Sampaguita flower initially is named after "Sumpa kita" (Our Promise). The words “Sumpa kita” evolved as “Sampaguita” that signifies an everlasting love (WowParadisePhilippines, 2007).

Paoay Church façade & buttress is similar to Borobudur & Prambanan temple respectively (Lazaro, 2014). Both temples are built during Medang Dynasty (Indonesia) whose legacy is the Srivijaya Empire & Mataram Kingdom.

Initially, Philippines is thought to be culturally isolated from the rest of Asia, until the finding of Laguna Copperplate Inscription which tells the relationship between Tondo (PH) & Medang (Mataram) (RI) in 900 CE (Leonard, 2001). Basically, Medang have salary-related debt with Tondo amounting to 865 grams gold. My hypothesis the debt is related to temple-making as at this era, Ind0nesia is under-going rapid growth of temple construction, he wants to be the center of Buddhist & Hindu learning in SEA.
