Tondo Kingdom

0 5

KINGDOM OF THE Tondo (c. 900 - 1589)

Known as the Tundun, it was one of the most powerful states in the Philippines before the Spanish arrived. It lies northeast of Pasig offshore and has become a center of trade in eastern Asia with the Rajanato of Manila (Yes, Manila and Tondo were separate before the Spanish occupation).

Tondo has retained their state despite several attempts by neighboring states especially Brunei. Tondo has also established its regular trade with China. Manila and Tondo had a dispute over the territory.

The Spaniards came from the Visayas and occupied Luzon. The Battle of Manila and the Bangsukay Channel took place with many locals and Chinese travelers under the leadership of Limahong.

After the occupation of the Spaniards, they conquered the two kingdoms of Manila and Tondo. Limahong's forces conquered Pangasinan as China's base in Central Luzon but the Spanish conquered it.

There was a "Tondo Conspiracy" where the locals wanted to be free again but the Spanish immediately burned it and the Spanish eventually took control of Luzon.

Now, Tondo is only part of Manila.
