maharlika
The ''Maharlika'' were the feudal warrior class in ancient Tagalog society in Luzon the Philippines translated in Spanish as ''Hidalgos'', and meaning freeman, ''libres'' or freedman. They belonged to the lower nobility class similar to the ''Timawa'' of the Visayan people. In modern Filipino, however, the term itself has erroneously come to mean "royal nobility", which was actually restricted to the hereditary ''Maginoo'' class.
==Etymology==
In various Indo-Malayan languages (including the languages of the Muslim areas of the Philippines) the cognates ''mardika'', ''merdeka'', ''merdeheka'', or ''maradika'' mean "freedom" (as opposed to servitude).〔
The Merdicas (also spelled Mardicas or Mardikas), whose name comes from the same etymon, were also the Catholic natives of the islands of Ternate and Tidore of the Moluccas, converted during the Portuguese occupation of the islands by Jesuit missionaries. A number of Merdicas were resettled by the Spanish in the communities of Ternate and Tanza, Cavite, Manila in 1663.
