They were called Homo Erectus .they originally live in the African continent. About half a million years ago, the Homo erectus traveled to Europe and Asia.Some scientists believe that some of them eventually reached our islands.

The earliest evidence of modern man in the philippines was found in the Tabon man Cave in Palawan. The Tabon man is referred to as modern man because unlike the Homo erectus man,it significantly looks more like today’s humans. The tabon man is also referred to as homo sapiens which means” wise man”. The skull cap, parts of jawbones and some teeth of the so –called Tabon man were found.Stone tools were also discovered.

The Negritos were the ancestors of the present –day aetas , Agta, Ati ,Dumagat , Ayta, and 25 other tribes of the country.SOME people also believe that they were original people in the Philippines.However, up until now, there is no scientific evidence to prove that this belief is true. The Austronesians It is said that most of our cultural groups came from a band of seafaring people called Austronesians.They reached the philippines about 2,500 years ago. They traveled to our country by using big boats called balangays. They settled in the philippines and became our direct ancestors .

Over the next thousands of years, the descendants of the Austronesians who lived in the Philippines traveled farther outside the country and reached many other places.They also became the direct ancestors of some people from neighboring countries, This is the reason why we have similarities with people from Malaysia, Thailand,and Indonesia. Let’s Check This Out Did you know that one of the Philippines’ national treasures is the Manunggul jar? The jar was discovered in Manunggul Cave in Palawan.

BUILD UP. Aside from the early foreign traders who bartered with the early Filipinos, another group of foreigners came. These groups, however, came to colonize the country.

The Spaniards were tall and white-skinned people. They belonged to the white race. They had deep, round eyes, black hair and well-curved noses. The written history of the Philippines began with the coming of a Portuguese adventurer named Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan was then In the service of King Charles I of Spain, when he wandered into the archipelago while looking for spices. Magellan found an island off Samar named Homonhon on March 16, 1521. He wanted to have his leadership know in the land, but he found refusal from a native named Lapulapu, a brave Mactan chieftain. He fought bravely and defeated the Spanish invaders, and this YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

becomes the important events showing nationalism and bravery of the Filipinos against foreigners. The defeat of Magellan did not stop to colonized the entire archipelago, they came back and named the country Felipinasin honor of King Philip of Spain

and brought a lot of changes in the culture of the Filipinos. Religion Christianity the most important contribution of the Spaniards to the Filipino. They taught how to pray and practice Catholicism, built churches when celebrated the holy mass. Customs Filipinos learned to celebrate fiestas in honor of patron saints. People prepared special food, decorations, games, programs and processions during these important events.

YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

Page 21

Education Parochial schools were built near the parish churches. Colleges and universities for men and women were established all over the country. The Spanish priests also served as teaachers in these schools. The Spaniards put up the University Of Santo Tomas in 1611. It was the oldest university in the Philippines and in Asia.

Language Many Filipino terms today, such as silya, mesa, and bintana, are of Spanish origin. The Spaniards also gave the Filipinos Spanish first names, such as Cecilia, Teresita, and Maria and surnames, such as Santos, Gomez, and Cruz.

Houses Spanish-inspired houses were large, made of wood and cement, and had bricks as roofs.Usually, the windows and balconies were wide and high to allow air to pass through. Pieces of furniture were made of wood with decorations carved on them.

YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

Page 22

Food The Filipinos learned to eat and cook Spanish food such as ArrozCaldo, arrozvalenciana, paella, caldereta,afritada, mechado, as well as sweets and pasties.

Clothing The Filipinos then wore fine clothes which made them well-dressed. Men wore long sleeves shirts, socks, trousers, shoes and hats. WOMEN started to wear blousers, long skirtsm dresses, shoes and stockings. They also began to use combs as hair ornaments and fans to cool themselves.

YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

Page 23

Arts and Culture Filipinos learned to play different games such as the palosebo, juego de anillo, and juedo de prenda during festivities. The Spaniards also introduced card games, cara y cruz and cockfighting. The Filipinos were also taught to However, not all inluences from the Spaniards were worth keeping. The Filipinos were treated as second-class citizens during the Spanish colonization. Such treatment resulted in traits such as the Manama habit, compadre system, amorpropio and overdependence on others. These negative values hindered the countyrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress.

The Americans. While the Filipinos were struggling for freedom, the Americans came to help the Filipinos in their battle against the Spaniards in 1898. When the Spaniards ended their rule, the Americans immediately took over. The American regime, brought with it many things that changed the lives of the Filipinos.

Let’s Check This Out Did you know that before the Spaniards came to the Philippines, the Filipinos already had encountereds with a group of Japanese known as Wakos? They sailed seas of Southeast Asia and reached the Philippines. However, very little is writte about their relationship with the ealry Flipinos.

It is said that the Japanese taught the Filipinos how to breed ducks. They also shared some knowledge on making different tools and weapons. When the Second World War broke out in 1941, the Japanese invaded the Philippines. They occupied our country for over three years. Many Filipinos became homeless and very poor. In order to survive, the Filipinos learned to be creative and resourceful. They learned to boil avocado leaves for coffee or tea. For their daily meal, the Filipinos also learned to mix coconut milk and makapuno to their rice porridge (lugaw). To earn money, the Filipinos engaged in buy-and-sell business. This is a small business operated by buying goods and selling them at a price higher than the original amount. The Japanese occupied the Philippines for a short period of time, they barely left some lasting influences on Filipino culture.  Let’s Keep in Mind  The Spaniards and the Americans colonized our country and influenced the Filipino culture. These foreign influences can still be seen in our way of life today.  The Roman Catholic religion is one of the lasting Spanish influences on Filipino culture.  The Democratic system of government was introduced by the Americans.

