The Precolonial Kingdoms

So, after Spain, why should I not pass with the Philippines before Spain conquered us.

Basically the Kingdom of Maynila is a relatively new kingdom in the Island of Luzon in 1571. Bisayas has not heard of it yet. But in Luzon, the precursor of the Kingdom of Maynila or the earliest Kingdom of Luzon is the Namayan Kingdom which held the capital at Maysapan, in the site of modern Sta. Ana. The kingdom at its peak reached the area of Taguig. With the decline of Namayan influence in Luzon came the rise of the Kingdom of Tondo, situated strategically in the land where the Manila Bay and the Pasig River meet, it established relations with China and is a thriving trade depot that time. Actually Tondo is in existence in much earlier time as proven by the Laguna Copperplate Inscription. The Bornean Kings, contesting the feared Tondo Monopoly on the China Trade. They established a Kingdom in the South of Tondo, where is was named Seludong, the name for Manila as narrated by the histories of the Tausug and Malay Royal Families. That is why the Visayas of Magellans Time did not know much of Maynila then, it was a new entity back them.

The very first states of Mindanao is connected to the other states of the Bornean Kings, we have the still existent Sultanates of Sulu and Maguindanao. There is a conferedation for the Lanao and the Kingdom of Butuan. Though ruled by Ilamic Kings, the majority of the population is still not Muslim.
