    THE PEOPLING IN THE PHILIPPINES

    Three Main Sources


    1. The story of God’s Creation
    2. The theories of evolution made by human scientist
    3. Legends and Fairytales made up by imaginative people

    A. THE STORY OF GOD’S CREATION


    - According to the Holy Bible, all men and women originated from the first man (Adam) and
    the first woman (Eve).
    - (Genesis 2:7) This is how humanity began, “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the
    ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” God
    then called man Adam, and later created Eve from Adam’s rib.

    B. THE THEORIES OF EVOLUTION MADE BY HUMAN SCIENTIST


    - It is a belief that man came from apelike creatures who lived thousands of years ago in
    caves and have very crude tools.
    - They believed that early Filipinos came from “Waves of Migration”; Negritos, Indonesians,
    and Malays – who peopled these islands and thousand years ago.

    People Before the Spaniards


    The Philippines had been inhabited by natives long before the Spaniards arrives. The
    Negritos were among the Island’s Indigenous People. The Negritos were known for their
    short stature and dark skin. They had curly hair, a small nose, and thick lips. These natives
    were barely dressed because their clothing consists of the bahag and a jacket-like upper for
    men. They walked around barefoot, without shoes or slippers. Their women usually wear
    jewelry, whereas their men usually tattoo themselves. The natives of the island lived in a
    small hut known as bahay kubo. These small huts were typically made of bamboo with nipa
    roofs, both of which are readily available and abundant in the Philippines. Because the
    Philippines is mostly coastal, the natives relied on fishing for a living. The natives, on the
    other hand, went hunting for food. This is due to the Philippines’ abundance of natural
    resources.
    BEYER’S WAVE MIGRATION THEORY
    The most widely accepted theory in the Philippines’ prehistoric peopling is that of H.
    Otley Beyer is the founder of the University of the Philippines Anthropology Department.
    Professor Beyer who headed the department for 40 years, became the undisputed expert on
    Philippine prehistory, exerting early leadership in the field and influencing the first
    generation of Filipino historians and anthropologists, archaeologists, paleontologist,
    geologist, and students worldwide. According to Dr. Beyer, the ancestors of the Filipinos
    arrived in different “waves of migration, as follows;
    1. “Dawn Man”, a cave-man type who lived 250,000 years ago and was similar to Java Man,
    Peking Man, and another Asian Homo erectus.
    2. The Negritos are an aboriginal pygmy group who arrived via land bridges between 25,000
    and 30,000 years ago.
    3. The first immigrants to the Philippines by sea were a seafaring Indonesian group who
    arrived around 5,000 to 6,000 years ago.
    4. The seafaring, more civilized Malays were the true colonizers and dominant cultural group
    in pre-Hispanic Philippines, bringing the Iron Age culture with them.

    C. LEGEND AND FAIRYTALES


    - Folktales are stories with people as main characters that sometimes include feats of
    strength. Myths are stories told to explain the world around us, from the origin of the world,
    to why there are seasons. For example, The story of Malakas and Maganda.
