FORWARD By Dan Inosanto: I am honored to have been asked to write this forward for my long time student and friend Bud Thompson. I first met Bud, a former body builder, at his Hollywood Natural Foods store, in 1965. I along with my instructor Bruce Lee would frequent the Hollywood book stores for our research on martial arts, and we would stop in to see” Buddy “for the latest on nutritional supplements. When I opened the Kali/Chinese Gung Fu Academy in Torrance California in 1974 Bud was there to train and has been with me ever since, Actively training at the Kali Academy and following me to the IMB Academy(Inosanto-Martinez-Bustillo),now International Martial Art and Boxing Academy in Torrance. Bud opened up his school the Kali Academy of Mixed Martial Arts in 1989 and he is still going strong. As my oldest student (Bud is even older than me!), he has never ceased to grow in his love and dedication to the arts. As a student his loyalty and dedication is exemplary. Perhaps his greatest attribute, as a martial artist is open mind, continuing to honor the art and training of the past coupled with his enthusiasm for embracing what is new and innovative. Bud is a true example of one who continues to absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is specifically his own for himself and his students. Bud knows that change is necessary so that his students can adapt to the ever changing times and situations. It has always been my wish that my instructors continue to grow in knowledge and wisdom and become creative in their own right. Bud Thompson is a great example of this. Bud’s students will benefit from his years of training and teaching not only by studying with him at his academy, but by reading his new manual, which will enhance their skill and knowledge and aid them on their own path. Dan Inosanto Founder & Head Instructor The Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts Marina Del Rey, California USA

INTRODUCTION

This manual is a guide and supplement hand book for instructors of the Kali Academy of Mixed Martial Arts • Jun Fan • Gung Fu Institute. It is for the support of the instructor in the various martial arts taught at this academy, and in his or her endeavor to pass on the knowledge to future generations. The information in this manual is to be taken serious with honor and respect and not to become common knowledge. “To achieve positive results one must become a positive person” It’s not just the speed and power in combat but the skill, sensitivity, and control that is most effective, speed and power may lessen with advancing age; sensitivity, control and knowledge will last you for a life time. “One should never be down on, what one is not up on.” and the most difficult of obstacles you will ever face in your life lies within yourself. It is my wish that the instructor will continue to grow in knowledge and become creative in his or her own right. The instructor has been granted the right to change anything he or she has been taught in order to benefit his or her own needs and the needs of the students, as he or she sees fit to change. Change is necessary so that the practitioner can adapt to the ever changing times and situations. Special thanks to Sifu/Guro Dan Inosanto for contributing to the publication of this manual…………………..

Kali is the native art of the Philippines, It consists of both weapons and bare hand skills. The Art Mainly Uses Synchronized Stick Training Drills Along With Body Angling And Fluid Movement, Gearing A Person Toward Better Hand And Eye Coordination And Being Stable In Almost Any Position During Confrontation, Along With Phasing Out The Factor Of Fear Associated With Being Confronted With A Weapon. While it may seem that this art is more of a man’s art that is deceiving a thought. Due To the Timing, Balance, And Rhythm Involved a woman has just as much of a chance of becoming proficient at this as she has of becoming a proficient dancer. Along with all the great stories of the Philippines, the blind Princess Josephine stands out. Because no one could beat her in a fight, she would always lead her warriors into battle. It is said among Eskrimadors that “By Understanding the Weapon First, You Come To Know the Bare Hand”. There are an uncountable number of styles in the Philippines among them, there are known by other names such as Arnis De Mano, Arnis Lanada, Eskrima, Sikaran, Silat, Kuntao, Kalibadman, Kalirongan, Pagkkalikali, and Tjakalele also described as Indonesian fencing. Each style having methods and synchronized techniques to set it apart from another, Yet All BeingTogether By A Common Thread, Concentrating On The Basic Angles Of Attack. We encourage a person to experiment with all the concepts and principles of as many systems as possible. This type of liberal attitude is what makes a free-thinking individual. One Who Make a Style Their Own, and who use their wits and instincts to the best of their ability. To quote the late Bruce Lee who advanced this concept beyond anybody else “A Style Should Never Be Like A Bible In Which The Principles And Laws Can Never Be Violated”.

LACOSTE SALUTATION

I present myself to the creator and to mankind on earth I am striving for the knowledge of the third eye of the five senses and beyond the five senses I am striving for the love of all mankind and there will be no shedding of the blood I bow down to you not in submission but in respect to you I extend the hand of friendship because I prefer it over the hand of war, but if my friendship be rejected, I am trained to be a warrior with wisdom I stand in symbolism because I serve only The Creator, my family and my country I cherish the knowledge given to me by my instructors, for it is my very life in combat I am prepared to go against you even through your skill may be greater than mine Because even if my physical body should fall before you to the earth I am not worried because I know my spirit will rise again as it is unconquerable

25

VILLABRILLE SALUTATION

O heavenly spirit, forgive me for my faults and weaknesses,

And in your mercy and kindness bless me with the spirit

That will give me the guidance, strength and power

For a strong mind and body so I may develop to be a good

Disciple of Kali.....

THE MOSLEMS OF THE SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES (MOROS)

As seafarers, this branch of the Oceanic_Malay has no superior. They carried the cargo of that early day. The famous Venetian traveler, Eben Wahab, wrote about them in 898 in the city of Confu in China, which was the gathering place of southeastern traders. Arabian geographers of the 10th century mention them and their trade in spices. The Phoenician sailed the Mediterranean. The Oceanic-Malay voyaged the wide Pacific from Africa to the Easter Island, from China to the coral seas of the south. The wanderings of these early Malays were remarkable achievements of navigation. The reading of the stars was known to them, as was the making of charts. That these voyages took place at an early date is suggested by the fact that as early as BC 2300 the Chinese had charted the heavens to pave the way for the navigator. The Arabic “Book of Miracles” describes a voyage of three hundred ships made to Madagascar in 945. Strong evidence shows that the African coast was reached at this early date.

The Malay had sailed over a region approximating 2/3 of the circumference of the earth as early as the 9th century. From the Malay sailors Marco Polo learned of Zanzibar, Madagascar, and Abyssinia, carrying back to Europe geographical knowledge the absorption of which was far beyond the capacity of European nations of that period. There also appears faint evidence that the praos of the Malay reached the coast of America. His heritage as a sailor retained for himself the reputation of producing the greatest pirates of all history.

The southern region of the Philippines is one of the oldest battlegrounds in the world. The unconquerable Moros were beset upon all sides by land grabbing aggressors. Men of all creeds and colors have scrambled for a foothold in the southern Philippines—from India, Ceylon, Borneo, Celebes, Java, China, Japan, Portugal, France, Spain, Holland and England. Their bones moulder there and only the spirits of intrepid adventurers remain. They reckoned not on the courage of the defenders of this soil. During the period of the European expansion and colonization of Asia, the southern Philippines remained unconquered. They successfully defended their island empire from a period a century before 1 AD until their power was finally broken by the dismounted cavalrymen of United States at the battle of Bud Bagsak in 1913.

BRUCE LEE PHILOSOPHY

“Abandon all the martial arts you have learned… yet not really abandoning them. In a well not dug, in the water not filling it, a shadow is reflected; a man with no form, no shadow is drawing water from this well. A man with no form, no shadow, turns into a rice pounder when he pounds rice.”

Bruce Lee It was Bruce’s habit to forever expound the advantages and disadvantages of the various combat styles… none were overlooked. He counseled his disciples not to think in terms of East vs. West, Chinese vs. Japanese, Okinawan vs. Korean, Karate vs. Judo, boxing vs. wrestling, Aikido vs. other Jiu-Jitsu styles, Thai boxing vs. Burmese boxing, Filipino fencing vs. Western fencing, etc. for the purpose of determining which was better; but, rather. To examine each method individually, find its pluses and minuses, then inquire of ourselves, “When will this work for me?” In other words, if I have two weapons, a hand grenade and a knife, and someone asks which is superior, I’d reply, “It depends.” If the enemy is fifty yards away… I’d heave the grenade. If we were in a phone booth, I’d be better off with the shorter weapon. Methods of combat also have their range of efficiency.

QUOTATIONS “IT MATTERS NOT WHAT SYSTEM YOU HAVE STUDIED. TRUE OBSERVATION BEGINS WHEN DEVOID OF SET PATTERNS AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION OCCURS, WHEN ONE IS BEYOND STYLES, METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND ORGANIZATIONS.”

BRUCE LEE “THE WORD ‘MASTER’ DENOTES A SLAVE AND STYLE MANIFESTS ITSELF IN NARROW HORIZONS AND BONDAGE. IT IS ONLY WHEN MASTER AND STYLE ARE TRANSCENDED THAT TRUE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSIONS BEGINS.”

JAMES LEE

TO FULLY UNDERSTAND, ONE MUST TRANSCEND THE DUALITY OF “FOR” AND “AGAINST” INTO ONE ORGANIC WHOLE. A GOOD MARTIAL ARTIST RESTS IN DIRECT INTUITION.

MOST STYLES GIVE PARTIAL TRUTHS, NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY ARE. THIS PARTIAL TRUTH BECOMES A SECT, A LAW, OR WORSE STILL A PREJUDICIAL FAITH. EVENTUALLY IN ORDER TO PASS ALONG THIS “KNOWLEDGE” FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, VARIOUS RESPONSES AND MY OWN NATURAL TENDENCIES HAVE BEEN TO ORGANIZE AND CLASSIFY MATERIAL AND PRESENT IT IN A LOGICAL ORDER TO MY STUDENTS. SO WHAT MIGHT HAVE STARTED OFF AS SOME SORT OF PERSON FLUIDITY OF ITS FOUNDER IS NOW SOLIDIFIED KNOWLEDGE, PACKAGED FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION AS WELL AS MASS INDOCTRINATION. SINCE YOU ARE A CREATING INDIVIDUAL, YOU ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY EXISTING STYLE OR SYSTEM DEVISED BY ANY MARTIAL ART MASTER OR NATION OR GROUP. KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM DISCOVERING THE CAUSE OF YOUR IGNORANCE. PROBLEM SOLVING JOINED WITH DIRECT INTUITION GIVES US THE WISDOM FOR THE USAGE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE.

129

“ABANDON ALL THE MARTIAL ARTS YOU HAVE LEARNED… YET NOT REALLY ABANDONING, THEM. IN A WELL NOT DUG, IN THE WATER NOT FILLING, A SHADOW IS REFLECTED; AND A MAN WITH NO FORM, NO SHADOW IS DRAWING WATER FROM THE WELL. A MAN WITH NO FORM, NO SHADOW, TURNS INTO A RICE POWDER WHEN HE POUNDS RICE.”

BRUCE LEE

IT WAS BRUCE’S HABIT TO FOREVER EXPOUND THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE VARIOUS COMBAT STYLES… NONE WERE OVERLOOKED. HE COUNSELED HIS DISCIPLES NOT TO THINK IN TERMS OF EAST VS. WEST, CHINESE VS. JAPANESE, OKINAWAN VS. KOREAN, KARATE VS. JUDO, BOXING VS. WRESTLING, AIKIDO VS. OTHER JIU-JITSU STYLES, THAI BOXING VS. BURMESE BOXING, FILIPINO FENCING VS. WESTERN FENCING, ETC. FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHICH WAS BETTER; BUT. RATHER. TO EXAMINE EACH METHOD INDIVIDUALLY, FIND ITS PLUSES AND MINUSES, AND THEN INQUIRE OF OURSELVES, “WHEN WILL THIS WORK FOR ME?” IN OTHER WORDS, IF I HAVE TWO WEAPONS, A HAND GRENADE AND A KNIFE, AND SOMEONE ASKS WHICH IS SUPERIOR, I’D REPLY, “IT DEPENDS.” IF THE ENEMY IS FIFTY YARDS AWAY… I’D HEAVE THE GRENADE. IF WE WERE IN A PHONE BOOTH, I’D BE BETTER OFF WITH THE SHORTER WEAPON. METHODS OF COMBAT ALSO HAVE THEIR RANGE OF EFFICIENCY.

What is learning? A journey and process, not a destination

and conclusion. What is an instructor? A guide, not a guard or dictator. What is a discovery? A constant process of questioning the answers, not answering the question. What is the goal? Open minds so that you can “be” not Closed achieve the goal. What is the test? Being and becoming, not just . remembering and reviewing What do we teach? Individuals; not lessons, not styles, not systems and not methods or techniques. What is the school? Whatever we choose to make it. Where is the school? Wherever we are

WHAT IS?

136

“THE TRUTH IN COMBAT IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH INDIVDUAL”

1. RESEARCH YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE 2. ABSORB WHAT IS USEFUL 3. REJECT WHAT IS USELESS 4. ADD WHAT IS SPECIFICALLY YOUR OWN

137

“IT HAS BEEN STATED”

IT HAS BEEN STATED THAT “JEET KUNE DO” IS A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION AND NOT ACCUMULATION OF KNOWLEDGE BUT IT MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT THIS IS A PROCESS AND NOT A PRODUCT.

THE KEY WORD HERE IS “PROCESS.” YOU ARE CONSTANTLY, THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE ACCUMULATING AND THEN ELIMINATING WHAT IS USEFUL AND NOT USEFUL IN YOUR LIFE.

The goddess is full breasted, naked and standing on one foot. Her other leg bends at the knee, with the sole of her foot resting on the other knee of the supporting leg. Both ankles have several anklets enriching each. Kali’s dark hair is bejeweled and piled on top of her head. The top of Kali’s coiffeur culminates with three spires, the center most being the highest. Her tongue fully extends from her mouth, with teeth bared. She wears a garland of skulls around her neck, dangling bracelets on her wrists and a slave bracelet around each bicep. A drooping belt of severed hands encircles her narrow waist. Four arms extend two from each shoulder, with her hands holding a kamagon (battle stick), sword or a knife, shield, a strangling noose or a severed hand of a giant. An empty hand extends forward, palm out. Kali, in Sanskrit means “black” and sources describe the goddess Kali as a black faced demon with blood smeared all over her face. They also state the paintings and sculptures show Kali’ stepping prone figure of consort, Shiva. The Hindu meaning for the Kali is a devouring destructive goddess who is blood thirsty.

KALI EMBLEMS

When Dan Inosanto studied the Filipino martial arts, he noticed that each Kali system had its own particular emblem or school patch. Although each design was slightly different, they all had common elements. The circle, triangle, and one or more weapons appeared in just about all school emblems. Dan developed his emblem to take into account the history, religion, and cultural diversity of the Filipino people. He intended the symbols to represent the development of Kali from the early 1500’s until the present time. Initially the design incorporated the “all seeing eye” of God. The eye, and now the circle, represents the omnipresent (present in all places at all times), omnipotent (a force of unlimited power & authority, omniscient (having infinite awareness, understanding, & insight possessed of universal or complete knowledge), and omnificent (unlimited & creative power) of the Creator. The emblem also had the Roman numeral XXV representing the 25 Kali systems Dan had studied at that time.

