ABSTRACT : This essay is a preliminary effort in outlining a history of mathematics in the Philippines. It calls attention to the existence of a highly developed enumeration and arithmetical system prior to the Spanish conquest, and argues that this enumeration system had unique characteristics that distinguished it from other Southeast Asian societies. Other mathematical and scientific ideas, such as the use of geometric concepts and astronomical tools, in the preconquest Philippines are also discussed and presented.
