Evaluate
What is its origin? (Who wrote it? What was their background/historical context?)
What is its purpose? (Who was the intended audience?)
What is its content? (What is the main message or argument? Is it authentic and legitimate?)
Interpret
What does it mean? (What are the beliefs, assumptions, or values it follows/contradicts?)
What is its significance? (What does it reveal about the author/period of time/event? Are there any gaps or inconsistencies?)
What are the implications? (How does it relate to other sources? Does it prove or disprove a current claim?)
Compare
Is it similar or different from other sources?
Are there patterns, trends, or discrepancies?

Austronesian Migration
Began 5000 years ago, after the Neolithic Age
Migrated from Southern China to Taiwan to Philippines (Batanes) to Madagascar, Africa to Eastern Island, South America
Austronesians populated the Philippine archipelago for 1000+ years
Marked their entry to the tropics
Austronesians
Named by linguists due to a universal nucleus to the languages of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and islands in Southeast Asia and the Pacific
There are 1200+ languages part of the Austronesian family
Skills and Traditions Shared by Austronesians
Skilled seafarers (utilized boats with double-canoe, single-outrigger, or double-outrigger configurations)
House architecture reflecting the concept of the upperworld, underworld, and earthly realm
Backstrap loom weaving
Betel chewing
Active trading
Manunggul Jar
A secondary burial jar made of clay, 51.5 cm wide and 66.5 cm high, used to protect the bodies of the dead
Embossed, curved design painted with pure hematite and iron
From Manunggul Cave of the Tabon Caves in Palawan, Philippines
Discovered in 1964 by B. Fox and Miguel Antonio
Dated to 890-710 BC
Symbolisms of the Manunggul Jar
The boat represents the soul's pathway towards the afterlife
The sea is painted on the intersection of the lid and the jar, physically showing how the body is enclosed by the sea
The passenger is seated in a fetal position, symbolizing the path of going back from whence you came
The rower is believed to be the guide of the dead to the afterlife, an ancestor
The interpretation of the Manunggul jar allows us to glimpse our ancestor's beliefs, especially in death, and shows their whole culture as they revere their members who have passed away with integral parts of their beliefs and daily lives
The Manunggul jar shows that the Philippines was full of culture and practices even before the colonization era, and this responsibility emerges to integrate this to the Filipino identity of the present
The Philippine Archipelago
Located in the West Pacific Region/Southeast Asia, at the juncture of the large India-Australia plate, Eurasia plate, and Pacific plate - making it the most active tectonic region
Formed as a result of a complex series of geological events: continental rifting, oceanic spreading, subduction, ophiolite obduction, arc-continent collision, intra-arc basin formation, and strike-slip faulting
Major Tectonic Plates
Northward Indian-Australian Plate subducted under the Eurasian plate
Westward subduction of Pacific plate under the Eurasian plate
Minor Tectonic Plates
Philippine Sea Plate subducts under Eurasian at the Ryukyu trench
Sunda/Sulu Sea Micro-plate Subducts along the Negros trench
South China Sea subducts along the Manila trench
Celebes Sea subducts along the Cotabato trench
Tectono-stratigraphic Blocks
Palawan-Mindoro Continental Block (PCB) was originally part of the Asian Mainland, rifted during the Mesozoic
Philippine Mobile Belt (PMB) developed from island arcs and Ophiolite terranes during the Cretaceous
The PCB and PMB collided during the Miocene in the Visayas, resulting in the collage of terranes of varying origin exposed in the central Philippines
Geologic Events/Formations
Earthquakes (caused by the several rigid rotating crustal blocks/platelets)
Basement Rocks (originated from mainland Asia containing Clastic, Carbonate and Igneous Rocks)
Karstic Seaside Formations (Puerto Princesa underground River, Chocolate Hills, Sagada Caves)
Ophiolite and Ophiolitic Basement (originated from oceanic rifts)
Arc basement Rocks (Magmatic Arcs of the Cordillera and Sierra Madre)
Active Volcanoes in the Philippines
Mt Mayon (48 eruptions)
Taal Volcano (33 eruptions)
Mount Kanlaon (27 eruptions)
Mt Bulusan (17 eruptions)
Philippine Folklore Creation Myths are included in the history of the Philippines even though they are not scientific, as they reflect how the ancient humans that inhabited the archipelago thought and entertained themselves
Philippine Folklore Creation Myth
Maguayan (God of the Sea) and Captan (God of the Sky) had children who became the islands of the Philippines
Sicalac (first man) and Sicabay (first woman) were planted by the gods and produced the first humans
Origin of Humans in Philippine Folklore
Sicalac (first man)
Sicabay (first woman)
Libo (first child of Sicalac and Sicabay)
Saman (second child)
Pandaguan (third child)
Arion (child of Pandaguan)
Pandaguan was the ancestor of dark-skinned people, Arion of light-skinned people, and Saman and Libo of brown-skinned people
