5 Themes of Geography
• Location
• Place
• Human-Environment
Interaction
• Movement
• Regions
• Location
Where are we?
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.

adapt to the environment by wearing
clothing
suitable for summer (shorts) and

• 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.
