About 25,000 B.C.

The ancestors of the Philippines' aboriginal inhabitants—the Negritos or Aeta—come from the Asian mainland, crossing shallow seas
and land bridges. (Archaeological evidence suggests that the Philippines may have been inhabited many thousands of years before
then, but that can't be stated with certainty. The oldest human fossil found so far is 22,000 years old.)

Describe the region in which they
lived
•
•
Water sources: Are very limited
there they have to get it from fresh
water hot springs.
Terrain: The Philippines are chiefly
of volcanic origin. Most of the
larger islands have mountain
ranges, with Mt. Apo which is
(9,690 ft/2,954 m), on Mindanao,
the highest peak. Narrow coastal
plains, wide valleys, volcanoes,
dense forests, and mineral and
hot springs make the larger
islands. Earthquakes are
common. Rivers, Cagayan, and
the Luzon, is the largest; there are
also large lakes on Luzon and
Mindanao.
List of Digs in the Region
• They find old boats in the picture they
found a canoe and they found a shell
necklace and a bead one. They also found
a shell scoop.
What The People Looked Like
•
It may be said that the
Filipinos are intelligent,
with retentive memory,
quick perception, and
talents for art and
science. They also are
gentle, friendly, and
cheerful people, noted for
their courtesy and
hospitality.
How They Arrived At That Location
• They came by boats and walked from the
Asian mainland. Then the Spanish came
on boats too.
Animals That They Lived With
• Some crocodiles that
live there are very
dangerous but they
don’t care because
they eat them to live.
• These little things
just hang in the trees
and little children
sometimes keep them
as pets. They are
called a Tarsier.
Role of Men
• Men’s role: Is to grow food that is what
their role is, to take care of their family by
putting food on the table.
Role of Women
• Women’s role: Their role as a mom is
taking care of the homes and the kids.
Like being a stay at home mom.
What They Ate and How They Got
It
• Usually they got their food by farming,
gathering, and growing their food in the
province.
Tools They Used
• This tool is to cut trees down it is almost
like a chisel but for trees. This sling shot
and the arrows.
Skills or Art
• All these art things represents their culture

pictures, they do thumb pottery.
How They Dressed
• I would say that they really have decent
clothes that their not that bad.
The Work They Did
• Men fish and farm and women take care of the
home and take care of their kids. Also
themselves.
Their Religion
•
Roman Catholicism is professed by over 80% of the
population; 5% are Aglipayans, members of the
Philippine Independent Church, a nationalistic offshoot of
Catholicism (see Aglipay, Gregorio); 5% are Muslims
(concentrated on Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago;
see Moros); and 4% are Protestants.
Their Language
• Some 70 native languages are spoken in the
Philippines. The official national language is
Pilipino, a form of Tagalog. A considerable
number of Filipinos speak English, the nation's
second language.
Their Writing
• You know their
writing is just the
same as English but
sometimes they will
add Tita or Tito which
means Aunt and
Uncle.
Their Daily Life
• Philippine people are really hard working
people. Filipinos are famous not only for
their warm hospitality, but also for their
close family ties. The parents work hard
and sacrifice much for their children; in
return, the children love and respect them
and take good care of them in their old
age.
