    Earliest hominin activity in the Philippine archipelago is dated back to at least 709,000 years ago.

    [1] Homo luzonensis, a


    species of archaic humans, was present on the island of Luzon at least 67,000 years ago.[2][3] The earliest known
    anatomically modern human was from Tabon Caves in Palawan dating about 47,000 years.[4] Negrito groups were the first
    inhabitants to settle in the prehistoric Philippines.[5] By around 3000 BC, seafaring Austronesians, who form the majority of
    the current population, migrated southward from Taiwan.[6]
    Scholars generally believe that these ethnic and social groups eventually developed into various settlements or polities with
    varying degrees of economic specialization, social stratification, and political organization.[7] Some of these settlements
    (mostly those located on major river deltas) achieved such a scale of social complexity that some scholars believe they should
    be considered early states.[8] This includes the predecessors of modern-day population centers such as Manila, Tondo,
    Pangasinan, Cebu, Panay, Bohol, Butuan, Cotabato, Lanao, Zamboanga and Sulu[9] as well as some polities, such as Ma-i,
    whose possible location is either Mindoro or Laguna.[10]
    These polities were either influenced by the Hindu-Buddhist[11] Indian religion, language, culture, literature and philosophy
    from India through many campaigns from India including the South-East Asia campaign of Rajendra Chola I,[12] Islam from
    Arabia, or were Sinified tributary states allied to China. These small maritime states flourished from the 1st millennium.[13]
    [14] These kingdoms traded with what are now called China, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The remainder
    of the settlements were independent barangays allied with one of the larger states. These small states alternated from being
    part of or being influenced by larger Asian empires like the Ming Dynasty, Majapahit and Brunei or rebelling and waging war
    against them.[15]
    The first recorded visit by Europeans is Ferdinand Magellan's expedition who landed in Homonhon Island, now part of
    Guiuan, Eastern Samar on March 17, 1521. They lost a battle against the army of Lapulapu, chief of Mactan, where Magellan
    was killed.[16][17][18] Spanish colonialism began with the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi's expedition on February 13,
    1565, from Mexico. He established the first permanent settlement in Cebu.[19] Much of the archipelago came under Spanish
    rule, creating the first unified political structure known as the Philippines. Spanish colonial rule saw the introduction of
    Christianity, the code of law, and the oldest modern university in Asia. The Philippines was ruled under the Mexico-based
    Viceroyalty of New Spain. After this, the colony was directly governed by Spain.
    Spanish rule ended in 1898 with Spain's defeat in the Spanish–American War. The Philippines then became a territory of the
    United States. U.S. forces suppressed a revolution led by Emilio Aguinaldo. The United States established the Insular
    Government to rule the Philippines. In 1907, the elected Philippine Assembly was set up with popular elections. The U.S.
    promised independence in the Jones Act.[20] The Philippine Commonwealth was established in 1935, as a 10-year interim
    step prior to full independence. However, in 1942 during World War II, Japan occupied the Philippines. The U.S. military
    overpowered the Japanese in 1945. The Treaty of Manila in 1946 established the independent Philippine Republic.
