"Claiming their descendance from a marriage between Gat Amaron and Dayang Po Inahan[2], the monarchs of Tondo-Namayan (and their immediate relatives) carried the clan name Haringadlaw and belived they have the divine right to rule the whole Luzon (and later, most of the Philippine islands) as living gods and expected respect and tribute from the local rules outside their direct area of influence, as expected in a typical Southeast Asian mandala state. Beyond this mythmaking, both the archaeologists and historians believed that the Haringadlaw clan, and the rest of the Tondo-Namayan people in general, is a product of intermarriage between Bornean/Malayan immigrants and a group of tribes who speak a direct descendant of proto-Philippine language (or for some, the proto-language itself)."

Passage from the contrarian, but rising in popularity, history book by Robert Bautista, Establishment of the Philippines: Connections between Cham, Malayan, and proto-Philippine Peoples. Robert Bautista, a British-Filipino historian living in South Australia, claims that the Philippines actually were host to native/semi-native monarchies, rather than ruled by the Empire of Japan since time immemorial. American and German historians have not been allowed to review or publicize his work, due to the moratorium on historical study in Japanese-ruled territories, so only academia within the Spanish-Australian alliance have been able to comment. So far however, this thesis is about equally favored compared to the thesis that Philippine civilization was established by Chinese Muslims arriving during the fall of the Srivijaya empire. Ultimately, only the fall of the Empire of Japan will allow further study of Philippine archaeology and origins.

Attributed to Pericles, before the signing of the Alliance of Corinth against the growing Theban hegemony. The Alliance of Corinth allowed Sparta to recover from the grievous losses it had suffered in the Argolid against Thebes while securing the Southwestern flank of the Attica, allowing Athens to break into the Thebaid.
Two generations later, the fighting would resume, but on much less heated terms, between the Athenians and Spartans, with the conflict gradually taking on a ritual connotation, until being crushed under the successive jackboots of the Illyrians, the Romans and finally of the Galateans.
