"...A staunch defender of the human soul and its connection to morality and spirituality. Considering AI’s lack of a moral compass and spiritual dimension... the ethical implications of delegating decision-making to entities devoid of a conscience... true wisdom and virtue emerge from the depths of the human experience, elements that AI, with its inherent limitations, might struggle to comprehend."

Intro: Ancient Royalty,  A Spanish Colony,  and Gold

About the History of Pila, Laguna. “La Noble Villa de Pila” (The Noble Town)

by Dayang Lia S. Price

There is a 9th-century artifact called the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, a copper plate with an ancient record “hammered into metal” (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 3). The writing is in Kawi, or old Javanese Script. It is the oldest known Philippine document found. The document was translated by a Dutch Anthropologist, Antoon Postma. (Postma, The Laguna Copper-Plate Inscription, pg 7).

The document bears the name of datu Jayadewa, whose name means “divine or royal victor” (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 3). A datu is an indigenous monarch, and his direct  descendants are called the maginoo (ma-gi-no-o), or nobles. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 4.) The female equivalent of a datu is a dayang (queen, princess, lady). Only those who by lineage, parentage, and family could claim royal descent and be called maginoo. (Scott, Filipino Class Structure, pg 5, 6).

Datu Jayadewa was the ruler of Pailah, the ancient name of Pila, meaning “Soil or Stone” (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 2), a town located in the province of Laguna, Philippines. Before becoming a Spanish colony, Pila was “an important center of trade”. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, pg 2).  Foreign traders came to conduct trade through the Laguna de Bay, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 2).

In the document dated 900 A.D., a “confederation of Lakans”, (“paramount leaders” equal to a sultan selected by ruling datus to serve as their “pangulo”, or head), gathered as datu Jayadewa “presided over” a cancellation of a debt in gold of a noble family. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 3). Gold was a “major part of Pila’s natural treasure trove”. In the earliest  cremation site excavated in Pila, gold jewelry was found in the graves, (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 7), along with Tang Dynasty pottery (618-907) containing provisions for the dead to accompany them in their journey to the afterlife, a form of ancestral veneration or worship.

Evidence of a large precolonial settlement were found in an area called Pinagbayanan, or “Where the town used to be located". (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 3) In 1967-1968, archeological excavations found "Pila pottery" (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 3) and Chinese porcelain from the Sung/Song Dynasty, 960–1279, and the Yuan Dynasty, 13th century -1368. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 6). Some of the pottery was donated to the Pila Museum by the ESSO-Elizalde Project. (Prehistory of Laguna (province), wikipedia.)  

Eventually, the old name of Pailah became Pila due to linguistic pronunciation. In 1375, it was ruled by datu Salian Maguinto, the "Gold-Rich datu" of Pila. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pgs 6-7, 8). When Pila experienced flooding from the lake (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 9), the datu "with his own gold" bought new land in an area called "Pagalangan" or "Place of Reverence" from another datu. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 2).

In 1571, the Spanish colonized the Philippines. The Spanish at the time sought out "new worlds" for commerce, and found that the Philippines had gold-rich communities and farmlands. The colonizers had two instructions from Spain: establish "encomiendas", or a system where they could collect taxes "tribute" for the Spanish Crown as a form of new income, and spread Christianity (and they also came for the gold.) 

The Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo “discovered” Pila, and on July 2, 1578, Franciscan missionaries Fray Juán de Plasencia and Fray Diego de Oropesa de San José arrived to convert the population to Christianity. On June 13, 1581, the missionaries built a church dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pgs 8-9).

In 1610, Pila became a Spanish villa (Santiago, Pomp, Pageantry and Gold, pg 1). The Spanish administration gave Pila the title “La Noble Villa de Pila” (Santiago, Pomp, Pageantry and Gold, pg 2), in recognition for its nobility. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 9) and due to "its genteel customs, refined manners and traditions of its people" (Declaration of the town of Pila as a National Historical Landmark.) Colonists and Spanish nobility were "encouraged to settle" in Pila (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 9). Spanish nobility intermarried with the descendants of the datus and lakans of Pila. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 16).

