#datu kalantiaw

[arkipelagic]

The legends depicted in Pedro Monteclaro's book Maragtas have long been a part of Visayan folklore and they are a source of fierce pride for many Visayans today. The stories of the ten datus or cheifs [sic] have been told for generations and they are perfectly believable, as far as legends go, if we put aside the modern additions such as obviously phoney "original" manuscripts and the use of precise but utterly uncorroborated dates from the pre-Hispanic era. After all, it is not hard to believe that exiles could have sailed from Borneo to settle in Panay. Why not? Even though there are no ancient documents to show that Sumakwel and his followers actually existed, there is much archaeological and foreign documentary evidence of regular trade and travel at that time between the Philippines and its neighbours.

Nevertheless, the line between the familiar legends of Maragtas and the hard historical facts was blurred by the misguided nationalism of its author and the blatant dishonesty of other writers. The legends surrounding the famous Datu Kalantiaw, however, were not a part the Maragtas saga. The story of Kalantiaw is more alarming because he was never a part of Philippine history or legend; Kalantiaw was an utter hoax.

maningning is so cute! are she and srithvi about the same age? could they be friends?? also, why did it matter that darenya is his father's only bio child? also also, the rajah is the top authority of the sundering archipelago, right? outranking sintandar or the kalimbahing or the various royals of janalila?

satvara seems to be a very spiritual person; is he also in a position of religious power? is that how she met sintandar? are their bird-like legs canon (if that's not too spoilery)? no rush to answer of course; i'm just interested in hearing more about these characters if/when you want to talk about them!

They are the same age indeed! Srithvi and Maningning are both 17 when the story kicks into gear, but they cannot be more different in circumstances. Maningning is a huntress who grew up in a well-loved home of indigenous folk who loved the mountains and its forests. They are the indigenous peoples of Janalila who become more and more displaced as Janalilans expand land, more foresting land for the species of trees that they use for building their dragonships, while Srithvi is a Janalilan princess, from its oldest and its most illustrious family, and she is also the heir to its fabulous fortunes along with her brother, Namwaren-

As I mentioned above, Srithvi and Maningning are also both very different in mannerisms, Maningning likes to run and be free, train hunting dogs and she has a loud and boisterous laugh, while Srithvi is much, much more reticent, keeping to herself and making large, beautiful tapestries in the silence of her own room.

They would often butt heads, with Maningning unable to understand Srithvi or give her nuance in character and mind, but they will find the beginnings of a common ground when they both find that they both love giving Suryavarman and Narakan anxiety attacks!! (Can Not Say More For Spoilers)

Darenya being the only biological child matters in the narrative bc it is a point of contention between him and Narakan.

Narakan is not sanjata indigenous by blood, while Darenya is. Narakan is older, stronger, more headstrong than Renya, while Renya is very physically weak and sickly, even if more subtle a mind and more radical in his beliefs than Narakan. While Narakan wishes to preserve her people, Darenya wants total liberation. In every sense of the word, Narakan was the perfect heir for their father's chiefdom in one way, Darenya in others. Narakan was prudent when Darenya is rash, Darenya is capable of expressing diplomacy than Narakan. The first few signs that Narakan and Darenya began drifting apart from each other when Narakan formed some sort of bitterness that she would not be the next datu (chieftain), and believes it is because Darenya is the biological child.

And noooo! Aaaa the Devaraja only rules Harilunan. Each sundering has their own government system with a different head-of-state. Devaraja rules the northern sundering, Sintandar rules as both head of state and religion in the very south, and etc etc. The sunderings all see each other like this. "I love you, but I hate everything you stand for.". They are all (mostly) equal in power, diversity, each their unique cultures and etc etc, except for poor old occupied Sasaban, who can never catch a break. In most maps, Sasaban is simply referred to as "western Janalila"

Janalilans love the culture of Kalantiaw, and they often try to mimic Kalantiaw in terms of fashion and speech, but they do think Kalantiawonens are a very prude and depressing lot, always sniveling and crying to their goddess.

