- When people think of Philippine traditional clothing, the Barong Tagalog and the Traje de Mestiza come to mind. But did you know that we got more than just these attires. With diverse ethnic groups, each have their own traditional clothing. Even the Christianized lowland ethnic groups have also their own traditional clothing, especially before Spanish colonialism.
Here is how Visayan people dressed before colonialism.

This video is very informative especially if you want to learn the pre colonial history of the Philippines!
Thank you! The webinar link is also in the description since there is more info in the recording that is 5 hrs long 😁😁😁

So dont say we’re copying malaysians and indonesians, i dare you 😂😂😂 this lives in my mind rent free
😂😅
nah we're brothers and sisters, personally i never see anyone claiming filipinos copying malaysians or indonesians, philippines are still a part of southeast asian culture, and loosely part of indosphere, if it weren't for the spaniards you guys would still be like the balinese. greetings from indonesia ^^
Not Copying, but Indonesian, Malays and Philipines came from the same DNA and same ancient culture.
I do not think we are copying Malaysian/Indonesian clothing because were close siblings. We have to mirror with the Japanese culture and education because we are very similar having Kings, Queens, Prince, Princesses and our version of Knights of far east. I overheard White people do not want to talk about the Philippines past, but they acknowledge that we were similar to Japanese in terms of positions, presentation, others. -Ayap
Hye I am from Malaysia ...Filipino is our sibling and I agree with you.

Visaya is Sri Vijaya. Some say it was a Hindu while others insist it was a Buddhist Kingdom in Indonesia that lost a war with a Hindu Kingdom. Survivors fled North to what is now Visayan region...
Ilonggo/Hiligaynon - Bayo
Binisaya/Cebuano - Sanina
Tampi - to cover the body
I love how our language evolved
I’m half Filipino, so I’ve always wanted to wear pre-colonial Filipino attire. Thank you for this video!
Many kingdoms that existed in what we consider today as the Philippines were built and founded by people from neighboring Indonesia. It is not hard to imagine how our ancestors' pre colonial wear look like as most of our ASEAN neighbors have pretty much kept theirs despite colonization. I have been reading recently about PH references from chinese annals. The Kingdom of Butuan is so underrated - they had the guts to ask the Chinese emperor to afford them the same treatment as Champa. The Kingdom of Sulu also deserves to be elevated in our consciousness as Filipinos as it is a force to be reckoned with long before borders were carved out in SEA. These kingdoms have gone to China and if they did, nobles would have had silk in their wardrobe. I wonder how they would have used them aside from what we already know that they wore. I am curiouse because silk then was all the rage in europe too. I pity we have lost so much of our identity to colonization.
Thank you for this. Keep doing what you do! Hello from Cebu!!!
Greetings from Malaysia. I was very happy to see Pinoy traditional dress before the colonial era in Southeast Asia. Yes, our ancestors shared the same fashion sense with various styles across thousands of ethnic and tribal groups with different ways of life or social customs. I'm really happy when our neighbouring countries, especially their natives, still appreciate our original heritage before the West affected it not in a good way. And I hope that I can see more of pre-colonial Philippines fashion raised to the mainstream. Same goes to every South East Asian countries 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Imperial Manila tried wipe out all the languages and cultures of other Filipino ethnicity
I am FilAm, both parents are Visayan. My Dad Pedro was born in 1896. I am learning the language now. Salamat!
Salamat sa pag share. I love more educational specially my own tribe.
The traditional clothing of ethnic group in the pre-colonial era eg. Visayan, deserves attention as one of the national costumes of the Philippines.
Not gonna happen lol cuz of superiority of the Tagalog/ Chinese descendants 😅
LOUDER👏🏻👏🏻💕
Love this video. As a model and designer it’s always amazing to learn about styles from back in the day of our ancestors. The Philippines is such a diverse country so it’s nice to see this diversity within the tradition clothing as well prior to colonialism. A few of the outfits looked vary similar to some tradition clothing in parts of Africa like modern day Nigeria.
mas ganahan ko og pre colonial visayan clothing, nindot ang clothing na gisuot sa atong ninono, i love it 😊❤️
Daghang salamat 🙏💖
As an American expat now permanently residing in Davao City with my Filipina wife, I found your video particularly fascinating and informative. Keep up the great work in helping others, including Filipinos, to understand the precolonial history and customs of the Philippines. I have learned a lot to help me better understand my wife and her habits. Could I offer one suggestion to improve your presentation? When you show pictures, don't just flash them for a nanosecond or so. It's hard to see and appreciate what you are showing. Know that often in your video you can simply talk unseen in the background and show the pictures longer so listeners like me can fully appreciate what you are displaying. Keep making your informative and fascinating videos.
Hi! Thank you for this. Since I’m still pretty new at vlogging, I’m still not as good yet. Thank you for the suggestions to help me improve! 🙏
@@nahiadiwata8599 Thank you for taking my comment to be what it was intended to be--positive and constructive. I am a retired American professor with over 50 years of teaching experience. You have great material. I hope my suggestion helps you to get your message across better. My best to you.
I keep telling folks that us Maphilindo peeps have, like, pretty similar cultures. But whenever we Malaysians rock our traditional clothes, those folks from Indonesia go all, "Hey, you're copying our entire culture! You guys ain't got nothing of your own!" Seriously, how shallow can these peeps be? LOL! Like, my grandma was Javanese, and a lot of Malaysians have Indonesian roots, so what are they even expecting? 😂😂😂

