    The document discusses three alleged historical facts that were later proven to be hoaxes: 1) The Code of Kalantiaw, claimed to be a set of ancient laws from 1433, was fabricated and its existence cannot be historically verified. 2) While Ferdinand Magellan reached the Philippines in 1521, the archipelago was not discovered then but had been inhabited for over 40,000 years. 3) The story of Princess Urduja of Pangasinan first appeared much later and is considered a myth rather than an actual historic figure, according to historians who found no documentation of her existence.

    Urduja is just a hoax. Xiao Chua explained that “Si Princess Urduja pala ay
    based sa isang legend. Hindi siya nag-e-exist talaga, ang history kasi nakabatay
    sa documentation. So, walang documentation about the existence of Princess
    Urduja.” (GMA network, 2015)

    Pinoys because: “Hanggang ngayon makikita natin na bahagi pa rin si Urduja
    ng [ating] kasaysayan. Among professional historians, she is considered not a
    hoax but a myth. Such as the kingdom of Tawalisi that did not even exist here in
    the Philippines,” said Dr. Victor Torres. (GMA network, 2015)
