    How did politics and governance evolve in the Philippines?

    The government of the Philippines gradually evolved from the pre-colonial form (barangay) to our present form of
    government.

    The ruler of the barangay (datu)


    The roles/powers of the Datu
    1. Chief Executive
    2. Chief Legislator
    3. Chief Judge

    When the Spaniards colonized the country in 1565, they re-organized the barangays into tows and municipalities for easy
    administration and management.