Why don't you look at your privilege first before judging others
@@glennsriyousefbaun-cueto9287what kind of privilege.
Salamat kaayo kapatid Nahia. Our Visayan ancestors originally migrated from Borneo in Indonesia before settling in Panay, then the rest of central Philippines aka the Visayas. They where Hindunized, so our culture and traditional garments reflected that mixed with our indigenous animistic beliefs. The Proto Indonesians and Malay all came from the Philippines.
BONGA! You look stunning in our traditional garments!
PS, Proto Thai, the Cham people of Southern Vietnam, and the Naga people of Nagaland East India are all Austronesian. But because of Han Chinese, and Hindu influence, the 1st two changed. The Naga has kept their nativeness akin to Taiwanese Aboriginal, and Igorot people which can be seen in their clothing style, housing, music, dances, and in general their culture and traditions like tattooing, chewing betel nut chewing, and tooth filing.

this is great ! Thank you for sharing. I always wished there was more Pre Colonial Philippines information.
This is such an informative and lovely video! I only knew much about in Luzon and just a scarcity in the Visayas so this type of video really helps my personal research further.
Triggers my memory core of my history classes in elem and hs as well as the fun museum field trips I've been through.Such nostalgia~
One particular memory of that was they told us that the baro't saya that was used during colonial era is actually based on one of the many pre-colonial baro't saya designs worn by upper class women in Luzon.
The tailoring, some of the materials, and the components are very similar to that of the precolonial. The only difference is that the colonial one redesigns the older version into a stripped down/color-modest clothing (white or pastel lace-filled top and dark color exaggeratingly puffy bottom) for a more "classic look" that would fit the colonial aesthetic.
The pre-colonial version (atleast in the upper class) tends to be more versatile, diverse in design, vibrant mixed in pastels and the blouse can either be full-fabric or see-through (for warmer days). Also, another cute info that I recall was that the upper class women tend to make their skirts puffier (not as exaggerated as the ones in colonial era) through layers of patong/wrap around fabrics under petticoat-like skirts to indicate wealth or something like that.
It's really neat to see different styles of pre-colonial clothing in the Philippines and I'm glad to see it's diversity of it all.
My grandma used to Wear her patadyong like the lambong or lawas style, since she was always outside working
The style is still alive til this day, especially among the older women 🥹 Me and my friends are also reviving this style as well

