Pulilu was a prehispanicbarangay centered at present-dayPolillo, Quezon[1] and was mentioned in the Chinese Gazetteer Zhu Fan Zhi 諸蕃志 (1225).[2] It is described as politically connected to the polity ofSandao "三嶋" in theCalamianes which itself was of lesser rank to the larger country ofMa-i "麻逸" centered in Mindoro.[2] Its people were recorded to be warlike, and prone to pillaging and conflict. In this area, the sea is full of coral reefs, which have wavy surfaces that resemble decaying tree trunks or razor blades. Ships going by the reefs must be ready to make sharp maneuvers to avoid them because they are sharper than swords and halberds. Red coral and blue langgan coral are also produced here, however they are quite difficult to find. It is also similar toSandao in local customs and trade products. The chief export of this small polity are rare corals.[2]
