In school we learned the various socioeconomic classes of early Philippine society. There were the maharlika (nobles), timawa (freemen), and alipin or slaves of whom there were two classes, the namamahay and the sagigilid. The aliping namamahay could own a house and live away from the master’s house, while the aliping sagigilid had absolutely nothing and stayed in the master’s household.
