Aguhon: a Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal 1 Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal About the Journal A. Objective of the Academic Journal In accordance to the mission and vision of the Asian Institute of Maritime Studies (AIMS) to become the “Home of Maritime, Engineering, and Heritage Knowledge Exchange” in the country, (AIMS) Museo Maritimo established Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal. This academic journal serves as a research platform for maritime history and heritage related topics and issues. The academic journal intends to promote a culture of inquiry on maritime related topics in order to further discover and understand the Philippines as a maritime nation. As a research platform primarily for maritime related topics, the academic journal seeks to publish articles across the whole range of topics and issues concerning maritime related subjects, but with a particular focus on the following subject strands: Maritime History and Heritage Maritime Industry Maritime Laws and Seafarers' Rights Naval Architecture and Engineering B. Background of the Academic Journal Aguhon is a Tagalog translation of a compass. Since the locus of (AIMS) Museo Maritimo is maritime heritage and history, the adoption of a compass to signify the academic journal complements the identity and story of the museum. A 1 Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal compass is a necessary instrument for navigation. It guided sailors through centuries. In conjunction to the purpose of a compass, Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal also intends to support and navigate maritime related studies in the Philippines. 2 Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal Organizational Structure The organizational structure of Aguhon is based from the traditional organizational structure of the already established academic journals around the world. However, since the editorial board of Aguhon lacks the necessary background to peer review the submitted articles, the task of the editorial board is limited to copy-editing and proofreading. Aside from copy-editing and proofreading, the editorial board are also in charge in managing and facilitating the entire operations of the academic journal. A. Editorial Board Structure Editor: Mr. Daryl Lorence P. Abarca Layout Artist: Mr. Kingsley Franco 3 Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal A Letter from the Editors Dear Reader, It is with great pride and honour that we present the first volume of Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal. There are a lot of approaches in understanding the Philippines as a nation. Some scholars framed their understanding based on the dialectical progression of class struggle while others within the teachings of the church. However, there are no consensus regarding the rightful interpretation. In our case, given that the locus of Museo Maritimo is the maritime legacy of the Philippines, the content of Aguhon revolves around the Philippines as a maritime nation. It covers articles regarding the maritime history and heritage of the Philippines particularly in the early Philippine history prior the Spanish arrival. The whole editorial team of would like to express our deepest gratitude and regards for sharing with us your time in appreciating the rich maritime legacy of the Philippines. We will treasure your perseverance and commitment in reading the first volume of Aguhon. For the team, it is the highest form of appreciation and recognition. We would also like to send our gratitude to our authors who painstakingly study their respective themes and topics. Their efforts and struggles enabled us to finalize the first volume and fill it with rich and different themes. Above all, we will forever be indebted to them for joining us in our endeavor of providing 4 Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal an interdisciplinary platform for the exchange and dissemination of maritime history and heritage research and thereby spreading the wonders of the Philippine maritime past. Without their cooperation and commitment, the entire first volume of Aguhon will not be possible. Lastly, none of this will be possible without the support of our President and Executive Director Dr. Arlene Abuid-Paderanga and Mr. Ronel M. Gillesania. We would also like to express our gratitude to Mr. Jasper Christian L. Gambito for his efforts in writing the articles during his tenure as the museum curator. The direction and diligence they provided were crucial in the redesign and production of the journal. In summary, we would like to express our gratitude for the support of our authors, the Office of the President and the AIMS community. On behalf of the entire editorial team, we would like to thank you for joining us in our endeavor of spreading and experiencing the vast wonders and richness of the Philippine maritime history and heritage. We hope that you will enjoy the wonderful work of Museo Maritimo.

