long before the arrival of the Spaniards.
Ancient Filipinos were living in scattered burn
guys and ruled by different shift things.
Although they were living separately.
They were similar in many ways,
their religion mode of dressing houses,
system of government
and even marriage practices and
economic activities.
So in short
we were refined and civilized.
Be possessed
a distinct culture
that distinguished them from other race.
Mhm.
Now to transmit knowledge, it was acquired through observation,
imitation
and practice.
There was no formal education.
During pre spanish period,
Children were thought to read and write
by their parents.
It was fair to say that
they were illiterate.
Now the purpose of education during their time was purely for survival.
Their father on hunting animals, thought males
fishing,
agriculture
and other economic activities
while their mothers in managing the household thought females
using the ancient system of writing called by buying
the pre colonial Filipinos
educated themselves very well.
So much so that
when the spanish finally arrived,
they were shocked to find out that the Filipinos possessed
a literacy rate higher than that of Madrid.
However,
the high literacy rate also proved to be a double edged sword for the Filipinos.
Once the spanish arrived,
eager to evangelize and subjugate our ancestors,
the missionaries exploited by buying for their own ends
learning and using it to translate
their various works.
Consequently,
the pre colonial Filipinos become more easily susceptible to foreign influence.
Now one of the advantages of pretty spanish education here in the Philippines
is practical
vocational training.
It is taught by the parents, tribal leaders
and community.
Since we don't have professional teachers at their
time,
they tend to rely on their elders because they believe
that when you grow old you gain more wisdom.
Second is practical skills based on their geography.
Philippines is a prosperous land filled with mountains, sea rivers,
trees and animals.
Basic skills depend on the place they are in.
When they are on the mountain side,
they were thought how to farm and hunt
if they are beside the sea
or river,
they were thought how to catch a fish and other seafoods.
In terms of food,
our forefathers did not suffer
from any lock their off
blessed with such a resource rich country.
We had enough for themselves and their families,
forests
reverse
and sees yielded plentiful supplies of meat
and other
foodstuffs.
Later on
their diet becomes more varied, especially when they learned
to teal the land using farming techniques
that were quite advanced for their time.
The banana, with rice terraces
is one such proof of our ancestors
ingenuity.
What's more.
They already had an advanced concept of agrarian
equity.
Men and women
equally worked in the fields
and anyone could teal
public lands free of charge. Also,
since they had a little to no concept of exploitation
for profit,
our ancestors generally took care
of the environment Well,
such was the abundance of food stuffs that Miguel Lopez de legazpi,
the most successful spanish colonizer
of the islands was said to have reported the abundance of rice
fouls and wine as well as great numbers of buffaloes,
beer,
wild boar and goats.
Now when he first arrived in lasagne
our ancestors
far from being the archetypal
spirit carrying
but have waring tribesman
we betray them to be were very proficient
in the art of war.
Aside from wielding swords and spears,
they also knew how to make
and fire guns and cannons.
Rajah Sulayman
In particular was said to have owned a huge 17 ft long iron cannon.
Aside from the offensive weapon,
our ancestor's also knew how to construct huge fortresses
and body are more
the Morris
living in the south for instance often war are more that covered them had to talk
and yes
they also carried guns with them
with all these weapons at their disposal
and the fact that
they were good hand to hand combatant.
You think that the spanish would have had a harder time colonizing the country.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Okay so now
we also have
teaching off values
we have here
love for the country,
love for the people,
respect
equal rights and justice.
Now values for our ancestors are integral part of their culture
with worldview and personality
they generate behavior.
Being part of a culture that shares a common core set of values,
creates expectations and
predictability without which a culture would disintegrate
and its member would lose their
personal identity and sense of worth.
Now values tell people what is good,
beneficial,
important,
useful, beautiful, desirable,
constructive
and many more.
We answer the question of why
people do what they do.
No values also help people solve common problems for survival
Over time they become the roots of traditions that groups
of people find important in their day to day lives.
Filipino values may be attributed into many influences.
Now this can be form of from its ancestors. Now some values are
bipolar meaning it can be positive or negative. Now
we will talk about the positive values
of
ancient
Filipinos.
Okay and even up to now we still adopt that values.
Now we have here by a neon system or a spirit of kinship and camaraderie
a filipino community spirit and cooperation were in a group of individuals extends
helping hand without expecting any remuneration
now we also have
the mayan system,
sympathy for people who lost their loved ones
in case of death of a certain member of the community,
the whole community and tribe sympathize us with a big beard, family,
neighbors, friends and relatives of the deceased usually give
certain food
certain gifts or love gifts
as their way of showing sympathy
families some or close family relations.
This is
a filipino treat of giving highest importance to family above
other things.
A trade were in
family members should be
taken care and support that regardless of whether
he or she did something wrong,
a family member must given attention
and should not be abandoned.
Lastly
we have
respect to elders,
a family
that of being righteous, both in words and in actions
to the people of
older people.
Now,
our forefathers in the pre colonial Philippines already
possessed a working judicial and legislative system,
although not as advanced or as complicated
as our own today. The fact
that our ancestors already possessed a working judicial
and legislative system
just goes to show that they were
well versed and
in the concept of justice.
Life in pre colonial Philippines was governed by the set of statutes,
both unwritten and written
and contained provisions with regards to civil and criminal loss.
Usually it was the data
and the village elders who promulgated such loss
which were then announced and explained to the people
by a town crier called,
oh mal lujo con
G. And lastly,
we have
equal rights of men and women.
Now, woman shared
while footing with men in society.
Now, during pre colonial times, women shared footing with men in society.
We were allowed to divorce,
own an inherit property and even lead their perspective, barangays or territories
in matters of family,
the woman were for all intents and purposes.
The working heads
possessing the power
of the purse and the sole right to the name
to name their Children.
They could dictate the terms of their marriage and even retain their maiden name
if they chose to do so. During this time,
people also trace their heritage to both their father and mother.
In fact,
it could be said that pre colonial Philippines was largely
matriarchal,
with the opinions of women holding great weight
in matters of
politics and
religion.
Mhm.
And now,
as the conclusion on our topic,
so
the literacy rate was high during
pre colonial or pretty spanish period. Now, the advantages
of education in pre colonial
era was
they are thought
in practical vocational training. They are also well thought in values
and lastly
equal rights of men and women.
That's all for today, and thank you very much for listening.
