The 

lantaka (also known as kanyon in Tagalog) were a type of bronze

swivel gun mounted on merchant vessel travelling the waterways of
Malay Archipelago. Lantakas have been around since the 1300s and
have not changed in 600 years;

Its use was greatest in precolonial South East Asia especially

in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The guns were used to
defend against pirates demanding tribute for the local chief, or potentate.
Although most lantaka weighed under two hundred pounds, and many
only a few pounds, the largest ones exceeded a thousand pounds, and
some weighed over a ton. Many of these guns were mounted on swivels
and were known as swivel guns. The smaller ones could be mounted
almost anywhere including in the rigging. Medium-sized cannon were
frequently used in reinforced sockets on the vessel's rails and were
sometimes referred to as rail guns. The heaviest swivel guns were
mounted on modified gun carriages to make them more portable. High
quality metal casting, artillery, and other metal works had been
traditions throughout the ancient Philippines. The metal smith,
or panday piray of Pampanga was skilled at making weapons, and many
individuals with the surnames Viray and Piray are said to be descendants
of people who were once members of the guild of smiths who followed
the tradition of the panday pira. Ancient peoples used small arquebuses,
or portable cannons made up of bronze. Larger cannons, on the other
hand, were made of iron and resembling culverins provided heavier
firepower. The iron cannon at Rajah Sulaiman 's house was about 17 feet
long and was made from clay and wax moulds.

The Kudyapi (made between 1940-1950) is a Philippine two-stringed,

fretted boat-lute. It is the only stringed instrument among the people
of Visayas and Mindanao, and one of several among other groups such
as the Maranao and Manobo. It is four to six feet long with
nine frets made of hardened beeswax. The instrument is carved out of
solid soft wood such as that from the jackfruit tree. The kudyapi has
been found among groups such as the Visayans whose prevalence just
like the kubing and other musical instruments are and/or were found in
other parts of the Philippines.