I can't say much about Satvara though. I've only ever said one line about them!

"They said that the lord of Kalantiaw took a kinnara to be his spouse."

Cultural Practices During the Pre-Hispanic Period by John Henry Chia

The Filipinos lived in settlements called barangays before the colonization of the Philippines by the Spaniards. As the unit of government, a barangay consisted from 30 to 100 families. It was headed by a datubarangay came from the Malay word balangay, a boat that transported them to the islands. and was independent from the other groups. The Tagalog word

Usually, several barangays settled near each other to help one another in case of war or any emergency. The position of datu was passed on by the holder of the position to the eldest son or, if none, the eldest daughter. However, later, any member of the barangay could be chieftain, based on his talent and ability. He had the usual responsibilities of leading and protecting the members of his barangay. In turn, they had to pay tribute to the datu, help him till the land, and help him fight for the barangay in case of war.

THE PEOPLE’S COMMANDMENTS

Pre-college Filipino textbooks teach that the only written laws of pre-colonial Philippines that have survived are the Maragtas Code and the Code of Kalantiaw, both prepared in Panay. Some historians believe that the Maragtas Code was written by Datu Sumakwel, one of the chieftains from Borneo who settled there. As for the Code of Kalantiaw, it was said to have been promulgated by the third chief of Panay and possibly a descendant of Datu Sumakwel, Rajah Kalantiaw, in 1433. W. Henry Scott, however, has disputed the authenticity of the Code of Kalantiaw.

CLASSES OF THE SOCIETY

DATU - the title for chiefs, sovereign princes, and monarchs in the Visayas and Mindanao Regions of the Philippines.

MAHARLIKA - the feudal warrior class in ancient Tagalog society in Luzon the Philippines translated in Spanish as Hidalgos, and meaning freeman, libres or freedman.

TIMAWA - the feudal warrior class of the ancient Visayan societies of the Philippines.

ALIPIN:

ALIPING NAMAMAHAY – also known as household servants.

ALIPING SAGUIGUILID – also known as slaved workers.

CLOTHING AND ORNAMENTS

The natives already wore clothes and personal ornaments. The men wore short-sleeved and collarless jackets, whose length reached slightly below the waist. The color of the jacket appeared to indicate the position of the wearer in society, red for the chief, and blue or black for those below him, depending on the societal class. For the lower part, they wore a bahag, a strip of cloth wrapped around the waist, passing between the thighs. Their thighs and legs were left exposed.

A piece of cloth wrapped around the head, called a putong, served as a head gear. The kind of putong one wore was important. For example, a red putong meant the wearer had killed a man in war while one who had killed at least seven people signified so by wearing an embroidered putong. They also wore necklaces, armlets or kalombiga, earrings, rings, and anklets, usually made of gold and precious stones.

The women’s upper garment was a sleeved jacket, called a baro. Over their skirts (saya or patadyong) was wrapped a strip of cloth called tapis. They also wore gem-studded bracelets, necklaces, rings, and gold earrings. Tattoos were part of the body ornaments of pre-Hispanic Filipinos, men and women alike. These were also sported as war “medals.” The more tattoos, the more impressive was a man’s war record.

THEIR GOD

Bathala was the supreme god of the pre-Spanish Filipinos. They attributed to Bathala the creation of the heavens, Earth, and man. There were lesser gods and goddesses, like a god of death, a god of agriculture, a goddess of harvest, sea gods, river gods, and the like. It was also believed that things found in nature were full of spirits more powerful than man. Spirits of dead relatives were also revered. Sacrifices were offered to all of them.

HOW ISLAM CONQUERED PARTS OF THE PHILIPPINES

The Islamization of Southeast Asia was generally accomplished by peaceful means through Muslim traders, missionaries, and teachers. They went to Java, Sumatra, Jahore, Malacca, Borneo, and nearby islands to conduct their mission. To speed up the conversion process, these proselytizers usually married into the families of the rich and ruling class. most of the lands in Southeast Asia were Islamized.

