Tagalog maginoo (nobility) wearing baro in the Boxer Codex (c.1590).

Rather, the name was coined to distinguish the dress as native (hence "tagalog", i.e. Indio ), as opposed to the styles of dress of Europeans and other foreign cultures.
This change contributed to the rapid decline of Gracias and the rise of Comayagua as the center of colonial Honduras. The demand for labor also led to further revolts and accelerated the decimation of the native population. As a result, African slavery was introduced into Honduras, and by 1545 the province may have had as many as 2,000 slaves.

The pre-Columbian past of Honduras is still under study and much of it is still an enigma. But the archaeological remains of organized nomadic and semi-nomadic groups date back at least 11,000 to 12,000 years. Although it is possible that there was human presence in the territory much earlier.
Tapis across various cultures in the Philippines may generally refer to a single, rectangular piece of cloth one wraps around oneself as clothing, but is also the term for a colorful, hand-woven wraparound skirt common in the pre-colonial period, and which is still used today as part of the María Clara gown and by culturally conservative tribes.
