    The Philippines had strong trade connections with neighboring Southeast Asian countries before the arrival of Spanish colonizers in the 16th century. Various archaeological evidence, such as Chinese porcelain from the 12th century found in the Philippines, demonstrates that the region actively engaged in trade. Powerful datus or local chieftains financed and facilitated trade, and profited greatly from these economic activities. Warfare sometimes occurred between polities as a means to avenge conflicts or acquire additional power, wealth, and slaves. Tribute systems also developed where local rulers would pay tribute to more powerful entities in China in order to legitimize and safely conduct trade.

    The Philippines in Maritime Asia to the Fourteenth Century 

     
    ● The Philippines did not exist as much as the 10th​ century, or even the 
    ​

    precolonial stage before the Spaniards arrived. We share more cultural 


    traits with our southeast Asian neighbors at the time 
     
    Part III. Trade, Tribute and Warfare in a regional context

    Our ancient predecessors are focused on their own group and village and the
    connection was strong. The family has a strong bond and this connection is shared with the
    community

    Trade

    - There are many evidences that can prove that we have a healthy trade even before the Spain
    took over. The excavation of Chinese porcelain from the 12​th​ century can prove that we are very
    much develop in our own terms.

    As a coastal settlement we are a good place to do business with. Those who controlled the
    trade grew in material wealth and status. Obviously the datus are the one financing these trade

    The settlements grew and the datus project their power by going to warfare. The powerful Chief
    dominated the weaker states. That is how they acquire power and wealth including slaves.
    Common reason for going to war is avenging and abduction. Alliances were formed through
    marriage and friendship means more warrior to attack mutual enemies.

    Tribute

    Tribute is the only legal and safe way to do trade with China. Our connection with China started
    during the Tang dynasty(618-907) where trade was legitimate only as an aspect of the formal
    relation between rulers. A tribute is a symbolic acceptance to have an opportunity to do trade in
    a larger port. This has strengthen political ties as well
    Bonus : great development in trade caused expansion and malays from Brunei and northern
    Borneo first settled in Tundu( present day Metro Manila), wherein we have adapted their
    customs and language.

    Early Legal Document

    In 1986 an inscribed copper plate measuring about 8x12 inches was found in laguna. It was
    carbon dated at 900 c.e. making it the oldest document found in the archipelago to date. This
    copperplate affirms the existence of a structured political system.Wherein a chief clears a debt
    after a man of status died , hence freeing his family and bloodline of all debts as well.

    The Philippines in early times has less-populated and less centralized polities than other parts
    of Southeast Asia but was of same political realm. The barangays are connected through
    networks but still maintain a high sense of locality. We can see state formation an kinship ,
    practices , religious beliefs and system of socioeconomic status and dependency . Trade
    resulted in growing population , political innovation and concentration of political power . these
    developments will greatly accelerate in the 14​th​ century
