I respectfully welcome all netters to this blog and I hope that Islamic articles, current news and other information will be beneficial to all. It is also consists of Salsila of the Family of the late Sultan Muhammad Shariff Kabungsuan in Mindanao. Especially dedicated to my beloved Father and Mother.
Southeast Asian merchant vessels and colonial warships, have been the sites of extraordinary conflicts and changes often associated with the formation of ethnic groups and boundaries, political struggles and national histories. One profound era was the hey days of pirating, slaving and marauding of Iranun and Bangingi Nations.
Many historians see this maritime raiding as "state sanctioned" by the Sultanates of Sulu and Maguindanao. I believe otherwise. Although there was actually an insatiable demands of the sultanates of Sulu and Maguindanao for slave labor -( labor to harvest and procure exotic natural commodities, such as sea cucumbers and birds' nests, reached a peak in the first half of the nineteenth century as the China trade flourished) these activities were actually independent of these governments. It is the classic story of PIRATES similar with the pirates of European waters. To support this claim: although the Sultanate of Maguindanao was predominatly Iranun, it is a historical fact that the IRANUN NATION PER SE WERE NOT SUBJECTS OF ANY GOVERNMENTS.They were an independent sea faring people governed by their respective datus.
However, it is not an exclusively "muslim activity", Francisco Mallari wrote in his book "It is unjustifiable to impute all acts of piracy to muslims" he further explains that there were actually christian and pagan renegades and pirates who joined the muslims in slave trading across south east asia. We can also say even if there were alliances between the Iranun and the Bangingi Nations/tribes, often times battle of control do occur in the seas.
Iranun squadrons regularly plundered villages and captured slaves. Their exploits and conquests had the immediate effect of both disrupting and destroying traditional trade routes across Asia (Warren 1981: 152-53) . These reputation prompted the Sultanate of Sulu to seek the services of these sea faring warriors when he helped the Sultan of Brunei quell a rebellion against his throne. In return Sabah was given to the Sultan Of Sulu as gift in the late 17th century and rewarded the Iranun to stay in Brunei as long as they wish, today, we can still see Iranun communities in Brunei.

Iranun by origin was one of the oldest existing nations of the world. It was the nationality of the people of the Uranen Kingdom of the ancient past. It was dismantled and distroyed by colonization. Thus it becomes a mother of all moro tribes in the Philippines including Tiduray, Subanen, Kalagan, Blaan, Manobo, and other highlander tribes. Iranun occupies and inhabited the coastal areas which stretched from Tagalook Bay to Sibugay Bay (Moro Gulf of the Modern time). Thus Iranun means people of the sea coast. Some called people of the sea. Shariff Kabunsuan married Princess Angintabu, an Iranun Princess.
Iranun as a word/term is composed two words which were joined together to formed a word with distinct interpretation and description. The word/term IRA means remains, residue, or silt. These word/term may refer to a place or area which was formed out of a long process evolved from remains or residual process that caused a formation of a place. NUN means people with distinct culture, laws, belief, tradition, of residual and remains process. It implies all places predominantly inhabited by the Iranun was a water millions of years ago which gradually becomes a land/soil through residual process. Thus, the territory of the UranenKingdom was a water which gradually becomes a soil for the people to estabilsh their comunity. Out of this concept, it is hereby described that Iranun is a group of people who were belonged to the ancient or prehistoric period of civilization which lived and occupied a certain territory (water in origin) which was formed through a residual or remains (silt) process thousands of years ago with organized socio-political structure with distinct culture, belief, custom and tradition. Thus Iranun is a nation not a tribe.
SUMMARY
Iranun is not a tribe of any nation of the world. It is a nation with defined territory and sphere of influenced, political structure/system, socio-economic, educational system, culture, belief and tradition, and other aspects. It was one of the ancient civilized nations in the world. Its existence and civilization is contemporary with Sri Vishaya and Madjapahit Empires. It was a nation sprang from a Karingke-Karibang line of descent. Karibang and Kareingke were analogous with aetas of Luzon. During the Fall of Sri Vishaya Empire many of the people either family or political group migrated going north until such time that they reached and landed in the present IranunBay (IllanaBay), the center of the primitive people/ native inhabitants. This group of migrants was identified in the tarsila as Taw sa Guiwa ( English version people of Java). They entered into a social relationship with the Karingke-Karibang people. Intermerriages were established between the natives and the Javans. Out of this social process Iranun as a nation sprang. They established their political system KINGDOMSHIP patterned from Sri Vishaya Political System. The first ruler was Rajah Urannguwan. This system of government (Kingdomship) last until reign of Rajah Raut Buisan, the father of Sultan Kudarat.
