Yes, in fact, all human beings on the Earth were civilized before the Europeans arrived. It is a mistake to believe that only Europeans are civilized.

Does Filipino time speak well of Filipinos?

Actually, Filipino time came from the Spaniards who conquered the Philippines a long time ago. Before the Spaniards came to the Philippines, the Filipinos didn't have any official time like what we have today, for them its morning, noon and night, and they only depend on the season, the phases of the moon and the position of the sun to tell them when to sleep, work or retreat to their kubos (Nipa huts) heck, they don't even own a clock! The Spaniards dislike this and called them lazy and labeled their behavior in time, Filipino time.


What are the first alphabet used by the people from tabuko before the Spaniards came to the Philippines?

Before the Spaniards colonized the Philippines, the natives are quite literate and they have their own alphabet what is now known as "Baybayin" (see link). And yet when the Spaniards landed, they called the natives "Indio" meaning uncivilized. Because women don't wear top-clothings. But why would they. The Philippines being near the Equator is a very hot and humid country. And also because, the natives eats with their hands. This is still practice today. I myself eat with my hands when I'm home. How else can you commune with foods. The Filipinos revered their foods, because for us to eat, some fauna or some flora would give up their life. But today, because of refrigeration and mechanized farming, foods are no longer appreciated or revered. We take everything for granted. BTW, the name 'INDIO" is what is "INDIANS" to the NorthAmericans (USA).
