[edit] Did you know

• ...that the Sandugo or Blood Compact, where two people drink a small amount of each other's blood, was a traditional way to formalize treaties of friendship in the Philippines?

[edit] Is it just Filipino?

The blood pact is a staple feature in many Chinese kung-fu movies. Borisblue 07:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. It's appreciated. It is not within the scope of the article, though.--Pinay06 06:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

If someone does an article about the history of blood compacts the world over and its significance among different cultures, I'm sure that information would be important. That information however is outside the scope of this article but if the general blood compact article is ever created, I'm sure this article would then be noted to signify one of the more famous blood compacts in history.

[edit] love this article

i really like this article. but i'm hoping there are citations from on-line sources for further reading, because i don't have the resources to buy those books.RebSkii 06:50, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Your suggestion is considered. --Pinay06 07:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

i think the content of the footnote section should be put in the references section. that's why i previously asked for online sources, because when i first saw this article,i just read the paragraphs i didn't notice that there are on-line citations. footnotes are supposed to be explanatory or clarificatory in nature. my best regards!

Done! Thanks.--Pinay06 18:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A suggestion

I came by from the GA page and wanted to say that, as a person who'd never heard of the sandugo before, the first sentence of the article was a little hard for me to understand. It reads more of a description of what the sandugo was like and less what it is. For me it would make more sense if it were something more like "The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in native Bohol style, which was made between the traveling Spanish explorer Miguel (etc) and Datu Sikatuna (etc) in 1565." I also think moving that memorial plaque up towards the top of the article would be a good idea.

[edit] Good Article

I find that this article meets the good article criteria. It is well-written, well-sourced and cited, makes good use of images, and covers its topic broadly and in significant depth. Some further copyediting to tighten up the prose might be possible. PhilipDM 21:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
