Before the Spaniards arrived and colonized the Philippines, how did the early Filipinos relate with neighboring countries in Asia? Cite one of these countries and explain one of its influences in early Filipino culture. Suggested Time: 8 mins | Actual Time Spent: ____min(s) The early Filipinos were expert seafarers and boat builders like their Southeast Asian neighbors long before the coming of the Portuguese and Spaniards. In the next pages are some pictures showing evidences of early foreign contacts in the Philippines. Laguna Copperplate Inscription Photo Source: National Museum of the Philippines Social Science 1: Philippine History| Page 1 of 6  The Laguna Copperplate was discovered in the 1980s in Lumban, Laguna. The copperplate had inscriptions, and these were deciphered by Antoon Postma, a Dutch anthropologist. The inscriptions were about the release or acquittal from debt of a chieftain, as well as his family and his descendants. It is said that the inscriptions were old Malay, mixed with Sanskrit, old Javanese, and old Tagalog terms. The Laguna Copperplate, dated around the 9 th century, is a very important artifact as it documents an early written record in our country. Butuan Ivory Seal, Libertad, Butuan City The Butuan ivory stamp seal was found in Libertad, Butuan, Agusan Del Norte in the 1970s. This was made from a rhinoceros’ ivory tusk and dated around 1000 A.D. The inscriptions were said to be ancient Javanese script and were deciphered by Antoon Postma. The ivory seal is said to indicate the place of origin or transaction during trading.

Landa Jocano. The mask is a two- piece gold sheet used to cover the eyes and nose of a corpse and had been dated around late 14th to early 15th centuries. It was believed that the mask was used to prevent evil spirits from entering the body of the deceased. This burial Photo Source: National Museum of the Philippines practice is said to have originated from the burial customs of the southern Chinese. Banton Burial Cloth, AD 1400-1500 (Banton Island, Romblon) The Banton burial cloth, used to wrap the dead, is said to be the oldest cloth in the country and may be considered as the oldest warp ikat textile in Southeast Asia, having been dated around the 13th to 14th centuries. This was found in the 1960s in a wooden coffin in Guyangan Cave, Banton Island, Romblon. The cloth was woven from red, black, and white abaca threads.

These countries established trading relations with the Filipinos especially in Sulu that resulted to economic and cultural exchanges. Also, there was widespread Filipino and Chinese trade goods, showing active economic exchanges. On the cultural aspect, the Filipinos learned from the Chinese the use of umbrellas, porcelain, gongs, cuisine, and metallurgy. In addition, Filipinos also adopted the use of white cloth in mourning the death of family members. Other significant influences of India and China are their words that were adopted into the languages of the Philippines. Also, their culture influenced native lifestyles, customs, and religious beliefs. This is particularly evident in our language, technology, writing system, ornaments, attire, food, and religious beliefs and practices. Suggested Time: 12 mins | Actual Time Spent: ___min(s) Activity 2: Formative (Graded) Assessment Read the story of the Pandanan shipwreck as described in Inquirer.net. After reading the article, answer the following: 1. Explain how archaeology has provided us with information on early foreign contacts of the Philippines as shown in the Pandanan shipwreck excavations. Answer in one paragraph, 5-10 sentences. (10 pts) Social Science 1: Philippine History| Page 3 of 6 In 1993, the Pandanan shipwreck was accidentally discovered by a pearl farm diver while looking for a missing basket containing pearls near Pandanan Island, southern Palawan. Two years later, the site was archaeologically excavated and yielded remains of a wooden ship that contained over 4,000 various objects from different countries. The shipwreck is a merchant vessel of possibly Southeast Asian origins based on its cargo. Vietnamese ceramics from the north and central region of Vietnam comprised more than 70% of the ceramic cargo along with lesser quantities of Chinese and Thai ceramics as well as undetermined earthenware pots and stove. The non-ceramic items comprised glass beads, iron cauldrons, bronze gongs, small guns, a bronze weighing scale as well as other natural and manufactured products. A Chinese coin dated to the reign of Chinese emperor Yongle (1402–1424) of the Ming Dynasty (1368– 1644) that provided the basis of the relative dating of the site. The porcelain blue and white big bowl is very remarkable in that it has been manufactured in the 14th century during the short reign of the Mongolian-led Yuan Dynasty period (1279 – 1368), almost 100 years before the Pandanan vessel sailed in the middle of the 15th century. This period also saw the earliest mass production of porcelain blue and white ceramics, specifically during the years 1328 – 1352, making Yuan dynasty ceramics very rare due to its very narrow production and export period. The bowl has also very remarkable decorations. The central design depicts two fabled beasts, the qilin (tɕʰǐ. lǐn or kî-lîn in Hokkien) and the phoenix, both very important motifs in Chinese mythology. The qilin, also known as a unicorn or a dragon-horse, is perceived as the noblest of hairy animals and symbolized perfection. It is also a portent of benevolent government. The Phoenix, on the other hand, is a sacred bird and believed to be the king of all birds that symbolize good fortune, the sun, fertility, abundant harvest, good luck, and longevity.

Adopted from Sir Erin Dela Cruz, Soc Sci Teacher, PSHS Main Campus Long before the coming of the West, the Philippines had trade relations with its neighboring countries as shown by the archaeological and cultural evidences. Early foreign contacts brought about changes in people’s way of life.