The circle represents Diyos (the Creator). The two apparent triangles Depicted are the outside triangle representing the external Kali system. Hidden within these triangles, or symbolized by them, are other triangles representing the numerous concepts, strategies, and moral values of the warrior.

ANCIENT KALI SCRIPT

HISTORY OF PHILIPPINES #1

Filipinos are recognized for their skill in martial conflict, particularly in the use of bladed weaponry. This reputation defines both modern martial artists and warriors of past centuries. Current Filipino systems represent an accumulated wealth of knowledge and experience passed down by those who first struggled to reach the islands and then battled to maintain recognition, land, or independence.

The Philippines is a large archipelago or group of islands located in the Pacific Ocean. The islands were known as the Maharlikas prior to the coming of the Portuguese and Spanish in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Philippine Islands lie on a Sundra Shelf, approximately 500 miles east of the coast of Southeast Asia. The Sundra platform is a stable continental platform and southward extension of the Southeast Asia mainland. In ancient history, the entire 690,000 square miles of Sundra Shelf was above sea level but now is mostly covered by shallow seas. Borneo and parts of Java, Sumatra, and associated islands are eroded metamorphic sections of the shelf which will still remain above sea level.

The Philippine Archipelago is

surrounded to the north and west by th4e South China Sea; to the east is the Pacific Ocean, and south, the Celebes Sea. T he archipelago is approximately 1,150 miles long from north to south, and nearly 700 miles wide from east to west, and has a total area of 115,600 square miles. Its coastline totals 14,400 miles, and includes 20 harbors. The Philippine Islands are compromised of 7,000 islands, of which the corners are Celebes and the Molucca Islands to the south, Formosa to the north, and Borneo to the southwest. Seven of the Philippine Islands have an area of more than 1,000 square miles each, and contain the majority of the population. In order of size, from largest, they are Luzon, Mindanao, Leye, Cebu, Boho, and Masbate.

Borneo is considered one of the gr eat islands of the world. It is located southwest of the

Philippines, boundedc by the South China Sea to the northwest, and, clockwise, by the Sulu and Celebes seas, the Makassar Strait, and the Java Sea. Borneo lies southeast of the Malay Peninsula which juts out from the Malay Archipelago.

Borneo, and Palawan, which is a western Philippine island and the Blabak- Bugsuk, a group of small islands off the southern tip of Palawan, are the remains of a land bridge that connected them during the Pleistocene Epoch (1,600,000 to 10,000 years ago). Consequently Borneo’s flora and fauna are

more closely related to Palawan than to those of other islands in the Philippines

166

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #2 .

Ancient land bridges, evidence by the Sundra Shelf; Borneo and Palawan, make it reasonable to assume that early man may have used them to cross from mainland Southeast Asia to the Philippines. Determining exactly how the first man arrived in the Philippines, either by land bridge or across the ocean in sea worthy vessels, is debatable. Concurrently, pinpointing the exact racial origin of the first man to arrive in the Philippine islands remains open to theory. Nevertheless, pottery shards derivatives of ancestral languages geography and blood genetics all help researchers’ discover racial origins. Three races are each found in the insular projection of lands south of Asia and are revealed as the probable ancestors of the Pacific Islander: The Australoid, Veddoid, or Negritoid people. Research further narrows the earliest settlers top the Philippine Island as being of the Negritoid or Veddoid races. Blood group genetics support that Philippine Negritos descended from late Pleistocene peoples, called Proto Malays, who inhabited the island of Southeast Asia more then 30,000 years ago. It is theorized that these people with dark skin and sometimes frizzy hair, traveled by land from Central Asia. Perhaps the Negritos walked across the ancient land bridge. The Negritos are credited with bringing the pana (short bow) and later developed the long bow. Although some people have thought that African Negroid people originally related to the Proto Malays, blood group research does not support that theory. In addition to the Negritos, researchers have pointed to the curly hair Veddoid race as being among the early men to arrive in the Philippines. They are also Proto Malay, and were believed to have migrated to the islands of the Indonesia from mainland Asia, during the Neolithic Period (Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age) until about 1000 BC. The Veddoid were related to the Lakai, of the Malay Peninsula, and the Vedda of Ceylon, India. Some researchers’ state that the Veddoid features and preference to live on the Philippine mountain slopes tie them to the Mongol race. Inhabitants among the inland tribes of northern Mindoro, in the west central Philippines, are believed to have traces of the Veddoid. The first to arrive in the Philippines by boat were probably Indonesian sailors of the Veddoid race who have been described as tall, burly, sea-loving and fearless. Additionally, farm and fishing immigrants described as shorter, darker complexioned then the preceding Indo Aryan group would have been of the Negrito race. Research informs us that the Veddoid, Negrito and Austronesian races were all forerunners of the various Pacific Island tribes. Certainly immigrants continued to arrive in the Philippines in a series of migrations throughout the centuries. Some think that the first groups of the Malays to the Philippines were Austronesian. They would have been fro a Mongoloid race whose descendants were the pagan head hunting tribe of Igorots (also spelled Igorrotes). The Igorots were any of the various ethnic groups who lived in the mountains of northern Luzon. Subsequent Proto Malay (Indonesian) invaders usually settled on the outskirts of islands, while previous coastal Malays fled to other islands or moved inland. Some escaping inhabitants chose to seek isolation and maintain their culture. Others chose the converse and regardless of how relatively “pure” a race may have been originally, or which race arrived first, those who remained without evading invaders, ultimately intermarried and produced a racial blending.

Just as intermarriage produces a blending of races, so does it also result in a greater wealth of knowledge and culture. This held true regarding knowledge of martial arts. It would be absurd to assume that an individual left his country and abandoned his experience or knowledge of anything. Warrior arts

and skillful implantation thereof were vital for protection and preservation of an individual or group. Emigrants needed to be prepared for hostile encounters during travel and for their uncharted futures and would heavily rely on their marital arts.

167

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #3

Cultures who remained relatively isolated from others also exemplified a passion for the combat skills. They continued to refine and perfect their knowledge martial arts. The Philippines Islanders, whether assimilated or isolated, retained, developed and exemplified a highly developed level of martial skill. Their techniques and weaponry were undoubtedly a reflection of a people who valued, cultivated, and practiced these warrior arts. As waves of migrants arrived, former island residents could learn from, or practice against the newcomers. Its is estimated that around 3000 BC, more groups of Malays, from Indonesia and Malaysia, began settling in the Philippines. The area of the central Philippines where they initially arrived, is now call the Visayan (also, Bisayan) region. Chinese trades arrived adding to what would become a cultural mixture in the Philippines, as well as eventually all of the Pacific Islanders. They were known to have resided in the Philippines from approximately 1000 AD.

SHRIBIJAYA EMPIRE Shrivijava (also Srivijawa or Scrivishaya) tribes of Asian and Indian Hindus migrated into Indonesia and Malaysia during the 5th and 6th centuries. They began as a Hindu group, call the Brahins, who migrated from India and arrived in the Palembang, Sumatra around the fifth century. This Brahin group grew into one of the earliest of the great Asian empire and became the famous Hindu-Malayan Empire of Shrivijaya. Palembang served as its capital city from the 7th century until the kingdom was overthrown by the Hindu Majapahit Empire in the 14th century. Meanwhile, the Shrivijayan Empire flourished in the Malay Peninsula, western Java, and Sumatra through the 9th and the 13th centuries. Shrivijaya based its great power on successful commercial and maritime endeavors. It dominated international sea trade by controlling the Strait of Malacca and establishing trade with China and India. The Srivijayan Empire utilized a combined advantage that facilitated their ability to conquer. They possessed superior physical height, martial expertise, organization, and bladed weaponry. Balangay (sailboats arrived with the Malays of this new culture. Each Balangay contained a lager family group, or social unit, established a new settlement that sometimes grew to be 30 to 100 families. This family was labeled the barangay (village), or “boat village.” Barangay villages were the first to leave written records in the Philippines and remained relatively isolated from other barangays. The Srivijayan colonized Borneo, and then invaded further into the Philippine. Again, those who didn’t flee were eventually assimilated into the Srivijayan culture. The Taglogs, Ilocanos, Pampangos, Visayans, and Bicolarios all claim Srivijayan ancestry. The Vijayans are considered to be the second Malay invaders, and descendants from them were later, to become Christians during the Spanish occupation. The Shrivijayan’s influence was significant through the spreading of its cultural wealth. The religion of the Shrivijayans was Buddhism and Hinduism. They were endowed with knowledge of philosophy, art, seamanship and agriculture. Additionally, the Srivijayans were equppied with a calendar, a Sanskrit alphabet and the Maragtas Code (1250 AS) and the Code of Kalantlaw (also Kalantiyaw: 1433 AD) these codes were among the few written documents remaining from the pre-Spanish Philippine culture, and both were found on the Island of Panay. The Philippine Island fell into there division, geographically, and politically: 1) the northern region was the Luzon. 2) The central region, the Visayas; 3) the southern region, Mindanao. Panay is the farthest west of the Visayas. Its shape is somewhat triangular and covers an area of 4,446 square miles. It has a rugged mountain range paralleling its western coast. Between this range and a hilly eastern protiuon, a fertile plain extends for about 95 miles from the northern to the southern coasts. Deltas of the Jalaud, Jaro, and Sibalom rivers from broad lowland in the southeastern part of the Panay. There are many fishponds in the northern and eastern sections of the island. Current inhabitants of Panay are mostly Hiligaynon (Ilongo or Panayan) ethnolinguistic group, and nomadic Negritos both residing in the mountains.

168

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #4

KALI Many Filipinos believe that Panay was the birthplace of kali (kalian), the name for early combative arts within the Philippine Islands. Kali is a Sanskrit word which literally means black. Inherently, kali was an art for the preservation of life. It was the mode of combat used to protect an individual (kalitao/kaliman) his family, village, and culture. It was also a way of life that embodied philosophy, physical training, combative and restorative arts, literature, and religion. The kaliman confronted death, or the threat of death, as part of his daily life, until ultimately; he became released from its inherent fear. The importance of jail was emphasized in kaligayahau (happiness) and kalayon (freedom), words that denote both the spirit of kali and a kalitao’s perspective of the world. In his confrontation with the darker side of life, the kaliman came to view and live life devoid of false illusion, empty dreams, and anxiety regarding combat, old age or long term illness. He could live his life unencumbered from his fear of consequence. Today, Tuhon Leo Gaje expresses that this worldly view “engendered mutual respect among and a respect for life itself.” Therefore, the god of violence (Kali) was also one of respect and peace. The head of each family unit was a kalitao (kaliman) or martial artist who earned rank or title in accordance with his fighting skills, etc. The kalitao’s rank was signified by his kali (Bladed weapon). An individual’s blade would reveal his rank, locale (Barangay, region) and religious heritage (Hindu, Indonesian, or Moslem). Persons of greater status and authority wore respectively shorter blades, called danganan, indicating that their marital ability was superior to others. Although there are up to twenty five or more variations of Filipino bladed weapons, more common are the kris, balasiong, barong, hunong, kampilan, lahot, and utak. Kali was named differently, depending on the people and region of the Philippines to which it belonged. It was 1) Pananandata to the Tagalogs, 2) Kalirongan to the Pangasinenses, 3) Didya or Kabaraon to the Ilocanos, 4) Kaliradman or Pagaradman to the Visayans, 5) Sinawalli to the Pampaguenos, and 6) Pagkalikali to the Ibanag. Each region had a master teacher, or tuhon, who commanded the most respect and honor from the people. He held the responsibility of passing on the culture of the Philippine Islanders to younger generations. The tuhon was the leader of a central community bothoan (school). The Filipino culture at that time included history, astronomy, engineering, medicine, and language, both oral and written. Languages differed among regions, and even now a number in excess of 300 major dialects, with Tagalog being the current national language. The highest in the political power system of the Visayan, central region of the Philippines was a sultan (Moslem for ruler of a country). He ruled over all the Barangay (village) datus (chiefs). The predominantly Islamic region of the Philippine islands, Mindanao, had no larger governing political group. However, one researcher offered that some thought there may have been a time when three sultans the Philippines.

ANCIENT PHILIPPINE LAW

Philippine judges were consistently easier on first time delinquents, but more heavily penalized repeat offenders. Gregorio Araneta, a notable Filipino jurist stated, “These primitive laws could compare very favorably to those of the Greeks and Romans.”

Any judicial system calls for laws to be created for its society. Ancient Philippine law sanctioned the datu (chief) of each barangay (village) to make the local laws for his village. The datu could receive assistance from the elders. In instances of creating regional, confederate laws, a superior datu held that

power. The chief datu would assemble lower ranking datus in his home, brief them as to the need of a law and readily obtain their agreement. The new law would be put in writing and became effective immediately. A village crier would then travel throughout the barangays carrying and clanging a bell, while he called “umalahokan!” This noisy attention would assemble the villagers. The, the crier would announce the new law, and all subjects could beware. From that time on the law went into effect, and any person who violated it incurred its penalties

169

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #5

JUDICIAL PROCEDURE

Before the Spanish arrival, when the datus (rahahs), tuhons, and sultans were still in power, trials affecting either criminal or civil case were held in public. The judiciary process was comprised of a barangay court, consisting of datus, elders and the defendant who represented himself in the trial. The defendant was required to swear an oath, prior to stating his case. These oaths were taken very seriously and perjury was almost nonexistent.1 Examples of oaths included, “May the crocodile eat me.” “May I die if I should tell a lie!” “May the lightning strike me!” “May the sun kill me!” “May no woman love me!’ or “May the moon frown upon me!”

When two people were in opposition to each other in a trial, each being a litigant, the court

usually moved in favor of the litigant who presented the most proof. If the accused attempted to resist his sentence, “the judge made himself a party to the cause, and all of them (winning litigant and judge) at once attacked with full force the resisting party, and execution to the required amount was levied upon him.

If datus required mediation to resolve a disagreement among residents of different barangays, or among datus, themselves, then outside datus or elders would arbitrate the dispute. Usually, they were able to settle the dispute before tribal conflict between opposing barangays would occur, and avoid further distress or even war.

TRIAL BY ORDER According to ancient Philippine law, if proof remained insufficient regarding which accused person

was truly at fault, then the court would use a trial by ordeal to determine the guilty party. This was especially true regarding criminal cases. Religious belief supported the Philippine perspective that the gods would favor the innocent and condemn the guilty. The court would utilize three ordeals, or tasks, to which toe defendant(s) would submit, in order to determine the guilty party. They were 1) the river ordeal, 2) the boiling water ordeal, and 3) the candle ordeal.

