Best Answer

the federation of the barangays during the pre-Spanish period was evident and one of the oldest confederations was the "Confederatio of Madya-as" which was established by Bornean datus. It was composed of the settlements of Hantik (Antique) Aklan and Irong-Irong (Iloilo) and was under the overall rule of datu of ancient Panay. The rulers of bigger barangays assumed thev title of rajah or lakan.

Perhaps the primary reasons why early barangays were formed was because of mutual protection against enemies and subsequent marriage of the lakambini (princess) and the lakan (prince) of different barangays which eventually led to the unification of some barangays. Barangays relations were established because of intermarriage of persons in one barangay to other barangays. Friendship with each other was usually sealed by the traditional ceremony, the blood compact, called sandugo (one blood) and anchored on mutual respect and alliance. The participating parties in the compact drew blood from their arms and mixed the blood with wine and drank from the same cup.
