The first datu of Bwayan was Budtul, who married a woman from Magindanao and begot Malang-sa-Ingud and Pulwa. Putri Mamur was married first to Malang-sa-Ingud, but after his death she married Pulwa. Pulwa married also Budang of Tijaman, and begot Dikaya.
THE HISTORY OF BAGUMBAYAN.
The two greatest powers that figured prominently in the Rio Grande Valley are the sultan of Magindanao and the raja of Bwayan. These rulers have at all times been considered as greater in power and higher in rank than any other ruler in the valley. In the latter part of the eighteenth century and during the main part of the nineteenth century the sultan of Kabuntalan also figured prominently and held a very intimate relation and a close position to both of the other sultans, which position he still holds at the present time.
It appears that the first ruler of Kabuntalan was Dikaya, the son of a raja Bwayan, who simply held the honorary t.i.tle of datu. His successor had no male heir, and one of his daughters, Babak, married Umar Maya Tubu-tubu of Magindanao, who became ruler of Kabuntalan and whose son was the first mentioned sultan there. This makes the line of descent of Kabuntalan related by Babak to the line of Bwayan and by Umar Maya to that of Magindanao. This relation to both Magindanao and Bwayan and the intermediate position Kabuntalan holds to both Saylud and Saraya have been very prominent factors in the history-making events of the valley, and have successively been taken advantage of by both Spanish and American authorities managing the affairs of the country.
Diagram No. 5 gives in a very explicit and clear manner the names of the rulers of Kabuntalan or Bagumbayan, the order of their descent and succession, and the relation they hold to each other. Their names in the order of precedence are as follows:
1. Datu Dikaya 2. Datu Duka 3. Datu Umar Maya 4. Sultan Digra Alam 5. Sultan Mohammed Alimu-d-Din 6. Sultan sa-Barahaman 7. Sultan Mohammed Iskandar Manamir 8. Sultan Iskandar Sul-Karnayn 9. Sultan Idris 10. Sultan Abu Bakar
The diagram shows also the princ.i.p.al relations of Bagumbayan to Bwayan and to Magindanao.
Very little is known about the early history of Kabuntalan. Datu Kali Ibrahim, who is the chief judge of Bagumbayan, told the following story:
Soon after the arrival of Dikaya in Kabuntalan the chief people of the village took their new datu in a boat on a little excursion. When they had gone some distance from the village they engaged in a sham fight and one party attacked the datu. This affair was prearranged and planned to test the courage and power of their datu. They made their attack with krises and bamboo lances. Dikaya was frightened and ran away. The people lost respect for him and expelled him from the village. Some time later he won their friendship by his good behavior and was reinstated as datu of Kabuntalan.
The statement on page 47 that Dikaya was the son of Pulwa was taken from the Bwayan tarsila and is added on account of the relation it bears to the subject. The part of the tarsila of Bwayan which bears on this subject states that Dikaya was the son of Pulwa by a concubine, and that Dikaya begot Duka, who married Rantyan, a Malitigaw lady whose mother was Agub. The children of Duka and Rantyan were Bulus, Ma.n.a.lidtu, Puwi, and Miyandung.
As Pulwa must have lived about the year 1550, and as Digra Alam must have ruled about the year 1770, the statement that Duka married Ambun and begot Babak, the mother of Digra Alam, can not be accepted as true. Some links in the list are evidently missing, but the fact is that the right to rule Kabuntalan belonged to the descendants of Duka, and was princ.i.p.ally derived from Bwayan.
The first ruler of Kabuntalan addressed as sultan was Digra Alam, the son of Umar Maya and Babak. Diagram No. 5 shows plainly that Digra Alam must have ruled about the same time as Sultan Pakir Mawlana Kanza of Mindanao, or his brother, Pakaru-d-Din, that is about the year A. D. 1770.
In a treaty between the Spanish Government and the sultan of Kabuntalan in the year 1857 the sultan is addressed as sultan of Tambao. He must be either Sultan Iskandar Sul-Karnayn or Sultan Idris, probably the latter.
About midway between Tambao and Libungan on the left bank of the river is a small monument, possibly a tomb, erected in memory of those who died during the fight between the Spaniards and Sultan Idris. In 1861 Tambao and Taviran or Tapidan were occupied by the Spaniards. In 1884 Sultan Idris submitted unconditionally to the Spanish authorities and received their protection against Datu Utu. Datu Ayunan of Taviran, Datu Balabadan"s brother, aided the Spanish authorities in the war against Datu Utu and was one of the most prominent datus of Talakuku and Magindanao.
