5 Themes of Geography
       Location
       Place
       Human-Environment Interaction
       Movement
       Regions
                                               
       Location
Where are we?
       Absolute Location
      A latitude and longitude (global location) or a street address (local location).
      Paris France is 48o North Latitude and 2o East Longitude.
      The White House is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.           
       Relative Location
      Described by landmarks, time, direction or distance. From one place to another.
      Go 1 mile west on main street and turn left for 1 block.
       Place
      What is it like there, what kind of place is it?
      Human Characteristics
      What are the main languages, customs, and beliefs.
      How many people live, work, and visit a place.
      Physical Characteristics
      Landforms (mountains, rivers, etc.), climate, vegetation, wildlife, soil, etc.
Human-Environment Interaction
       How do humans and the environment affect each other?
      We depend on it.
      People depend on the Tennessee River for water and transportation.
      We modify it.
      People modify our environment by
                heating and cooling buildings for comfort.
      We adapt to it.
      We adapt to the environment by wearing
                clothing suitable for summer (shorts) and
                winter (coats), rain and shine.
       Movement
       How are people, goods, ideas moved from place to place?
      Human Movement
      Trucks, Trains, Planes

      Phones, computer (email), mail
      Idea Movement
      How do fads move from place to place? 
                TV, Radio, Magazines
       Regions
       How are Regions similar to and different from other places?
      Formal Regions
      Regions defined by governmental or administrative boundaries (States, Countries, Cities)
      Regions defined by similar characteristics (Corn Belt, Rocky Mountain region, Chinatown).
      Functional Regions
      Regions defined by a function (newspaper service area, cell phone coverage area).
      Vernacular Regions (Not in your book)
      Regions defined by peoples perception (middle east, the south, etc.)
      Remembering the 5 themes
       If you can’t remembering what they are just ask MR. HELP!!!
      M – Movement
      R – Regions

       Legends and Fairy Tales (Malakas and Maganda)

The Kingdom of Tondo
       Since at least the year 900, the thalassocracy centered in Manila Bay flourished via an active trade with Chinese, Japanese, Malays, and various other peoples in East Asia.
       Tondo thrived as the capital and the seat of power of this ancient kingdom
       Led by kings under the title "Lakan" and ruled a large part of what is now known as Luzon from or possibly before 900 AD to 1571.
       It grew to become one of the most prominent and wealthy kingdom states in pre-colonial Philippines
       Due to heavy trade and connections with several neighboring nations such as China and Japan.

The Rajahnate of Butuan
       1011AD Rajah Sri Bata Shaja, the monarch of the Indianized Rajahnate of Butuan, a maritime-state famous for its goldwork sent a trade envoy under ambassador Likan-shieh to the Chinese Imperial Court demanding equal diplomatic status with other states.
       The request being approved, it opened up direct commercial links with the Rajahnate of Butuan and the Chinese Empire thereby diminishing the monopoly on Chinese trade previously enjoyed by their rivals the Dynasty of Tondo and the Champa civilization
       Evidence of the existence of this rajahnate is given by the Butuan Silver Paleograph.

The Rajahnate of Cebu
       The Rajahnate of Cebu was a classical Philippine state which used to exist on Cebu island prior to the arrival of the Spanish.
       It was founded by Sri Lumay otherwise known as Rajamuda Lumaya, a minor prince of the Chola dynasty which happened to occupy Sumatra.
        He was sent by the maharajah to establish a base for expeditionary forces to subdue the local kingdoms but he rebelled and established his own independent Rajahnate instead.
       This rajahnate warred against the 'magalos' (Slave traders) of Maguindanao and had an alliance with the Butuan Rajahnate before it was weakened by the insurrection of Datu (Lord) Lapulapu.

The Confederation of Madja-as
       During the 11th century several exiled datus of the collapsing empire of Srivijaya led by Datu Puti led a mass migration to the central islands of the Philippines, fleeing from Rajah Makatunao of the island of Borneo.
       Upon reaching the island of Panay and purchasing the island from Negrito chieftain Marikudo, they established a confederation of polities and named it the Confederation of Madja-as centered in Aklan and they settled the surrounding islands of the Visayas.
       This confederation reached its peak under Datu Padojinog. During his reign the confederations' hegemony extended over most of the islands of Visayas.
       Its people consistently made piratical attacks against Chinese imperial shipping.

The Country of Mai
       Around 1225, the Country of Mai, a Signified pre-Hispanic Philippine island-state centered in Mindoro, flourished as an entrepot, attracting traders & shipping from the Kingdom of Ryukyu to the Yamato Empire of Japan.

The Sultanate of Lanao
       Founded in16th century through the influence of Shariff Kabungsuan, who was enthroned as first Sultan of Maguindanao in 1520.
       The Maranaos of Lanao were acquainted with the sultanate system when Islam was introduced to the area by Muslim missionaries and traders from the Middle East, Indian and Malay regions who propagated Islam to Sulu and Maguindanao.
       Unlike in Sulu and Maguindanao, the Sultanate system in Lanao was uniquely decentralized.
       The area was divided into Four Principalities of Lanao or the Pat a Pangampong a Ranao which are composed of a number of royal houses (Sapolo ago Nem a Panoroganan or The Sixteen (16) Royal Houses) with specific territorial jurisdictions within mainland Mindanao.
       This decentralized structure of royal power in Lanao was adopted by the founders, and maintained up to the present day, in recognition of the shared power and prestige of the ruling clans in the area, emphasizing the values of unity of the nation (kaiisaisa o bangsa), patronage (kaseselai) and fraternity (kapapagaria)

The Sultanate of Sulu
       In 1380, Karim ul' Makdum and Shari'ful Hashem Syed Abu Bakr, an Arab trader born in Johore, arrived in Sulu from Malacca and established the Sultanate of Sulu.
       This sultanate eventually gained great wealth due to its manufacture of fine pearls.

The Sultanate of Maguindanao
       At the end of the 15th century, Shariff Mohammed Kabungsuwan of Johor introduced Islam in the island of Mindanao
       Subsequently married Paramisuli, an Iranun Princess from Mindanao, and established the Sultanate of Maguindanao.
       By the 16th century, Islam had spread to other parts of the Visayas and Luzon.
