    THE PEOPLING OF

    THE PHILIPPINES

    WINSTON M. PADRE
    Instructor
    • Archaeological finds in Palawan (e.g., Tabon Skull fragments)
    suggest that there were already prehistoric inhabitants in the
    Philippines as early as the Pleistocene period. Through carbon
    dating, the fossil remains were believed to be about 22,000 years
    old.
    THEORIES
    • The work of Gaillard and Mallari (2004)

    • Multiple Homeland Hypothesis proposed by Bayer

    • Melanesian Homeland Hypothesis (cited in the work of Dren)

    • The Unique South China Sea Homeland Hypothesis proposed by Solheim

    • The last theory, which is the Unique Mainland Southeastern China


    Hypothesis
    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
    OF THE PHILIPPINES
    • Although not accurate, the population estimate of indigenous
    peoples in the Philippines is 12 million. Many of them reside in the
    uplands, while some are in coastal villages (De Vera, 2007).

    • The number of the Philippines' indigenous peoples remains


    unknown, but it estimated to be between 10 per cent and 20
    per cent of the 102.9 million national population.
