About this listen
Who were the mysterious Lequios described by Portuguese explorer Fernão Mendes Pinto? Were they peaceful tributaries from Okinawa’s Ryukyu Islands… or a sovereign, seafaring power in Luzon?
In Peregrinação (~1558), Pinto describes ships that were:
⚓ Vast, ocean-faring, multi-decked
⚓ Built with double-thick planks fastened by iron bolts
⚓ Armed with warrior crews, stronger than Chinese junks
⚓ Both traders and fighters — not just ceremonial emissaries
Ryukyu’s small tribute junks simply don’t fit. But pre-Hispanic Philippine ships — the Karakoa and Balangay — match perfectly. Archaeology, chroniclers, and cultural history confirm it.
This is another smoking quill of evidence that the Lequios were Filipinos, not Ryukyuans.