Patadyong.
My great grandma from Negros occidental, wore this and I remember her fondly because of her attire.
Wow pre-colonial cloth of Philippines look so much similar to India's cloth I am not saying it is copy or influence ,just saying what I feel and if I hurt anyone feeling then I am sorry but your cloth is amazingly beautiful and love from India ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well it is true that India has left a huge influence in Southeast Asia hence why we may have some similarities. Even our languages have Sanskrit and Tamil loanwords

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I know this is weird to say this, but thank you, this helped with a dnd character of mine. Like I said, weird to connect this to dnd. So, context, there is a module my group and I play in that takes inspiration (it’s still a fantasy world so allowances you know) from pre colonial culture of the Philippines. But there isn’t much art in the module and I made a character who was supposed to be from this region. This means I have been trying to dive into researching what clothes my character would likely wear, and take inspiration for it in their design. Anyway, I found it really difficult to find pre colonial clothing information until I stumbled on your video. It has been a HUGE help in finding the correct direction to research, so THANK YOU so MUCH for posting this and making it so informative. It’s helped me figure out my direction and I have a clearer idea on not only my character’s clothing design, it also more of the context of their culture. I just want to do this justice.
Very informative video. Before watching the whole video, I wrote that the boxer codex is a very good source of information. I was surprised when you talked about it. So I deleted my post. Then I wrote not to forget that Filipinos before the arrival of the Spaniards wore a lot of golds and even the poor people wore gold. You also talked about it! This is a well researched video. Keep it up!
My only wish is that the dresses worn pre-Spanish time can be revived. Hopefully some Filipino fashion designers can show interest about these long lost Filipino attires and revive them.
This is a success Nahia!!! This has already reached 15K views! So proud of y'all!
I can’t believe it either 🤯🤯🤯😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹
In Thailand the sagbay has a similar name, it is called sabay. I think same in Cambodia

Hi! I'm a Visayan here, specially from Negros. I find the video very informative.
In Polynesia, a plumeria worn over the right ear means the wearer is open to a romantic relationship.
Oooohhhhh that’s so interesting. Thank you for sharing. Normally for us we wear flowers for the sake of vanity haha
In Pre colonial times even there slaves wore gold ornaments because we have more gold here around. It is being said if you want to get gold then go find a river.
Im not visayan but ilocano. I really love our precolonial era. My dream is to decolonize the Philippines and bring back baybayin, golden costumes of precolonial era
We also have to decolonise from Imperial Manila when they're constantly trying to wipe out other cultures

