Of course my ancestors are a civilized people at that time. The people are governed by city- states call balangay. We already have our code of laws. chinese, indians, arabs, and other malays are trading with them. south Philippines already embraced islam, a major religion, while the north and middle philippines is just starting in Islam until the ignorance of the european colonizers about the term "civilization'' came in.

there is evidence that the Philippines were "civilized" prior to colonization...keep in mind this was in the 16th century.

Yup, we were already experimenting with gunpowder and were using bronze cannons as weapons. This is something omitted from history books.