From there, Islam filtered to Mindanao and Sulu, the southern part of the Philippines, in the 14th century. In 1380, an Arab teacher, Mukdum, arrived in Sulu from the Malay peninsula to preach Islam. He built the first mosque in Simunul, Sulu. Around 1390, he was followed by Raja Baginda, a minor ruler of Menangkabaw, Sumatra. About 1450, Abu Bakr, a Muslim scholar, came to Sulu and married Paramisuli, the daughter of Raja Baginda. After Baginda died, Abu Bakr established a sultanate form of government with himself as sultan. Islam then spread rapidly to all parts of Sulu.

"Diyan ka nagkakamali, ang Hustisya ay para lamang sa mga taong pinagtaksilan ng kasarinlan at hustisya. naipit sa madilim na proseso at nabulag sa isang pagkakataon na nagtulak upang mawalan nito." paliwanag nito sa akin

The Untold Story of a Great Land and Its People. The Philippines is Maharlika, the ancient land of Sheba, Tarshish and Ophir, the King Solomon's islands of gold, the Biblical land of Havilah east of Eden, the land of Adam and Eve. 

Facts About the Maharlikan Race

Unfortunately, most of the Maharlikan consciousness movements nowadays are tracing the wrong lineage of information in their presentations of "who the real Maharlikan people were". First and foremost, the real Maharlikan people were a race of spiritually advanced civilization whose level of consciousness surpasses the level of our spirituality. They were the descendants of the Muian people. Second, the real Maharlikans lived earlier, in the pre-historic times, when the world was much younger, before and after the last great upheaval until after the last ice age. Third, the Maharlikans were not warriors contrary to prevailing notions because during their times they have no enemies or in conflict with other races, except with nature's law of balance and restoration that destroyed the grandeur of their civilization. Fourth, the later descendants of the Maharlikan race were those "Ylayas" (Isidro Escare Abeto, 1989) in a land called Ophir, from whom King Solomon obtained ships of gold. During that period the Ylayas have already well established their communities after the cataclysmic event that destroyed the Muian civilization. Fifth, the Kalantiaw Code (be it a hoax or not) was a later version of a much older code observed during the times of Ophir. Sixth, the Srivijayan Empire was the later silent assimilator of this land of Ophir bringing with them their Hindu-Malayan culture. This leads to the gradual banishment of the remnants of the Maharlikan people (Ylayas) and their culture as they gradually were assimilated into the Indo-Malayan culture. Those who maintained the Muian ways found the comfort of nature in the hinterlands. The indigenous people (in the Philippines) are now their living descendants. Seventh, the Srivijayan or Majapahit Empires were aware of the golden age in the history of the Maharlikan people. They themselves inclined to believe they were also descendants of the Maharlikans so they adopted almost everything pertaining the Maharlikan civilization. Eighth, the nation's treasury of the Maharlikan people were so abundant that when under the Srivijayan-Majapahit Empire these were accumulated and taken as part of the empires’ treasury being the custodians of those wealth meant (only) for the Maharlikan nation. Nineth, titles like rajah, datu or lakan were of Hindu-Malayan origins. Maharlikan people have no titles except being “maharlikans” which means men of renown, great men or men from the great plane. Tenth, the Hindu-Malayan people or empires retained the former's title maharajah of the maharlikan from the mahar-loka which later gave rise to what others are now claiming as the Maharlikans (the Filipinos).

W latach 1967-1978 Filipiny pozyskały trzy amerykańskie niszczyciele eskortowe typu Cannon zbudowane podczas II wojny światowej. Okręty otrzymały nazwy BRP Datu Sikatuna, BRP Datu Kalantiaw i BRP Rajah Humabon. Ostatni z nich mimo upływu lat cały czas pozostaje w eksploatacji.

