History: added information that was actually relevant to tondo. whatever info was once here is misleading because it was a vague piece of information copypasted all around pages of precolonial tagalog polities, but each of these tagalog polities did not have the exact same agricultural and aquacultural practices and it varied from place to place. we must practice being more specific. i was able to find some info and found out that tondo was a predominantly aquacultural community