Unity Our sense of unity is first seen in our homes. We help in doing house chores. We share sour skills and talents with the family. We have unity if we work and act together to make our lives better.

Our sense of unity as a nation was shown during the EDSA Revolution of 1986. Filipinos from all walks of life such as farmers, priests, nuns and students gathered at EDSA to restore democracy in the country.

Gratitude and Loyalty Filipinos have strong sense of gratitude and loyalty. We call this utangnaloob( debt of honor). If you did a favor to a Filipino, it would not only be appreciated but would also be highly regarded and not forgotten. When was the last time you said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank Youâ&#x20AC;? to your parents and friends?

Filipinos are loyal people. We value friendships. We usually return the favors we receive from others. This is another strong trait of the Filipinos. This attitude also helps our nation.

Bravery and patriotism Filipinos are brave and freedom-loving. We are always ready to die for our country. Our heroes and heroines showed this example when they fought for our freedom against the foreign colonizers. They offered their lives for the sake of our country. They are true patriots.

There are many ways to show love for our country. One way is to buy Filipino products. Buying Filipino products can help improve our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.

Strong Faith In God

Even before the first group of foreigners arrived in the Philippines, our ancestors already had a strong faith in a Supreme Being. They already had their own beliefs. When the foreigners came to the Philippines, they introduced different religions. The Arabs introduced Islam, the Spaniards YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

introduced Catholicism, and the Americans introduced Protestantism. These influences deepened the Filipinosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faith in God. Our strong faith in God makes us stronger especially during difficult times.

How do you appreciate Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings in your life?

Creativity We Filipinos are creative people. We use our talents and skills to create new things. We have lots of products that are skillfully crafted. The Filipino creativity is also shown in the way we improvise things out of scrap materials and even earn money from it. This also shows that Filipinos are productive.

Close Family ties

The members of a Filipino family are very close to each other. We are known for having close family ties.We value our family very much. Parents and children are not the only ones that compose a Filipino family. The Filipino family also includes other family members like grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and other relatives. It is common for us to live in extended families.

YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

Page 37

We consider our family as a source of strength. In times of trials and problems, we seek help from our family. We support each other and we share our blessings with everyone in the family.

Filipino parents love their children from childhood to adulthood. In the same way, Filipino children also love and respect their parents. They also make sure that they can take care of their parents until their old age.

Filipino families hold ruenios during fiesta, Christmas, New Year, Anniversary , and BirthDay celebrations. These family activities keep the Filipino family closer and their relationship stronger.

Love of arts, music, and dance

Before foreign cultures were introduced to the Filipinos, our ancestors already had their own forms of art, music, and dance. These were part of the early Filipino cultures. When the foreigners came to the Philippines, their influence on Filipino culture enriched our ancient forms of Filipino arts, music, and dance. This is the reason why our traditional art, dances, and music have elements of foreign culture. Today, the Filipino talents in arts, music, and dance are being recognized abroad. This proves that Filipinos have world-class capabilities.

The executive branch of our overnment runs the contry. It implements the laws. It is headed by the President. The Legislative branch of the government creates laws. It is also called the Philippines Congress. It is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

Page 102

The Judiciary interprets the law. It is composed of the Supreme Court, the court of Appeals, and all the lower courts in the Philippines. These three branches of the government have equal powers and importance. They work hand in hand. Each branch checks and balances the other branches. Each branch makes sure that the other branches are doing their duties to the people. How Laws are made. Before a law is made, a congressman or a senator must first write the bill. A bill is a proposal of law. The bill undergoes discussions in the House of Representatives and then in the Senate. It must be passed by the congress. Once a bill is approved by the Senate and House Representatives, it will be sent to the President for further approval. When the President signs the bill, it becomes a law. But if the President does not sign the bill into law, he or she must explain the reason to Congress within ten days. However, if two-thirds of the members of Congress will voe to pass the bill , it will become a law. THE POWER OF THE President to refuse to sign a bill into law is called veto power. Our country has many laws. The following are some of our laws. Laws that protect persons and families We have laws that protect persons and families. These laws are in the civil code of the Philippines, the Family Code of the Philippines, the Child and Welfare Code of the Philippines and the Anti- Violence Againsst Women and Their Children Act of 2004. Laws that protect our health We have laws that protect our health. Among these laws are the Generics Act, Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act, and the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act The Genetics Act, through Republic Act 6675, was implemented to promote the manufacture of generic medicines as substitute to branded ones. This makes sure that there will be enough supply of cheap and safe medicines. The Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002 safeguards the people specifically the youth from dangerous substancess that might cause physical and mental problems. Under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1963, the Food and Drug Authority (now Bureau of Food and Drugs) was established to ensure the quality andics produced in the country. Laws that Protect the Workers The workers in our country are also protected by different laws. Some of these laws are the Labor Code of the Philippines the Wage Rationalization Act.

YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL/COLLEGE

President Ferdinand Marcos ratified the Labor Code of the Philippines in 1974. It oversees employment processes from hiring to termination and ensures the rights and benefits of employees. In 1989 regional wage boards were created in compliance with the Wage Rationalization Act or Republict 6727. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim was to create reasonable salary rates for all types of employeres. The Protecton against Child Abuse Act ( R.A. 7610 of 1992) guards the rights of children from abuse, exploitaton, and neglect of their rights. This law allows children to work under certain conditions. Through R. A. 7658, an amendment to R.A. 7610, children less than 15 years old are prohibited to be employed in private and public establishments. Laws that protect our environment Our government laws that protect our environment.

Did you know that there is a law that can put the whole country under milatary rule? This law is caled martial law. It is declared only in times of war, or if the country is in great crisis or if the government threatened from its enemies. Martial Law is frightening law.