The datu's and maginoo's titles changed to the Spanish  “Don and ”Doña”. They were “raised to the level of Spanish nobility”, making them “privileged subjects of the king”. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 9). They became the Christianized  “Principalia”, the noble, landed ruling class, persons of the “blood royal” and aristocratic birth. Being part of the principalia was “de Juro e Herdade”: a hereditary right, as they could trace their origin to the datu(s), and they were “de privilegio y gratis”,  exempt from paying tribute to the Spanish crown, a privilege granted only to the principalia and a true sign of nobility and part of the aristocracy. (Principalia, wikipedia).

During the 16th and 17th centuries, one of the earliest known leaders of Pila under Spanish Colonial Period was Don Antonio Maglilo (1696-1712), who governed Pila like his father Don Francisco Maglilo (1599), (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 11), the descendant of datu Maguinto.

In 1728, Don Maglilo’s descendant, Don Juan de Rivera, the founder of one of Pila’s most prominent families, the Rivera clan, became mayor of Pila.  The Rivera’s were a “major branch of the Maglilo(s)” and changed their surname to “Rivera”, the “Taga-ilog”, or “People of the River”. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 17).

Don Juan de Rivera married Doña Josepha Thenorio, who descended from Spanish nobility from Extremadura, Spain. The Thenorio family matriarch was Doña Maria Cortés de Monroy, the sister of Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés (1485-1547). (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pg 16). (Writer’s Note: Cortes had relations and a child with the Aztec princess Doña Isabel Moctezuma (born Tecuichpoch Ixcaxochitzin; 1509/1510 – 1550/1551), a daughter of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II, and Cortes’s sister Doña Maria’s descendants married the descendants of a Philippine Pre-Hispanic king.)

Don Juan’s descendant, Don Felizardo de Rivera (1755-1810), governor of Pila in 1792, in his 1810 Last Will and Testament, identifies himself as “Taong Tunai at Maguinoo” (a true maginoo). The document is with the Rivera family of Pila, Laguna.

Pila was moved again due to flooding from the lake,  to Don Felizardo’s Hacienda in Santa Clara, Laguna. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pgs 9, 10). On May 20, 1804, Pila Church was also moved to land at the hacienda. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pgs 10, 11, 13) Today, the 200-plus year-old church is now called the San Antonio de Padua church, which was declared the National Shrine of San Antonio de Padua, contains a relic of the saint and is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. The ruins of the original church are still standing at Pagalangan and have a historical marker as the site of the original church of Pila.

Don Felizardo is considered the founder of the present-day town of "Nueva Pila" ("New Pila") and the town’s designer and architect in the Spanish colonial grid style of city planning. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 12). The Pila Municipal Hall was later built in June 1931, across from the Church, on land previously owned by Doña Corazon Rivera de Del Mundo, daughter of Don Luis Rivera. (Santiago, The Roots of Pila, Laguna, pg 20).

Pila is now a national historical landmark by The National Historical Commission of the Philippines, protected by a Heritage Bill.  The preservation was led by Cora Relova (Don Felizardo de Rivera line) and Monina Rivera (Don Rafael de Rivera line), the founders of the Pila Historical Society Foundation. The declaration was formalized on site with a marker in Pila and attended by former Philippine President Fidel Ramos.

Lia Price (childhood photo: center, with her uncles from the Alava/Antonio Family, another prominent clan, of Pila) is from the direct family line of Don Felizardo de Rivera (Angkan ni Felizardo). Doña Corazon Rivera (1888-1979) is her maternal great-grandmother. Doña Corazon’s daughter Loreto (maternal grandmother) married Ramiro Relova (maternal grandfather), a descendant of Don Felizardo’s brother Don Rafael Rivera. Cora Relova of the Pila Historical Society Foundation is the daughter of Loreto and Ramiro and mother of Lia Price. (Lia's last name Price is from her German-American paternal great-grandfather.)

