the pre-colonial Philippines had been raiding the Chinese coasts for ages for loots. but thanks to Spaniards though 'cause it formed a nation called the Philippines of today.

It sounds like it was always colonised. Or does colonisation only refer to western countries?

why is that mai is not mention ?
Without Spanish colonisation.... the kingdom of Davao could have been a great nation with our powerful leader Datu Bago....

Any evidence that they developed those things would be welcome. Slavery always followed Islam. Also colonialism isn't a Euro centric custom.

Kingdom is incorrect though. It is a chiefdom or polity.
There is no Philippines before the Spanish times. Only a collection of barangays independent from each other.
Great very interesting I am currently getting to know more about the history of the islands and the people and culture before the Spanish arrived
Lol it was the Philippines just with a different name. Words mean nothing people do. Here again with your Eurocentric agenda that before Europeans no one existed…. ITS A MYTH. NOT FACT. A MYTH
True no Philippines before. Wrong because we have Kingdom of Tondo, Kingdom of Pangasinan at Kingdom of Sulu.
This narrative is not entirely accurate… some form of imperialism existed and the Spaniards based their own colony on what existed before them.
Transforming Manila: China, Islam, and Spain in a Global Port City
Ethan Hawkley
The year is 1588. Agustin de Legazpi, a Tagalog chieftain from Tondo, a suburb of Manila, is planning to overthrow Spain's Philippine colony, a colony that is only about 20 years old. His covert allies include dozens of other chieftains, locally known as datus, a band of Japanese merchants, and coalition of Muslim rulers from the nearby islands of Borneo and Jolo. If he succeeds, Spanish ships will stop coming to Southeast Asia with American silver, and the largest economy in the world, China's economy, will be cut off from a vital source of currency. Chinese economic growth will stagnate and poverty will increase.1 Spanish America will similarly never develop its Asian silk industry, an industry that will otherwise adorn its churches, decorate its colonial estates, dress its priests, clothe its governors, and employ thousands of its artisans. Then, of course, there is also the porcelain and ivory trade that will likewise never set Latin American tables with fine china or fill its churches with made-in-China images of Jesus and Mary.2
Agustin's plot, in short, comes at a pivotal moment the history of Manila and in the history of the world. Will the port city return to what it had been before the Spaniards arrived? Or will it grow into a colonial capital and major focal point of world trade? Will the final link in truly global trade, the one connecting Asia and the Americas, continue to annually ship 2-4 million pesos of silver and Chinese goods across the Pacific?3 Or will the 250 year history of the Manila galleons be cut off in its infancy? As these questions suggest, the expansion of Spain's empire into Manila is fundamentally transforming Agustin's city, and Manila is in turn beginning to play a prominent role in a larger transformation of the world.4
Transformation, however, does not mean starting from scratch. Agustin's plan to overthrow the Spanish colony, in fact, shows the continued presence of two vital precolonial layers of globalization. He is reaching out to a group of East Asian merchants, the Japanese, and to various Muslim rulers, those on Borneo and Jolo. The Japanese merchants are a legacy of an earlier China-centered network of world trade, and the Muslim rulers are similarly manifestations of Islam's medieval global expansion. These two previous layers of globalization, China and Islam, had converged on the archipelago before Spain's arrival, and they have as much to do with making Manila into a global port-city as does the arrival of the Europeans. The last piece of the puzzle, in other words, is not always the most important. Remove any one of these three networks-China, Islam, or Spain-and Manila would not become a global port city, and by extension the Philippines would likely never form into a unified political community.
Taking this broader view, we can see Agustin's strategy for what it really is: he is mobilizing not only local but also traditional global channels of authority against the Spaniards. For their part, however, the Spaniards have also, by now, begun to incorporate themselves into precolonial Sino-Muslim networks at Manila. They have their own East Asian and formerly Islamic allies. Agustin's rebellion is, in summation, a final attempt to revive a dying world against the new one that is coming. It is a conflict over which network of global connections will survive, his or the Spaniards', and it is furthermore a conflict that will decide the historical trajectory of Manila and of the Pacific world for centuries to come. A brief examination of how China and Islam relate to both sides of this conflict will reveal the importance of these two precolonial layers of globalization, and it will also show how these laid the foundation for the arrival and establishment of a third and final layer: Spanish colonialism.5
Manila and China: The First Layer
Agustin de Legazpi invites Juan Gayo, a Japanese merchant, and his followers to feast with him several times in 1588. In his culture, like many others, feasts are elaborate spectacles where political relationships are forged over conversation and alcohol. At one of these feasts, several other Tagalog chieftains are present: Magat Salamat, Agustin Manuguit, Felipe Salalila, and Geronimo Bassi, Agustin de Legazpi's brother. The Tagalog chieftains speak to Juan Gayo and his band of merchants through a Japanese interpreter named Dionisio Fernandez. They convince the Japanese that together they can defeat and kill all of the Spaniards. With the Spanish gone, Agustin adds, he will then become the new "king of the land," and he promises to divide his tribute with Gayo. The leaders make a traditional oath to one another by anointing their necks with a broken egg.6