The ordeals were reminiscent of trials used during the witch hunts of 1692 in Salem,

Massachusetts Bay Colony, in which 19 convicted “witches” were hanged 150 suspected “witches” were imprisoned. In both the Philippines and Massachusetts, the methods used were extremely unfair, but ended in a simple conclusion. The three Philippine ordeals were as follows: 1) The river ordeal involved forcing suspected persons into the river at spear point. The first suspect to surface was found “guilty.” 2) The boiling water ordeal demanded that each guilty party reach into a pot of boiling water to retrieve a stone from its depths. The person burned the most severe was determined to be the “guilty” one. 3) In the candle ordeal, each suspected person had a candle of equal dimension placed in front of him. The candles were lit and the person’s candle which burned down first, convicted him as “guilty.”

MARGATAS CODE Many Filipino Scholars and researchers agree that the Margatas Code2 was written in 1250 AD

by Datu Sumakwel, and is, therefore, also known as the “Sumakwel Code.”3 Datu Sumakwel was considered the oldest and wisest of the Borneo datus who colonized ancient Panay, and the same adjectives are used to describe his code.3 However, Datu Sumakwel chose to name code Margatas, which is Sanskrit for “Great People.” The full text of the Margatas Code is as follows: 1. Deliberate refusal to work in the fields or to plant anything for daily subsistence is a most serious crime which deserves severe penalty. a. The lazy person shall be arrested and sold to a rich family to serve as a slave and, as such, to learn the lesson of service and the value of work in the house and in the fields. b. Later, when he has been trained for work and has come to love it, he shall be restored to his family. The price paid for him shall be returned and he shall no longer be considered a slave, but a free man who has been regenerated and desires to live by the fruit of his labor

.

c. If much later it is found out that he has not reformed in any way and that he wastes his time in idleness, he shall be arrested again by the authorities and sent to the forest. He shall not be allowed to associate with the rest of the community because he is a bad example.

II. Robbery of any sort shall be punished severely. The fingers of the thief shall be cut off. III. Only those who can support a family or several families can get married more than once and have as many children as they can.

a. The poor family cannot have more than two children because it cannot support and properly bring up in the community a greater number of children. b. The children who cannot be supported by their parents shall be killed and thrown into the river.

IV. If a man has had a child by a woman and he runs away from her because he does not want to marry her, his child by this woman shall be killed because it is difficult for a woman without a husband to support a child. a. The parents of the woman shall disinherit her. b. The village authorities shall look for the man, and when they catch him and he still

refuses to marry, he shall be executed before the child of the woman he has abandoned. Father and child shall be buried in the same grave.

THE CODE OF KALANTIAW The penal Code of Kalantiaw (also Kalantiyaw) was one of the few written documents to survive from the pre-Spanish Philippine culture. It was apparently written in 1433 by Rajah Kalantiaw, third chief of Panay, and then passed on to his overlord, Rajah Besar. It is the second oldest known written code of the Filipino people and was discovered on the island of Panay in 1614.4 The Code of Kalantiaw contained eighteen orders, the first of which was “Thou shall not kill.” It contained principles and values by which to live (or die) and listed punishments that were then considered appropriate for moral or social disobedience. A Spanish priest, Father Plasencisa, wrote that the early judges of the Philippine Islanders “received testimony orally from both sides,, under oath, according to their usage, which was swearing by the crocodile, the sun, the moon, and many other things by which they swore.” Another Spanish document supported Father Plasencia’s findings and added, “all islands have this (type of swearing of) oath(s) in common, a fact that I have noticed since our coming to his land.” A range of punishments, depending on the violation, included light fines, up to being cut into pieces and thrown to crocodiles. Breaches of ancient Philippine religious beliefs resulted in many violations. These included singing during night walks, killing white monkeys, and cutting sacred trees. The latter explained why the superstitious Philippine Islander of that day would respectfully say, “excuse me” even when urinating on a tree.

The full text of the Code of Kalantiaw is as follows: 1. Do not kill, nor steal, nor hurt the aged, for your life will be exposed to the danger of death. All those who violate this order will be drowned with a stone in the river or in boiling water. 2. See to it that all your debts to the chiefs are readily paid. He who fails to comply will be lashed with a whip one hundred times for the first offense. If the debt is large, the debtor’s hand must be immersed in boiling water three times. For the second offense. The debtor will be put to death by blows. 3. No one should marry very young girls nor marry more than he can take care of, nor be excessively lustful. He who disobeys this order for the first time will be compelled to swim for three hours. For the second offense, he will be put to death with the prongs of a spine.

4. Follow and obey: Do not disturb the graves in passing before them, wherever they may be, whether in caves or trees, show your respect for the dead. He who disobeys this order will be put to death by exposure to ants or be whipped to death with prongs.

5. Agreements for bartering food should be fulfilled to the letter. If one fails to comply with this order, he will be whipped for one hour. For the second offense, he will be placed among the ants for one day. 6. Respect holy places, such as trees of recognized worth and other spots. For the first offense, one will be fined the equivalent of one month’s labor in gold or in honey. For the second offense, the punishment is five years.

7. The death penalty will be imposed upon the following: Those who kill sacred trees; those who shoot arrows at night at old men and women; those who enter the homes of the chiefs without permission; those who kill sharks or striped crocodiles. 8. Slavery for one year will be the penalty for stealing the wives of chiefs; for keeping bad dogs who bite the chiefs; for setting on fire another’s crops.

9. To be beaten for two days: Those who wing in their night walks; those who kill birds known as “Manaul;” those who destroy the chiefs’ records; those who deceive with wicked intention; those who trifle with the dead. 10. It is the duty of the mother to instruct her daughters secretly in sex hygiene and prepare them for motherhood. Husbands should punish their wives if they catch them in adultery in flagranti. Whoever disobeys this order will be cut into pieces and the pieces thrown to the crocodiles. 11. The following will be burned alive: Those who, through force or cleverness, escape and evade punishment; those who kill too young children; those who try to steal the wives of old men. 12. The following will be drowned: The slaves who attack their chiefs or owners and masters; those who are lascivious; those who kill their idols by breaking them or throwing them away. 13. The following will be placed among ants for half a day: Those who kill black cats at the new moon; those who steal objects; however insignificant, from their chiefs and elders.

14. The following will be reduced to slavery for life: Those who refuse to marry off their beautiful daughters to sons of the chiefs or hide them in bad faith.

15. Regarding beliefs and superstitions. The following will be whipped; Those who eat the bad meat of sacred insects or useful herbs; those who injure or kill chickens of Manaul or white monkeys.

16. The fingers of the following will be cut off: Those who destroy idols made of wood or clay on their altars; those who break the pick used by priestesses for sacrificing pigs, or who break wine vessels. 17. The following will be put to death: Those who desecrate the places where idols and sacred objects pertaining to their gods and chiefs are found. Whoever does his necessities in these places will be burned. 18. Those who disobey the above orders, if they are elders, will be thrown into the river to be eaten by sharks and crocodiles.

Monteclaro in Iloilo, 1907. For an English translation, see Manual L. Carreon Margatas (Manila, 1943, typescript). 3 Guilliermo Sl Cuino, “El Codigo de Margatas.” El Debate. Manila, February 20, 1938. 4 The Kalantiaw Code was discovered in 1614 in the possession of a Filipino Chief of Panay, acquired by Marcelino Orfila of Saragoza, Spain, and translated into Spanish by Rafal Murviedo y Samanev. The first Spanish text of the code appeared in Father Jose Ma Mavon’s manuscript entitled Las Antiguas Leyendas de la Isla de Negros (written in Himalayan, Negros, 1837-1839). The first English translation was printed in James A. Robertson’s “Social Structure of and Ideas of Law Among Early Philippine Peoples,” M. Stephen and H.E. Bolton (editors). The Pacific Ocean in History, New York, 1917, pp. 182-191. See also Josue Soncuya, Historia Prehispana de la Isla de Panay (Manila 1917), pp. 27-28; Encarnacion Alzona, A History of Education in the Philippines 1565-1930 (Manila 1932), pp. 4-7 and Gregorio F. Zaide, Early Philippine History and Cuture (Manila, 1937), pp. 30-32. Note: Other historians dispute the ancient laws. They comment, “The Code of Kalantiaw, a well known code of laws supposedly given by Datu Kalantiaw of Aklan in 1433 is a clever hoax. The hoax was done by Jose E. Marco, and antique collector from Negros Occidental, who gave the document to James E. Robertson of the National Library in 1914. It could not be authentic because of its suspicious origin, the strange writing and modern words in the text, and the un-Filipino harshness of its laws (e.g. flogging, exposure to ants, swimming for hours).” The same holds for the Margatas Code, which was taken from the Margatas, a book where the legend of the Ten Datus of Borneo was taken, is only the imaginary creation of Pedro A. Monteclaro, a visayan public official and poet. He wrote the Margatas in 1907 based on folklore and oral tradition. Source of information “Philippine History and Government” by Gregorio F. Zaide and Sonia M. Zaide While the Srivijayans still had control in the Philippines, the Chinese made a significant impact on the culture during the 12th century. Even though Chinese traders had been trading in the Archipelago since 1000 AD, and some had taken residence in the islands, they immigrated by the thousands during the 12th century. This was due to the Manchurian invasion of China. Since this was not a first appearance to the islands of the Philippines, the Chinese were readily accepted into the culture and, significantly, added to the racial/cultural mix. The Chinese, following suit with previous cultures, introduced their kuntao martial arts of the Tang Dynasty. These, too, were blended into the Philippine system of martial arts.

MAJAPAHIT EMPIRE By the end of the 12th century, Shrivijaya shrunk in power, became a small kingdom, and the Javanese Majapahit kingdom rose in the 13th century. This Moslem (also Muslim) empire was founded by Vijaya, a prince of SIngsari, and was the last “Indianized” kingdom to rule in Indonesia. The Majapahit had its base in eastern Java, but spread throughout Southeast Asia, conquered Srivijaya and dominated Indonesia. The Majapahit people were greatly influenced by Aram Moslem missionaries and became known as a Moslem Empire. Majapahits arrived, as a third major wave of Malay invaders to the Philippine Islands. They and subsequent Mohammadean Malay invaders, chose mostly to reside in the southern region. From those Malays, descended the fierce Moros (Moslem/Islam) of the Philippine Islands. They were a proud culture who chose isolation, and still remain as a distinct culture. They too, as the Srivijayans before them, used the Sanskrit based writing system. The Majapahit zenithed in the 14th century under the leadership of King Hayam Wuruk and his prime minister, Rajah Mada. Researchers are not in agreement regarding Majapahit’s territory. Some say that during its peak, the empire included areas that are today Burma, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Madagascar. Others state that the Empire covered present day Indonesian and part of Malaysia. Still others claim that its territory was confined to eastern Java and Bali. Regardless, the Majapahit became a significant power and maintained intercourse with China, Cambodia, Annam (central Vietnam) and Siam (Thailand). The Majapahit Empire lasted until the early 16th century, when it was defeated by the Arab Moslem missionaries, who, earlier, had so heavily influenced their culture. Some theorize that perhaps the Moros would have conquered the Philippine Island, Had not the Spanish taken possession in 1565

KALI -THE GODDESS OF WAR

The martial system of kali cannot be considered a separate entity from its philosophy, religion, or historical aspect, as an object of worship, and of kali, the fighting art. Thus, it is important to study, both the historical and spiritual influence on the art. Philippine Islanders, from the 6th century through the 16th century, are believed to have worshipped the goddess of violence and death, Kali. The Goddess is full breasted, naked and standing on one foot. Her other leg bends at the knee, with the sole of its foot resting on the knee of her supporting leg. Both ankles have several anklets encircling each. Kali’s coiffeur culminates with three spires, the center most being the highest. Her tongue fully extends from her mouth, with teeth bared. She wears a garland of skulls around her neck, bangle bracelets on her wrists and a slave bracelet around each bicep. A drooping belt of severed hands encircles her narrow waist. Four arms extend, two from each shoulder, with her hands holding a kamagon (Battle stick), sword or knife, shield, a strangling noose, or a severed hand of a giant. An empty hand extends forward, palm out. Kali, in Sanskrit means ‘black: and sources describe the goddess, Kali, as a black faced demon with blood smeared all over her face. They also state tat paintings and sculpture show Kali stepping on the prone figure of her consort, Shiva. The Hindu meaning for the Kali, is a devouring destructive goddess who is bloodthirsty. This stems from an incident in her life in which she was called to kill Raktavija, a demon. Raktavija seemed immortal since he could instantly reproduce at the rate of 1000 clones per drop of blood that fell to the ground from his body. To circumvent this, Kali speared and held Raktavija aloft so she could drink his blood as it fell, and not one drop reached the earth. Indians honored the goddess, Kali, by daily sacrifice of goats at her temple in Jalighat, Calcutta. Also, assassins in India (also defined as thugs; sthaga, thag, thagi, thags, or thuggee), ritually offered their sacrificial victims to Kali. Ironically, however, the Philippine Islanders viewed Kali as a peaceful god. They and the Asian Indians, were able to rectify life’s apparent contradictions. Further illustration of this was that the Asian Indians believed their supreme goddess, Devi, revealed her multiple, contradictory personalities in other goddess forms. Kali is associated with another goddess, Durga (also a fierce aspect of the Devi), and represented the forms of her dark, terrifying, fierce side. Devi also took other forms in which she represented peace and tranquility.

174

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #10

More illustrations of the Indian Hindu religion folklore may shed light on the belief system of the Filipinos who shared this religious heritage. The following is from northern India where Shaivism/Shaktism is foremost. The people believe there is a great goddess, Mother Earth, who is married to an earth god, or the sun. The people annually celebrate her anniversary, the period of impurity, with a festivity devoid of routine agricultural duties. Then, during the harvest season, the people appease Mother Earth by engaging in orgiastic activities. Remote areas of central India identify Mother Earth as Devi, the supreme goddess most worshipped in northern India. Kali/Mari, again, is portrayed as the malevolent “Mother Death” form of Devi, “Mother Earth.” Then, the mountain dwellers of hilly, forested northern India make piles of stone s or tree branches. These piles are to honor mountains and forests personified as “mothers” to the believers. These rugged shrines are then left, and other believers leave offerings as they pass.

In east and northeast India, Shaivism is broadly popular, and Shaktism is common. There the people believe that a deceased relative will be re-born within one year, through a child born into the relative’s family. They believe that Sasthi (the sixth) is to be worshipped on the sixth day of a child’s birth, and is represented by placing a compost pile of manure or dirt in the birthing room. Sasthi is supposed to be the teaching god of young children and women in childbirth.

The east and northeast Indians additionally believe Candi to be a form of the fierce goddess Durga, who is (along with the goddess, Kali) the dark side of the supreme goddess, Devi. They believe that Candi resides in trees and is appeased by clumps of earth. Believers in Gaya, an Indian Bihar state, ward demons and ghosts away by holding a ceremony that honors their deceased.

