His Capital is Manila while the largest city is Quezon City, - which is also a great country to begin in establishing a great monarchy today.

Etymology

The name Philippine originate from Ruy Lopez Villalobos a Spanish Explorer during his expedition in 1542, he named the island of Leyte and Samar a Felipinas after Philip II of Spain, then the Prince of Asturias, The Las Islas Filipinas is used to cover the Archipelagos Spanish Possession, During the Philippine Revolution the Malolos Congress proclaimed the establishment of the Republica Filipina or the Philippine Republic, the United States process changing the reference to the country from the Philippine Island to the Philippines, then the full official title Republic of the Philippine was included in the 1935 Constitution as the name of the future independent state.

People of Philippine Island

Knowing the People of Archipelago

Filipinos are the people who are the citizens of the Philippine, who also a native of the Philippine, majority of the Filipinos today comes from various Austronesian ethnolinguistic groups, currently there are 185 ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippine.

Negritos, some of the archipelagos earliest inhabitants, were followed by successive waves of Austronesian people. in history the oldest archaic human remains in the Philippine are the Callao Man specimens discovered in 2007 in the Callao Cave in Northern Luzon, in 2010 they were dated 67,000 years old through uranium-series dating to the late Pleistocene, they will initially identify as modern human, but after the discovery of more specimens they have been reclassified as being members of new species - Homo luzonensis.

The oldest undisputed modern human or home sapiens remains in the Philippine are the Tabon Man fossils discovered in the tabon caves, these were dated to the paleolithic, at around 26,000 to 24,000 years ago, the Tabon Cave complex was also inhabited by human continuously. the caves were also later used as a burial site by unrelated Neolithic and Metal age cultures in the area. Tabon Cave remains (along the niah cave remains of Borneo and the tam pa ling remains of Laos) are part of the first Sundaland people, the earliest branch of anatomically modern humans to reach island Southeast via sundaland bridge, they entered the Philippine from Borneo via Palawan at around 50,000 to 40,000 years ago, which is known to be the ancestors of the Negrito people. Negrito people include ethnic group like Aeta including the Agta, Arta, Dumagat, etc. of Luzon, the Ati of Western Visayas, the Batak of Palawan and the Mamanwa of Mindanao, After the Negritos the Austronesians from Taiwan migrated to the Batanes Island and Luzon they admixed with the earlier settlers resulting in the modern Filipinos. Since 3rd century, various ethnics established several communities. these were formed by the assimilation of various native Philippine Kingdoms, neighboring places or country today traded with Filipinos and introduced Hinduism and Buddhism to the natives tribes of the Philippine, In the period between 7th to the beginning of 15th centuries numerous prosperous centered of trade emerged. From 9th century onward, a large number of Arab traders from the Middle east settle in the Malay Archipelago and intermarried with the local Malay and Luzon and Visayas indigenous populations. In the years leading up to 1000 AD, there were already several maritime societies existing in the island but there was no unifying political state encompassing the entire Philippine archipelago. Instead region was dotted by numerous semi-autonomous barangays ruled by datus, rajah or sultan or by upland agricultural societies ruled by petty plutocrats, states such as the Wangdoms of Mai and Pangasinan, kingdom of Maynila, Namayan, the Kingdom of Tondo, the Kedtuans of Madjas and Dapitan, the Rajahnates of Butuan and Cebu, and the sultanates of Maguindanao, Lanao and Sulu alongside the Highland societies of Ifugao and Mangyan.

Datu in the tagalog it is maginoo, in the Kapangpangan it is ginu and in Visayan it is tumao were the nobility social class among various culture of pre-colonial Philippine. other is Timawa class were free commoners of Luzon and the visayas who could own their own land who did not have to pay a regular tribute to the Datu, other is Maharlika a member of the Tagalog warriors has the same rights and responsibility of timawa, but in times of war they were bound to serve their datu in battle, they have to arm of themselves at their own expense, Maharlika are less free than timawa and there is an Alipin commonly described as Servants, members of Alipin Class who own their owned house were more accurately equivalent to the medieval European serfs and commoners. By the 15th Century, Arab and Indian Missionaries and traders from Malaysia and Indonesia bought Islam to the Philippine and replace and practiced together with indigenous religions, before that indigenous tribes of the Philippine practiced a mixture of Animism, Hinduism and Buddhism. Barangays was populated by locals called timawa and Alipin they were ruled by Datus, Rajahs and Sultan or royals and defended by the Maharlika.

The short history of knowing the People of Archipelago or Philippine Island is the History of the Island or Archipelago which is name later and after the Philippine, and not yet belong to the true history of Philippine, which is maybe one of the reason, that it is not mostly written in the history of the Philippine, but written in the History of the Island,

The History of the Philippine is important since this is where all sources that connected to the Philippine is based and refer, from his governance, respect of rights, people’s, citizen, belonging, practices, tradition, culture etc. under this name are all based and refer and originate, which is before in his history begin, or known as the pre-colonial Philippine, some of practices, mostly on practices under semi-political governance and its political philosophical belief or system is may not already included and respected or belonging under this name, unless it will given to be considered and accepted by the Philippine and his government and political system, as a citizen of Philippine it is important to the Government and its people to not forget the beginning of History of the Philippine, which is this Island or known to us now as Philippine is they said that they get it or it came and transfer from the previous people living on the island, which may have already established somehow their own political system and its political philosophical belief, which may possibly used to dominate the Philippine and its Government governance today, and may still use as their rights to be respected to and by the government, the question is, if the Philippine is may possibly get this Island from the previous people living on the island, which may already had established their own semi-autonomous political system, or if the island is came or it transfer from this previous people, to people (Filipino today) who connected and part of naming the island the Philippine or known to us now the Philippine and established his own political system which is the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary, and then this previous semi-autonomous political system from previous people want to dominate and even use it as their rights to be respected under by the Government, are they or the Philippine is going to respect the rights and considered or allow it, as if they are giving back what they may get or transfer to them from the previous people on the island and allowing them or giving them to dominate and govern and may possible lead of owning and controlling back the Philippine or the Philippine island today and his political system or if not use and retain its political system is it will change back to their old political system? the answer on this is in the Government and people or true citizen of the Philippine today.

PHILIPPINE HISTORY BEGIN

Philippine History Begun in the Arrival of Ferdinand Magellan when the Spanish settled in the Philippine Island In 1521, it begun a period of European Colonization, Early Spanish settlers were mostly explorer, government officials, soldiers and religious missionaries born in Spain and Mexico.

The Mexicans were a major source of Military Migration to the Philippine and they intermarried and mixed with the Native Filipinos.