Located on the sixth floor of the Asian Institute of Maritime Studies building on Roxas Boulevard, Museo Maritimo claims to be the first to offer a comprehensive chronicle of the Filipino’s life at sea—starting with a man believed to be from Cebu who may have been the first to circumnavigate the globe ahead of any Westerner. Antonio Araneta, a scholar who led the research, said the project was long overdue considering that the Philippines provides a significant number of seafarers for today’s global shipping industry. “Some 1.3 million overseas Filipino workers are seafarers, and our history is basically determined by maritime events. We thought that if we are going to understand history better, we have to understand how maritime trade brought about the country that we call the Philippines,” Araneta told reporters at the recent soft launch. A pair of doors with round windows—like those on ships— leads visitors to Museo Maritimo which took nine months to build and will formally open to the public in August. Inside, around a floor area that could fit two basketball courts, the walls are painted ocean blue. 8 Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal A statue of a Franciscan priest, known only in history as Odorico, welcomes visitors with outstretched hands. He celebrated the first Holy Mass in the country in Bolinao, Pangasinan, in 1324, together with Chinese traders and Italian missionaries, contrary to popular knowledge that the first Mass was held in Limasawa (now part of Southern Leyte) in 1521, Araneta said. Also on display are detailed models of Spanish galleons that plied the Manila-Acapulco trade route, along with reproductions of navigation maps that cover the Philippines from that era. Another section shows ancient ship artifacts like binoculars, beacons and sextants. Titanic Souvenir Though it departs from the theme of the museum, one item is sure to grab history buffs: An original menu from the legendary RMS Titanic, the proud luxury liner that sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. Araneta said the item was on loan from his personal collection. A similar memento detailing the last meal served on the ill- fated ship fetched more than $118,000 or about P5 million during an auction in the United Kingdom on April 1 this year. But the museum trains its main spotlight on a local hero, a man called Enrique de Malacca, who entered history books as the companion of Ferdinand Magellan when he made the voyage to the Philippines in search of the Spice Islands in 1521. A statue of Enrique based on descriptions given by Magellan’s chronicler Antonio Pigafetta stands amid panels piecing 9 Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal together his story as the man who may have been the first to circumnavigate the world. Araneta said that based on research, Enrique was originally a native of Cebu who was captured by the Moros and later sold as a slave in Malacca (now a city in Malaysia). When Magellan invaded Malacca almost a decade before reaching the islands that would become known as the Philippines, he took Enrique with him to Europe. ‘Language Geiger counter’ “In his quest to find another route to the coveted Spice Islands, Magellan brought Enrique to serve as his ‘language Geiger counter,’ a linguist, to find his way back to the islands,” Araneta said.

  • Re-Assessing the 'Balangay' Boat Discoveries
    A National Cultural Treasure Revisited – Re-assessing the ‘Balangay’ Boat Discoveries Roderick Stead1 and Dr. E Dizon2 Abstract The discovery of the balangay boats in the Butuan area of Northern Mindanao was arguably the most important find in pre-colonial maritime archaeology throughout island South East Asia. This class of vessel was well known from the accounts of early Spanish visitors to the Philippines, such as the Pigafetta journal of Magellan‟s voyage, but no extent examples had been located until the 1970s. As a by-product of an organised excavation of a settlement at the mouth of the Agusan River, a wave of illegal pot-hunting began in the Butuan area. As these ships had no commercial value they were reported to the National Museum. A total of 11 vessels were reported as discovered between 1976 and 1998, under some 2 metres of silt. In recent years a replica of a balangay boat has been built in the Philippines and it carried out a number of trial voyages in South East Asia. This replica is due to be put on show for the public in Manila. The first vessel discovered was conserved and is exhibited on site. A second ship was excavated and is on display in Manila in a partially reconstructed form. A third vessel and portions of a fourth have been excavated and are stored in pieces on site. The National Museum is planning to reopen the site in order to record in detail the remaining ships, to trace the stylistic developments of these vessels, and to test the dating evidence.

Ia telah wujud lebih lama daripada mereka yang perahu, pelaut, lebih dipopularkan dalam bidang ini – Phoenicians, Greek, Rom, Arab dan perdagangan, juga Vikings. Ketika masyarakat benua sibuk mencipta pelbagai kenderaan di maritim, darat dengan penciptaan roda, masyarakat Melayu sudah boleh Nusantara menyeberang laut dengan perahu-perahu mereka. Sejak air laut meningkat kesan daripada pencairan ais di kutub dan glesiar di benua, sekitar 10,000- 6,000 tahun yang lampau, orang Melayu telah mula memikirkan alat pengangkutan mereka lantaran mereka telah terkepung di pulau-pulau akibat kenaikan paras laut dan tenggelamnya Benua Sunda. Justeru terciptalah pelbagai jenis perahu dan alat pengangkutan air yang dapat membantu pergerakan mereka. Sejak zaman itu, orang Melayu telah mampu menguasai laut sekitarnya. Ketika orang-orang Phoenician dan Mesir baru pandai berbahtera di pesisir laut tertutup Mediterranean dan Sungai Nil, orang Melayu telah melayari samudra luas; Teluk Benggala, Lautan Hindi dan Lautan Pasifik. Sekitar abad ke-2SM perahu-perahu Melayu yang besar-besar telah berlabuh di pantai timur India dan tenggara China, sementara masyarakat bertamadun tinggi lain baru sahaja pandai mencipta perahu-perahu sungai dan pesisir. Pada mulanya perahu-perahu Melayu hanya digunakan untuk memberi perkhidmatan pengangkutan hinggalah masuk abad ke-4 apabila komoditi tempatan Nusantara mula mendapat permintaan di peringkat perdagangan antarabangsa. Pelbagai jenis rempah ratus, hasil hutan dan logam diangkut oleh perahu-perahu itu untuk menyertai perdagangan dunia yang sedang berkembang.

