History

Main article: History of the Philippines

The early people on the island were Austronesians who settled in Cebu around 6,000 to 30,000 years ago. They introduced their culture and ocean-sailing technology throughout Southeast Asia, the Polynesian islands and Madagascar. Unlike in the rest of the population in the Philippines, the Austronesian tribal groups, which became the Malay people encountered no Negrito population on the island.

The early Cebuanos held animist beliefs and worshipped anitos (spirits) until the introduction of Islam and later, Roman Catholicism. Muslim traders from Malaysia and Indonesia established trade relations with the Philippines between the 13th and 16th centuries, at the same time introducing their religion to the indigenous Filipino population and being organized into a variety of tribal groups governed by chieftains called datus and rajahs. Both Spain and the United States colonized the island between the 16th and 20th century, achieving its independence from colonial rule in 1946. Today, the islands population forms around 3,850,000 people. There are also some individuals who have Spanish, Chinese, as well as ancestries from other Filipino groups.
