Ma.n.u.sCRIPT NO. VI

THE HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF MAGINDANAO PROPER

INTRODUCTION

This ma.n.u.script is a copy of the original which is in the possession of Datu Mastura, the best-informed datu of Magindanao, and the son of Sultan Qudrat Jamalu-l-A'lam Untung, the greatest of the late sultans of Magindanao. Datu Mastura has the best collection of Magindanao books and records and owns the most reliable of the royal doc.u.ments that have been preserved. This copy is one of the best specimens of Magindanao literature extant. It is princ.i.p.ally genealogy and speaks briefly of the early history of Magindanao and the rise of its sultanate, its main purpose being to preserve the record of descent and determine the right of succession to the sultanate.

The first page describes the birth of Putri Tunina and her relation to Tabunaway, the ruler of Magindanao. The second page describes the coming of Sharif Kabungsuwan to Magindanao, his conversion of Mindanao to Islam, and his marriage to Putri Tunina. The third page gives an account of Kabungsuwan's marriage to a princess from Malabang and his descendants from her. The rest of the ma.n.u.script is a detailed account of births and descendants down to the birth of the great grandfather of the present sultan, which must have occurred shortly before the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is the most complete and the most nearly correct copy that exists. It is written at a later period than that of No. V, and covers two later generations. The history and genealogy of the nineteenth century were obtained by personal investigation and inquiry from the oldest and most reliable datus and other persons living. Diagrams Nos. 3 and 4 show the descent of the rulers of Magindanao from Kabungsuwan to the present time.

The full names and t.i.tles of the sultans in the order of their succession are as follows:

1. Sharif Kabungsuwan 2. Sharif Maka-alang 3. Datu Bangkaya 4. Datu Dimasangkay 5. Datu Gugu Sarikula 6. Datu Kapitan Lawut Bwisan 7. Sultan Dipatwan Qudrat (Corralat) 8. Sultan Dundang Tidulay 9.

IN THE NAME OF G.o.d THE COMPa.s.sIONATE AND MERCIFUL. PRAISE BE TO G.o.d THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE. I HAVE FULL SATISFACTION THAT G.o.d IS MY WITNESS

This book speaks of the origin of the rulers of Magindanao. The first known rulers were Tabunaway and his brother Mamalu. One day they were cutting bamboo to build a fish corral. Mamalu cut down all the trees except one small stalk that was left standing alone. Tabunaway then called to Mamalu, "Finish it up, because it omens ill to our fish corral." Mamalu therefore cut it and found in it a girl whose little finger was slightly cut by a slip of the bolo. He carried the girl to Tabunaway, but Tabunaway told him to keep her and adopt her as his child. This girl was named by Tabunaway Putri Tunina.

On the other hand, there came out from Mecca Sharif Ali Zayna-l-Abidin, who proceeded to Baw.a.n.gin (Malaysia) and settled at Juhur. Here he married the daughter of Sultan Iskandar Thul-Qarnayn of Juhur, whose name was Jusul Asiqin, and begot Sharif Kabungsuwan. Sharif Kabungsuwan came to Magindanao to the mouth of the Tinundan. There he met Tabunaway and accompanied him to the town of Magindanao. This is Sharif Kabungsuwan, who converted to Islam all the people of Magindanao, Slangan, Matampay, Lusud, Kat.i.ttwan, and Simway, and who was followed by all those who accepted Islam in the land of Magindanao.

And it came to pa.s.s that Tabunaway married Sharif Kabungsuwan to the girl that was found inside the bamboo stalk, whose name was Putri Tunina. To them were born three daughters--Putri Mamur, who married Malang-sa-Ingud, an older brother of Pulwa; Putri Milagandi, who married Pulwa, the datu of Bwayan; and Putri Bay Batula, who had no children.

Later Sharif Kabungsuwan married Angintabu, the daughter of Maka-apun, a coast datu of Malabang, and begot Sharif Maka-alang.

Sharif Maka-alang married Buli, a Bilan woman who was found by Parasab in a crow's egg. There were born to them a boy called Bangkaya and a girl called Maginut.

Kapitan Lawut Bwisan married Ambang, the daughter of Dalamba of Slangan, whose son was Sultan Dipatwan Qudrat and whose daughter was Gayang.

Sultan Dipatwan Qudrat married Putri and begot Dundang Tidulay and Arawaldi.

Dundang Tidulay married Paramata Asiya, a Bitalan lady, and begot Putri Gunung Lidang, who was the first Bayalabi of Magindanao and who had no offspring. His children from a concubine were Ila and Ija; from Angki, the daughter of Katib Syam and Puntyabak of Sawakungan, Sultan Mohammed Barahaman and Sultan Mohammed Kaharu-d-Din Kuda.

Ila married Tawbalay and begot Gantar and Lumampaw and a daughter Sarabanun.

Ija was married to Binulukan and begot Maraja Layla Dangkaya and the following daughters: Tumam, Pudtad, Darisay, Nurun, Layin, Imbu, Lilang, Abu, and Ampay, who had no offspring.

Sultan Barahaman begot from Panubawun Raja Muda Bulagas and Sultan Dipatwan Anwar, and Gugu Jarnik and Datu Ma-as Sumannap, and a daughter Anig, and Gawu, and Datu Sakaludan Jamalu-d-Din, and Manjani and Awu and Tundug, and Ngwa and Lugung.