The east and northeast Asian Indians also worship Manesa, a great mother snake goddess who resides in stone statues of her image seated on a snake and in the Manesa plant. In writings, it is she who is supposed to protect and bless travelers as they journey through life and during the rainy season when reptiles are most dangerous. Sanskrit writing and poetry also identifies Manesa with demonic snake characters.

The snake, especially the cobra, is also a sacred to most Asian Indians. Cobra statues and snake stones (nagalkals) are objects of worship and offerings in order to elicit protection from living snakes and blessings of rain and fertility. The snake stones are more popular with women desiring fertility. However most people, including every joint family of the Coorgs in Karnataka state have a guardian snake deity. Brahman priests served in small sanctuary or private garden ceremonies.

Vaishnavism is prevalent in western India where many lower caste people choose it as a way of life to fulfill the demands of existence, and aspirations towards salvation or social elevation. They do anticipate an ultimate reunion with their supreme god. Black magic, use of scapegoats and ritual nudity are components within their belief system. Mediums and exorcists use self torture to elicit divination, or the will of mother goddesses, and Brahman priests are present to conduct important functions.

Other regions or India, especially in the south, use devil dancing as a means of exorcising evil spirits. An outlawed method of appeasing gods to ward off evil was the hook swinging festival. Cadak-puja, and usually held in cases of famine or other calamities. This practice lasted into the twentieth century and involved swinging a man suspended by hooks that were attached to the end of a long pole. The man would be swung around in sacrificial pain, in the hopes of invoking the gods to end famine or other major catastrophes.

In many regions, especially in western India, where Vaishnavism is dominant, many believe that righteousness will improve their life in a subsequent world. In order to discover divine will, exorcists and mediums seek to be possessed by mother goddesses and submit themselves to self-torture. They are then called upon to prophesy about future events. In western India the worship of snakes is more prominent, with some temples even dedicated to the serpent. There is also widespread practices based on the belief in blaming others, ritual nudity, and black magic.

175

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #11 In peninsular India, Shaivism and devotional forms of Vaishnavism are primary. Each village

ascribes a shrine, or sacred place to honor the goddess Devi or her multiple, multipersonalitied forms. Many detailed stories sing praise of goddesses who protect from disease. These goddesses are relied on for daily needs and protection against infection of cholera and small pox for the villager and his cattle. The goddess, Mariyamma, particularly addresses smallpox resistance, and she presides over a large region of peninsular India. These goddesses are viewed as mothers who bestow all good of bad luck. They are personified in clay, sticks, or stone pillars, without regard to permanence, and worshipped with animal sacrifices. Other offerings may include rice, fruit, or flowers. They are offered daily, or whenever, since no calendar of festivals is imposed. Most shrines are rugged and simply made of small bricks, buildings, or stone flat areas beneath a tree. The priests (pujari) of these cults are not of the Brahman sect.

Male deities surface among these females. They are Shiva and Aiyanar. Shiva is the supreme male god, of all India, or general Hinduism. Shiva’s consort is Durga (name varies according to village, or temple) one of the fierce forms of Devi. AIyanar is the other male god, who is worshipped in Shiva temples and ranks higher than his complement goddesses, due to his vegetarianism. Aiyanar is believed to protect villages, act as their patron, and grant blessings, including the fruit of offspring. Fixed annual festivals were arranged for the male deity, or for exorcism of evil power and, generally, occurred during major agricultural seasons.

MAGELLAN’S VOYAGE The Philippines is the only nation in Southeast Asia that became subject to western colonialism

before it had the opportunity to develop an advanced elite culture or a central government that ruled over a large territory. Due to many invasions, the Philippine Islanders developed over centuries, martial arts prowess in accordance with their culture and heritage. The Moslem Moro Filipino skills made history when they were threatened by a Portuguese navigator, Ferdinand Magellan, in 1521.

History credits explorer Magellan with two firsts: 1) he was the first European to discover the Philippine Islands (April 7, 1521) and 2) he successfully circumnavigated the earth for Spain. This cursory glance at Magellan’s successes gives rise, historically, to a brilliant victory. However, personally, Magellan’s voyage was plagued with disaster and death, including his own.

Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan, was probably born in 1480 and served a military career under Emanuel, King of Portugal. Magellan’s assignments took hi to the East Indies in 1505. Then, from 1508-1512 he made exploratory missions to Sofala, Malacca, Java and the Moluccas (Spice Islands). In 1513, he was wounded and Lamed for life while serving a Moroccan assignment. However, Magellan’s disagreements with Emanuel, King of Portugal, caused Ferdinand to secede from his native country and adopt Spain as his homeland. Where Emanuel, King of Portugal, opposed Magellan’s vision to circumnavigate the earth and was unwilling to boost his salary, Charles I, King of Spain, shared and funded Magellan’s goal.

Under Spanish sail, Magellan’s fleet of five ships left Seville, Spain on September 20, 1519. Within two months they’d reached South America. By March of 1520, Magellan’s fleet arrived in Port Julian, near the southeastern tip of South America and remained almost six months. During that time, one of his ships was wrecked and his crew mutinied. Magellan was successful in quelling the mutiny, but as his fleet sailed into the Pacific Ocean through what is now the Strait of Magellan, another of his ships deserted. Magellan’s three remaining ships reached the Ladrones (Island of Thieves, later named Marianas) on March 5, 1521. However, many of his crew were weak and sick with scurvy.

Magellan’s fleet then anchored off Guam and was quickly approached by fast sailing, remarkably maneuverable outrigger canoes. These people were Micronesian people called Chamorros, who were tall, fair and good looking according to the Spanish explorers. However, when the Chamorros boarded one of Magellan’s ships, the Trinidad, they “stole” according to the Spaniard’s eyes, but believed themselves to be honest recipients as guests of the strangers. Nevertheless, Magellan was determined

to retrieve the more important item taken by the Chamorros, the ship’s long boat. So with armor and crossbows they regained their boat. Magellan then ordered the vengeful burning of forty or fifty houses in a small local village and killed seven inhabitants. Afterward, Magellan’s fleet set sail and headed south.

176

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #12 On March 16, 1521, Magellan sighted the mountains of Samar (Zambia). It was a portion of the

Philippine Islands archipelago, located southeast of the central Vasayan Islands. Magellan named it St. Lazarus, since he first saw it on March 16, or “St Lazarus’s Day.” Samar’s coastal reefs prohibited landing, so Magellan’s fleet sailed southward and then west into Leyte Gulf. He sighted natives in many canoes off the shores of Suluan, but feared possible conflict with the islanders and decided to ford ahead. Magellan sailed another eleven miles and anchored at Homonhon, apparently an uninhabited small island. Its bay was a pleasing half moon shape, with a white sand beach and appealed to Magellan and his scurvy weakened sailors.

Two days later, nine natives, apparently from Suluan, arrived aboard a prau, a swift Malayan

single outrigger boat with a triangular sail. Another source said pirogue/piragua, a canoe made from a hollowed tree trunk. A few came aboard Magellan’s ship and received trinkets, including red cloth, mirrors, hawk bells, and ivory. In return, they gave all the food they carried in their vessel. Antonio Piagafetta, was a gentleman passenger and adventurer aboard Magellan’s ship. Pigafetta kept a journal and much of the information about this voyage was due to his faithful writings. The food items were a jug of palm wine, fish, two kinds of bananas, which Pigafetta described as “figs a foot long,” plus “cochi” (coconuts). Pigafetta also noted that they were naked except for loin cloths of park, and named them Caphri (Kaffirs), Arabic for unbelievers.

Through sign language, the natives agreed to return with fresh provisions. True to their

commitment, four days later they brought coconuts, rice, palm wine, oranges, and chicken. They were accompanied by their chiefs, whom Pigafetta described as extensively tattooed, adorned with gold armbands, earrings, and wearing silk embroidered cotton skirts. Imagine how delighted Magellan must have been to see the clothes and ornaments indicative of trade with China.

March 25th, Magellan sailed west from Homonhon, and then south until he landed in front of

Limasawa, a small island south of Leyte. The wary islanders came by canoe, but stayed aloof of Magellan’s ship. So, Magellan plied the natives with trinkets offered on a plank, which was gently slid towards their canoe. Once the gifts were received, the islanders departed. A few hours later, two balangays arrived bearing their leader, Rajah Kolambu (Colambu) who ruled Limasawa, Suluan, and a district in Mindanao. Rajah Kolambu sent a few of his men to Magellan’s ship, bearing gifts of a gold bar and basket of ginger. With great restraint, Magellan politely declined, to avoid appearing eager. Meanwhile, to his delight, Magellan’s Malayan slave of ten years, Enrique, understood these natives’ language. Scholars believe that Enrique was reared in the central Philippines, captured, taken to Sumatra, and then to Malacca islands (east Indies) and eventually sold to Magellan.

As the days passed, Magellan earned Rajah Kolambu’s trust and, the latter, invited Magellan to

be bonded to his as a blood brother casi casi ceremony. This ceremony was popular in Malay at the time and involved each drinking a few drops of the other’s blood. Magellan introduced the islanders of Lamsawa to Christianity, by holding a solemn Easter mass on the beach. Antonia Piagefetta’s journal account was, “After the mass, some of our men took communion. The captain general then ordered the performance of a sword dance, at which the kings we greatly pleased.” This display of swirling blades would have appealed to the blade wielding Filipinos, and Pigafetta confirmed its success. Magellan further bragged about the superiority of Spanish warriors, claiming that they could take on and defeat Filipino warriors three to one.

Magellan also queried the natives and ascertained that a greater selection of spice commodities

could be had from Seylani (Leyte), Zubu (Cebu) and Clagan (Mindanao). Rajah Kolambu then offered to escort Magellan’s fleet through the tricky reefs and through his quest, if Magellan would delay two days and help with the rice harvest. Magellan, short of staples, agreed. A week later, on April 4th, Ferdinand Magellan, his new blood brother, Rajah Kolambu and men, in their respective ships and balangay headed northeast for Cebu. They chose Cebu because it served as the trading center for the Philippine Islands as was ten times larger than Limasawa.

177

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #13

Magellan entered the Cebu port with a huge show of artillery intended to impress the short, fat

local ruler, Rajah Humabon. When ordered to pay a required harbor fee, common to sea faring traders, Magellan refused. He then intimidated the ruler by claiming that his king was more powerful than that of the notorious Portuguese, who ruthlessly conquered Malacca and Calicut. Next, Magellan used gifts and the promise of strong trade to successfully endear himself to Rajah Humabon. Magellan was invited to the palace where Rajah Humabon was comfortable in a loincloth. Humabon, in order to secure friendship with Magellan engaged him in the casi casi blood brother ceremony.

Where the two Rajahs used casi casi to bond relations with Magellan, he in turn used Christianity

as a tool to manipulate them. Particularly, Magellan wanted to cement future Spanish trade through Rajah Humabon. With Cebu as a base trading center, business could be networked throughout the Archipelago, and extended to the Asian mainland. Magellan even bribed prospective converts with the promise of new suits of armor, gave showy displays of piety, and promised favored treatment to Christians. Magellan additionally informed Humabon that as a Christian, he could more easily subdue enemies. Humabon expressed a desire to become a Christian, but worried that the other chiefs, as equals, wouldn’t obey him. Consequently, Maellan boasted that resistant chiefs would be killed and their possessions seized. On April 14, 1521, Magellan’s fleet chaplain baptized the two rajahs: Kolambu and Humabon, the latter’s wife, and approximately 800 others. Within the next eight days, 2,200 people on Cebu and some neighboring islands followed the lead of the two rajahs and became Christians.

The irony was while their captain and fleet chaplain were baptizing souls into Christianity, many of

the sailors were debauching the Cebu island women. According to Pigafetta, however, Cebu males participated in the custom of palang which subjected their women to painful sexual relations. Pigafetta described. “The males, large and small, have their penis pierced from one side to the other near the head, with a gold or tin bolt, the thickness of a goose quill. In both ends of the same bolt, some have what resembles a spur with points on the ends, others like the head of a cart nail. I very often asked many, both old and young, to see their penis, because I could not credit (believe) it. In the middle of the bolt is a hole, through which they urinate. The bolt and spurs always hold firm.”

Pigafetta’s additional information was the men of Cebu, “have as many wives as they wish, but

one of them is the main wife. Whenever any of our men went ashore, both by day and by night, everyone invited them to eat and drink… the women loved us very much more than their own men. All of the women from the age of six years upward have their vaginas gradually opened because of the men’s penises.” The horrific custom of palang, in all its facets, outrages our culture. However, in line with our beliefs, the natives of Cebu were outraged by the philandering of their wives and daughters. Magellan shared their anger, and in fact, demoted one of his participating ship captains for his wanton licentiousness.

Meanwhile, the newly baptized Rajah Humabon told Magellan that several local chiefs were

unwilling to submit to his authority. Magellan then ordered the neighboring chiefs to acknowledged Humabon as their superior or suffer the consequences. Regardless, three chiefs remained unmoved. So, Magellan dispatched a small group of his militia to use one chief’s village as an example to the others. Magellan’s men punished the chief, burned his village of Bulaya and returned with livestock, as contraband. That was enough to convince the remaining two defiant chiefs to acquiesce and pay the more strict tribute to Humabon, as demanded by Magellan for their resistance: a goat, pig, basket of rice and jug of honey. The remaining chief, Rajah Lapulapu, of Mactan (Magtam) Island remained fiercely defiant and challenged Magellan to battle.

Mactan is a small (area 24 sq. mi.). coral, rectangular shaped island, off eastern Cebu and

several hundred miles south of Manila. Rajah (Ci)Lapulapu and his tribesmen, consistent with the history of Philippines, were skilled fighters of Sri Vijayan ancestry. They were used to battles, having spent years fending off neighboring Rajah Humabon’s tribe. Mactan has extensive mangrove swamps, and perhaps the reason for the tribes’ territorial disputes.

178

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #14 Magellan was determined to deal with Rajah Lapulapu’s resistance as effectively as he had the

Bulaya village. However, one of his ship captains attempted to dissuade Magellan from invading Mactan. Magellan had boasted that only sixty men would be required for the assault that would prove Spanish superiority in warfare and teach Rajah Lapulapu a lesson as welled. The captain who’d warned Magellan not to battle, declined participation, but sent another instead. Additionally, Rajah Humabon warned Magellan that his plan to attack Mactan was not sound, but Magellan’s mind was set.