Contrast & Parallels @scottludwigart & @marnixpostma Last June 12th 2021 Scott Ludwig is a visual artist and Printmaking Area Director in the Art Department at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. His experience and technical interests are wide-ranging. As a printmaker, he embraces a contemporary interpretation of the form and process. Extending beyond works on paper and into hybrid investigations, he explores the convergence of digital media, photography, installation, sculpture, drawing, papermaking, and various other, non-traditional mediums. Marnix Postma is interested in the human psyche and the consequential reaction to geometry and color, especially in spatial installations. The communication between installation and experiencer happens on a more subconscious level and is hard to translate into a description. By making use of the golden section and other spatial rules, he’s conveying a metaphysical message to his audience. #DeBouwput #anarchyinawhitecube #Gallery #ArtistRun #Amsterdam #Broedplaats #Bouw #Kolenkitbuurt #Art #Design #Fashion #Print #Screenprint #Vrij #Culturele #Ruimte #NonProfit #Anarchy #Kunst #Communal #GalleryOpening (at De Bouwput) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQyNDCwFiu0/?utm_medium=tumblr

CANTLON'S CORNER: WOLF PACK OFF SEASON VOLUME 17

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - The summer months are winding down and teams are finalizing their rosters for their respective training camps in North America. Around the world, however, some seasons have already begun. It was another busy week in the hockey world. PLAYER & COACHING MOVEMENT Ex-CT Whale/Wolf Pack Kris Newbury signs with the Brampton Beast (ECHL), the ECHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens after a year in Europe. Ex-Pack, Alexandre Giroux, 37, signs with the Thetford Mines (LNAH) for next season as he winds down his playing career. Ex-Pack, Devin DiDiomete, has gone from SHC Fassa (Italy-AlpsHL) to SG Cortina (Italy-AlpsHL) for next season. Ex-Pack goalie, Miika Wiikman, stays in England, shifting from Milton Keynes Lightning to the Coventry Blaze (England-EIHL). Now an ex-Pack defenseman, Brendan Kotyk, who played seven games last year in Hartford, has signed a deal with Toledo (ECHL). Hershey signed ex-CT Whale defenseman, Logan Pyett to a one-year AHL deal. Pyett was out of hockey for a year batting sarcoma cancer, a bone cancer in his upper thigh. Pyett beat that strain of cancer and has been working his himself back into game shape. The 30-year-old defenseman played last year with the Tokohu Free Blades in Japan in the Asia League Ice Hockey (ALIH) as part of his game training. In 26 games, Pyett scored four goals and 15 points and 49 PIM. Pyett borrowed some playbooks from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms head coach, Scott Gordon, to aid his rehab training. He was supposed to play with the Phantoms two years ago when the cancer was discovered. Should Pyett have a full and successful AHL season next year, he would certainly be a frontrunner for the AHL Hunt Trophy. AHL’ers moving to Europe continues. Zach Sill of the Hershey Bears heads over to play with HC Sparta Prague (Czech Republic-CEL). Paul Postma of the Providence Bruins heads to AK Bars Kazan (Russia-KHL) and Lance Bouma Rockford goes to HC-Geneva Servette (Switzerland-LNA). Yaroslav Dyblenko has already switched teams after leaving Binghamton his contract was traded from St. Petersburg to Spartak Moscow (Russia-KHL) in training camp. The AHL to Euro list stands at 72 players from 26 teams. Three AHL free agent signings. Wayne Simpson goes from Hershey to the Rochester Americans while Chase Balisy, who bedeviled the Wolf Pack the last two years in Springfield with the Thunderbirds signs a one-year, two-way deal with the Ottawa/Belleville Senators for $650K-NHL/$135K–AHL. Six more collegians sign North American pro deals. Brady Tkachuk leaves BU after just one year and signs an NHL entry-level with Ottawa. He can be assigned to Belleville (AHL). He was drafted fourth overall in June’s NHL Draft. Former Terrier teammate, Nikolas Olsson, signs with Adirondack Thunder (ECHL). Jordan Klimek goes from Northern Michigan University (NCHC) to Kansas City Mavericks (ECHL). Joining him in Kansas City will be Brett Beauvais from Robert Morris (AHC), Tim Shoup heads from Dartmouth College (ECACHL) to Orlando (ECHL) and Dexter Dancs goes from the University Michigan (Big 10) to Idaho Steelheads (ECHL). Three more college players are off to Europe in Tanner Jaillet who had the nation’s best GAA at 1.89 with Denver University (NCHC) signs with EHC Wolfsburg (Germany-DEL), Dan Kelly goes from Tufts University (NESCAC) in Boston to Toulouse BHC (France Division-2) and Kevin Loppatto Manhattanville College (UCHC) to Vannas HC (Sweden Division-1) . That makes 30 college players from all divisions to sign in Europe, 178 Division I players have signed North American deals and 235 total who have signed North American and European pro deals. Former Nighthawk, Bud Stefanski, is stepping back behind