Iba’t ibang uri ng sandata
Part of 'Pilipinas sa larawan' (Philippines in images), a cartoon depiction of historical events, the illustration depicts different types of ancient weapons used in the Philippines, such as the pana at busog (arrow and bow), sibat (spear), and many types of handheld blades, like the sundang, kris, and kampilan. The caption explains that these weapons, along with various shields, animal hides used as clothes, or small cannons, were discovered by the Spaniards who arrived in Manila, Taytay, and Cainta, and that were still used by indigenous peoples, like the Moros and “forest people”.The simultaneous use of descriptors “nuong una’ (in ancient times) and ‘taong gubat’ reveals the use of chronological distinctions to imply civilizational differences between peoples existing in the same time period.
