They have: Own belief system (Animist Faith) Community organization (Barangay) Farming technology, irrigation, and domestication of animals Medicinal use of plants (Herbal Medicines) Engineering (e.g. Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras) Mining of ores and metallurgy Trade with other civilizations Writing system (e.g. Baybayin) Weapons Sea-going vessels (e.g. Balangay) Musical instruments Tattooing practice (e.g. Batok of the Butbut Tribe) Laws

Summary: It is evident that the development of the Philippine science and technology is a continuous process and is also a product of the different perspectives introduced to us by foreign influences, both colonizing and not. Nevertheless, it is important for all of us to continue marching forward to further improve science and technology for Philippine society.
