Great ancient cities and architecture

Ayuttaya was once the largest city on Earth and European vistors called it "The Venice of the East"

Many of our ruins used to be huge building with gold coating on top

Thats why southeast asia is called "suvarna bhumi" or the "land of gold"/"the golden land"

Why didn't the Philippines built any grand cities like the rest of it's neighbors?

Have you ever been to Borneo or Sumatra? Is it true that they used wood for construction for lack of stone, so they didn't leave behind great edifices like Angkor Wat? It's fascinating to think that actual complex civilizations existed there without any permanent buildings.

Keep in mind that Phillipines wasn't a concept back then

Just a backwater of the Malay archipelago

They did have a couple Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms though.

The were just starting out. Who knows, if the spics never came they might have become great kingdoms
