Rajah Sulaiman I
''Pengiran'' Seri Laila (), or ''Panguilan'' Salalila in Spanish records, was a pengiran or married member of the Bruneian royal family and was the uncle of Sultan Sayf ul-Rijal of Brunei. By the 1570s, he had much involvement with the Kingdom of Luzon and Brunei's Castilian War. His name is now often found as the surname "Salalila" from Tagalog and Kapampangan regions of Luzon in the Philippines. Based on perceived similarities between the names, he is sometimes also called Sulaiman I ( Abecedario: ''Súláiman'', from Arabic: ''sulaiman'' سليمان) in the belief that he shared the name of his supposed grandson, Rajah Sulayman. Oral traditions cited by Odal-Devora (2000) identify him as a son of the legendary Dayang Kalangitan and Gat Lontok. Genealogical traditions cited by Majul (1973) claim that he converted to Islam from the Tagalog religion as a result of the missionary efforts of the Sultanate of Brunei. Salalila's rule ended when he died some time in the e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pengiran
The Malay language has a complex system of styles, titles and honorifics which are used extensively in Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia and Singapore. Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, few provinces in the Philippines and several provinces in Indonesia regularly award honorary and life titles. What follows in this article is specific to the Malaysian system. References to Brunei and Indonesia are given when pertinent. In Malaysia, all non-hereditary titles can be granted to both men and women. Every title has a form of address which can be used by the wife of the title holder. This form is not used by the husband of a titled woman; such a woman will bear a title which is the same as a titled man. Former usage Singapore, whose Malay royalty was abolished by the British colonial government in 1891, has adopted civic titles for its leaders. Much of the Philippines was historically accustomed to the usage of Malay titles by its royals and nobles, such as Raja Sulayman and Dayang Kala ...

Islam In The Philippines
Islam in the Philippines is the second largest religion in the country, and the faith was the first-recorded monotheistic religion in the Philippines. Historically, Islam reached the Philippine archipelago in the 14th century, through contact with Muslim Malay and Arab merchants along Southeast Asian trade networks, in addition to Yemeni missionaries from the tribe of Alawi of Yemen from the Persian Gulf, southern India, and their followers from several sultanates in the wider Malay Archipelago. The first missionaries then followed in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. They facilitated the formation of sultanates and conquests in mainland Mindanao and Sulu. Those who converted to Islam came to be known as the Moros, with Muslim conquest reaching as far as Tondo that was later supplanted by Bruneian Empire vassal-state of Maynila. Muslim sultanates had already begun expanding in the central Philippines by the 16th century, when the Spanish fleet led by Ferdinand M ...

Rajahnate Of Maynila
Maynila, also known commonly as Manila, was a major Islamic Tagalog '' bayan'' ("country" or "city-state") situated along the modern-day district of Intramuros in the city of Manila, at the southern bank of the Pasig River.Abinales, Patricio N. and Donna J. Amoroso, State and Society in the Philippines. Maryland: Rowman and Littlefield, 2005. It was considered to be one of the most cosmopolitan of the early historic settlements on the Philippine archipelago, fortified with a wooden palisade which was appropriate for the predominant battle tactics of its time. At the northern bank of the river lies the separately-led polity of Tondo. Maynila was led by paramount rulers who were referred to using the Malay title of "Raja". In popular literature and in history texts from the first few decades after Philippine independence, precolonial Maynila is often referred to as the "Kingdom of Maynila", and its Rajas portrayed as "kings," even if they did not exercise sovereignty i ...