It is impossible to decolonize Filipinos now. For over 500 years, the Filipino culture is already Hispanic the same with Latin Americans. If you want to decolonize then it would not be Filipino anymore. Put out the western part of the Filipino and it would be Muslim people, LECHON calderetada, afritada, mechado, morcon and other pork dishes will not be already seen, no paella, no leche flan, no pandesal and other bread, not Filipiniana and Maria Clara, no Ibong adarna literature and other literature, no Christianity and Christian Catholicism, no fiestas, no Araw ng mga patay, no grand Christmas celebration and no Christmas food that we enjoy now. Your surname would be "Dayangdatang, Liwayway, Aninipot, Bantaw etc. Maaring di ka rin NAIPANGANAK o ang ilan sa mga vayani natin ay di rin ipinanganak dahil karamihan sa kanila at sa ATIN ay may mga dugo ng pagaasawa ng Espanyol at mga katutubo. We do not only have one foreparents. We have to recognize both. God allow us to happen in order to build this Christian country that become more fun and merrier. The land of the fiestas. Filipinas! Parang anak ka ng magulang mo na iisa lang ang kinokonsidera mo. Alalahanin mo na hindi ka mabubuo kung Hindi nagsiping ang mga magulang mo. That is a comparison. Recognize both. It makes our culture unique and beautiful. Wag ka na magsuot ng barong by the way. Huwag mo na gamitin apelyedo mo. Huwag ka ba magsimba. Huwag ka makipiesta. Huwag ka kumain ng mga 80 PERCENT na pagkaing Hispano. Huwag ka kumanta ng Lupang hinirang na Ang mga basehan ng himig ng mga Sinaunang waiting ay sa tunuging Kastila. Magsuot ka na ng damit ng lumad o magsuot ng mga kasuotang tulad ng mga Muslim sa Malaysia at Indonesia. Do not call yourself Filipino anymore it is a Spanish name. Pag-awayin mo ng mga ISLA sa Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao. Bago kasi dumating ang mga Espanyol ay magkakahiwalay sila at magkakalaban. Hindi kasi ito magiging isang bansa kung Hindi dahil sa colonization. Ibigay mo ang Mindanao sa Malaysia. Ang Visayas ay gawin mong ibang bansa. Ang Luzon ay gawin mo ring isang bansa kasi possible na kanya kanya silang bansa kung di ito nasaioalim ng kingdom of Spain. Huwag ka na rin pala pumunta sa mga plaza. Palitan mo ng tawag sa mga gamit mo sa bahay at mga part ng bahay, Espanyol kasi ng pagkakatwag natin.

Good day to you, Ms. NahiaDiwata! I am an artist and I like design original characters with elements of precolonial garments. I am also currently writing a story about them. But I really started drawing with the concepts having the elements of ancient Chinese hanfu since I am also a fan of Donghua (with genres like Xianxia and Xuanhuan). They all fall into fantasy genre in general, if my understanding is right. Aside from that, I am also interested in character concepts related to RPGs. After I decided to learn deeper about the Philippine folklore, myths, and legends, my design aesthetics (if that's the right term) has evolved even more. I started to design a Tikbalang wearing a "bahag" but with ornate accessories reminiscence of Chinese clothing and RPG costumes. Though I enjoy it a lot, I still couldn't help but wonder if I am making a mistake by combining two cultures (Pre-colonial Philippines and Ancient China) in one design. A few people I know in my community told me that it shouldn't have been. But since my works are heavily influenced by fantasy genre, I can just relax and take it easy. They said I just had to be careful with elements that had strong meaning and symbolisms in pre-colonial Filipino culture. It eased my hesitation but not totally. Then after hearing you talk about the "Sinina", I finally understood why I am drawn to ancient Chinese fashion. I mean, I don't think it's what you really want to say, maybe, but your vlog made me feel even more confident using the design elements of my choice. Thank you very much and may you have more success in the future. Good luck!
I like pelipens folklore,myth and legend the aswang and the manananggal+ tikbalang .

You just highlighted the shortsightedness and close mindedness of modern Filipinos brought about by hundreds of years of indoctrination and suppression of thought brought by Spanish colonisers through it's agent, "the church" brainwashed us that Philippines was DISCOVERED by Magallanes and that history begins when it happened. Let us make religion a guide, not a shackle. Only then we can be free to think freely and discover the wonderful and rich history and culture we have as a people.
Imperial Tagalog is also at fault in this as well. When the colonisers left our islands, they were replaced by Tagalogs and their Tagalog-centric government and policies
Hmm, has there ever been documentation for goldleafed clothing (known as prada in Indonesia) in the Philippines? I know that many groups, especially in Mindanao, have their own versions of gold thread-woven cloth (known as songket among many groups in Indonesia).
I’ve seen Hablon (weavings from Visayas) with some gold thread woven in them. But I am not really sure. I believe we may have similar textiles but for prada, I have yet to check on it. But due to trade, Songket would definitely be worn here, especially among the wealthy
Hey thanks for sharing our culture. I am from the U.S. & part Visayan Waray!
Thank you for this information,you make feel proud of our culture.Keep it up.
The ancient Filipino clothes that are described in the boxer codex book are the same as the clothes of the Indonesian tribes in the eastern region. As in Lombok it is called "lambung", in South Sulawesi it is called "bodo", and this dress is also used on the island of Sumbawa. Judging from the Visayas ethnic clothing, especially women's clothing, which uses cloth wrapped around the chest, it shows the influence of global fashion culture in the Southeast Asian region at that time. Because at that time the influence of Indian culture was very much in Kuta, including fashion, so it was very common for clothes in the Southeast Asian region, which were influenced by Hindu-Buddhist culture, to be the same Or similar to each other
Isn't "bodoh" Bahasa for stvpid?
It's bogo in Cebuano.
@@miaya3898 yes... In bahasa Indonesia "bodoh" h meaning stupid. here what is entered is the name of the women's clothing typical of South Sulawesi "Bodo", Don't use H

