"The Lucoes are about 10 days' sail beyond Borneo. They are nearly all heathen; they have no king, but are ruled by groups of elders. They are a robust people, little thought of in Malacca. They have two or three junks, at the most. They take the merchandise to Borneo and from there they come to Malacca.
"The Borneans go to the lands of the Lucoes to buy gold, and foodstuffs as well, and the gold which they bring to Malacca is from the Lucoes and from the surrounding islands which are countless; and they all have more or less trade with one another. And the gold of those islands where they trade is of a low quality-indeed very low quality.
"The Lucoes have in their country plenty of foodstuffs, and wax and honey; and they take the same merchandise from here as the Borneans take. They are almost one people ... they are a useful people; they are hardworking…." It has been suggested that the Lucoes is actually Luzon. Northern Luzon is primarily inhabited by the Iloko (Ilocanos, spanish). Roughly translated I-lokos means "Person from Locoes"

| Manansala: Social hierarchy in Pampanga I'm not sure what to do with this reference, which is a personal blog, true, but which is based on sources I cannot directly confirm. But I'm putting it here for future use. It's the best collection of etymologies of prehispanic noble class titles I've seen thus far.
