Principalia (English spelling)

Japanese: プリンシパリーア(英語表記)Principalia
Principalia (English spelling)
Meaning elder in Spanish. Refers to the indigenous elite under colonial rule in the Philippines. Originally they were the leaders of the barangay, but under Spanish rule they were reorganized, and village heads retired to become elders, from among whom the town mayor (gobernadorcillo) was chosen. Thus, although they were indigenous, they were at the very bottom of the colonial administrative structure, and their power was limited by the Spanish district priests.

スペイン語で長老の意。フィリピンの植民地支配下における先住民のエリートをいう。本来はバランガイの指導者であったが,スペインの統治下で再編成され,村長をつとめた者が引退して長老となり,そのなかから町長 (ゴベルナドルシリョ) が選ばれた。彼らはこのように先住民でありながら植民地行政機構の末端に位置していたが,その権力はスペイン人の地区司祭によって制限を受けた。