You have a very interesting topic. Personally, I also dont like that famous Terno dress. Only 10% of Filipina can wear it looking good, less 10% taller like beauty queens, not the 90% of Filipinas. It also pales in comparison to Hanfu of China, Hanbok of Korea and Kimono of Japan that are culturally rich in Asian history. When Austronesian ancestors of Filipinos, is supposed to be more ancient people & capable skilled sea-farers compared to these Nations around. As a “supposed” land of Gold, Filipiniana is not representing well the very rich cultural diversity in Philippines archipelago.
Im gonna checkout more your interesting channel. Young designers of this generation should initiate revival of these pre-colonial dress heritage that was left in time or buried inside the pages of the books or old wooden chest. Philippines deserve more!
I do not like Terno dress, not sexy.
@@user-cl5uc3ri5elet it be known that they don't wear panties underneath that dress back then.🩲So they are sexy underneath.
@@enriqueoliva6988um just because panties isn't in south east asia, its only in europe because they invented that
woman in southeast asia never wore panties its only they wore tapis/malong/patadyung to cover their p*ssy.

Well Philippines is Southeast Asia and pre colonial fashion is very similar with our neighbors 😁😁 Thank you 🙏
Nice and very informative. I myself am Visayan and Waray in particular but I grew up in the US. I've always wanted to learn more about precolonial Philippines. In fact, it would be great if you would talk about Visayan tribes as there have been a lot of research regarding Mindanao and Luzon tribes but almost nothing about the Visayan tribes, especially eastern Visayas (which I think are still connected to the Guamanian tribes [particularly chief Huraw]).
There's a lot of resource material on the Visayans. Read up on the Barangay book.
@@JuriBinturong Unfortunately such books are not available in the US nor are they available online. So we are at the mercy of those in the Philippines creating content about the Philippines' pre-colonial history, or at present, non-Filipinos, who are the more active ones creating a Westernized version of the precolonial history of the Philippines, which is biased.

