• a.k.a. “cavemen” because they lived in caves; existed about 250,000 years ago
• They did not have any knowledge of agriculture, and lived by hunting and
“Dawnmen” fishing
• Reached the Philippines through the land bridges
• Existed about 30,000 years ago; they crossed the land bridged from Malaya,
Aetas/Negritoes Borneo, and Australia until they reached Palawan, Mindoro and Mindanao.
• Good at hunting, fishing and food gathering
• They were believed to have come from Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and the Malay
Peninsula more than 2,000 years ago. Like the Indonesians, they also traveled
Malays in boats.
• The Malays were brown-skinned and of medium height, with straight black hair
and flat nose
• Renowned Filipino anthropologist Felipe
Landa Jocano disputes Beyer’s belief
that Filipinos descended from Negritoes
and Malays who migrated to the
Philippines thousands of years ago.
According to Jocano, it is difficult to
prove that Negritoes were the first
inhabitants of this country. The only thing
that can positively concluded from fossil
evidence, he says is that the first men
who came to the Philippines also went to
New Guinea, Java, Borneo, and Australia.

Instead of the Migration Theory, Jocano advances the Evolution
Theory, as a better explanation of how our country was first inhabited
by human beings, Jocano believes that the first people of Southeast
Asia were products of a long process of evolution and migration. His
research indicates that they shared more or less the same culture,
beliefs, practices an even similar tools and implements. These people
eventually went their separate ways; some migrated to the Philippines,
the others to New Guinea, Java and Borneo. Proof, Jocano says, can
be found in the fossils discovered in different parts of Southeast Asia,
as well as the recorded migrations of other peoples from the Asian
mainland when history began to unfold.

ANITOISM
“In some places, and especially in the mountain districts, when the
father, mother, or other relative dies, the people unite in making a small
wooden idol, and preserve it. Accordingly there is a house which
contains one hundred or two hundred of these idols. These images also
are called anitos; for they say that when people die, they go to serve
the Batala. Therefore they make sacrifices to these anitos, offering
them food, wine, and gold ornaments; and request them to be
intercessors for them before the Batala, whom they regard as God.”
[Miguel de Loarca, “Relation of the Philippine Islands,” 1582, in Blair and Robertson 5: 173, 175]