In any event, Rajah Humabon backed Magellan with thirty of his own canoes, bearing 1,000 Filipino warriors in total. Rajah Humabon offered his men to lead the attack, but Magellan unwisely refused and ordered Humabon and his men to remain in their canoes. Then, Magellan adhered stubbornly to his deadly plan and disregarding the advice of all headed to Mactan with his sixty men. He was flanked by his blood brothers Kolambu, Homubon and warriors. They arrived on Mactan on April 7, 1521, with the deadly intent to destroy Rajah Lapulapu and subjugate his people. An over confident Magellan, usually thorough, neglected considering the tide or a reef that prevented his ships from coming closer than 1,000 yards from shore. This meant that his mounted swivel guns were ineffectively out of range and Magellan and his men had to wade to shore. The Spaniards carried only their muskets which proved ineffective in penetrating the native wooden shields. Furthermore, Magellan and his men wore only half of their armor, which exposed their legs. This proved to be Magellan’s “Achilles hell.” Lapulapu and his tribesmen responded with fire hardened bamboo spears (some iron tipped), blades resembling large scimitars (bolos), stakes, arrows (tipped with poison), stones, and dirt. Magellan was struck in the leg with a poisoned arrow and ordered his men to slowly retreat. Magellan continued to battle along with just a few of his men. He was struck in the face with a hardened bamboo spear, and succumbed to death when an arm injury prevented any further fighting on his part. Magellan suffered that resounding defeat and lost his life on April 27, 1521. His body was never recovered by Europeans. Conversely, Rajah Lapulapu became a hero and his city, formerly called Opon, was renamed Lapulapu in his honor. Antonio Pigafetta, was a gentleman passenger and adventurer aboard Magellan’s ship. Pigafetta survived the voyage and kept a journal. Much of the information about Magellan’s voyage was due to his faithful writings. In great detail he described their encounters in the Philippines: “On Friday the twenty-sixth of April, Zzula, lord of the aforesaid island of Mattan (Mactan) sent one of his sons to present to the captain-general two goats, saying that he would keep all his promises to him, but because of the lord Cilapulapu (who refused to obey the King of Spain) he had not been able to… And he begged that on the following night he (Magellan) would send but one boat with some of his men to fight.” “The captain-general resolved to go there with three boats. And however strongly we besought him not to come, yet… at midnight we set forth, sixty men armed with corselets and helmets, together with the Christian king (Humabon, whom Magellan had baptized): and we so managed that we arrived at Mattan three hours before daylight.” “The captain would not fight at this hour, but sent… to tell the lord of the place (Cilapulapu) and his people that, if they agreed to obey the King of Spain, and recognize the Christian king as their lord, and give us tribute, they should all be friends. But if they acted otherwise they should learn by experience how our lances pierced. They replied that they had lances of bamboo hardened in the fire and stakes dried in the fire, and that we were to attack then when we would…” “When day came, we leapt into the water, being forty-nine men, and so we went for a distance of two crossbow flights before we could reach the harbor, and the boats could not come further inshore because of the stones and rocks which were in the water. The other eleven men remained to guard the boats.” “Having thus reached land we attacked them. Those people had formed three divisions, of more than one thousand and fifty persons. And immediately they perceived us, they came about us with loud voices and cries, two divisions on our flanks, and one around and before us. When the captain saw this he divided us in two, and thus we began to fight. The hackbutmen and crossbowmen fired at long range for nearly half an hour, but in vain, (our shafts) merely passing through their shields, made of strips of wood unbound, and their arms. Seeing this, the captain cried out, ‘Do not fire, do not fire any more.’ But that was of no avail. When those people saw this, and that we fired the hackbuts in vain, they shouted and determined to stand fast… they fired at us so many arrows, and lances of bamboo tipped with iron, and pointed stakes hardened by fire, and stones, that we could hardly defend ourselves.”

“Seeing this, the captain sent some of his men to burn the houses of those people in order to frighten them. Who, seeing their houses burning, became bolder and more furious, so that two of our men were killed near these houses, and we burned a good thirty of their houses. Then they came so furiously against us that they sent a poison arrow through the captain’s right leg. Wherefore he ordered us to withdraw slowly, but the men fled while six or eight of us remained with the captain. And those people shot at no other place but our legs, for the latter were bare. Thus for the great number of lances and stones that they threw and discharged at us we could not resist.” “Our large pieces of artillery which were in the ships could not help us, because they were firing at too long range, so that we continued to retreat for more than a good crossbow flight from the shore, still fighting, and in water up to our knees. And they followed us, hurling poisoned arrows four or six times, while, recognizing the captain, so many turned upon him that they knocked his helmet off its head twice.” “But as a good captain and a knight he still stood fast with some others, fighting thus for more than an hour. And as he refused to retire further, and Indian threw a bamboo lance (spear) into his face, and the captain immediately killed him with his lance, which he left in the Indian’s body. Then, trying to lay hand on his sword, he could draw it out but halfway, because of a wound from a bamboo lance that he had in his arm. Which seeing, all those people hurled themselves on him, and one of them with a large javelin thrust it into his left leg, whereby he fell face downward. On this all at once rushed upon him with lances (Spears) of iron and of bamboo and they slew our mirror, our light, our comfort, and our true guide” “While those people were striking him, he several times turned back to see whether we were all at the ship. Then, seeing him dead, as best we could we rescued the wounded men and put them into the boats which were already leaving.” “After dinner the Christian king… sent to tell those of Mactan that if they would give us the bodies of the captain and the other dead men, we would give them as much merchandise as they desired. And they answered that they would not give up such a man, as we supposed, and that they would not give him up for the greatest riches in the world, but that they intended to keep him as a perpetual memorial.

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #16

Magellan became too overconfident regarding the fighting ability of his soldiers and intended to prove that to his Christian Filipino cohorts. He believed that the spear, kalis (broadsword) and baraws (daggers) of Lapulapu and his men were no match against their own European steel armor and muskets. He had hoped to conquer Mactan as a present to Rajah Humabon. He therefore, took only 60 men who wore only half their armor (legs exposed), ordered Humabon’s back up force to remain in their balangays, neglected to judge the tide or reefs and waded to shore. His own arrogance and pride defeated the otherwise cautious Magellan, and so he paid with his life. Magellan had his chance to fight with the native in habitants. He learned too late, however, that aside from the confidence of Lapulapu and his men, and of the magic powers of their anting-anting (amulets), they were skilled in the art of kali using bladed weapons. For the first time in history, the Filipino art of fighting was used against Europeans in defense of the country where it was developed. Villagers in cotton cloth fought the armored Spaniards to the beach. They battled Spain’s finest steel with pieces of rattan, homemade lances and fire hardened sticks with points. At noon that day, Magellan died at the hands of the fiery chieftain Lapulapu, the first Filipino to successfully resist foreign aggression.

Lapulapu and his 1,050 men effectively used fired hardened bamboo spears (some iron tipped), blades resembling large scimitars (bolos), stakes, arrows (tipped with poison), stones, and dirt in defeating Magellan’s invading force. Perhaps Lapulapu kept Magellan as a trophy or idol, but there is no evidence that this was ever done. A tall column overlooking the bay where the battle took places commemorates the death of Magellan. Bit according to Filipino history, Magellan was a pirate. He burned their homes and trade to enslave their people as part of the great Spanish conquest. In the little township a mile or two away, a new bronze statute of Lapulapu, leader of the warriors who killed Magellan, shines in the sun.

Magellan and his men were the first Westerners to witness and gain knowledge of the fighting arts of the Philippines. The battle of Mactan became notorious, and whereas Magellan’s fate was mourned, Lapulapu became a hero in the Philippines. Rajah Humabon never fulfilled his plans to attack Lapulapu. The latter had gained a reputation as being extraordinarily powerful. However, both rajahs would have been accomplished in pangamut, an early form of kali. It consists of eight strokes, two slashes each to the head, chest, and kidney; then two thrusts, to the head and chest. Lapulpalu’s weapon was the kampilan (double pointed blade) and his kali would have been a harder, more powerful style. Lapulapu was reputed as having the ability to throw a short stick that would pierce a coconut tree. Humabon would have used a softer, lighter, more evasive kali style.

SPANISH CONTROL Philip the II of Spain, for whom the archipelago was named, continued to send expeditions to the Philippines, under the following series of leaders: Garcia Jefre de Loyasa, Alvaro Saavedra and Lopez de Villalobos. It was not until 1563, when the fifth expedition (Magellan counting as the first) arrived with its captain adventurer, Miguel Lopez de Lagaspi (also spelled Legazpi, in some sources). Lagaspi made headway into the Philippines. In May 1565 he established a permanent European colony on Cebu. His Spanish conquistadors successfully used fire power, military strategy and the advantage of the barangay’s isolation from each other to conquer Cebu and annex neighboring islands. Then, in 1570 Legazpi’s grandson, Juan Salcedo, sailed to Luzon and established friendly relations with the Rajah of Tondo, Lacandola, and the Rajah of Manila, Soliman. By 1571, just forty years after Magellan’s death, the elder Miguel Lopez de Legaspi proclaimed Spanish sovereignty over the Philippine Archipelago and named Manila as its capital.

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #17

In 1574, an exiled Chinese pirate, Li Ma Hong, attempted to take control of Manila. He came with sixty-two armed junks, containing some 5,000 men. Li Ma Hong demanded control of the city, but was defeated. Most of his men escaped to the north and intermarried with the islanders. The Dutch, traditional enemies of Spain, often tried to invade the islands and wrest control from the Spanish, but were consistently forced into retreat. Spain continued to dominate and chose to retain the barangay as their basic unit of local administration in the islands. Unfortunately, they sadly disregarded the venerated tuhons careful passage of writings, which were passed down through centuries, one generation to the next. The Spanish destroyed most of the Philippine Islander’s writing and eclipsed many areas of Filipino culture. Most certainly, Spanish rulers would have viewed the Filipino martial arts, kali, as a potential threat attempted to squelch it by prohibiting the Filipinos from displaying or carrying bladed weapons. However, as fast as the Spaniards tried to eradicate kali, the arts transitioned to alternate seemingly innocuous avenues of Filipino culture. Although practice with the blade was still continued in secret, usually at night under moonlight, kalimen switched their ancestral art’s emphasis from kalis (bladed weaponry) to bahi (hardwood) or oway (rattan) sticks. Additionally, mono mono plays were staged as mock battles of Moors against Crusaders. However camouflaged within the play’s dances, kali, (now arnis in Spanish) was retained, hidden, and legally practiced directly before the unsuspecting Spanish despots. Arnis survived the Spanish conquest and later, as we shall see, the American occupation. The Spaniards did their best to completely immerse the Philippine Islanders into Spanish ways. They even changed the entire blocks of Filipino surnames from their native names into completely different Spanish ones. Kali names changed accordingly and gleaned additional techniques. Kali became arnis de mano (Spanish for arnis, trapping or defensive armor). Kali also changed to the Spanish names: 1) estocada, to Tagalogs, and 2) egrima, escrima, or eskrima (to fence or skirmish) to Visayans. Other areas knew kali as estoque, fraile, arnis de mano, or arnis. The stick became known as the baston, garrote, or tabak, and the blades were often grouped under the term bolo. Espada y daga was what the Spanish called the blade and dagger. Sinawali or doble baston refer to the use of two sticks. Kali cultivated mutual respect among men while preserving life and freedom. This was mostly clearly observed in the unconquerable spirit of the Moors in the southern Philippines. Dan Inosato related, “the Muslim warriors opposed the Spanish conquests with their religion, their courage, and their unparalleled fighting ability.” Spain was never able to subjugate or even extort tribute from the Moslems in the south. The Spaniard’s strategy was to capture Moro chiefs and then break and force them to make their people submit, as they had done to Montezuma in Mexico. It never happened. Spain misjudged these descendants of the Moslem Majapahit Empire. Moro leaders were fiercely committed to retaining freedom, and would mete out death or die attempting to protect this fundamental value. They boldly, competently and successfully keep their people and territory free from invaders since the time when they themselves were conquerors. The Spanish were not the first to fail in an attempt to control Moro territory and they would not be the last. To date no one has succeeded in conquering or dominating the proud strong people of the Mindanao.

Another Filipino point of contention regarding three religious orders, Dominicans, Augustinians,

and Recollects and their ownership of one tenth of all the Philippine island’s unimproved land. This had occurred because the Catholic Church had been united with the Spanish government for over three hundred twenty seven years. Plus, the Filipino clergy resented the power the Spanish clergy held in the church. Despite sporadic opposition from the Filipino clergy throughout the years, the Spanish retained power in the islands. Additionally, the Spanish continued to repulse foreign attempts to take over the Philippine archipelago, including the time in 1762 when the British captured the city of Manila. Spain regained the city, however, according to the Treaty of Paris in 1763.

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #18

LIGA FILIPINA

In 1872, Filipino soldiers at Cavite arsenal rebelled, killed their Spanish officers and demanded independence. This revolt failed to produce freedom and resulted in the martyred deaths of three Filipino priests: José Burgos, Mariano Gómez, and Jacinto Zamora. They were blamed for sedition and executed. Their deaths served to further incite bitter resentment toward Spanish rule. Discontent bred the “Propaganda Movement” against the Spanish by Filipino refugees in Europe. Foremost among them was Dr. Jose Rizal, who was residing in Spain to further his education. Rizal wrote a novel, Noli me Tángere, (The Social Cancer) in 1886. It centered around the Spanish corruption of Manilan society. The nineteenth century brought forth an educated middle class that yearned for independence.

When Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1892, from Madrid, he was pardoned by the captain General of the Archipelago. Three days later, Rizal threw a reunion with Filipinos of some wealth and having the same zest for independence from all Spanish control, as himself. In the beginning of 1893 the society of the Liga was formed as an imitation Filipino form of the Spanish Freemasons. Rules were made and officers decided upon an initiation rite for new members. The initiation included swearing oaths, kissing a skull and signing documents in the blood of the person swearing allegiance to the Liga. Further, the nationalistic ideas of the Liga were spread through conferences, books, pamphlets and its underground paper, “La Solidaridad.” Only wealthy men and members of Masonic orders were invited to join the Liga and unite in plotting the abolition of Spanish rule.

Pio Valenzuela’s testimony regarding his initiation into the Liga Filipina was: “Once in the house, they spoke of many things, en resumé, that the aim of the

association was to obtain the independence of the Philippines, oppressed and enslaved by the Spaniards. Placing a dagger at his breast, they obliged him to throw himself upon it. But lacking the courage they placed it in his hand, leading him to a man whom recognized to be seated, and ordered him to strike the man with the dagger, a thing which de hared not do either. He was then conducted into a room and addressed by a person he knew to be Bonifacio by the voice, who informed him that he could not retrace his steps because he knew of the existence of the society, he could not assist at the juntas, nor could they teach him the signs of recognition til he had been re-initiated; they moreover made him sign two sheets of blank paper, causing him to swear never to reveal the existence of the society to anyone, under the pain of assassination. They then removed the blindfold and he saw around him eight or nine individuals dressed in cloaks and hoods; he signed the two sheets of paper and was again blindfolded and conducted to a considerable distance from the house where the bandage was again removed.”

