The history of the Philippines between 800 and 1685 begins with the arrival of the Sri-Vijayan Expedition to Luson in 800 and ends with the dissolution of the Lakanate of Lusong in 1685 by the Spanish Empire and the beginning of Spanish Colonization. During this historical time period, the Philippine archipelago was home to numerous city-states, kingdoms, and sultanates and was a part of the theorised Indosphere and Sinosphere.
Sources of precolonial history include archeological findings, oral traditions, records from contact with the Song Dynasty, the Bruneian Empire, Japan, and Muslim traders, the genealogical records of Muslim rulers, accounts written by Spanish chroniclers in the 16th and 17th century, and cultural patterns which at the time had not yet been replaced through European influence.
Part 0: The late Pre-history of the Philippines
Since at least the 3rd century, the indigenous peoples were in contact with other Southeast Asian and East Asian nations. The fragmented ethnic groups known as the Sinaunas established numerous city-states formed by the assimilation of several small political units known as barangay each headed by a Datu (still in use among non-Hispanic Filipino ethnic groups) and answerable to a king or a chief. When the Sa Hayun Period ended, these barangays merged into different Chiefdoms, Kingdoms and Thalassocracies, and the arrival of Hinduism and Buddhism in the islands in the 5th Century promoted the unifications further. By the year 600, numerous prosperous centers of trade had emerged, including the Chiefdoms of Zabag in Pampanga and Wak-wak in Appari, the Barangays of Tundun and Tangway which flourished alongside Manila Bay, Sialo in modern day Cebu, Dewata in Butuan, and finally Sanfotsi in Pangasinan. Most of these polities would continue to act independent from one another and would participate in inter-island trades with one another, that was until the year 800 when a Sri-Vijayan Expedition led by Admiral Jayadewa reached the islands. This event is universally considered by most scholars to mark the end of the Prehistorical period of the Philippines.