there are words we saying among malay historian enthusiast, that we always considered the people of the pre-colonial Filipina as ''melayu yang hilang asal-usul'' (the malays who lost their root), there are dozen of example of pre-colonial malays that still culturally ''survived'' outside of pre-dominant malay kingdom.
In 671 A Tang dynasty Chinese monk, Yijing, wrote that he visited Srivijaya (Malay kingdom) for six months. Srivijaya was a Buddhist thalassocratic empire, which influenced much of Southeast Asia. Srivijaya was an important centre for the expansion of Buddhism from the 7th to the 12th century AD. Srivijaya was the first polity to dominate much of western Maritime Southeast Asia. Due to its location, the Srivijaya developed complex technology utilizing maritime resources. In addition, its economy became progressively reliant on the booming trade in the region, thus transforming it into a prestige goods-based economy. Tanah Melayu (Malay World) literally extend as far as currently the land of Hawaii as the people spoke in the same language tree.
In 1025 CE, the Chola Emperor Rajendra I, launched naval raids on Srivijaya in maritime Southeast Asia, Rajendra's overseas expedition against Srivijaya was a unique event in India's history and its otherwise peaceful relations with the states of Southeast Asia. Several places in present-day Indonesia and Malay Peninsula were invaded by Rajendra I of the Chola dynasty.
In 1200 When Sri Lumay Founded the rajahnate, he is a minor prince of the Chola dynasty which occupied Sumatra. He was sent by the Maharajah to establish a base for expeditionary forces but he rebelled and established his own independent rajahnate.
In 1258 So Rajah Ahmad (malay) were sent to free his people from the chola (historically indian) and take back the malay land, and named the city Fi-Amanillah.
In June 24, 1571, after the defeat of the indigenous Rajah Sulayman III in the Battle of Bangkusay, Spanish took the city
the hypothesis here is the ''pre-colonial'' era are dominated by srivijayan empire influence by at least 950years, Chola influence only lasted for approximate 233, while the Spanish merely take a pre-existing city of Manilla and mass converts the peoples to Christianity and thus the names Philipines (land of King Phillip (literally the dude is a Spaniard, different race how can he declared another race is his people? it doesn't make sense)....here im oversimplifying , but hopefuly u get the point.
the dress and the gold ornament that you wear is literally a common items in malay world culture, so while you still searching of your pre-colonial identity before Spaniard ruled in 1571, but the srivijaya & majapahit & chola has established their culture well since 7th AD......there might be truth in it dont u think?
It just surprises me that shabu means crystal meth in Tagalog and the main Malay dialog. How can that be after centuries of linguistic diversion?? 😃😃😃😃😃
Ironically many Malays today adopt Arabic culture as their own, the traditional arabic clothes like thawb and abaya. Who said that they need to follow Arab culture to be "real Muslims"?
Bagaimana orang Filipin yang hilang asal usul kalau orang Melayu sendiri pun sedang hilangkan?
Majority of us in the Philippines has Malay ancestry especially the Visayas islands. I'm pretty sure the name still carry the kingdom of Sri Vijaya. The coloneal masters just want us to forget our past. This "Lady" is actually a Spanish descents. There's many of Us that lost our identity. 😂
Lol, the malay mostly had lost their culture deliberately killed by themselves due to unislamic. You talk nonsense here, the malay should be buddhist as like their predecessors.