Another member of the Katipunan, in his declaration made on the 22nd of September in 1896,

stated during the month of February 1893, one Sunday morning, a certain Estanislao Legaspi entered his store, telling him to accompany him in a calesa. He listened to tirades against the Spanish government til their arrival at the house of a certain Tranquilino Tories, in Calle Elcano. Here “his eyes were bandaged by Legaspi and he was handed over to the care of another individual who conducted him to the upper story of the house and made him sit down; he then heard a person whom he knew to be Legaspi by his voice speak, saying several things against the Spanish Government, demanding of him an oath of blind obedience, and a defense of the Philippines til the shedding of the last drop of his blood, threatening him with fearful punishments if he should turn traitor.

The ceremony being terminated, his eyes were unbound and he saw, on a table, a skull which they made him kiss, and Legaspi handed him a lance commanding him to wound himself in the arm; but he felt a feeling of feint-heartedness come over him, and manifested to those present that he had not the courage enough to wound himself and wished that the oath he had taken had been enough; he was dispensed from the operation. When the bandaged was removed the eight individuals composing the junta were masked with black hoods, but after he kissed the skull and attempted to wound himself they removed the hoods and he then recognized Estanislao Legaspi, who presided, Mariano de Vera, Teodoro Plata and Juan de la Cruz, who was a clerk of the Tabacalera and who had led him upstairs; he did not know the other three. The witness paid two pesos as entrance fee, promising to pay 50 cents monthly. He then asked Legaspi what association it was and he replied it was the Liga Filipina.”

183

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #19

The Liga Filipina was well organized according to provinces: Each province had a provincial council, organized similarly as the main Supreme council, but each headed with only six councilors.

Those councilors had under their orders as many popular councils as pueblos in the province. The chain of command began with the powerful Supreme Council and filtered down through the well organized provincial councils. Dues were collected from the membership in order to further its mission toward

national independence. However, by 1894 when the society was one year old, its membership voted to disband. Nevertheless, another secret society had already been established prior to the Liga, with

similar, but more radical initiation practices. This other society would move to the forefront, and last until 1898, long enough to perpetrate rebellion and death. That society was the Katipunan.

THE KATIPUNAN

Additionally, other persons significantly affected the Filipino move toward independence. Philippine patriot, Andres Bonifacio was born in Manila of poor parents of Chinese and Tagalog descent. He later emerged as a primary advocate for Filipino nationalism. Bonifacio was well-read and a graduate of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. He wanted complete severance from Spanish rule. Bonifacio worked as a warehouse clerk and messenger prior to 1892. In that year, Andres Bonifacio founded and led a secret nationalist revolutionary society known as the Katipunan. The full name of the society was Kataastaasan Kagalang-Galang Na Katipunan Nang Manga Anak Nang Bayan meaning, “Supreme Worshipful Association of the Songs of the People.” The Katipunan fulfilled Bonifacio’s ideal, it was a Filipino nationalist organization founded to oppose Spanish rule.

The Katipunan was organized under the umbrella of the order of Freemasons as was the Liga

Filipina. Masonic orders are traditionally secret, anyway. So for Filipino Freemasons to initiate members and swear them to silence as to words and actions within the sect, was not questioned by the Spanish. Again, the Spanish had introduced the Filipinos to Masonry. The organization of the free Masons worked out to perfectly suit the Katipunan. Members, respectively, were ruled from the top by the Supreme Council, which was similar to the organization of the Spanish Masonic orders. Power filtered sequentially downward to the provincial council, popular council, sections, and delegates.

Freemasons initiated rites, through secrets, are not mystical. By comparison, initiation rites were

mysterious with the Ligas, and even more radical with the Katipunan. Its initiates and those involved, all wore masks. The new initiate was faced with a table bearing a skull, crossbones, triangles, and two candles. The Katipunan initiation would include an explanation of its purpose: the liberation of the Tagalog people, and expulsion or destruction of the Spanish. Then, the new initiate would somberly be reminded of the three martyred Filipino priests (1872) and would witness imitations of assassinations or suicide.

Then, the Katipunan initiate took oaths of obedience, and would dedicate himself to freedom of

the people unto death, protection of the brotherhood’s secrets to the grave and commitment to increasing membership. The initiate was required to cut his own arm with a dagger and used the flowing blood as ink in signing written oaths. Initiates were warned that grave repercussions were to be imposed upon any Katipunan member who violated his oaths. Masonic brothers all used special signs and passwords to recognize brother members of their society. They also promise strict compliance to orders from superior members. Monthly dues were collected and used by the Supreme Council’s central Masonic treasury to publish propaganda, and procure weapons.

The book entitled “Lithim Na Karunungan Ng Diyos” (Secret knowledge of God) translates many of the Katipunan text, symbols, and coded messages. It may possible to recover this book from other sources, perhaps in the Philippines or Spain.

Anti-Spanish sentiment ran so strongly within the Philippines that the Katipunan society was

known to have had 100,000 members by 1896, when discovered by the Spaniards, and believed to have had up to 400,000 during the course of its existence. Its members were mostly of Tagalog workers and peasants. The urban middle class members favored reform rather than revolution.

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #21

Commensurate with its large membership was the Katipunan’s growth, geographically, from Manila to branches in central Luzon. Panay, Mindoro, and Mindanao. They were organized by provinces, much as the Liga had been, and this organizational system proved very effective.

In 1895, Andres Bonifacio concretely moved toward armed rebellion. He began futile

negotiations with Japan, hoping to solidity that country’s backing in the event the Katipunan rebellion was successful. Wealthy Filipinos contributed funds enough to purchase “a good number of arms” which were deposited on the coasts of Cavite and Balangas. The assault plan was to massacre all Spanish men, women, children, religious, or lay people. Once that nefarious deed was accomplished, the Katipuna’s were sanctioned to ravage and pillage at will. To better his position within the organization, Bonifacios became mayor of Vacite Viejo in August, 1896.

From August 19-21, 1896 the Spanish discovered the insurrectional conspiracy of the Katipunan

and began making arrests accordingly. This was confirmed two days later by a telegram sent to Colonial Minister Señor Castellano, from Governor General Blanco, in Manila. The telegram read as follows: Manila, August 21, 1896- The Governor General to the Colonial Minister

-Vast organizations of secret societies discovered with anti-national tendencies. Twenty-two persons detained among them the Gran Oriente 9of Philippine Freemasonry) of the Philippines, and others of importance. Immediate action taken and special judge will be designated for greater activity.

Blanco THE PHILIPPINE REVOLUTION OF 1896

The Spanish knowledge of Katipunan intent to purge the Philippine Islands of all Spaniards intensified the need for the Katipunan society to act, or abolish their resolve of Filipino independence. Bonifacio subsequently held a meeting on the 24th of August with five hundred of the Katipunan members in attendance. They voted to either return as legal subordinates of Spanish authority or to proceed with armed and immediate rebellion. Andres Bonifacio supported immediate rebellion and the Katipunan membership overwhelmingly agreed as indicated by the vote.

Therefore, orders were sent to Manila, Cavite, Nuevo Ecija and other provinces to rebel on

Sunday, August 30th. 1895, at sunrise. As planned, the entire province of Manila, Luzon erupted into the anti-Spanish revolt of the Katipunan. Atrocities were perpetrated against, “as many Europeans and loyal natives as were encountered.”

186

HISTORY OF THE PHLIPPINES #22 Nevertheless, the Katipunan was not invincible. Spanish forces subdued Andres Bonifacio’s groups and they fled northward to Montalban. Additionally, Spanish military forces successfully protected the province of San Juan del Monte with two sections of artillery. Meanwhile, sixty Veteran Guards were able to stay off rebels in the Sampaloc suburb. With Andres Bonifacio in exile, another rebel lieutenant, , assumed leadership of the Katipunan and commanded an assault in the province of Cavite, on August 31, 1896. The Katipunan targeted, disarmed and assassinated the resisting Spanish Civil Guard. They also invaded Roman Catholic convents and estates in the province and ruthlessly murdered all within. Next, on September 3, 1896, Aguinaldo led another ferocious Katipunan revolt at the Luzon capital city of Nueval Ecija. Again, the Katipunan successfully targeted and defeated the Civil Guard. By the time reinforcements arrived from Manila, there were very few Spaniards left to rescue. Finally, Spain was spared from further massive Katipunan atrocities by Teodoro Paino, a mere initiate of the Katipunan. He was a workman for Diario de Manila, a printing business serving the Katipunan by secretly producing its proclamations, lithographic stones, daggers, and harboring receipts. However, the Katipunan’s recent mobilization as a mass killing machine had convicted Teodoro Paino’s conscience. So, Paino shared his regret for having belonged to the Katipunan and disclosed its secrets to his sister. She was a student at the College of Looban, where she reported her brother’s testimony. The college was operated by the Roman Catholic Sisters of Mercy who, in turn, sent Paino to repeat his confession to the parish priest of Tondo. Then Teodoro Paino’s knowledge was passed to the subdivision’s lieutenants and on up to their district chiefs. It ignited a 15 day non-stop manhunt that exposed valuable evidence of paper goods and paraphernalia associated with the Supreme Council of the Katipunan and resulted in more than 500 arrests. The Spanish continued their request to eradicate the Katipunan. They were able to defeat a fifty-two day campaign by using reinforced Spanish troops. Andres Bonifacio had lost the confidence of the Katipunan as their military leader since his forces had been pushed into retreat of the first day of the rebellion. Meanwhile, the Spanish rounded up a scapegoat to avenge themselves against the insurgents. They targeted Dr. Jose Rizal, founder of the defunct Liga Filipina. Although Dr. Rizal had written years earlier to elicit support for political reform and Filipino independence, he had never advocated rebellion or violence. Nevertheless, the Spanish arrested Jose Rizal and publically executed him on December 30, 1896. Rizal’s death served to further fuel the Filipino’s animosity against Spanish control in the Philippine Islands.

Kataastaasang Kalagayan Katipunan Nang Manga Anac Nang Bayan (Supreme Society of the Sons of the People) The words Supreme Society express the idea of supreme Social Situation, of a society formed of noteworthy people. A well-read writer on the subject of “El Katipunan o elfilibusterismo en Filipinas,” says, speaking of this union of such notable folk: “A reunion of people who meet to concoct assassinations cannot be a reunion of noteworthy people but should rather be a reunion of noteworthy criminals.” There is not the shadow of a doubt that this is the best and, in fact, the only title to which such a society as the Katipunan can justly lay claim.

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #23

Opinions are divided as to the origin of the word Katipunan and as to the manner in which it should be written. Some spell it with C whilst the majority use K. As to the derivation: the root word is undoubtedly tipon which, prefixed with the particle ca and terminated with an gives us a word, which signifies very select association. The word is, however, generally written with a K so as to be in keeping with the Tagalog way of spelling, as they (that is to say, the redimidos) have taken to the use of K for C whenever C has a hard sound as in “cat.” In like manner, to the insurgent and his sympathizers, Cavite should be Kawite. The K and W are Blumentrittisms, i.e., of German descent. The organization of the Katipunan society was analogous to that enjoyed by the Liga Filipina but amplified to the extent of anarchism, swearing hatred and destruction to everything of a character or nature Spanish, and sowing the seed of a race-hatred. The Supreme, Provincial, popular Councils, sections and the delegations ruled this association. As in freemasonry, the initiations were performed with a wealth of the ridiculous and with unending extravagancies; but of such a nature that the ignorant Indian was fascinated and became converted into a slave of his oath. The initiated and the person to be initiated were masked and lead into a room. Before a table was placed a skull and crossbones, a triangle and two candles. The skull and crossbones symbolized the transition to a different reality. The person about to be initiated was told that the object of the Katipunan was the liberating of the Tagalog people, and the expulsion of the Spaniards from the archipelago or their destruction. Following this came a series of questions and replies in the which the martyrdom of the Gomez, Burgos and Zamora, native priests judged and condemned for their part in the rebellion of Cavite in 1872, was exalted, and they passed on to the proofs which consisted in imitating an assassination and suicide. This was followed by the taking of an oath of striving to effect the liberation of the people til death, an oath which demanded a blind obedience to the commands of the superior and the preservation of the secrets of the association under the pain of death. Finally, to terminate the ceremony, they made an incision in the arm of the person initiated and with the blood which flowed from the wound thus made, the new katipunero signed his compromise. The initiated were called brethren and had their sacred words and their special signs of recognition. They were ruled by a code which established severe punishments including whipping til death and received no orders from anyone, or had no intercourse with anyone, except with their immediate superiors. Matters of importance and organization were dealt with in assemblies constituted by the Supreme Councils and all the presidents of the provincial and popular councils. The accords were taken and discussions decided by a majority of votes. Both the Supreme, provincial, popular Councils, and the sections held their periodical sessions in which were discussed a thousand different affairs, and the decisions of the Councils had to be submitted to the approval of the immediate superior. The gatherings were always held in different houses and localities, no day being set aside as fixed, but the days of festivities were chosen for that purpose, under the pretext of banquets or dances in the which the authorities had no suspicion and because on the said days these semi-public rejoicings were permitted without the necessity of seeking the license of the governing authorities. Both the provincial and the popular councils and the sections were known by special names: the initiated were “Baptized” with symbolic appellations; and the documents were drawn up in the Tagalog dialect, the most important being in secret code. Under the Presidency of Bonifacio, the society commenced an era of febrile activity; the greater umber of the tribunals of the pueblos were converted into centers of propaganda, which were directed by the municipalities. Pamphlets and proclamations against the friars and Spanish element were circulated in profusion. Injuries and outrages were invented, and by these and a thousand and one other infamous means, little by little, hatred and revenge were inculcated into the mind of the Indian

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #24 .

In 1895, Bonifacio took the first decisive steps towards the organizing of an armed rebellion; he sent different delegations to Dapitan to confer with Rizal and receive his advice and instruction; he opened negotiations with the Japanese Government but did not succeed therein. But with his immense ascendancy over the popular masses, ascendancy beyond imagination, he declared himself dictator. The secrets aiders of the Katipunan who pertained to the upper classes offered funds of considerable amount with which were acquired a good number of arms which were landed on the coast of Cavite and Batangas with the aid of wealthy persons.

In August of this year (1896) exaltation among the masses reached its full height, and Bonifacio,

realizing the fact, prepared to take what was necessary in order that in a short time the conspiracy, which was to take effect on the same day and hour in almost all Luzon, should be in readiness. The plan of the attack and taking of Manila was coarsely conceived but it might have been successful, and massacre, sacking and pillage would have crowned the iniquitous work.

