#that painting fucks so hard i saw it a while back#on my dads side im both native american and filipino and its like. damn. the spanish really did us dirty.#the us govt too lol#colonization#also just nitpicking words idk if 'mostly naked' is appropriate bc this was sufficiently clothed for the culture and time period#its hard to tell from the tumblr pic but lapulapu has full body tattoos which is a reason why loin cloths were the clothing of choice#tattoos and the headband/scarf and jewellery would denote status and achievement#this was not the case across all the cultures that make up what is now called the philippines#his dress here is similar to what has been documented during the time period of those events#also if were gonna take a modern viewpoint on historical dress then that opens up the argument that... theyre on a beach#(joking lol. im just saying 'wearing a loincloth' is a better phrase than implying inappropriate dress)#(especially when colonizers would use perceived immodesty against indigenous people)#also why did op photoshop out the signature lol i thought it was cropped but i just realized its photoshopped#i know the blog post put a watermark but there are other sources i can find that also show the signature#(so maybe not op but someone intentionally took off the signature. smh)#u know what lemme put the other source too before i hit reblog#seriously tho why do ppl do that its not like the signature was intrusive or anything#manuel panares#lapulapu#native
