Hence, San Pablo got its popular name "The City of Seven Lakes." The volcanic activity was followed by lava and earth movements producing the formation of the mountains and low rolling plains and plateaus layers of volcanic ash gave soil fertility. Eventually, trees and heavy vegetation developed, and a tropical rain forest enveloped the land. San Pablo nestled on the eastern coastline of Luzon, surrounded by three beautiful mountains -- Mount Makiling, Mount Banahaw, and Sierra Madre Mountain Range. ![](media/image5.png)***Abundant Water Supply.*** Nature has been generous for the survival and development of the San Pablo natives, both past and present. The abundant supply of rain and water is the first of God's gift to San Pablo yielding waterfalls, streams and the seven lakes. The mountain forest cover cleans the air, brings the rain, and produces the resources of fresh water. The wind blowing against the base of these mountains is deflected upwards into the atmosphere, where it expands. This expansion of the air brings about a natural air cooling effect aided by the plants and trees in the rain forests thus San Pablo has a cool and fresh climate. The mountains contribute seemingly unlimited supplies of water for household, agricultural, and recreational purposes. ![](media/image7.png)***Tropical Rain Forests.*** The tropical rainforest in this upland realm became another God's gifts to the hometown. Before the onset of global warming and over development, the dense forest cover bred ecological diversity for plants and animals. Temptingly rich in economic possibilities these forests lay idle first, for to enter them was dangerous. The damp and drifting jungle furnished an ideal breeding place for insects. The swarms of mosquitoes were the most widespread and troublesome. There were also white ants or termites and the black ants or beetles. This upland realm was rich with plant and animal life. The plants gave the housing materials (wood, bamboo, nipa, anahaw), cash crop (betel, areca), ornamentals (orchid, anthuriums), edible foods (lanzones, bananas, etc.) and medicines. A virtual bird sanctuary, the forests were full of bird life, large and small, native and migrating. The monkey-eating eagle (now the Philippine national bird) flew in the large numbers beacause the forest cover was yet undisturbed. Wood pigeons and thrushes, gaudy parrots and parakeets lived in the jungle and added the color and noise. There were wild boars and deer. During the hunting seasons, the natives went to the forests and streams with their traps, nets and hunting gear for these were teeming with wildlife and fish. For the happy breed of men who settled this upland realm, San Pablo de los Montes seemed a "demi-paradise" indeed. **EXERCISE 1** Follow the knowledge map.