Astounding is the number of the initiated; in Manila and its province alone they exceed 14,000 and

in the provinces of Cavite, Batangas, Laguna and Nueva Ecija there are no less than 20,000. Adding to this number those of the remainder of Luzon, the total will ascend to an enormous mass of “illusioned” who bowed in obedience to an iniquitous schemer. It must be recognized, however, that Bonifacio is not a common man, of active character, energetic and bold, gifted with a facility of expression in his language which suggested itself to his countrymen, of a criterion clear but badly cultivated by the reading of books of an elevated style and a pernicious character and possessed of an unfathomable ambition—such was the warehouse proter who had charge of the storehouse of the foreign commercial house of Fressel and Company in Calle Nueva, Binondo.

The orders were circulated with rapidity throughout Manila, Cavite, Nueva Eciia, and other

provinces, commanding that armed rebellion should commence at day-break of Sunday the 30th. The day and hour assigned finally arrived, and the whole province of Manila broke out, the rebels

committing a thousand and cone abuses and crimes upon as many Europeans and loyal natives as were encountered. Like wild beasts they attacked the waterworks and the powder station situated at San Juan del Monte from whence they were valiantly driven back by a section of artillery and another of the 70th regiment. Simultaneously they attempted to invade the suburb of Sampaloc by way of Santa Mesa and there also they were combated and dispersed by 60 Veteran Guards who prevented, by their defense, a day of mourning for the city of Manila.

All Cavite, except the capital, arose in insurrection on the afternoon of the 31st, assassinating and

disarming the whole of the Civil Guard of the province, after a heroic defense on the part of the latter. They assaulted the convents and estates of the Religious Orders and murdered the defenseless ministers of the Lord. On the 3rd of September the capital of Nueva Ecija was attacked by large masses of rebels, and the colony and the Civil Guard heroically resisted until the arrival from Manila of a column which combated the enemy and saved that handful Spaniards from a certain death.

In the daily report of the secret police department made to General Blanco on the 30th of June

1896 is the following notice: “Herewith is given translated most faithfully from Tagalog, the result of an interview held with a

well-to-do Indian who belonged to the most popular of the Masonic lodges, who tried to draw into it a friend. Questioned upon certain affairs, he said: “In the Masonic lodges of San Juan del Monte and of Pandacan, the whole pueblo, rich and poor, is inscribled.”

“In the reunions the brethren attend blindfolded, and the chiefs with the face covered.” “The person who desires to enter the lodge is obliged to have his face covered and his eyes

bandaged in sign of blind obedience; the proofs are carried out and signature made as follows. The person receiving the initiated takes a dagger and gives it to him, saying to him:

189

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #25

“Do you swear to be steel like that which you hold in your hand and not to bend in the exigencies

which oppress and vex us, and to labor in pro of the independence of your enslaved country? “ “I swear,” answers the person to be initiated. “Do you swear not to have father, mother, wife, child, nor any relative but the revenging arm which shall sleep and live with you?” “I swear.” Then they surround him with arms of all classes and say to him: “Here is they family, thy only work, and may it give thee thy life and open thy eyes for the good of the country.” Then they make a small incision in the form of a cross in the right arm

near the shoulder.”

“At present our meetings are held at night and in the most lonely fields, with the object of not being surprised.”

“It is well known among us masons that Rizal is attributed with the faculty of being able to

translate his person instantaneously from one point to another.” With a March 1897 convention in Tejeros, came another step toward Filipino independence. The

Filipino rebels named Emilio Aguinaldo as president of their new unofficial republic. Andres Bonifacio, however, refused to acknowledge the decision of the 1897 convention and attempted to create his own rebel government. Aguinaldo responded by having Bonifaciou arrested, tried for treason, and found guilty as charged. Andres Bonifacio received the death sentence. Ironically, the very man Andres Bonifacio, who founded the Katipunan and fought for supreme independence of the Filipino people, was executed by the new independent Philippine republic’s firing squad. Another irony was when Bonifacio’s forces became militarily weak early in the rebellion, he lost the confidence of the Filipino people. Then, toward the latter part of 1897, Emilio Aguinaldo also became militarily weak. The Spanish army, bulked with Filipino mercenaries, sent the new president Aguinaldo’s rebel troops into retreat in the mountains, southeast of Manila.

On December 15, 1897, the Spanish governor general induced

President Aguinaldo to sign the Pact of Biac-na-bato. Ints purpose was to have both sides make concessions towards peace and temporarily halt the Philippine Revolution. The Filipino revolutionaries were to stop the violence and their leader, Aguinaldo, was to voluntarily exile himself to Hong Kong. The Spaniards sweetened Aguinaldo’s acceptance of exile with offering him a bribe of 400,000 Spanish pesos. Spain’s end of the bargain was a promise to implement liberal reform within a three year period. Unfortunately, the Pact of Biac-na-Bato didn’t bind either side to reform their intent or honor their pledges. The Spanish didn’t carry through with their promises of reform in the Philippines.

Aguinaldo, meanwhile, realizing the reneged reform spent his bribe money purchasing arms and

ammunition in Hong Kong, his new residence of exile. Aguinaldo also met with American consulates and Commander George Dewey in Singapore, to elicit US support for Philippine independence from Spain. US Sympathy for rebels against Spanish control began when several American newspapers published photos in 1895 and exposed Spanish brutality in quelling revolt. Rioting erupted against the Spanish in Havana, Cuba. In response, American sent its battleship (USS Maine) on January 1898, to protect American citizens and property caught in that hot spot. However, on February 15, 1898 while in Havana’s harbor, an explosion aboard the USS Maine caused the battleship to sink and take 260 American seamen with it.

The cause of the detonation was never determined, but the ensuing deaths outraged the US public, who adopted a newspaper’s quote, “Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain.”

190

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #26 Although Spain called an armistice on April 9th and scurried to grant Cuba some power of self

government, the United States intervened. William McKinley was president of the United States and demanded that Spain completely remove its forces from Cuba and grant it independence. America assured Spain it would not annex Cuba for the US but would back Cuba’s right to freedom and use whatever force was necessary to ensure it.

Spain declared war against the United States on April 24, 1898. The US responded in like by

declaring war against Spain on April 25th, but made it retroactive to the 21st of April. Meanwhile, the US ordered Commodore George Dewey to destroy the unprepared Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, Philippines. Commodore Dewey’s own ship led the US fleet, single file, into the Manila Bay in the early morning of May 1, 1898. Had the Spanish prepared for war with competency and strategy, the entrance to Manila would have been peppered with mines and virtually impenetrable. To the contrary, however, Commodore Dewey’s route was clear of mines and they met very little resistance. The Spanish fleet was anchored and consisted of thirteen ships (“tubs,” according to one source). History describes Dewey’s victory as “relatively bloodless.” On the American sides there were no fatalities and only seven seamen wounded.

If rumor is correct, it would have explained Commodore George Dewey’s crushing defeat of the

Spanish. The rumor had it that when war was declared, 224 Spanish sailors deserted their ships, commanders stayed Manila cafes the evening before Dewey’s fleet struck, and some of the Spanish ships scuttled themselves! Apparently, the Spanish army and navy commanders in the Philippines were ill-trained, equipped, or motivated to resist foreign invasion as supported by history recording the American takeover from the Spanish, as a “relatively bloodless event.” Spanish Governor Fermin Jaudenes had secretly arranged a surrender after a mock show of resistence to salvage his honor.

Commodore Geroge Dewey then took possession of Cavite and declared a blockade of Manila

until ground troops arrived three months later. Other foreign ships stayed in the bay with Dewey’s permission, including seven English and four

German warships. Common opinion held that the German supported Spain. SO when the German commander violated international law by sending his boats from ship to ship without Commodore Dewey’s permission, he took stern measures. At one point Commodore George Dewey fired warning shots across the bow of the German ship. He next invited the German commander aboard his ship and informed him that ship to ship visitation without permission was an act of war. Commodore Dewey then offered, “As we are in for it now, it matters little to us whether we fight Spain, or Germany, or the world. And if you desire war, you can have it right here. You need not cable to Berlin, nor need I to Washington. You can just have war here and now.” The German commander backed down from the challenge, and Commodore Dewey thereby further reinforced US control of the Philippines.

It appeared as though the German presence was there to assure that the US would not take over

the Philippines, as Prince Henry (of Germany) had stated back in a Hong Kong conference that “Germany would not permit America to annex the Philippine Islands.” On the other hand, perhaps Germany was waiting, as a vulture, to swoop in itself. It was believed that England stood by as an ally. Again, it was not US intention to annex the Philippines at the time Commodore Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet, or when US forces took possession of Manila, on August 13, 1898.

Commander George Dewey requested Emilio Aguinaldo to return from Hong Kong to the

Philippine to help eradicate the Spanish from the land. On May 19, 1898, Aguinaldo returned to resume authority and presidency over what he understood would become the free republic of the Philippines. Aguinaldo’s troops governed all of the Philippines, other than the city of Manila, which was occupied by American forces. With the intent of working as allies, Aguinaldo’s men were given American arms and ammunition. The Filipino forces then efficiently rounded remaining Spanish delegates on Luzon and delivered them to US forces in Manila. On June 12, 1898, the Filipinos declared independence of Spain.

191

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #27

On June 30, 1898, three thousand American servicemen arrived to the Philippines aboard the US cruiser, Charleston. Then, on August 13, Manila fell after a bloodless “battle.” The Treaty of Paris was enacted on December 10, 1898. In accordance with its terms, the US paid Spain $20,000,000 for sovereignty of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands. This accumulation of property tipped the international scales, making the United States a world power with new weight in international politics.

In 1898, then, the Spanish colonial government was replaced by an American military government. Consequently, the Filipinos realized that America, formerly viewed as the savior of the weak and oppressed, was no longer intending to grant independence to the Filipino republic. In fact, it appeared that America was replacing Spain as a formidable oppressor in the Philippines. Clearly, Aguinaldo and his countrymen had not fought all those years to continue in slavery. Nor had they battled with intent to submit to yet another foreign power. The goal of the Filipino people was to govern themselves as an independent republic. Therefore, on January 23, 1899, Emilio Aguinaldo established a provisional Filipino government at Malolos under the Malolos constitution. Malolos, in central Luzon, became the Filipino capital. Again, the Filipinos resumed the fight for independence. This time it was against the United States of America.

Fighting on the outskirts of Manila broke out between the Filipinos and US servicemen on February 4, 1899. It was found the next morning that the brave but reckless Filipinos were severely defeated.

While the fighting was in progress, Emilio Aguinaldo issued a proclamation to his people dated February 5, 1899. It read as follows:

“By the proclamation of yesterday, I have published the outbreak of hostilities between the Filipino forces and the American army of occupation in Manila, unjustly and unexpectedly provoked by the latter. My manifesto of January 8th last, published the grievances suffered by the Filipino army at the hands of the American army. The proclamation of General Otis relates to the insults to the Filipino people. The constant outrages and taunts which have caused the misery of the people of Manila, and finally the useless conferences proved a premeditated transgression of justice and liberty. I know that war always has produced great disasters. I know that the Filipino people have not yet recovered from past losses, and are not in the best position to endure others. But I also know by experience how bitter is slavery, and by experience also I know that we should sacrifice all on the altar of our honor and the national integrity so unjustly attacked. I have tried to avoid, as far as it has been possible for me to do so, armed conflict, in my endeavor to assure our independence, by pacific means, and to avoid more costly sacrifices. But all my efforts have been useless before the measureless pride of the American government and all of its representatives in these islands, who have treated me as a ‘rebel’ because I defend the sacred interests of my country and do not make myself an instrument of their dastardly intentions. Past campaigns will have convinced you that the people are strong when they wish to be so. Without arms we have driven from our beloved country our ancient masters, and without arms we can repulse the foreign invasion as long as we wish to do so. Providence always has means in reverse and promptly helps the weak in order that they may not be annihilated by the strong, and that justice may be done and humanity progress. Be not discouraged; our independence has been watered with the generous blood of our martyrs; blood which may be shed in the future will strengthen it; nature has never despised generous sacrifices. But in order that our efforts may not be wasted, that our desires may be listened to and our independence gained, it is indispensable that we adjust our actions to the rule of law and of right leading to triumph over our enemies and to conquer our own evil passions.”

-Emilio Aguinaldo, President of the Filipino Republic Mololos, February 5th, 1899

192

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #28

Two days later the United States ratified the Treaty of Paris against Spain and America dispatched reinforcements to the Philippines. And now the Philippine-American war continued. Throughout the spring of 1899, American troops pushed Aguinaldo’s forces northward into the central Luzon Plain, and by the end of that year Aguinaldo and what was left of his government forces retreated into the inaccessible northern mountains. By November 1899, Aguinaldo’s forces, extremely weakened, were operating under tactics of guerilla warfare.

However, in 1901, fighting continued with increased bitterness on the island of Samar. General Jacob F. Smith, enraged by a guerilla massacre of US troops, launched a retaliatory campaign of such indiscriminate ferocity that he was court-martialed and forced to retire.

The insurrection was finally brought to an end when, in a daring operation led by General Fredrick Funston, General Aguinaldo was captured in his secret headquarters at Palanan in northern Luzon on March 23, 1901. Aguinaldo subsequently appealed to Filipinos to cease fighting and accept US sovereignty. He then took an oath of allegiance to the United States, and retired to private life.

Although an end to the insurrection was declared in 1902, sporadic fighting continued for several years thereafter. After 1902 the American civil government regarded the remaining guerillas as mere bandits, though the fighting continued. About 1,000 guerrillas under Simeon Ola were not defeated until late 1903, and in the Batangas province, south of Manila, troops commanded by Macario Sakay resisted capture until as late as 1906. There, the rebels’ tactic of burning pacified villages contributed to their own defeat. The United States gained an undisputed control of the Philippines and retained possession of the islands until 1946.

In 1935 when the commonwealth government of the Philippines was established in preparation for independence, Aguinaldo ran for president but was decisively beaten. He returned to private life until the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941. The Japanese used Aguinaldo as an anti-American tool. They caused him to make speeches, to sign articles, and to address a radio appeal to General Douglas MacArthur on Corregidor to surrender in order to spare the flower of Filipino youth.

When the Americans returned, Aguinaldo was arrested and, together with others accused of collaboration with the Japanese, was held for some months in Bilibid priso until released by presidential amnesty. As a token vindication of his honor, he was appointed by President Elpidio Guirino as a member of the Council of State in 1950. In the later years of his life, he devoted his major attention to veterans’ affairs, the promotion of nationalism and democracy in the Philippines, and the improvement of relations between the Philippines and the United States.

It was not until July, 1946, that the Philippines truly became an independent republic and was recognized as such by the rest of the world. It continued under the US sovereignty during the intervening years with control gradually shifting toward Filipino self-government. These various transitional stages of government ultimately led to 1946 when the Filipino dream of foreign independence was finally realized.

