1. Who is Juan de Plasencia? When did he serve in the Philippines Islands? Fray Juan De Plasencia wrote the custom of Tagalogs born to the illustrious family of portocarreros in Plasencia in the region of Extremadura, Spain in the early 16th century. He was one of the seven children of Pedro Portocarrero, a captain of a Spanish schooner. He was a Spanish friar of the Franciscan Order. He was among the first group of Franciscan missionaries who arrived in the Philippines Islands. He arrived in the Philippines in July 2, 1578, after a stopover in Mexico. As soon as he arrived, he joined forces with another missionary, Fray Diego de Oropesa, and they both started preaching around Laguna de Bay and Tayabas, Quezon, in Quezon Province, where he founded several towns. 2. How did he describe the hierarchy of people in the barangay? According to him, the pre-Hispanic Filipinos did not possess a high level of social organization. Although they lived in small communities called the barangays, it did not guarantee an organized socio-political and religious network comparable to European standard nor to the Aztecs and Incas of the Americas. The communities were scattered all over the many islands of the archipelago. And the natives were mostly farmers or fishermen, and occupied an area where they could easily farm, hunt and fish. The friars discovered it too difficult to pursue a systematic

instruction especially for the neo-converts. However, their six months’ stopover in Mexico gave this first Franciscans in the Philippines a chance to experience -not only theoretically but in practice, as well- the methods employed by the brothers there [68] and this provided them a solution on how to remedy this problem. The solution was the reduction system, i.e., to "reduce" or "re-settle" the natives in central locations. 3. Which particular precolonial policy or rule stood out to you? Why? The particular pre-colonial policy or rule that stood out to me is Status of women for the reason that women in pre-colonial Philippine society had a right to inherit property engage in trade and industry and succeed to the absence of a male heir, and also have the exclusive right to name her children that men walked behind them as a sign of respect

4. What does Fr. Plasencia's account reveal about the religious and spiritual beliefs of the early Filipinos? According to the accounts of Fr. Juan de Plasencia, the early Filipinos adored the stars, although they did not know them by their names, as the Spaniards and other nations know the planets– with one exception of the morning star, which they called Tala. 5. What are the reasons of the natives for offering sacrifices? They offer sacrifices particularly, human sacrifice which is the act of killing one or more humans as part of a ritual, usually intended to please or appease gods, spirits or the dead ancestors, such as a propitiatory offerings or as a retainer sacrifice when a king's servants are killed in order for them to continue to serve their master in the next life....
