King Phillip ll of Spain, in a law signed on June 11, 1594, commanded that these nobles be given the same respect, and privileges that they had before their conversion. They later formed part of the exclusive, and elite ruling class, called the Principalia (Nobility), in municipalities of the Philippines. Cuyo settled by native cuyunons who were then mixed Chinese and Vishayan Malay become the center of Palawan Barter trade starting in 1300's.
They (being Malayan adn Chinese) become very good ship builders, seaman and traders. Innate into their being, they are very good sailors. This is because Cuyo is a tiny island being surrounded by big islands of Mindoro, Panay, Negros and Palawan within the Famous Sulo Sea. The Cuyunons have nowhere to go but yo the sea by fishing and sailing. the island of Cuyo is very popular place among Chinese.
