Ancient and pre-Spanish Era:<br />

It is believed that the first inhabitants of the <strong>Philippine</strong>s arrived<br />

over many thousands of years ago. It is commonly thought that<br />

they migrated over a land bridge, which existed at that time, from<br />

the Asian mainland.<br />

The next known inhabitation is when the Negrito or Aeta arrived<br />

in the islands. However, they were driven back by several waves<br />

of immigrants from Indonesia, only to be followed by the maritime<br />

peoples of the Malayan islands.
