HISTORY
PHILIPPINE COLONIZATION BY SPAIN

INTRODUCTION

In 1478, Moslems from the Malayan Peninsula crossed the Malacca Strait and conquered
Java, the capital of Madjapahit Empire. Subsequently, the Malay/ Srivijaya/ Madjapahit
disintegrated. In its place, a Moslem religious government was established inaugurating
the reign of Sultanates.

A family of MAHARAJAHS AND RAJAHS, TAGEAN, was then ruling the

Madjapahit Empire. They retreated and consolidated their position in a group of 7,169
islands, known as the MAHARLIKA (now Philippines) away from the oncoming
Moslems. Being a descendant of royal Malayan blood, the Tagean family had its share of
power, authority and riches from the collected taxes during its 900 Year rule in the
empire, and even two millennia earlier when there was commerce with King Solomon of
Israel.

The Maharajah and his sons, the rajahs, ruled the Maharlika using their own laws, the
CODE OF KALANTIAW. The Maharlika was a very rich and flourishing country. By
the early sixteenth century, the ruling maharajah, Luisong Tagean, had 720,000 metric
tons of gold that he kept in present day Kota Kinabalu, Sabah or North Borneo. At that
time, Sabah was part of the Maharlika.
