    Juan de Placencia wrote Customs of the Tagalogs in the late 16th century to describe the social hierarchies, traditions, and customs of Filipino tribes at the time. The document outlines the different social classes from datus to saguiguilir and describes aspects of daily life like housing, clothing, marriage practices, religion, economy, and language. As a Spanish Franciscan missionary, the author provides insights but may lack some cultural understanding of Filipino perspectives and traditions. The work provides valuable information for understanding the culture and history of indigenous peoples in the Philippines prior to Spanish colonization.

    Custombres de los Tagalogs

    Main Argument It talks about the social status from the datus to
    the saguiguilir the different customs that they do
    like the usual houses that they have the dressing
    that they wear the government that they have
    the religious belief that they follow

    Bias The author was not a filipino but he still wrote


    about the customs that filipinos have. Since the
    Author is not a filipino he didn’t explain it very
    well like how they do a certain wedding

    Importance in Understanding Philippine History It is important since it talks about our ancestors
    culture. On how they live from the past
