TOPIC: CUSTOM OF THE TAGALOG (DOWRY)

Dowries are given by the men to the women’s parents. If the latter are living, they enjoy the use of it. At their death, provided the dowry has not been consumed, it is divided like the rest of the estate, equally among the children, except in case the father should care to bestow something additional upon the daughter.

TOPIC: CUSTOM OF THE TAGALOG (BURIAL)

Their way of burying the dead was as follows: the person was put to rest next to his house, and if he was a chief, he was put to rest under a small house or porch that they built just for that purpose. Before they buried him, they cried for four days. Then, they put him on a boat that served as a coffin or bier and put it under the porch, where a slave stood watch. 

And if a woman died while giving birth, both she and the baby were punished, and she could be heard crying at night. The name for this was patianac.
