Ma-i
Mait (also spelled Maidh, Ma'I, Mai, Ma-yi, or Mayi; Baybayin: ; Hanunoo: ; Hokkien ; Mandarin ), was a medieval sovereign state located in what is now the Philippines. Its existence was first documented in 971 in the Song dynasty documents known as the '' History of Song'', and it was also mentioned in the 10th-century records of the Bruneian Empire. Based on these and other mentions until the early 14th century, contemporary scholars believe Ma-i was located either in Bay, Laguna, or on the island of Mindoro. Research by Fay Cooper Cole for the Field Museum in Chicago in 1912 showed that the ancient name of Mindoro was ''Mait''. Mindoro's indigenous groups are called ''Mangyans'', and to this day, the Mangyans call the lowlands of Bulalacao in Oriental Mindoro ''Mait''. For most of the 20th century, historians generally accepted the idea that Mindoro was the political center of the ancient Philippine polity.