This nation was destroyed and ruined by colonization. The colonizers like Spain and United States made a conquest and invasion to expand their territory and sovereignty and introduced their respective system and way of life. They used force and political strategies to destroy and dominate the natives. The colonization of the western nations fragmented and divide the Iranun nation into tribe. Unlike other foreign nations like China, India, and Arabs. They came not for conquest and invasion but for trade, commerce, education, and religion(spiritual) aspects. They helped the natives. The civilization of the natives was improved and strengthened due to the socio-political relationships with China,India and Arab.
The name of the state was UranenKingdom, its people was Iranun. The ancient Uranen state is the Mindanao of the present time. The terrotiry of the Kingdom stretched from SibugayPeninsula to TagalookGulf with all in-lands areas, except Agusan and Surigao provinces. Its sphere of influenced reached as far as the present areas of Zamboanga and MisamisProvinces. The seat of government and center of civilization was in Tbok now a barangay of Malabang, Lanao sel Sur. Therefore the civilization in the Island started from the coastal area of the IranunBay (IllanaBay). Iranun tarsila named, called, and identified it as Biwang-Kawanan Tinday A Batal O Pagilidan (literarily translated as Left and Right Huge Coastal Principalities), in political interpretation say traditional name is translated as Kingdom of the SeaCoast, which refer to UranenKingdom, the official name.
After the death of Sultan Mohammad Dipatuan Kudarat Kabunsuan Urangguwan, the Divide-and-Rule Technique was applied by the colonizers (Spaniards and Dutch). Sultan Tahiruddin Malinog was supported by the Dutch. On the other side, Sultan Manamir was supported by the Spaniards for supremacy. Rivalry in the succession issue was the gate to divide the native Iranuns. The whole Sultanate was divided into two groups (Malinog group and Manamir group). This was the beginning of the subdivisioon of the native inhabitants. This also leads to some corrupt use words, and colonial terms although native but it implied destructions. Here are some examples of corrupt use of terms and words: Luzon (Liusong), Panay (Aninipay), Visayas (Vishaya), Tagalog (Taga- ilog), Illana (Iranun), Zambonga (Samboangan), Lanao (Ranaw), and many others.
Iranun During American Regime
It was described that more than three centuries, the native Iranun fought for defense. They were not not conquered until the time of signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898 which ended the Spanish-American War for Supremacy. The Royal Government of Spain ceded all the controlled territories and exercised its power and authority to United States of America.The present Mindanaw, Palawan, and Sulu were not included in the Treaty because they were not conquered.
The Americans amplified and use the same technique (Divide-and-Rule). They only improved and strengthened the technique used by the Spaniards. hey used words which connotes places in order to deceive the native. With due respect to some historians, Maguindanao as a name of a place which connotes a traditional name which is implying sovereignty is not correct. It is used and amplified by the Americans to destroy the original place which implies sovereignty the SLANGAN DA MARIMBANG which means Slangan the original and has no equal.
Cotabato, Lanao, Zamboanga, Davao are all colonial term used, applied and amplified by the colonizers (Americans) to destroy the tradition of the native. The original was Slangan, Ranaw, Samboangan, Tagalook respectively.
Effect of Colonization
The most destructive effect of the colonization to the Iranun and Uranen as a nation and state respectively was deception to the next generation. Spanish writers and historians (Pigafetta) wrote a wrong information and data. He described the native inhabitants whom Magellan met as Moores (a nation whom they encountered in war in Africa). This people has the same quality and ability in combat with the native inhabitants of the Island. Thus Pigaffeta baptized the Iranuns as Moores. Later the term Moores was corruptly used by other writers- the present form Moro. The usage of the term Moro to refer the native inhabitants in the Island was amplified by the American writers. Thus the original nation and state - Iranun and Uranen respectively were forgotten in the annal of history of the Island.