the bench. Stefanski joins the OHL Sudbury Wolves with his son-in-law, former NHL’er Riley Stillman, as an assistant coach. Stefanski’s grandson, and Stillman’s son, Riley, will be with the Springfield Thunderbirds in the fall. After 12 years in Peterborough, the last six as head coach, ex-Hartford Whaler and New York Ranger, Jody Hull, was named the new associate head coach of the Niagara Ice Dogs (OHL) for next season. Hul played in 831 NHL games over a 16 season career, including 118 with the Whalers and 50 with the Rangers. Former Whaler, Mark Hunter, left the Toronto Maple Leafs to return as the GM of the London Knights (OHL) coached by his brother, Dale. In a very surprising move, Austin Mikesch, the eldest child of former Beast of New Haven forward Pat Mikesch, played with the Nipawin Hawks (SJHL), the team the Humboldt Broncos (SJHL) were heading to play on that fateful day last April. Mikesch has decided to join the Broncos this season. Pat Mikesch is the head coach/GM of the Green Bay Gamblers (USHL). Hlinka-Gretzky Cup results The Canadians captured gold in the five-day Hlinka-Gretzky Cup tournament held in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta this year. The Canadian team defeated Sweden 6-2 in Edmonton last Sunday. The tourney was held in Canada for the first time since 1986. Former Wolf Pack goaltending great, Jason LaBarbera, was part of the gold medal squad as a goaltending consultant. Alexis Lafreniere from Rimouski (QMJHL) scored twice. He will clearly be a top five draft pick next summer. Canada has secured gold 22 times in 28 years in this summer hockey tourney honoring the memory of great Czech great, Ivan Hlinka. The US lost to Russia in the bronze medal game 5-4. Vasili Podkolzin had a hat-trick with two-of-the-three-goals coming on spectacular shots. He led the tournament with eight goals and clearly increased his draft stock for next year. The US's Connor Hughes was a standout and earned a top five-star rating toward the draft as well. Russia's Ilya Nikolayev may have scored an even better goal then Podkozin and Hughes. He first went with a backhand spin-a-rama and the shot got blocked, then he got the puck back and scored to the short-side displaying tremendous agility. ECHL AFFILIATIONS MAP Lots of movements in the Double AA affiliate map for the AHL as the leagues try to sync up with a 31-NHL, 31-AHL, and 31-ECHL pyramid structure being the desired goal. The ECHL is always will be difficult because they fall outside of the current CBA agreement with the NHL and the AHL CBA agreement. The ECHL has its own player agreement. The switches have been numerous with Toronto leaving Orlando and going to St. John’s (Newfoundland Growlers). Orlando then hooks up with Syracuse (Tampa Bay). Meanwhile, the Rangers departed from Greenville to go to Maine (Portland). The Minnesota Wild makes a change too after the Quad City Mallards dropped to the SPHL. They now have a new agreement with the  Allen Americans in Allen, TX. The St. Louis Blues, now in San Antonio, hooks up with the Tulsa Oilers after the Winnipeg Jets left there. The Jets, in turn, hooked up with Jacksonville, FL while Arizona/Tucson is now in Norfolk. Then there's the Colorado Avalanche who have a new AHL affiliate in the Colorado Eagles (Loveland) who now have Utah, who split from Anaheim. Three ECHL teams are without NHL/AHL affiliates. That makes five NHL organizations without a Double AA affiliate. The ECHL cities are Ft. Wayne, Greenville, and Rapid City. The NHL teams without an ECHL affiliation are San Jose, Columbus, Florida, Las Vegas and Anaheim. SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE HOCKEY In Australia, the nation’s capital city team, the Canberra (CBR) Brave, sit atop the short, thirty-game season AIHL as their season comes toward the end. They will then start their Goodall Cup playoffs. Canberra is 20-4-0-0 (W-OTW-OTL-L) for 60 points. The team's leading scorer also tops the AIHL. He is former UCONN Husky, Trevor Gerling. His 18 goals and a league-best 38 assists (56 points), is one better than Perth Thunder’s, Pierre-Luc Grandmaison, as of the start of the weekend action starts. Cheshire native, Rob Malloy, and his Newcastle Northstars teammates are batting his former team, the Sydney Ice Dogs for the fourth and last playoff spot. Newcastle and Sydney ice Dogs are tied at 35 points as the Northstars have a record of 8-9-0-3-4. Malloy in his sixth AIHL season has 21 points in 21 games played with five goals and 16 assists. In New Zealand, the Southern (Queenstown) Stampede, the defending Birgel Cup champions, will seek their fourth straight title next Friday against the winner of this Friday’s semifinal meeting between the West Auckland Admirals and the Dunedin Thunder. The Stampede still has its player-assistant coach in Adam Blanchette (Berlin/Hartford Jr. Wolf Pack). The Stampede topped the Admirals in the short season regular season finishing first with one more win with a 13-0-0-3 record and topped the five-team league with 110 goals for and the best defense surrendering just 44 goals.

