Warai-Warai woman in pose.


Natural beauty 

[ben]

The Warai were the famously warlike tribe of pre-spanish times, correct?  A friend of ours from Leyte could be described as warlike - a very strong woman!  Perhaps it's inherited

I'd love to read the history about that era - the stories of the different peoples of the Philippines.  Saw some stuff on Wikipedia, but here's very little detail.  Apparently the people of Bohol were fond of tattoos.
Can anyone recommend a good book about it?

Yes. The Warai-warai people of samar, leyte and pintuyan island were masters of the sea, Ben, many of whom became pirates who attacked and raided coastal villages of present day Bohol, Bool, Cebu, the Luzon coasts and Mindanao. They utilized a form of indentured servitude to those who they captured in their raids and forced them in agricultural slavery even in forming ranks of their war parties. The warai-warai people hold similar semblance to the Vikings of Northern Europe. Warai-warai tend to have larger bone structure as well; take myself for instance--as I have warai blood in me, my physical phenotype is that of a large boned and framed man--same as my father and his side of the family (who hail from Leyte and Samar--where the blood of the Warai is strong). Compared to my mother's side--who is of Boholano and Chinese ancestry--are much smaller in stature.

Prior to Spanish times, the people of the Visayas feared the Warai; the Lords of the Seas.

It is even argued to this day by historians and anthropologists that Raja Lapu Lapu was Warai-Warai himself as the areas of Eastern Cebu (including Mactan) were heavily colonized by the Warai Warai (a powerful and seafaring people). And it was the Warai-Warai of Mactan who slayed the famous Conquistadore, Don Fernando de Magellan (Ferdinand Magellan) in 1521.

[ben]

Thanks for the information Lorenzo.
It does sound like they were analogous to the Vikings.  Not the nicest people to meet if you lived in their times, but interesting for us to read about today.

Snippet from the ebook:

In the island of Bohol is one herb of
such nature that the natives approach it from windward when they cut
it from the shrub on which it grows; for the very air alone that blows
over the herb is deadly.

what the hell is that plant?  I'd better be careful in the garden!

wahahhahahhahhahahhahahhahha

Ben u r funnnnyyyy!!!

wahahhahahahhahhahhha

[Lorenzo]

You are more than welcome, Ben. Glad that you are interested in Filipino history, it is a very interesting history, one that is filled with discourse. Prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, the Philippine Archipelago was composed of multiple kingdoms or Rajanates which was ruled by a local Raja (King) and beneath him was the dimunitive Datu-Datu who's role is similar to that of the English Baron, or Noble Lord. The titles were hereditary. And these multiple rajanates and sultanates warred with one another, for the prize of ownership of rice land, sea ports, trade, and slave trade.

It was the Spaniards who forcefully conquored the whole archipelago and forced the whole population to assimilate. The reason why the Warai-Warai have retain this stereotype of being 'war-like' is because multiple rebellions in the Leyte-Samar hinterland took place during Colonial days. 'Hot blooded'. Perhaps there is some truth to the old stereotype. Perhaps there isn't. Who knows.

One thing is for sure. It generates interest in the Warai.

Ben, did you know that the ancient Bol-anons used to pierce their penis's? It was a form of male machismo, they would take a small bamboo pipe and pierce the penis vis-a-vis a longitudinal cut and the bamboo pipe would be placed in the opening; and retain presence. This was one thing that was observed by Legaspi when he arrived in Bohol. After the entire region was subdued and placed under Spanish ecclesiastical authority, this form of branding and piercing was outlawed outright.

Would you believe there are some guys still doing a similar thing?  Recently I learned that an acquiantance of mine had got into a bit of trouble after inserting some kind of seed underneath the skin of his 'banana' (I believe that is the correct TB word for it).  It caused a nasty infection.  I've also heard that ball bearings and stones are used similarly.
aray indeed!

[hazel]

YEs, I heard it, too. A friends boyfriend who is a seaman told me about it.

He said, it adds more pleasure in sex. LOL!

[Lorenzo]

haahahahaha aray indeed, Ben. Yes its amazing that people these days still practice that; I know that here in the states there are men who are into that stuff--and pierce their genitals (the penis as well as the scrotum) as part of artistic show and for personal reasons. For me, whenever I see the National Geographic Channel and see the native indians of South America with wholes on their bottom lip--with  a wooden drum inserted in the hole, I gasp at such a sight. It is amazing for me that my own ancestors of Bohol utilized a much grotesque version of 'beauty show'; genital piercing.

I personally cannot fathom to my wildest dreams of ever allowing that done on me. I would scream in pain.

[ben]

Lorenzo - It's a pretty common practice all around the world - so no surprise that our ancestors (and even some contemporaries) do it!
Ginger - Because it's a common worldwide phenomenon there must be some truth in the notion that it provides more stimulation to the intil.  Ahh, what sacrifices men make for their partners!

[ms da binsi]

Ben i learned that seeds or tiny bolitas inserted to the penis' skin, is an ancient practice for pleasure ...i just cant imagine the pain before where anaesthesia was not yet discovered when they use PAKANG style, aauuggghhhaahhhh!!!

Indeed. Personally I would never sacrifice that much.
Nope. No way.