The colonization has contributed much to the introduction of western culture, belief, customs, practices, and others aspects of life which were harmful and destructive to the culture, tradition, belief, practices of the Iranun as a native inhabitants. The political system was introduced which caused to the gradual modification of the political system of the natives. The socio-political system of the Iranun was totally destroyed suring the American regime. The Americans organized the Moro province for the purpose of total elimination of the residues and remains of the past civilization enjoyed by the native inhabitants from the ancient UranenKingdom down to Uranen Sultanate led by His Majesty Sultan Mohammad Dipatuan Kudarat Kabunsuan Urangguwan. Thus introduction of Cotabato, Lanao, Davao, Zamboanga, and Sulu was a strategy of the colonizer to eliminate the truth. Cotabato, Lanao, Davao, Zamboanga, and Sulu were native in connotation but colonization by intention.
Many terms and words which were corruptly introduced and used for colonization purposes. The examples of these words are: Dagiangas, later it becomes Dagiangas later on it was changed to General Santos. Tacudong it was modified to Tacurong, Kutawato, later on it was modified to Cotabato. Lupah Suog, later on it was modofied to Sulu, Aninipay, later on it was modified to Panay. Irong-irong, later on it was modified to Iloilo. Antik, later on it was modofied to Antique. Tukudan, later on it was modified to Tucuran, Pangagian, later on it was modified to Pagadian. Marges aig, laterlater on it was modified Margosatubig, Kumaladang, later on it was modified to Kumalarang. Padampadang, later on it was modified to Parang and many others. All of these are colonization srategy.
The foremost effect of the colonization to the Iranun natives was the so called colonial mentality. The mental or intellectual skill of the native becomes dependent and submissive to the western and americans. The Iranun natives become nothing and mentally slave of the foreign education. Therefore, conquest and colonization were the root caused of the problem in the Island (Palawan, Sulu, and Mindanao: Pandawan, Lupah Suog, Uranen of the ancient past respectively). Therefore the colonization wiped out everything.
The first recorded Spanish invasion in the Mindanao (Uranen) was on 1596. This was led by Capt. Figueroa. Figueroa was killed during the fight. The gesture and action of the Spaniards was considered by the native Iranuns as aggression and and invasion. The Council of Elders unanimously agreed to adopt a technique for effective defense against the Spaniards. The top executives namely Rajah Raut Buisan, Rajah, Sirungan, and Rajah Tagal suggested to the Council to launch a counter offensive. The proposal was approved. They attacked Visayas islands, Mindoro, Bicolandia, and Southern Tagalog. The counter offensive of the natives was misconceptualized by the Spanish and Filipino historians. They described it as piratic activity. This is not true and uncorrect. The natives had just adopt an effective technique for defense purposes. They only defended their sovereign state and nation against foreign invasion. he counter attacked were launched in 1599, 1600, and 1602.
Change of System From Kingdomship to Sultanate
Meanwhile, in the year 1617, Kingdomship was officially changed to Sultanate System. The first ruler of the new system was Kudarat, the son of Rajah Raut Buisan. His renal name was His Majesty Sultan Mohammad Dipatuan Kabunsuan Urangguwan. He established his seat of government at Ramitan (now a barangay of Sultan Gumander, Lanao del Sur).
Invasion Continued
On March 13, 1637 (Zaide), Governor Corcuera invaded Ramitan. The native inhabitants fearlessly defended their territory against the Superpower Spain. The Sultan retreated in the inner portion of Ramitan. He moved to DapawLake for a week. The Council of Elders agreed to the proposal of the Sultan to transfer his Court (capital) at Magulaling, Balabagan, Lanao del Sur. In this seat of government, the Sultan was able to expand his sovereign powers and authority. The villages and communities within the CrabGulf (Moro Gulf) and the inner parts of the Island, except Surigao and Agusan. He established socio-political alliances with the local (kampong) leaders and foreign nations like Brunie Darussalam, Java, Makassar, Sumatra, Lahore (Johor), Singapore, China, and India. He was able to mobilize all sectors of the Uranen Sultanate.
