Answer 1

During the Spanish Period, Manila was the Capital of the Spanish East Indies comprising of the Philippines, Guam and the Marianas. The first known international trade between the East and the West is called the Manila Galleon Trade. It is a route from the Philippines to Mexico via California, which at that time is also part of Mexico.

Answer 2

Balangay used to refer to the smallest political unit among the Tagalogs. The said unit, ranging from 30 to 100 households, was ruled by a chief or datu who was respected and venerated by his subjects.