Agustin is certainly not the first Tagalog leader to feast or ally with Japanese merchants. Indeed, when the Spaniards arrived at Manila, there were already twenty Japanese residents living among the town's people. A unique combination of economic and political forces from East Asia had brought them there. In the fifteenth century, paper currency failed in Ming China, and a currency shortage threatened to halt the realm's economic growth. Merchants therefore began to fill this shortage with silver. But China did not have enough silver deposits to supply the merchants' needs, which increased its value dramatically. In the following century, silver in Ming China was twice as valuable as it was in Europe.7 Meanwhile, valuable deposits of silver were discovered in Japan. This silver, however, was not directly accessible to China's merchants because the Ming had banned direct trade with Japanese merchants.
The demand for silver was, nevertheless, more powerful than Ming decrees. Unable to trade in China itself, the Japanese traded with Chinese merchant smugglers at offshore locations, like Manila, and often under the jurisdiction of local rulers, like Agustin's ancestors. Already afoul of the law, this culture of smuggling later expanded to include raiding, looting, and other pirate activities. From the 1520s to the 1560s, independent Chinese and Japanese merchant-pirate companies plagued the China coast, and they became collectively known to the Ming as wokou, "Japanese pirates," a label that only further harmed Sino-Japanese relations. Japanese and Chinese merchant-pirates then also began trading directly with Manila's chieftain elites. That Agustin can still recruit a Japanese-Tagalog translator, almost twenty years after the Spaniards' arrival, and that he can still convince Juan Gayo to support him shows the persistence of autonomous Japanese-Tagalog relations into the early colonial period.
Agustin does not, however, recruit help from the Chinese, despite centuries of Sino-Tagalog trade and cooperation in Manila. Beginning in ancient times, Chinese manufactured goods, especially silk, had traveled various routes throughout Eurasia and Africa, most famously along the silk roads; and in the ninth century Chinese merchants, called Sangleys, first carried these goods to the Philippine islands. The Sangleys came to the archipelago to obtain various Philippine products, including gold, wax, pearls, hardwoods, medicines, cotton, birds nests, animal skins, etc.; and the Philippine chieftains, who controlled this trade, sought Chinese porcelain, stoneware, iron, silks, perfumes, and even cannons.8 Chieftains from Manila had even periodically sent tribute missions to Chinese emperors.
A generation before, Agustin's adoptive father, Rajah Soliman-the precolonial Muslim ruler of Manila-had himself tried to use his relationship with the Sangleys to overthrow the Spaniards. In 1574, only three years after the Spaniards and their local allies had subdued Soliman, a Sangley merchant-pirate named Limahong attacked Manila. Seeing this as his opportunity to throw off the Spanish yoke, Soliman allied with Limahong. But the Spaniards and their various indigenous allies expelled Limahong from Manila and pacified Soliman, once again, under colonial authority. Agustin is likewise turning to East Asians for help, and his alliance with the Japanese may well be inspired by Soliman's actions fourteen years ago.
But things are different now. The Sangleys know, in 1588, that trade with the Spaniards will bring them more profit than conquest or looting. The Spaniards control a continuing supply silver, having recently discovered the most lucrative silver mines in history, and their silver attracts thousands of Sangleys to Manila. Many Sangleys have even moved to settle permanently in the colonial capital. In 1570, the year the Spaniards arrived, there had been roughly 40 Chinese living in Manila. Now there are some 10,000 frequenting the area, more than ten times the number of Spaniards in the colony. Though the two people are not always friendly with one another, they do share a common interest. The Chinese can count on making a steady 30 percent profit annually on their imports of silver to China, and the Spaniards might make as much as 100 percent or more on their shipments of silk and silver across the Pacific. Silver, after all, is two times more valuable in China than it is in Spanish America, while Chinese silk is far more precious in Mexico than it is in the Philippines.9
It is this disparity in values that connects the Spaniards to China and to the first layer of Philippine globalization. The Spaniards need some way to fund their colonial project, and without China's demand for silver, they have no other means for profit in the islands, at least not enough to justify a permanent settlement there. The Spaniards' presence is thus changing Manila's relationship to the East Asian world. Agustin knows that he cannot turn to the Sangleys against the Spaniards, as Soliman had, because of their craving for silver. But the Japanese have their own interests. They are, like the Spaniards, silver suppliers, and they likewise want fine Chinese silks, porcelains, and other manufactured goods. With the Spaniards out of the way, the supply of silver will go down and its value will go up, and the Japanese stand to make a significant profit. So Agustin turns to Juan Gayo, they swear their oath, and the plan continues.

There is no theory or evidence of Polynesians settling in the Philippines, the Polynesians spread out into the Pacific interior not into Asia. The pottery that were found in Polynesia were Lapita origin, who are said to be ancient maritime people of southeast asia.

Not likely. It's not 100% but more likely from taiwan

just an observation, maybe one reason that some of its people suffer identity crisis is because of its diversity. A mixture of different bloods flowing through their veins moreover upon the colonization of Spain the "colonial mentality" developed.
Their appearance too is so diversified specially now that most Filipinos intermarry people with the western world making the Negritos nowadays minority. Most do share "kayumangi" skin tone because of the ☀️ sun. The Philippines is actually in the middle of the equator.