NHL free agent signings 2017: Tracking all the contracts

Keep track of all the free agency signings this offseason right here.

The NHL’s last big date of the offseason has passed — the start of free agency on July 1. While the news has slowed down after the rush to sign free agents on Saturday, there will likely be a lot of signings from here on out.

To help you keep track of everything this summer, we have put all the free agency signings in one place! So, when Kevin Shattenkirk inevitably goes home to New York — which he did —- or when Jarome Iginla goes to yet another contender to try to win a Stanley Cup — which has not happened yet — you can see all the deals made right in one spot.

Not only that, we’ll update this all summer long. Yes, even in the doldrums of the offseason we will have you covered.

Regardless, July 1 will likely have a plethora of signings to keep you on your toes. The expansion draft and entry draft were quite clinical, so someone’s got to make a big splash on Saturday, right?

Datus, Dayangs, Lakans, and The Maginoo: The Ancient Nobility

A depiction of a datu in the 16th century. Image source: Boxer Codex (datu, wikipedia, public domain)

Ancient Filipino Royalty (Dugong Bughaw - “Royal Blood”):

Datu: Ruler, Chief/Leader Principales (Spanish). A datu must be a member of the maginoo class (Scott, Filipino Class Structure, Pgs 4, 5, 6 ).

Dayang: The female equivalent of a datu is a dayang (queen, princess, lady).

Maginoo (pronounced Ma-gi-no-o) - Noble (principal) by lineage or parentage, family and descent (from a datu), birthright aristocracy (Scott, Filipino Class Structure, Pg 5 ). Only those who by lineage, parentage, and family could claim royal descent and be called maginoo.

Lakan: "Paramount datu", "selected by other ruling datus from among themselves to serve as their pangulo (head)".

The datu controls the land and use of the land. For instance, the ruler of Pila, Laguna purchased (territory/irrigated land) in gold from its former chief and charged rentals to his own maharlika for their own use (Maharlika are freemen who were also the warrior class in Laguna who provided military service to the datu). The datu receives services, share of harvests, and respect from his people (the "katunguhan" or "those who go along") who show deferential behavior by covering their mouth with their hand when addressing the datu or the maginoo. (Scott, Filipino Class Structure, Pgs 5, 9 ).

The datu holds political office, and has a "duty to render judgement in any lawsuit filed from his followers, hears sworn testimony and hands down a decision, governs his people, leads them in wars, and "succors his people in their struggles and needs" (provides assistance and support in times of hardship and distress). If 4 or more datus live in the same (barangay or pueblo), they obey the wealthiest of them. The datu position is only passed down through the male line - father, son, brother). (Scott, Filipino Class Structure, Pgs 6, 7, 8, 9)

2. Datu Salian Maguinto, the “Gold-Rich Datu” of Pila. (Santiago, Ancient Pila, pgs 6-7, 8)

Today, the Tagalog equivalent of Lord would be “Gat” and Lady would be “Dayang”.

