Ramayana, Diwata, Maharlika

This is a sculpture located in Ubud Botanical Gardens in Bali, Indonesia that featured ape warriors in battle against Ravena, the demon king of Lanka from the Hindu epic RAMAYANA.

In the classic Epic, RAMAYANA hero Rama together with his allies and aided by Hanuman the mighty leader of Varana's (ape-like humanoids) built a man-made (or ape-made) bridge that linked mainland India with the island of Lanka (present day Sri Lanka) popularly known as the Ram Setu Bridge, to save his beloved wife Sita from the bondage of Ravena.

Intriguingly, the Ram Setu Bridge actually existed, and still completely above sea level until it broke after a cyclone in 1480, even to this day!

The undeniably created (even curved elegantly so) Ram Setu Bridge, believed to have taken place during the Hindu timeline Tredha Yuga about 1,750,000 years ago, not contradictory for Humanity's ancestors were yet evolving from apemen by then.

Bali in Indonesia, is also known as Pulau DEWATA or "island of gods".  The ancestors of the Balinese people were citizens of the Hindu influenced Majapahit Empire of East Java when the kingdom's priests, royalty, craftsmen, artists transplanted with the psread of influence of the Malacca Sultanate in 1478.  The Maharajahs and Rajahs, the royal Family of the Majapahit Empire hoever, returned into the kingdom of MAHARLIKA (present day Philippines).  By the 16th Century the kingdom of MAHARLIKA was a prosperous and flourishing country with the ruling Maharajah Luisong Tagean (of whom the term Luzon originated from) with his sons Rajah Soliman of Manila and Rajah Lapulapu of Mactan, and to the south the Rajah Kulambu of Mazzaua and Rajah Siagu of  Butuan and Caraga in Mindanao, and their relative Rajah Humabon of Sugbu in the Visayas, the Sultanate of Sulu, and furthermore the prosperous and ancient, highly civilized peoples of Zamal island that the Spanish fleet of Portuguese navigator, Magellan first encountered by 1521.

The discovery of the Laguna Copperplate dated 900 AD mentioned of the Chief of  Medang, Indonesia being a representative of the Chief of DIWATA in Butuan, Mindanao.  By that time, Medang or Mataram Kingdom was a Hindu-Buddhist Kingdom that fluorished in the 8th-10th Century based in Central Java and later in East Java that preceded the Majapahit Kingdom.

It becomes very interesting that the name DIWATA signified important role during the reigns of the Medang, Majapahit, and Maharlika Kingdoms.

Merdicas from Moluccas

An interesting event of Maharlikan history about the Merdicas (meaning "men of the sea" or "free people" ) from Moluccas from the blog of Danny V. Leonera;

excerpt:

Noted for their bravery. The Merdicas were Malays from Ternate in the Moluccas Archipelago, who volunteered to come to Manila along with the Spanish garrison that was pulled out of the Island by Spanish Governor General Manrique de Lara in 1662 to reinforce the defenses of Manila in preparation for a threatened invasion by the Chinese pirate-patriot Koxinga, after he had conquered Formosa from the Dutch. To forestall the repetition of the disastrous Limahong invasion of 1574, the Spanish governor-general ordered the withdrawal of Spanish forces from Zamboanga and the Moluccas and concentrated them in Manila, ready to repel the Koxinga attack. Fortunately for the city residents, the Chinese warlord fell ill and died before he could make a good threat.

Under an agreement with the Spanish governor general the Merdicas were required to provide protection against attacks by Moro pirates, and in return for their services they were taken to the Barra de Maragondon because of frequent Moro raids in that area. The Merdicas chose as a site of their new homes a place near the mouth of the Maragondon River, calling it Gala-la, derived from the name of a tree grew there. They set up a watchtower on top of a hill which they called Mira.

Aside from fishing, the Merdicas cleared the land and tilled the soil. They eventually intermarried with the natives of neighboring villages, building up a community that grew up rapidly and expanded. The most prominent families of the community bore surnames Pereira, Estuebar, De leon, Ramos, De la Cruz, Nigoza, and Ninofranco.
In 1850 the burgeoning Merdica population were able to build from their own funds a stone church, a casa real (tribunal or municipal building), and a school house Under the leadership of Florencio Ninofranco, the community became a regular pueblo or town, and they named it Ternate in memory of their ancestral birthplace in the Mollucas. Pablo de Leon, a wealthy Merdica leader, became the first gobernadorcillo of Ternate. Another source says that Ternate was separated from Maragondon and became an independent municipality in 1863.
