Abstract
Linguistic, genetic, and archaeological evidence indicate that the Philippines has been inhabited by humans for many thousands of years. By what means the earliest settlers arrived in the archipelago is still a mystery, but a growing body of evidence points to the likelihood that they possessed seafaring technology. If so, then modern Filipinos -- who are even now making their first tentative steps into space -- are heirs to a rich heritage of exploration, the story of which has yet to be fully told.