Scott's research also made use of Fray Juan de Plasencia's Relacion de las Costumbres que los indios se han tener en estas islas. Fray Plasencia was one of the first missionaries who arrived in the Philippines on July 2, 1578, and did missionary work in Pila and the province of Laguna. (Scott, Filipino Class Structure, Pg 2).

"La LLave, primer trennio, cap. 4: "a la provincia de la Laguna, al pueblo de Lumbang, fue el padre fray Juan de Plasencia, predicador, y al pueblo de Pila el padre fray Diego de Oropresa, confesor, y desde alli corrian los dos las serran_as hasta Tayabas y toda la 'silangan' de la Laguna." (LIFE AND WORKS OF FRAY JUAN DE PLASENCIA by Fr. Jose "Long" D. Gutay, OFM, OFM ARCHIVES - PHILIPPINES)

The Principalia of Pila, Laguna, are of ancient noble ancestry.

Datu or Lakan refers to the chief ...and the noble class (to which the Datu belonged, or could come from)... the Maginoo Class. One could be born a Maginoo, but could become a 'Datu by personal achievement. - familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/Datu

"Proofs of Filipino royalty and nobility (Dugong Bughaw) must be demonstrated only by blood descent, that is, one has to have Filipino blood in his veins, and must be a descendant of ancient Filipino royal or noble families" - familypedia.wikia.org/wiki/Datu

From esquiremag.ph: Datus, Rajahs, and Sultans: How Wealthy and Powerful Were the Pre-Colonial Filipino Nobility? Filipinos, commoners and nobility alike, wore gold jewelry as everyday accessories.

Don Felizardo de Rivera, a Maginoo (Maguinoo) and Founder of "Nuevo" Pila, Laguna (the town of Pila where is stands today). Don Felizardo is a direct descendant of Don Juan de Rivera, the original founder of Pila, Laguna in its original location. Don Juan de Rivera is in turn a direct descendant of Datu Maguinto (Maglilo).

Pila in The Laguna Copperplate Inscription (LCI)

The Laguna Copperplate Inscription or LCI, now kept in the Philippine National Museum of Anthropology. (Image source: wikipedia, public domain)

The LCI names the town Pai lah. (Image source: Santiago)

Santiago Interpretation:

The Laguna Copperplate Inscription is the oldest written record in Philippines history.

It bears the "Saka-year 822" (900 AD).

It is inscribed in early Kawi script. (Old Malay, Sanskrit and Old Javanese).

It was translated in 1991 by Dutch Anthropologist Antoon Postma. (Postma, Antoon. “The Laguna Copper-Plate Inscription: Text and Commentary.” Philippine Studies, vol. 40, no. 2, 1992, pp. 183–203. JSTOR, jstor.org/stable/42633308)

The document focuses on Pailah and its leader Jayadewa, who "presided over a high profile case involving the cancellation of a debt in gold incurred by Lady Angkatan.

It was found in 1989 in nearby Lumbang, Laguna, Philippines.

It names the town of "Pailah" and Pulilan, "which almost certainly refer to Pila and Pulilan" (Puliran).

Postma asserted that Puliran was probably located in modern-day Bulacan, "Pulilan, along the Angat River north of Manila." (Postma, Antoon (April–June 1992). "The Laguna Copper-Plate Inscription: Text and Commentary". Philippine Studies. Ateneo de Manila University. 40 (2): 182–203. JSTOR 42633308.)

But per Philippine Historian Luciano P. R. Santiago, "the places cited in Bulacan are nowhere as significant in Philippine prehistory and archeology as those in Laguna" and that Pulilan was "another chiefdom" which is "now the Barrio of Bulilan which was adjacent to Pailah."

According to Santiago, Pulilan was the old Tagalog name for the Western portion of the Laguna de Bay, "the huge body of water near where Pila lies together with Lumbang." Laguna de Bay is the largest freshwater lake (9,000 hectares) in Asia. The "entire lake was called Dagatan ng Bae in Tagalog", and the Spaniards would translate it as "Laguna de Bae". ("Laguna" means lake in Spanish. Bae means "Noble Lady" as pre-Hispanic Filipino women had high status.)