  • 1 Introduction in January 1992, Jeremy Green
    Introduction In January 1992, Jeremy Green (Department of Maritime Archaeology, Western Austral- ian Maritime Museum, Fremantle) and Paul Clark (Northern Territory Museum of Arts and Science, Darwin) were awarded an ARC grant for a project entitled The maritime archaeological, historical and ethnographic investigation of maritime technology in the pre-modern period, particular reference to Asian built ships. The project, included Pro- fessor Ken McPherson (Indian Ocean Centre For Peace Studies), Dr Robert Parthesius (Nederland bouwt VOC Retourschip Stichting, Lelystad, Netherlands) and Dr Peter Burns (Department of History, University of Adelaide) as associate investigators. The project employed two part-time research assistants: Tom Vosmer and Karen Millar. A series of field projects have now been undertaken and this report describes the progress of the work, the aims and achievements and the proposals for the future. THE PROJECTS 1 Philippines Achievements: One three week field project (Vosmer, Clark and Green) investigating shipbuilding centres in the Sulu area and documenting the remaining two Butuan Boats in Mindoro. In addition, a report on the Butuan Two boat was completed (forthcoming International Journal of Nautical Archaeology) and an interim report on the 1992 field project has been published. Objectives: to complete the publication of the two remaining Butuan Boats—1994 and possibly collaborate with the National Museum on a future excavation of another Butuan Boat site. 2 Maldives Achievements: One ten day field project (Millar, Green, Vosmer) documenting boat building in Malé and Alifushi. Publication of interim report by Millar (Bulletin Australian Institute of Maritime Archaeology, 17.1: 9–16). Objectives: complete full report on shipbuilding techniques with a comparison of Indonesian parallels in conjunction with Birningham (1994) and possibly an additional field season in 1994 looking at shipbuilding in the southern atols.

  • 78, 1987. the Butuan Archaeological Finds
    Man and Culture in Oceania, 3 Special Issue: 71 – 78, 1987. The Butuan Archaeological Finds: Profound Implications for Philippines and Southeast Asian Prehistory. Wilfredo P. Ronquillo1 Recent archaeological discoveries in northeastern Mindano, Philippines, specifically in the vicinities of Butuan City, Agusan del Norte (Fig. 1), may well be unparalleled in Philippine and Southeast Asian pre/protohistoric research. The archaeological potential of the area is only now being realized, mainly because of the archaeological data generated recently by the activities of pothunters, limited systematic excavations by the National Museum, and analyses of archaeological materials during an ASEAN Workshop in Archaeological Excavation and Conservation held in November 1987. Prior to the recovery of trade ware ceramics from Butuan City, the oldest known evidence for such materials in the Philippines dates to the Song Dynasty (960-1279 A. D.). The recovery of Yueh and Yueh-type wares from the midden layer of the Butuan sites is significant since it is indicative of earlier trading activity with other Southeast Asian countries, perhaps as early as the period of the Five Dynasties (907-960 A. D.). Wooden coffins buried with associated trade ware materials dating to the 15th century A.D. serve as direct evidence of the temporal range in which the Butuan sites were used, first as habitation areas and later as burial places (Peralta, 1980). It was, however, with the recovery in the late 1970s of two large plank-built and edge- pegged wooden boats at the Butuan sites that the significance of the area to Philippine and Southeast Asian pre/protohistoric research, notably in the sphere of prehistoric maritime trade, was consequently realized (Peralta, 1980: Scott, 1981).

    20 MARCH 2021, SATURDAY Headline STRATEGIC March 20, 2021 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article DENR's Cimatu wants Boracay rehab program extended for another year Published March 19, 2021 4:34pm BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan —Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu said Friday that he is planning to ask President Rodrigo Duterte to extend the Boracay Island rehabilitation program for another year. Citing delays in rehabilitation work due to the COVID-19 restrictions, he said he wants to double down on the rehabilitation efforts as several things still need to be done to complete the island resort's restoration. Cimatu pointed out that rehabilitation efforts have suffered so much delay due to the pandemic. EDNR's top man was on Boracay Island to lead the meeting on the continuation of Boracay rehabilitation activities. He said that the Boracay rehabilitation task force is supposed to end its term this coming May, with still a lot of things to be completed. Among the projects that Cimatu wants to do is to build housing units in Malay for workers in Boracay. Also, he said he is planning to clear the island of illegal settlers. In 2018, President Duterte, in Proclamation No. 475, ordered the temporary closure of the world-famous island resort due to pollution. In one of his speeches in 2018, Duterte even called Boracay, along with Manila Bay, as a "cesspool." On 26 April 2018, Boracay was closed for a six-month rehabilitation project. And on 26 October 2018, it reopened to foreign and local tourists.