It may be noted that the Moros, true to their fierce commitment of independence, as always, successfully resisted any foreign intervention. In fact American servicemen found their .38 caliber hand guns proved ineffective to halt assaulting Moro warriors who were protected by their religion and anting-anting. Therefore, the US government issued .45 automatic weapons as a direct result of the Philippine conflict with the Moros. Additionally, consistent with their heritage and reputation, the Moros of today continue to resist government interference.

ORIGINS OF WING CHUN

The origins of the Wing Chun Gung Fu system are still uncertain to this day. This is particularly due to the lack of written records about Wing Chun in the past, and much of what we know today has only been passed down by word of mouth. Nevertheless, there is a generally excepted version of events. The myth surrounding who designed the system only serves to heighten the mystery and history of Gung Fu.

194

WING CHUN'S HISTORY

THE POPULAR VERSION

In the late 1600's and early 1700's Gung Fu became very popular at the Siu Lam (Shaolin) monastery in Honan Province, China. The Gung Fu exercises were designed to help keep the monks and abbots awake during long periods of mental training and meditation. By exercising their bodies as well as their minds; they developed even further in their spiritual training. The Manchu (non-Chinese) government in the North at the time was deeply suspicious of such activities, believing the monastery to be training an army. They eventually attacked the monastery, burning it to the ground and killing many of the monks and disciples.

A few escaped the attack though, and they are thought to have been Buddhist nun Ng Moi, Abbot Chi Shin, Abbot Pak Mei, Fung To Tak and Master Miu Hin.

Ng Moi hid on Mt. Tai Leung and it was there that she met Yim Yee and his daughter Wing Chun. Wing Chun was a beautiful teenager who had attracted the unwanted attention of a local man. Ng Moi liked Wing Chun and agreed to teach her Gung Fu to defend herself. After training Wing Chun eventually challenged her persistent admirer and beat him in a fight. Wing Chun carried on training in Gung Fu and taught her husband when she married - Leung Bok Chau. He named the system after his wife and passed it on to Leung Lan Kwai. Leung LAN Kwai in turn passed the Gung Fu techniques to Wong Wah Bo who taught a man named Leung Yee Tai. Leung Yee Tai had already learnt a pole form from escaped Abbot Chi Shin, and thus the pole form was incorporated into the system. Leung Yee Tai passed the system to Leung Jan, a doctor of Fatshan, China. Leung Jan became an absolute Master of Wing Chun and defeated many challengers from other styles of Gung Fu. He taught everything he knew to Chan Wah Shun.

195

1950'S AND YIP MAN TO THE PRESENT DAY

Chan Wah Shun taught the system to a man named Yip Man, who attained the highest level of skill within Wing Chun and taught many people, including Bruce Lee in the 1950's in Hong Kong. Yip Man simplified the system, particularly removing the long and complicated names and is mainly responsible for the Wing Chun system as we know it today. He was a superb teacher and taught according to the individual's own skill and knowledge, adapting his approach where necessary. Wing Chun flourished in Hong Kong and Yip Man also passed his knowledge to his two sons, Yip Chun and Yip Ching. They continue the tradition and have themselves many students and instructors under them. Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe, Chief Instructor of the Midlands Wing Chun Kuen, is a representative of Grandmaster Yip Chun. Today, both Yip Chun and Yip Ching continue to teach and pass on their wealth of knowledge through seminars, and their health and vitality is an example to us all.

196

WHAT IS WING CHUN GUNG FU?

Wing Chun was made famous by Bruce Lee. Wing Chun was Bruce Lee's first discipline and the art of Wing Chun is tightly integrated into his style of Jeet Kune Do. The Wooden Dummy is a major component of Wing Chun Training. Wing Chun specializes in the techniques of the hand, whereas many northern Chinese Gung Fu specializes in kicking. Wing Chun combines many short punching techniques designed to reach the opponent faster and more efficiently. Wing Chun was one of the original Shaolin Temple styles and was designed for smaller people to defeat bigger foes. So it is ideally suited for women. Wing Chun [widely translated as 'beautiful springtime' or 'springtime song’] is a Southern Chinese Martial Art, one of the branches of the generic term Gung Fu. Wing Chun is a direct, scientific and clinical style of fighting, in which the attacker is quickly overwhelmed by speed and power. Being a martial art, the fighting aspect is only one part of the whole system, and emphasis is also placed on relaxation and physical health, with Wing Chun practitioners continuing to practice well into old age. This relaxation and health is something which can benefit the practitioner everyday in today's stressful society. The confidence gained from ability is often enough to see the practitioner through conflict, but techniques can be applied in a real self defense situation safe in the knowledge that they work.

197

THE THREE HAND FORMS

Siu Lim Tao is Wing Chun's first form. Translated as 'Way of the little Idea', the practitioner uses the form to study and perfect certain Wing Chun techniques and principles. These include the centerline - the center of the body which must be protected; elbow position; leg strengthening; basic techniques; use of energy (in the last few inches) and body limits. The form is learnt in the class and practiced at home, lasting anything from five to forty-five minutes, with about twenty minutes being the generally accepted time limit.

Chum Kiu (‘seeking the bridge') is Wing Chun's second form and introduces the practitioner to stepping, turning and moving the body in the correct way to face different directions. It also contains some of the Wing Chun kicks, all of which are low for maximum effect and minimum risk.

Wing Chun's last hand form is called Biu Tze, literally translated as 'Shooting Fingers'. Traditionally a secret form only taught to close and loyal students, Biu Tze is the emergency form of Wing Chun, allowing the practitioner to view possible mistakes or wrong positions, and offers solutions to those problems. The third form also allows the practitioner to train his or her elbow strikes, a powerful close range weapon.

Following on from the three hand forms are the more advanced forms of Wing Chun - the Wooden Dummy, the Pole form and the Knife form. All these continue on from the hand forms and progress the training, through correct positioning and use of the weapons, more energy and strength is built up. The Wooden Dummy provides a useful 24hr training tool to use for positioning, footwork and training energy.

198

CHI SAO

THE STICKING HANDS OF WING CHUN

Chi Sao, or 'Sticking Hands', is the backbone of Wing Chun and the training that bridges the forms and free-fighting. Rather than sparring, Chi Sao gives two practitioners the opportunity to test and explore each other's strengths and weaknesses, allowing a unique and unplanned learning process to take place. Chi Sao practice should be viewed as a game rather than a competition. Chi Sao helps to hone footwork, reflexes, positioning, techniques, energy and the automatic response to a situation for which Wing Chun has become famous. Chi Sao has some similarities to Tai Chi's pushing hands.

BRUCE LEE’S RANKING SYSTEMS

There was no ranking in classical Gung Fu, but a color ranking system based on the yin and yang had been devised Jun Fan (Bruce Lee) There are eight ranks in the Jun Fan System and in Jeet Kune Do. Note: the two curved arrows surrounding the yin and yang symbol are omitted for simplicity in illustration. Bruce Lee used this ranking system from 1965 to about 1968. This was both for Jun Fan Gung Fu, the Tao of Chinese Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do. Tacky Kimura was at the highest level with fourth rank. Both James Lee and Dan Inosanto was third rank. This ranking system began about Match 1968, and was disbanded somewhere in 1969. Dan Inosanto reinstated this ranking in his backyard school in 1970 and dropped it out in 1974. The Jun Fan Gung Fu Clan in pursuit of Jeet Kune Do Concepts Ranking system was reinstated in 1988 by Tacky Kimura and Dan Inosanto.

MY VIEW ON JKD

© By Bruce Lee 1962 Some instructors of marital arts favor forms, the more complex and fancy the better. Some, on the other hand are obsessed with super mental powers (like Captain Marvel or Superman). Still some favor deformed hands and legs, and devote their time on fighting bricks, stones, boards, etc. To me the extraordinary aspect of JKD lies in simplicity. JKD is simply the direct expression ones feeling with the minimum of movements and energy. Every movement is being so of itself without the artificialities which people tend to complicate it. The easy way is always the right way, and JKD is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of JKD, is less wastage of expression there is. Instead of facing combat in it such ness, quite a few systems of martial art accumulate fanciness that distort and cramp their practitioners and distract them from the actual reality of combat, which is simple and direct and non-classical. Instead of going immediately to the heart of things, flowery forms and artificial techniques (organized despair) are ritually practiced to simulate actual combat. Thus instead of being in combat, these practitioners are idealistically doing something about combat. Worse still, super mental this and spiritual that are ignorantly incorporated until these practitioners are drifting further and further into the distance of abstraction and mystery that what they do resembles anything from acrobatics to modern dancing but the actual reality of combat. All of these complex nesses are actual futile attempts to arrest and fix the ever changing movements in combat and dissect and analyze them like a corpse. Real combat is not fixed and very much alive. Such means of practice (a form of paralysis) will only solidify and condition what was once fluid and alive. When you get off sophistication and what not and look at it realistically these robots (practitioners that is) are blindly devoting to the systematic uselessness of practicing routines or stunts that lead nowhere. JKD is to be looked through without fancy suits and matching tiers, and it will remain a secret when we anxiously look for sophistication and deadly techniques. If there are really any secrets at all, they must have been missed by the seeking and striving of its practitioners (after all, how many ways are there to come on an opponent without too much form the natural course?) JKD values the wonder of the ordinary and the cultivation of JKD is not daily increase, but daily decrease. Being wise in JKD does not men adding more, but to be able to get off with ornamentation and be simply simple, like a sculptor building a statue not by adding but by hacking away the unessential so that the truth will be revealed unobstructed. In short, JKD is satisfied with one’s bare hand without the fancy decoration of colorful gloves which tend to hinder the natural function of the hand. Art is expression of self. The more complicated and restrictive a method is, the lesser the opportunity for the expression of one’s own original sense of freedom. The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex or mechanical. If we cling to them we will become bound by their limitation. Remember, you are expressing the technique and not doing toe technique. When someone attacks it is not technique number one (or is it technique number two, stance two sections four) that you are doing, but the moment you’re aware that he attacks you simply in like sound and echo without deliberation. It is as though when I call you, you answer me, or when I throw something to you, you catch it, that’s all.

258

THE ART OF

BRIDGING THE DISTANCE AN attack can rarely succeed unless one can “lodge” oneself at the correct distance AT THE MOMENT it is launched. A parry is most likely to succeed if it can be made just as the opponent is AT THE END of his lunge. Many a chance to riposte is missed by the defender stepping back out of distance when he parries. To these examples must be added the obvious importance of choosing the correct measure (as well as time, cadence) when making a counter-attack by stop hit on time hit. The tactical use of changes of measure, that is stepping forwards and backward, should also be studied. Variations of measure will make it more difficult for the opponent to time his attacks or preparation. A fighter with a good sense of distance, or one who is difficult to reach to launch an attack, may often be brought to the desired measure by progressive shortening of a sense of step backward or by the movement known as gaining on the lunge.

259

DISTANCE AS ATTACK The first principle for fastest contact in distance attack is by using the lunge to get at the closet. In kicking: the leaning shin/knee side kick In striking: the finger jab to the eye (Note: Study both the progressive targets chart as well as the progressive weapons chart.) The second principle is economical initial (non-telegraphic) - Latent motor training forwards intuition. The third principle is correct on-guard position to facilitate freedom in movement, ease small phasic bent-knee position. The fourth principle is constant shifting of footwork to secure correct measure (Broken rhythm—to confuse opponent’s distance while control one’s own). The fifth principle is catching opponent’s moment of weakness, physically as well as psychologically. The sixth principle is correct measure for explosive penetration. The seventh principle is quick recovery or appropriate follow-up.

JEET KUNE DO TRAINING AND DISCIPLINE

JEET KUNE DO is training and discipline toward the ultimate reality in self-defense, the ultimate reality in simplicity. A true JKD man never opposes force or gives way completely. Be pliable as a spring. Be the complement not the opposition to opponent’s strength. Make his technique your technique. You should respond to any circumstances without any prearrangement, your action should be like the immediacy of a shadow adapting to a moving object against the sun. Your task is simply to complete the other half of the oneness spontaneously. There is nothing to “try” to do in the final stage of JKD, opponent, self, “techniques”, are all forgotten. Everything simply “flows”. The true art of JKD is not to accumulate but to eliminate. Respond like an echo. Adapt like a shadow. Strike like an arrow. Totality and freedom of expression toward the never changing opponent should be the goal of all practitioners of JKD. When you understand the root of JKD you will know all its manifestations.

The JKD as taught and promoted by the JKD association

Is based on the non – classical, combat modified Chinese – American Gung Fu System with influences from boxing and fencing as it was developed by Bruce Lee and taught and

taught at the Oakland, California JKD School and co – instructed by James Yimm Lee.

THE THREE “R’s” OF JEET KUNE DO

Realistic Relationship of the opponent’s Rhythm.

STRICTLY FOR STREET SELF-DEFENSE

JKD is only for street combat and self-defense. There are no sport aspects, no flowery forms, no acrobatics. JKD is “scientific street fighting.”

NON-CLASSICAL

JKD techniques are simple, direct, and functional, without any traditional, classic maneuvers. There is no chambering or unnecessary movements

INDIVIDUALITY

The original JKD is our base, our nucleus. We still grow by using workable combat techniques from other sources. The HKD practitioner expresses the techniques which fit his/her own physical build, personality, and martial arts background.

HAND TECHNIQUES

The hand techniques (fist and open hand) are some of the fastest and hardest hitting in existence today. They are fast, deceptive and powerful. The JKD hands are a cross of techniques from Wing Chun and Ali’s style of boxing, also using some concepts from fencing.

KICKING

JKD emphasis low level kicking due to its combat aspects. The kicks are quick, strong, and geared to disable an assailant immediately.

BLOCKING

JKD utilizes few blocks and most of those are deflections with evasive footwork.

GRAPPLING

Our extended system of JKD incorporates techniques from Ju-Jitsu such as joint-locks, throws, chokes, and sweeps in order to enhance its street effectiveness.

SIMPLICITY

No flash, no fancy moves, no acrobatics. Keep it simple, keep it effective.

PHYSICAL & MENTAL BENEFITS

JKD training provides physical conditioning, develops balance and coordination, builds up cardio-respiratory endurance and stamina, and helps in confidence, self-esteem, and mental discipline.

January 20, 1920 - December 28, 1972

Before meeting Bruce Lee, James Yimm Lee was already a well known Sil Lum Gung Fu instructor and Iron Palm Master in Oakland, California. He was also an amateur boxer, a bodybuilder, and a welder by occupation. He is responsible for making Bruce Lee’s personal Gung-Fu and Jeet Kune Do training equipment. James was the elder of the JKD clan and was also "second in command" there. He converted his garage to a Jeet Kune Do studio, and conducted Jeet Kune Do and Gung Fu classes to a select group of dedicated students. He leaves behind a legacy of excellence that is still talked about in the Martial Arts community to this day.