Some scholars believe that the LCI "points to Bulacan rather than Laguna", but the places cited in Bulacan are "nowhere as significant in Philippine prehistory and archealogy as those in Laguna".

Tiongson Interpretation

According to Pila Historian Jaime F. Tiongson, the place names Pailah and Puliran "are more likely to refer to places close to where the plate was found in Lumbang given that archeological findings in nearby Pila show the presence of an extensive settlement during precolonial times." (Tiongson, Puliran)

In Tiongson's book Ang Saysay ng Inskripsyon sa Binatbat na Tanso ng Laguna (The Laguna Copperplate Inscription / LCI written in Tagalog with some Sanskrit), the Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala (Vocabulary of the Tagalog language) was used to prove that the language used in the LCI was not old Malay but old Tagalog. The dictionary was also used by Philippine Historian William Henry Scott in "Sixteenth-century Tagalog technology" (Hornedo).

According to Tiongson, based on the use of the dictionary of old Tagalog in Pila, if the LCI was found in Laguna, the old kingdom of Pailah is in Pila, Laguna and not in Bulacan (Tiongson, Ang saysay ng inskripsyon).

The Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala is the first dictionary of the Tagalog language in the Philippines, written by Franciscan friar Fray Pedro de San Buenaventura and published in Pila in 1613. The Franciscans used the dictionary to communicate with the ancient people of Pila in order to catholicize them.

Pailah is Pila by Jaime F. Tiongson

A letter dated October 10, 2005 to Cora Relova of the Pila Historical Society Foundation from Dutch Anthropologist Antoon Postma. In the letter, he writes about “being happy that (Cora) was able to obtain a facsimile copy of Fray San Buenaventura’s Vocabulario de Lengua Tagala and how he had been working with it. He also wrote about sending Cora documents about the Laguna Copperplate Inscription (LCI). Dr. Postma was also happy that Jaime Tiongson was working on the new interpretation of the LCI such as the location of Pailah, Pila’s ancient name." Image from Cora Relova Archives.