It was not Srivijaya that influence southeast asia the name srivijaya itself only appears in sumatera northern coastal area, and in eastern malay peninsula. It's Sailendra that the influencer, the name dynasty appears in Java, southern kalimantan, south thailand. It also appears in Kambuja, and champa incriptions under the name of Yavadwipa attacks on their land. According to arab notes from Sulayman (Rihlah As-Sirafiy) in 851 CE, Meadows of Gold and Mines of Gems says that Zabag unite Sribuza (Srivijaya) and Kalah (Kedah) under vassalage states, if sailendra was srivijaya how come srivijaya control other srivijaya?
Sorry, if naistorbo kita. Ito pala ginagawa mo kanina. Sorry ulit. Here's my take on ur content: "Thank you". Thank you for promoting our heritage and history. Thanks for everthing friend.
hi NahiaDiwata thanks for your informative video. I was born and raised in the UK however I am originally from Bohol. I want to get to know how my ancestors lived before the spanish, and one aspect is what did Boholanos wear before colonialisation? was it the same as what they wore in cebu and on the other visayan islands or did boholanos wear specific clothes? if you have any more information regarding this I would be grateful! I hope one day I will be able to obtain some pre-colonial visayan male clothing for myself and showcase it!
I believe the Visayans wore pretty much almost the same thing. Bohol is beside Cebu so I would guess that they wore the same thing
@@nahiadiwata8599 thank you for the insight! where can I obtain some traditional visayan male clothing?
Influence from the ancient Sri Vijayan Empire??
Vijaya = Visaya
So you see the style and traditional clothing resembles that from what they have in Bali, Indonesia.
Even the word Visaya is taken from “Vijaya”.
There is still debate among historians regarding the connection between Srivijaya and Visayas.
I don't think there is a relationship between the visaya and Sriwijaya, because the visaya can be directly influenced by India, through Sanskrit. In general, the Philippines has a relationship with the Hindu kingdom in Java, based on the findings of the Laguna inscription
@@paramesvari_Yasovarmadevi you can search up the Butuan Caraga heritage museum and the Museo de Balanghai to see Visayan Buddhist statues, as well as the ancestral gold in the Ayala museum. Also search up Shiva statue of Cebu and the golden Tara of Agusan. Precolonial Visayans practiced Vajrayana Buddhism syncretized with animism.
@@nahiadiwata8599
Don’t you think it uncanny that VIJAYA and VISAYA are eerily so similar?
@@baldeagledelta3482 Visaya in sanskrit and pali has many meanings but ones that stand out are: A collection of villages. A refuge, an asylum. 2. A country, sphere, domain, province, country;
Baju (Baru) in Indonesia and Malaysia
Sarong Kebaya in greater Borneo
Very interesting.
New subscriber here.
Wish to learn deep visayan dialects particularly waray and Ilongo even boholano.
Maupay na adlaw.
Salig sa Guinoo.
Baskog!
Ilongo and waray are languages not dialects but boholano is a dialect of cebuano so yeah you also right
Well, barong tagalog and saya are not really The Philippines' very own culture, because these were just introduced by Spanish who colonized the country for more than 300 years. I still love our very own traditional dress and clothes more than any of those from colonizers. But I don't hate them either. I just wish Filipinos give more emphasis on wearing our very own on different occasions and not just Barong tagalog and saya.
Wrong. Barong Tagalog and Baro’t Saya have pre colonial origins. Baro is a cognate of the Malay word Baju. Their pre colonial silhouettes would have resembled a Baju kurung or Kebaya and Baju Melayu. If Spain introduced these clothes to us, it would look exactly like what they wore. But Spanish ppl don’t wear Barong and Baro’t saya.
Idiot 🤭😂😜🤭 ALL ASEAN 😜 use BARONG ( 😅 ) BEFORE Spanish colonized the Philippines
Try to search BARUNG ( use ) by Malaysia Indonesia Vietnam Cambodia 😅

