Panay

The appearance of these little savages excited the attention of the first Spaniards, and there are many early accounts of them.

Padre Turino, who went as a missionary in 1592 to Panay, begins the narrative of his labors in that island as follows.

Among the Visayas there are also some Negroes.

They are less black and ugly than those of Guinea, and they are much smaller and weaker, but their hair and beard are just the same.

In their hair they wear bamboo combs with long plumes of hair or of the feathers of the mountain cock.

They have curious dances and ceremonies for marriage and for death.

Distribution The Negritos have retired from many places where they lived when the Spaniards first arrived, but there are still several thousand in Luzon, especially in the Cordillera Zambales, and in the Sierra Madre range on the Pacific coast, and in the interior of Panay and Negros, and in Sir Yao of Mindanao.

For this reason most foreign vessels are careful to steer clear of the latter port.

Sugar is chiefly exported from the Visaya Islands, and the trade is almost exclusively via Ilo-Ilo, the largest place after Manila, situate on the island of Panay.

Cebu, the third largest part of the archipelago, does now but a small and steadily declining trade in hemp.

The best tobacco grows in the north of Luzon, in the province of Isabella, and the south of Cagayan, the most northern province of that island, in the valley of the Rio Grande de Cagayan.

In Tayabas, the metal is found in the mountains in the neighborhood of the village of Antamanan.

In Mindanao, where gold has likewise been discovered, it is believed to be present in particularly profitable quantities.

Mindoro, Panay, as well as some other small islands, are also places where the precious metal has been found.

It now remains to inquire into the question whether it would pay to work gold mines at all.

I remember when I was a young high school student, I was fortunately, thankfully, and I still thank God for it, given a task which was to participate in a contest.

I think it was held in Iloilo, the province of Iloilo and the island of Panay in the Visayas, in the central part of the country.

And, well, I was... excited.

It was one of those first times to live and to do things away from my parents, away from home.