CANTLON: PACK - BRUINS CLIFF NOTES LOSE 6-3

CANTLON: PACK - BRUINS CLIFF NOTES LOSE 6-3

      VERSUS     

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings FIRST PERIOD PROVIDENCE, RI - The Hartford Wolf Pack had a rough start in part because their lineup had lost two players before they left for Providence. Forwards Matt Beleskey and Steven Fogarty were both recalled by the New York Rangers to play in their regular-season finale Saturday afternoon at 3 pm in Philadelphia. The first two Providence goals came 1:11 apart. Anton Blidh got behind the defense and took a perfect lead pass from a former University of  Wisconsin standout, rookie Cameron Hughes. The pass went up the right wing boards and from the off-wing side snapped his eleventh of the season past Pack netminder, Alex Georgiev. That was followed by the recently named AHL All-Second Team All-Star, Austin Czarnik who took the puck from rookie Dawson Leedahl and fed Casey Fitzgerald. He spotted a wide-open Jordan Swarz in the lower left wing faceoff circle. Swarz blasted his 21st of the season to Georgiev's short-side. Georgiev had no chance and the shots on goal read 9-2 Bruins. The Pack crawled back to make the shots more respectable. The period ended with a 14-10 margin favoring the home Bruins. Vince Pedrie, Evan Jasper, and John Albert had two shots apiece. SECOND PERIOD The Bruins scored on the power play at 2:58 and made it a 3-0 lead. Simsbury native and former Westminster Prep star, Tommy Cross, was at the right point. He started a perfect passing sequence sending the puck to his defensive partner Paul Postma on the left wing boards. Postma hit Czarnik with a diagonal pass on the right wing. Czarnik quickly hit a wide open Fitzgerald who was alone in front for an easy redirect for his 18th of the season. The Bruins' fourth goal came via some puck luck. After Czarnik’s shot on net was blocked, Ryan Gropp turned to start a rush out of the zone. Gropp collided with defenseman Ryan Lindgren and the puck popped out to an open spot in the ice. Fitzgerald was right there for the P-Bruins to bury his second of the period and 19th of the season from 25-feet with a laser shot past Georgiev. The Bruins tallied their fifth goal while on a delayed penalty. Brandon Crawley was going to receive either a kneeing or an interference call on the Bruins' Adam Payerl. The puck came loose went off the stick of Colton Hargrove and rookie Trent Frederic, just three weeks out of college hockey, drilled home his third goal  of the season getting it past Georgiev at 10:42. Head Coach Keith McCambridge had seen enough and swapped Georgiev for Marek Mazanec in the net. Twenty seconds later, the Pack lost Hubert Labrie for the night. He was hit with a five-minute major penalty for boarding rookie Joona Kopponen. The call came just a few seconds after Kopponanen came charging and hit Labrie. Most of the hit, was a miss so nothing was called. Labrie’s hit, meanwhile, was from the side and in reality was more of a minor call for boarding than a major. The PK did the job not allowing Providence to add to their lead. THIRD PERIOD For two-thirds of the final period, the Pack controlled the play. After amassing only 19 shots through two periods, they held a 12-4 advantage before they finally put two past Zane McIntyre in a 55-second span. The first came with one second left on a powerplay chance. The Pack had strong passing on the right side from Adam Tambellini to Dan DeSalvo over on the left wing. DeSalvo's pass to Chris Bigras saw him let a hard wrist shot go from 55 feet out with Boo Nieves in front with a screen in at 14:40. The Pack made it 5-2 as defenseman Brendan Kotyk won a one-on-one battle in the Wolf Pack right wing corner. Kotyk sent Vinni Lettieri on a break-out with a short pass off the boards. Lettieri came into the Bruins zone and put a shot toward the net. Forward Drew Melanson broke to the net and redirected the puck. Gropp was also charging to the net and banged in his 12th goal of the campaign into the short side of McIntyre. It seemed like the Pack was on their way to mounting an improbable comeback. 18 seconds later, The Bruins squashed that idea when Czarnik tallied his 22nd of the year and finished the hat trick. Czarnik received a pass from rookie Jack Studnicks, who was making his pro debut (Oshawa-OHL). He was flat on his back after being tripped by Cole Schneider in center ice. There was no call on the play. Defenseman Vince Pedrie backed off giving Czarnik room. He took advantage going to the right-wing faceoff circle and ripping a beautiful wrist shot over Mazanec’s left shoulder and popped the water bottle for the Bruins sixth goal at 15:53. The Wolf Pack, who doubled their shot total from the first two periods, saw Lindgren launch shot number twenty, a slap shot from the left point, beat McIntyre cleanly. For Lindgren, it was his second pro goal and came at 18:16 and closed out the scoring. The 6-3 loss to the Bruins was the Pack’s third straight loss. NOTES: Of the 20 skaters the Pack put on the ice, 12 of them were rookies. The Bruins had nine in their lineup. The Pack’s fourth line was Evan Jasper, Drew Melanson and David Hallisey of Wethersfield, who was making his pro debut. Jasper and Melanson recorded their first pro points. Scott Kosmachuk missed just his second game of the season as a result of injury (the November 4th game against Providence) and with Fogarty on recall, head coach Keith McCambridge named two new assistant captains. They were forward John Albert, and defenseman Hubert Labrie, who were both acquired from the Hershey Bears in the deal that saw Pack team captain, Joe Whitney go the other way. McCambridge pulled Georgiev for the sixth time this season. The 21 shots in the third period by the Pack was their second highest this season. They registered 23 against the Springfield Thunderbirds in the third period of a 5-4 loss on December 30th.  Though it's not yet been announced, the Wolf Pack have signed forward Jason Salvaggio from the University of New Hampshire Wildcats (HE) to an ATO contract. Steven Fogarty will make his pro debut against the Flyers on Saturday. Fogarty is a native of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, near the Maryland border. The afternoon game will help him to be able to watch his alma mater ND Fighting Irish play Ranger teammate Neal Pionk’s University Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs in the NCAA title game Saturday night in St. Paul, MN.