It was presented in the preceding paragraphs that the two identified Shariffs (Aulia and Kabunsuan) intermarraige with the Iranun Rajah families ( Rajah Urangguwan and Rajah Makaapen respectively). Out of this social relationship, the new socio-political practices was merged and developed. The offspring of Shariff Aulia-Princess Pagunguwan was intermarriage in the later decades with the offspring of Shariff Kabunsuan-Princess Angintabu. Out of this mixed and interwaved bloodline of descent sprang a royalty lineage of decendant. Sultan Kudarat, the first native ruler used Sultan as a royal political title and authority eas of Iranun-Shariff line of descent with a blood sprang from the Karibang-Karingke line of descen. Out of these facts, it is safe to say that the first Sultan of the native breed from the Iranun-Shariff line belonged to the UranenKingdom which exercised its sovereign authority and power over the CrabGulf (Moro Gulf) with concentration in the IranunBay. Thus Rajah Urangguwan of the ancient past (prehistory) and Sultan Kudarat of the Shariff period (Sultanate System)were the fathers of the royal line of descent among the native inhabitants. Out of these facts all claimants of royalty line of descent are all descended from Iranun-Shariff marriage affinal ties
Sultan Kudarat realm was a continuation of the ancient political system spearheaded by Rajah Urangguwan. The seat of the former government was in Ramitan (Lamitan in the Filipino authors). It is one of the barangays of the municipality of Sultan Gumander, Lanao del Sur in the present geographical political division. Ramitan was the first seat of government led by Sultan Kudarat. The seat of government of the latter was in Tbok. Tbok is one of the barangays of the municipality of Malabang, Lanao del Sur in the present geographical political division. It is interesting to note that the two capitals (seat of governments) are neigbors. Sultan Gumander and Malabang are only separated by PicongRiver and both situated and located along the sea coast of the IranunBay of the CrabGulf ( LayaganGulf).
UranenKingdom was the first kingdom ever had in the ancient period (prehistory). It was the mother of all kingdoms established after decades or centuries. Shariff Aulia was the first arab muslim with missionary works who stepped-foot and landed in the UranenKingdom (Tbok was the seat of government). He married the native princess named Bai Pagunguwan (Iranun tradition identified her as Bai sa Pandan). Out of their wedlock, they begot the four rajahs (Makaapen, Dungklang, Maraguia, and Budtol). The introduction of the belief brought into the Kingdom through Shariff Aulia was the first stage of the Iranun civilization recorded in history. The old belief was gradually changed to what is present belief of the Muslims in the world. The system of government, socio-economic, trade and industry and other walks of life were improved and strengthened. The primitive system of government was changed to more structurized system. The Caliphate was introduced described as Sultanate System.
Iranun tarsila say that Makaapen married Lingayen, a daughter of the property custodian of Rajah Urangguwan begot Princess Angintabu. The Princess was married by Shariff Kabunsuan (1475). Out of their wedlock, they begot Saripada Makaalang. Saripada Makaalang married his first cousin name Princess Pidsarawdan, a daughter of Rajah Dungklang, begot Saripada Bankaya. Saripada Bankaya married a lady of Lupah Suog named Princess Sri Pangyan Mampay Laila begot Saripada Raut (laut in some version) Buisan begot Sultan Dipatuan Kudarat, the strongest and has a longest term of realm among the Iranun sultans. It is interesting to note that the term saripada was used as prefix three times before the given names: Makaalang, Bankaya, and Raut. The term has a Malayan origin probably a term existing and used during the two big empires (Sri Vishaya and Madjapahit). It connotes ruler or nobility. Thus it was a royalty title used during the ancient period of political structure which is equivalent to Sultan (Surutan in Iranun version).
The introduction of sultanate system gradually changed the rajahship (primitive system patterned from ancient (prehistory system of government) to more advanced political system. Iranun as a people with distinct nationality entered into a neolistic civilization called Shariff Period. The Iranun accepted the Ideology introduced by the Shariffs.
The ancient Iranun were good defenders of their territory and freedom. They consider any individual or group who do not signifying its interest to enter the Iranun territory (both sea and land) as enemy. Coordination (Pagtaw) was very important to them. To them (Iranun) when you enter the territory of the other sovereign without coordination was considered sin and unlawful. The invasion and other marine activity of the Spaniards and its allied forces/group/tribe were considered unlawful. Out of this concept, Iranun warriors were forced to drive out through drastic action (by force) all groups or individuals who attempt to enter their territory without prior notice of friendship. Their defense tactics and mechanisms were misconceptualized and misunderstood by filipino and western authors. Filipino and foreign writers described Iranun as pirates. They were not pirates. They only defend their territories against invasion of foreigners.
