“Pazeculan” sounds odd, but that’s probably due to transliteration problem. I wonder what was his real name? Everything else checks out, though. People from South Sulawesi (Bugis, Makassarese, Mandarese) are expert sailors, and apparently Iberian languages were not unknown there, as shown by Gowa Kingdom’s chief minister Karaeng Pattingalloang (1600-1654) who were known to speak fluent Portuguese and Spanish.

Miguel de Loarca's account from 1582 gives us a rough idea about the population of the country at the time, the most populated areas in Luzon were Tagalog and Kapampangan regions, while in Visayas, Panay hosts the largest population and was also the most fertile. Ilocano population was also significant, same with Ibanags in Cagayan. While Pangasinan also has a thriving port that hosted Japanese merchants. As for the lingua franca, Malay was probably the preferred language, "Moro" merchants from Luzon regularly traded with Brunei and beyond.

Read the article (Transforming Manila: China, Islam and Spain in a Global Port City) by Ethan Hawkley. The main cause was silver, some merchants wanted the Spaniards in Manila because they were bringing silver from the Americas, which is mainly what the Chinese accepted for their products. Mahomar a merchant brought the Spanish to Manila to negotiate the possibility of settling around the visinity of the city, but Rajah Sulayman refused, he didn't want he Spaniards near Manila and ordered them back to Cebu, however fighting broke out, some say that the Spaniards and their Visayan allies started the fight, while other sources claim that Rajah Sulayman fired a cannon first.

@@GDMod23 First of all, it's important to avoid coloring history with our modern issues and biases. The Visayans didn't come with the Spaniards to actually attack Manila, they were just there to strike a deal, which unfortunately devolved to fighting. With that said, Visayans and Tagalogs certainly had issues, since most Visayan had not converted to Islam. Manila had also been imposing imperialistic policies on the Visayas and non-Muslim parts of Mindanao, like Butuan. Merchant from Manila had basically take over the most important ports in the archipelago and they facilitated nearly all inter-island and inter-ethnic trade, which made all of the other polities become economically reliant on Manila. One Spanish account mentioned that they couldn't trade in Butuan because Tagalog merchants from Manila told the locals to only deal with the Spaniards if it was silver that was being traded and the locals obeyed. Manila was definitely imperialistic at that time, even the deal to allow the Spaniards to settle in Cebu was done with the help of Tagalogs and heavy pressure from Manila. It really seems like the Tagalogs didn't want the Spaniards to settle near Manila for some reason. When Manila was attacked, their relatives and allies from Navotas, Bulacan and Pampanga sent help and they fought the Battle of Bangkusay Channel, this attempt to get rig of the Spaniards failed, then they made another attempt to contact their relatives in Brunei during the Tondo Conspiracy, but this failed due to the treachery of a man named Surabao. We are not sure what his motives were, but it was likely due to silver, if they successfully got rid of the Spaniards, the steady supply of large quantities of silver would end.

@@GDMod23 Of course. Among other questionable "historical narrative" that the Katipunan was nationwide when non-Tagalog groups had nothing to do with them. The reason why the 8 rays represented the Tagalog regions in Luzon was there was no Filipino per se. The Katipunan rebelled to established a Tagalog republic and not a Filipino one. The Philippines was Rizal's thought and for that he was shot for treason by Spain being a Spanish subject which was what the "indios" (for lack of a better description I used this generic term from historical records meaning indigenous not indians) were at that time too. Visayan elites who knew about Mother Spain losing its grip with Las Filipinas took advantage of it because of the collected taxes and their assets from the crown because of the possible power vacuum had to be filled by something to prevent chaos. Early Spanish troop reinforcements did not come from Spain during that Tagalog rebellion but from the Visayas. Loyal Spanish subjects all until the Spanish American war when they joined forces with the tagalogs which were no longer katipuneros but filipinistas.These days one does not question the veracity of the mother narrative tilted for an agenda of social engineering unification though it may be mostly misleading. There were no Filipinos nor Philippines before the Spanish. And no, the Katipunan never ousted the Spanish and the bs that they have intramuros surrounded because the Spanish was about to lose were it not for the Americans was propaganda because they needed to create a country composed of diverse groups and languages. Btw. the non-Tagalog languages were not dialects of "Filipino" which was Tagalog. One should get a hold of "A Country of Our Own" by David Martinez. The tagalogs led by Aguinaldo can claim independence all they wanted but they did not have total control of the Philippines to even imagine that anybody recognized it. The true independence of the Philippines come from USA in July 4, 1946 and not June 12, 1898 because the country was not independent being a Spanish territory up until it was ceded to America. The june 12th independence day was done by Presidential decree President Diosdado Macapagal replacing July 4th. The pre-colonial "Filipinos" weren't Filipinos one must understand that first. The demonization of Spain's contribution as if Spain did not build anything had to be justified in order to create the fiction that every "indio" hated Spain. Bunch of revisionist nonsense.

The archipelago was too hostile both geologically(frequent devastating natural disasters, abundance of pests and parasites, extreme heat) and geographically(labyrinthine terrain outside of coastal areas, lack of productive crops and livestocks) to be home to any geopolitically significant civilization before colonialism, it was fated to be absorbed by an old world empire. Unification would have been improbable because there is nothing to unify, the people in the archipelago co-existed because the common enemy is an environment so hostile it would have made zero sense to go to war with each other like the ancient Japanese, Chinese, Thais, Viets and Indians which turned those said civilizations less syncretic. Logically the minor kingdoms that arose in this region could only have specialized in trade with primitive enough military culture and technology to deal with piracy instead of conventional warfare. The more I think about this country and our lack of pre-colonial prominence the more convinced I am that colonialism really is a deterministic event that would have happened regardless of any political moves done by the pre-colonial people. To put it simply the pre-colonial filipinos needed to absorb the technology and culture of an old world power to keep up with the increasingly expansionist nature of every prosperous civilization from the time period. The Europeans only accelerated the process with technology, if the Europeans didn't colonize the archipelago, I am almost pretty sure it would have been absorbed by the Japanese empire later on when they discover colonial ideas. The Europeans were on the onset of mass industry when they colonized the Philippines, in contrast, we were barely making iron canons and haven't even fully capitalized the age of sails. The only alternate history that is somewhat feasible is how early an independent Filipino republic could've achieved independence from Spain, imagine if the Philippine revolution was successful 1 generation before the US expanded in the pacific and defeated Spain, we could've built a decent enough military to not get completely absorbed by America. Colonialism really is our identity as a united political entity, we would not exist without it, geography just will not allow us to be something like Japan, there is very little successful civilizations that arose in the tropics naturally without interference, especially not in the renaissance period.
