Tondo

Tondo was a Tagalog and Kapampangan polity on the northern bank of the Pasig delta on Luzon. It appeared in the Laguna Copperplate Inscription of 900 and was governed by a paramount chief called a lakan.

Tondo and Maynila controlled Chinese goods passing through Manila Bay. In 1571 Lakan Dula came to terms with Miguel López de Legazpi, while Tarik Sulayman's resistance was crushed at Bangkusay Channel. Tondo lost its independence; in 1587 and 1588 Agustín de Legazpi and Magat Salamat led a failed conspiracy against Spanish rule.
