've noticed quite a few posts about the era of pre-Spain, and some of them denote to be quite negative ( I won't name who but I think you all know who I'm referring too). So I very recently created a sub-reddit that goes over that specific subject for those that are interested or passionate about it as I am. I have seen many knowledgeable posts by @McDreamyMD about this subject and would welcome any one who is interested about the Pre-colonial Philippines.
Those that might want to talk about this subject is welcome aboard! @Selurong @ashkenaz @PimpMasterPro23https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientPhilippines/
Although I must admit, time isn't exactly on my side as Electrical Engineering has taken most of it, Verilog isn't exactly the easiest thing to do when you have to play catch up with learning sequential circuit timing and verilog syntax. So, I encourage some of you who do have the time to possibly be a strong part of this subreddit as a means to discover and create theories (and possibly even facts) on the many unknown things that may or may not of happened during the Ancient Philippines
I find Austronesian history very mystical due to the scant history of it. And to me, what I cannot know easily is precious knowledge. I always found Austronesian history far more interesting to me than my Semitic history, that is why I study Filipino and Indonesian histories (and Polynesians too) very closely.
I always wondered what Austronesians in the Philippine Islands during 1000 BC were doing. What were Proto Filipino Austronesians doing while Jews in Babylon were writing the bible? I always wanted to know.
That is why Pre Hispanic Filipino History has high value.
