The form of government during the precolonial period was the barangay. A barangay was ordinarily composed of 30 to 100 families and was based on kinship. Most of the barangays were located along the coast but some were located along the plains, foothills, or near bodies of water.

Each barangay had it's own chief who served as it's political leader;a religious leader; who was usually a woman; and an economic leader, usually a blacksmith, who crafted all the metal tools in the community. The political leader was also the military leader whose duty is to preserve peace and order in the barangay.