About 25,000-30,000 years ago, the first settlersim this upland realm were the Negritos, also called Aetas, Agtas, or Atis. Small, dark people with kinky hair and black eyes. The spaniards called them Monteses or Remontados(hill mem) beacause they lived mostly in the mountain areas like San Pablo. ![](media/image4.jpeg)***Other Settlers Unite.***Atisan, Napayong, and other hillocks of Mount Bulaho bound themselves together under a single leadership. So did the settlers in Sandig, Palakpakin, Saluvan to the north. The lowlanders of Botokan and Makopa as well as of Wawa, Malinaw, and Sampalok, also agreed to unite under their leader. The latter were forced to withdraw to other high ground, in today\'s Quezon and Aurora provinces. ***New Malay Settlers.*** About 12,000 to 15,000 years ago, small groups of Malay settlers found their way to this upland realm. The Malay settlers in southern Luzon became the nucleus of the present Tagalog tribes that populated the Calabarzon Region (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon and Aurora provinces). Malay settler\'s materials, relics, oral, and studies from other Malay nations. ![](media/image6.jpeg)***Hunting and Food Gathering.*** Our early forebears were basically hunters and food gatherers of wild animals, birds and edible plants. For tools and weapons our ancestors made tools flakes on either or both sides. San Pablo Volcanic origins and streambeds offered them much resources. Volcanic rocks were brittle and easily shaped by pounding or rubbing. Stream and cave rocks were also useful tools. ***Primitive Farming.*** Having succeeded in fashioning simple tools, our ancient forebears began a primitive type of agriculture - the kaingin or slash-and-burn farming. The bad side effect of this type of farming was self-destruction. The kaingero did not benefit more than a few years from their small farms. ***Domestication of Plants and Animals.*** Taming animals, livestock raising, irrigated farming, and crop rotation were activities that gave them food security and a more stable life. The ancients started with the domestication of four animals - the dog, the pig, the fowl, and the carabao (water buffalo). They tried to consume some fruits, nuts, and root crops like yam and uraro. A mountainous geography like San Pablo seemed a \"fortress built by Nature for herself\". ***Irrigated Farming And New Staple Crop.*** The irrigated farming method, unlike the kaingin,encouraged residential stability and a more complex social structure. The introduction of rice (Oryzazativa) by Indian and Chinese traders changed their lives for the better. The rice was highly suitable for wet farming methods. The crop received little attention after planting until near harvest time, when the children were asked to keep the birds on the field. Nothing could be lovelier than the paddy fields of spectacular green rice encircled by mountains. ***The Two Field System.*** It is a farming technique that provided for one field planted in crops, while another field was left fallow for a year or two until it regained its fertility. Done successfully by the natives. This system increased food production and led to the permanent residence of the cultivators in a house. ***Plant Propagation.*** The natives contribute to their propagation by aiding their geographic spread to other places. New plant hybrids were bornzpissesed with great vigor. There was always an ecological haven for them in this richly-endowed upland realm. ![](media/image8.jpeg)***Increased Production.*** Our ancestors learned to make better use of their resources and to adjust their method of living. Hunger was a game that spurred them to greater activity. Their ability to farm and raise livestock improved. Edible plants were farmed, the gabi (uraro) peas,beans,yam and fruits. ***Nga-Nga The Lucrative Crops.***Nganga or buyo was the favorite ancestral \"chewing gum\" of Southeast Asians and pacific islanders. The natives chewed it incessantly because it is a mild stimulant. The cultivation old nganga industry gave early prosperity to San Pablo before the days of tobacco and gum. Chewing nganga is still a favorite pastime among the older generation in some upland areas, like the Ifugao tribe in Cordillera. ***Economic Surplus.*** Our ancestors attained economic surplus for better tools and domesticated plants and animals. It is the ability to provide more than they needed for their families. They exchanged good (barter) for the products of others. Economic surplus led to new invention of new industries (marketing, trading, and transporting goods). Trade or barter came into being when one group exchanged one type of article to another. They meet in central areas, which became market places. Ancients of Makopa and Balagbag exchanged their rice surplus for the hogs and fowls of Lumbangan and Banlagin. They exchanged bakuli fish from Palakpakin to root crops of Tikew and Imok. ***The Transport Of Goods.*** Natives discovered the trick of carrying a heavy load on pole borne by two persons. The cargo and passengers on hammock-like structure were supported on two long poles and carried by two bearers, one in the front and other behind, held the poles in their hands and let them rest on their shoulders. Native and domesticate bigas to use the carabao as the carrier as time pass. Inspired the carabao drawn-sled called paragos to transport goods. The much-trodden paths were rough and dirty in olden days, the path led usually to the nearest source of drinking water, to the hunting grounds or to places were fruits, roots and berries are abundant. In time the paths were widened and extended, and eventually become rough grounds. Farmers met with less difficulty in the transport of their farm products from one place to another. They also advanced the locational knowledge and measurement of time. They started to name place differently to another for example is Atisan was the place for many Negritos and Aetas, Bunot a place of making coconut husks. Wawa, Sapa and Ilog where watersheds, Bae a place noted for women (babae) and Makopa and Sampaloc for local trees. Distances were determined by the means of time.the distance could ne reckoned by the day or \"isangtuloglang\", or by lunar passage \"isangbuwan\". ***The First Trading Center Of Sampalok.*** Earliest historical records say the origin of San Pablo was a trading place called Sampalok that comprise four large barrios bounded by Mt. Makiling.Its name came from the tall sampalok trees(TAMARINDUS INDICUS) with hard yellowish wood,pinnate leaves and red-striped yellow florets.The sampalok fruits or blossom was picked by natives to spice up dishes.Tamarind is use to flavor Indian food,stewed fish(sinigang) and meat dishes (Worcestershire sauce). **EXERCISE 1** In 5 to 7 sentences, how would you describe the early inhabitants of San Pablo? **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** **EXERCISE 2** Using a Venn diagram below, compare and contrast the early way of life of native from the modern way of life of the natives of San Pablo.

The family meant more than anything else to the individual. The possession of land was the only means of wealth and it was necessary. A business was always a family business but its loss was only diminution of wealth and not the end of the world. When a member of a family left the shelter of his home to make his way in the world, any success he attained would be nothing unless he could return to his family, use his wealth to help relatives and be recognize in his village as great man Family. ![](media/image11.jpeg)***Native Attire and Personal Habits***.

Parents negotiated the marriages because of alliance and property arrangements. The groom was required to pay his future father in law a dowry (bigay kaya) or free work in the latter\'s house of the farm (maninirahan). They were expected to freely engage in pre-marital sexual relations. Couple\'s first duty was to produce children. ***Dances and Songs.*** Coconut producing religio, their favorite dances was the "maglalatik\". This vigorous dance depicted a mock fight with the sweet Coconut meat or latik. Another favorite dance was the \"SayawsaBangko\" a playful but precarious dance by a man and woman on top of a narrow bench. ***Language.*** Our ancestors communicated in a language now known as \"Tagalog\" which means \"tagailog\" or \"people of the river or the water\". Fr. Pedro Chirino, SJ, wrote, \"I found this language four qualities of the four greatest language of the world, Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Spanish. ***Writing and Literature.*** The Filipino writing came from the Asokan Alphabet of India.

It was a group of families, with the kinsmen and their leader. ***Formation of Barangay Groups**.* Two millenia ago, this upland realm was composed of hardly a hundred farms, each one of them being a completely self-sufficient little world, responsible only to itself for staying alive. Within their little world, they converted their products into food that could be eaten, clothes that could be worn and habitation that could be lived in. All activities were administered by the head of the family. As the family membership began to increase in number and the raids by the Aetas became more disturbing, the dwellers came to realize the need for group-living. Hence, they started building their houses along the riverbanks and the lakesides. While those living in the highlands formed nuclear types of clustering houses. They came to realize that by living in groups, they were multiply their strength, to pool together their past experiences, to present a united front against common perils, and to plan the future more effectively among themselves. The settlers\' initial grouping, composed typically of about 30 families, came to be known as the \"barangay.\" **EXERCISE 1** Draw the map of San Pablo and label it with the different barangays. **EXERCISE 2** Research for 5 barangays in San Pablo and look for the brief history of each barangays.
