What is Tagalog Customs and Social Structure about?
Juan de Plasencia documented the customs and governance of the Tagalogs, emphasizing the influence of his European background. The Tagalog society was organized into barangays led by a datu, with a caste system comprising maharlicas, timawas, and alipins, each with distinct roles and rights. Their cultural practices included unique marriage customs, religious rituals without permanent temples, and beliefs about the afterlife, reflecting a complex social structure and spiritual life.
