Note: Not only does Legeza record Egyptian and West Asia artifacts in Philippines which he says PROVE the trade,
he also defines the East-West route as he believed in a 2-way trade not just one way. This is definitive not speculation.
p. 131
NOTE: Butuan was KNOWN to have EXTENSIVE
trade with Saudi which reached Egypt.

Note: As of the publishing of our book, Ginto

Learning Resource Center, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Manila. Below is a dictation from Page 45. “Established fact,” “known
to have reached” and a factual representation
of the trip taken by Filipino seaman to Africa is
not speculative but definitive.
P. 45 “Some of the non-Indian borrowed designs found only in their
original sources and in the Philippine area suggest direct linkages with other cultural currents from the Indian Ocean. Among
these are kamagi necklaces (Aldred 1978: 105) and penannular, barter rings which both show Egyptian influence (Aldred
1978: 20, 94). The earliest insular Southeast Asian products
reached the Mediterranean through a port on the Arabian Gulf,
which were transported overland to the headwaters of the Nile,
then shipped down to Alexandria. Austronesian traders are
also known to have reached Madagascar (Miller 1969; Taylor
1976), so the African connection is an established fact.”
