1. Beyer's Wave Migration Theory
The most widely known theory of the prehistoric
peopling of the Philippines is that of H. Otley
Beyer, founder of the Anthropology Department
of the University of the Philippines
According to Dr. Beyer, the ancestors of the
Filipinos came in different "waves of migration."
2. Core Population Theory
A less rigid version of the earlier wave migration
theory is the Core Population Theory first
proposed by anthropologist Felipe Landa
Jocano of the University of the Philippines.
This theory suggests that early inhabitants of
Southeast Asia were of the same ethnic group
with similar culture, but through a gradual
process over time driven by environmental
factors, differentiated themselves from one
another
3. Bellwood's Austronesian diffusion theory
(Austronesian Model)
Austronesian groups descended from Yunnan
Plateau in China settled in what is now
the Philippines coming from Taiwan
They became the ancestors of the present-day
Filipinos and later colonizing most of the Pacific
islands and Indonesia to the south

Prehistoric people devised
and used their own system
of writings from 300 BC,
which derived from
the Brahmic family of
scripts of Ancient
India. Baybayin became
the most widespread of
these derived scripts by the
11th century.
Ancient peoples of the
Philippines, being
descendants of
the balangay-
borne Austronesian
migrants from Southeast
Asia, were known for
their navigational skills.

Mining in the Philippines
began around 1000 BC. The

ornaments were also used.