Indian Cultural Influences In Early Philippine Polities
The Indian influences in early Philippine polities, particularly the influence of the Srivijaya and Majapahit thalassocracies on cultural development, is a significant area of research for scholars of Philippine, Indonesian, and Southeast Asian history, and is believed to be the source of Hindu and Buddhist elements in early Philippine culture, religion, and language. Because the Indonesian thalassocracies of Srivijaya and Majapahit acquired many of these Hindu and Buddhist elements through Indianization, the introduction of such elements to early Philippine cultures has sometimes been referred to as ''indianization''. In more recent scholarship, it is termed ''localization'', as in, e.g., localization of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. Some scholars also place the Philippine archipelago within the outermost reaches of the Indosphere, along with Northern Vietnam, where the Hindu and Buddhist elements were not directly introduced by Indian travellers.

Paramount Rulers In Early Philippine History
The term ''Paramount Ruler'', or sometimes ''Paramount Datu'', is a term used by historians to describe the highest ranking political authorities in the largest lowland polities or inter-polity alliance groups in early Philippine history, most notably those in Maynila, Tondo, Pangasinan, Cebu, Bohol, Butuan, Cotabato, and Sulu. Titles of paramount rulers in different Filipino people groups Different cultures of the Philippine archipelago used different titles to refer to the most senior datu, or leader, of the Bayan or Barangay state. In Muslim polities such as Sulu and Cotabato, the Paramount ruler was called a ''Sultan''. In Tagalog communities, the equivalent title was ''Lakan''. In communities which historically had strong political or trade connections with Indianized polities in Indonesia and Malaysia, the Paramount Ruler was called a ''Rajah''.

Cainta (historical Polity)
In early Philippine history, the Tagalog ''bayan'' (; "country" or "polity") of Cainta was a fortified upriver polity that occupied both shores of an arm of the Pasig River. It was located not far from where the Pasig River meets the Lake of Ba-i and is presumed to be the present site of the municipality of Cainta, Rizal. Description Descriptions of early chroniclers say that the polity was surrounded by bamboo thickets, defended by a log wall, stone bulwarks, and several lantakas, and that an arm of the Pasig River flowed through the middle of the city, dividing it into two settlements. As described in an anonymous 1572 account documented in Volume 3 of Blair and Robertson's compiled translations: This said village had about a thousand inhabitants, and was surrounded by very tall and very dense bamboo thickets, and fortified with a wall and a few small culverins. The same river as that of Manila circles around the village and a branch of it passes through the middle divid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Of The Philippines (900–1521)
The history of the Philippines dates from the earliest hominin activity in the archipelago at least by 709,000 years ago. '' Homo luzonensis'', a species of archaic humans, was present on the island of Luzon at least by 134,000 years ago. The earliest known anatomically modern human was from Tabon Caves in Palawan dating about 47,000 years. Negrito groups were the first inhabitants to settle in the prehistoric Philippines. These were followed by Austroasiatics, Papuans, and South Asians. By around 3000 BCE, seafaring Austronesians, who form the majority of the current population, migrated southward from Taiwan. By 2000 BCE the archipelago was the crux of a trans-oceanic Philippine jade culture. Scholars generally believe that these ethnic and social groups eventually developed into various settlements or polities with varying degrees of economic specialization, social stratification, and political organization. Some of these settlements (mostly those located on major ri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Will Of Pansomun
The "Will of Fernando Malang Balagtas", sometimes also referred to as the "Will of Pansomun" is a disputed early Spanish-era Philippine document which was supposedly issued either on "''25 March 1539''" or ''"25 March 1589"'' by a "Don Fernando Malang Balagtas", whose original name (before his baptism as a Catholic) was "Pansomun." Despite its provenance having been questioned by Isabelo de los Reyes when he first published a copy of the will in the first volume of his seminal compilation "''El Folklore Filipino''", and more recently by Philippine scholars such as William Henry Scott, this "Will of Pansomun" is still popularly used as a reference for tracing the genealogies of the kings and ''lakan''s who ruled Manila and Tondo until the fall of these dominions to Spanish rule in the 1570s. It is sometimes dated "25 March 15''8''9" instead of "15''3''9" but this does not reflect the date originally cited by de los Reyes. Disputed provenance Genuineness questioned by Isabelo de ...
