    The pre-colonial Philippine society was organized into barangays, which were small self-governing communities led by a datu or chief. Each barangay had a council of elders that assisted the datu with judicial and legislative duties. Society was stratified, with nobles, freemen, and serfs & slaves. Disputes were settled publicly through trials by ordeal to promptly determine guilt or innocence.