Its nice to see other aboriginal/indigenous people reviving their culture. Yes, you all had a thriving culture way before the Spaniard’s came and destroyed it. When are you all going to stop calling yourselves “Filipino’s” and “Filipina’s”?? That is going to take some time, because colonialism did what was intended to do, but the revival has begun. From what I was told by some “Filipino’s”, the original name of the archipelago was Maharlika?? And it meant the warrior class?? Thank you for sharing this rich heritage.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sorry no, those people you encountered are unfortunately known from spreading rumors, they have a political agenda. The country was never united, and it was never called Maharlika. Each group were doing their own thing. In the Philippines, the Visayans are the biggest ethnolinguistic group in the country, and the biggest subgroup among these Visayans are the Bisaya people. They inhabit the Central Visayas, Western and Southern Leyte, Northern Mindanao, Eastern Mindanao, and Southern Mindanao. The warrior class in the Bisaya social structure are called the Timawa, they were tattooed and were freemen. The other warrior class among the Bisaya was the warrior-servant, Horohan.
The precolonial Visayans, especially the Bisaya people, were practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism, which originated from Tibet and the Bisaya syncretized it with Animism. Their small thalassocracy was one of the last holdouts of Vajrayana Buddhism in maritime Southeast Asia against an impending tide of Islamization that was sweeping Southeast Asia during that time. By the time of the Spanish arrival, the Bisaya were still licking their wounds from an onslaught of raids by the Sultanate of Ternate and its allies in Western Mindanao.
Over the years of constant warfare, the weakened Visayans have lost their past glory, and eventually succumbed to the might of the Spanish empire, not only did they surrender their land but also their cultural identity. But it was not a smooth transition.
The first local to defeat a western colonizer was Lapulapu, he was a Bisaya, the longest revolt in Philippine history which lasted 85 years was by a Bisaya named Dagohoy. Much of the original Visayan culture was destroyed by the overzealous Catholic Church and the greedy conquistadors, but thankfully, remnants of the old Visayan civilization survived, including their Buddhist statues, jewelries, armor, weapons, helmets etc. These priceless pieces of history can be seen in the Ayala Museum, the Butuan Caraga Heritage Museum, and in the Museo de Balanghai.
if ever Philippines name is to be changed , i would suggest luzviminda, instead of maharlika. from luzon - luz visayas - vi mindanao - minda
True 100%
This is a good content. However, I could hardly appreciate the images shown cuz' it was flashed way too fast. But overall, it was great.
Yeah. I’ve taken note of that. Will make sure not to do this again in future vlogs. Thank you 🙏
can you have a tutorial pano ung bahag ng visayas iba kc sa luzon
Gwapo ni ipromote kada sinulog along with tattooing...
Saan niyo po nabili yung damit mopo ?
BA-dû. Stress on the first syllable. 🙂👍🏻
Nindot kayo nga mga sinina
Can I still register? I want to have those videos.
you make me want to wear this too as a visayan 🥺🥺🥺
you look lovely btw
Thank you! 😍
Similiar like Srivijayan Malay, Javaka-Malayur Empire or Malaccan Sultanate Malay Costume
We are very similar with you guys before Spanish colonization because we traded with you guys and formed alliances 🥰
Tooto Iyan!👍👍👍
Watch "PURCHASE OF PANAY ." That's the bases of Dinagyang. Panay island must be the meeting place of those Datus before sailing in some other islands.
In Srivijaya era clothes like this seen in the video had not yet been developed, it's due to lacking on evidences the people of malay are claiming this and that costume established during the reign of srivijaya era, even in java that practically has more evidences on what costume their predecessors were used, as can be seen on javanese temple reliefs and statues across central, east java and bali which suggest none of these costumes be seen in the video or in any javanese modern clothes have any similarity, most javanese traditional clothes can only be traced back during Majapahit, Singahasari era especially the one that crafted on Mahapahit's temple reliefs and statues.
@@davidivory3234 maybe the clothes has influence from Bugis/Macassar since they are the active merchant around archipelago or maybe influence from Ternate kingdom because Ternate had trade or territory encompass to small part Philippines even their chavacano language has striking similar with old Ternate language
It is way too hot in the Philippines to dress like that every day. That clothing was meant for special occasions. 😃😃😃😃😃
The one I wore is really for special occasions but pre colonial attires is actually much more appropriate for our climate compared to the Spanish colonial era attires. 😁
It was a lot colder in the Philippines (or Southeast Asia for that matter) during the precolonial times, without buildings, paved roads, factories etc. The only recorded AVERAGE temperature was 24C in 1904.
Well in other SEA countries that still use these type of clothings, they’re even hotter than Ph.
You think colonial clothes isn’t hot to wear or even the modern western coat and tie?
But those clothes were still worn due to prestige and fashion regardless of the heat and discomfort.
@@baldeagledelta3482 Bisaya have a name for formal clothes, it's lihin-lihin. and for work clothes, it's uran
I agree. I went to Cambodia and all ancient carvings show topless women . Go to PNG and they are virtually naked too. So why would Philippines be different?
I don’t remember where or when, but I once read that men and women wore earrings (and nose rings?).
Idk for nose rings but yes they both wore earrings, lots of piercings especially. They also stretched out their ear lobes
Yeah ancient women especially that of higher status wore earrings co- locally called Kasikas, it's prominent enough these earrings are supposed to sound that it's said to sway like wind chimes.
