Philippine Historical Eras

The pre-colonial Philippines was led by leaders called datus who ruled autonomous barangays. Early Filipinos practiced animism and some converted to Islam after Arab traders arrived. The revolutionary period saw nationalist movements inspired by Rizal and Bonifacio seek independence from Spain through organizations like La Liga Filipina and the Katipunan. During the Japanese occupation, Filipinos resisted the imperial forces through guerrilla groups like the Hukbalahap while awaiting the Allied liberation and the country's independence from foreign rule.