Niszczyciele eskortowe typu Cannon

Po włączeniu się Stanów Zjednoczonych do wojny w 1941 roku, US Navy musiała w krótkim czasie znacząco zwiększyć ilość posiadanych jednostek eskortowych, które mogłyby zwalczać niemieckie okręty podwodne. W związku z tym rozpoczęto budowę kilku serii niszczycieli eskortowych, nieco mniejszych i prostszych od typowych niszczycieli, a co za tym idzie łatwiejszych w produkcji. Pod koniec 1942 roku zamówionych zostało 116 niszczycieli eskortowych typu Cannon.

USS Atherton

Okręty te miały 93 m długości i wyporność 1620 ton. Napęd stanowiły 4 silniki diesla GM Mod. 16-278A o mocy 6000 KM. Zapewniały one prędkość 21 węzłów i zasięg około 20 000 km przy prędkości 12 węzłów. Uzbrojenie składało się z 3 armat kalibru 76,2 mm, 2 działek przeciwlotniczych kalibru 40 mm, 8 działek przeciwlotniczych kalibru 20 mm, 3 wyrzutni torped i 9 wyrzutni bomb głębinowych. Załoga liczyła 15 oficerów i 201 marynarzy.

Do końca wojny zbudowano 72 okręty tego typu. Był to okręty typowej, wojennej produkcji – proste, ale solidnie wykonane. W trakcie wojny 8 z nich przekazano siłom Wolnych Francuzów a 8 Brazylijskiej Marynarce Wojennej. Po wojnie pozostałe okręty typu Cannon również przekazano innym państwom. 11 trafiło do Francji, 4 do Grecji, 3 do Włoch, 2 do Japonii (później przekazano je Filipinom), 6 do Holandii, 3 do Poru, 3 kolejne otrzymały Filipiny (łącznie 5, ale dwa wykorzystano jako źródło części zamiennych), 2 do Korei Południowej (później przekazano je Filipinom), 4 trafiły na Tajwan, jeden do Tajlandii i 2 do Urugwaju.

BRP Rajah Humabon

Większość z nich wycofano z eksploatacji w latach 60. i 70. po czym zezłomowano. Jeden z greckich niszczycieli został zwrócony US Navy, która pozostawiła go jako okręt-muzeum. Najciekawiej wyglądała jednak historia jednostek przekazanych Filipinom, ponieważ z 5 okrętów, jeden – BRP Rajah Humabon, cały czas pozostaje w eksploatacji.

Długowieczna fregata BRP Rajah Humabon

BRP Rajah Humabon rozpoczął swoją karierę jako niszczyciel eskortowy USS Atherton (DE-169). Stępkę pod niego położono 14 stycznia 1943 roku, wodowanie miało miejsce 27 maja a do służby okręt wszedł 29 sierpnia.

Drugowojenna kariera niszczyciela nie obfitowała w wiele ciekawych wydarzeń aż do ostatnich dni wojny. 5 maja 1945 roku następca Adolfa Hitlera w roli przywódcy III Rzeszy, Karl Dönitz nakazał wszystkim swoim u-bootom zaprzestanie prowadzenia działań bojowych i powrót do baz. Znajdujący się w tym czasie u wybrzeży USA w rejonie Rhode Island U-853 prawdopodobnie nie otrzymał rozkazu i kontynuował działania bojowe, zatapiając węglowiec SS Black Point. Następnego dnia zespół bojowy w skład którego wchodził USS Atherton wytropił go i zatopił.

BRP Rajah Humabon

Po zakończeniu walk na Atlantyku, niszczyciel został przeniesiony na Pacyfik, gdzie pozostał do grudnia 1945 roku. 10 grudnia okręt został wycofany z służby i przeniesiony do rezerwy, w której pozostał do 1955 roku. 14 czerwca 1955 roku okręt został przekazany Japonii i po zmianie nazwy na JDS Hatsuhi wszedł ponownie do służby jako jeden z pierwszych okrętów Japońskich Morskich Sił Samoobrony.

Pod japońską banderą okręt służył do 1975 roku, po czym został zwrócony US Navy, ale pozostawiono go w rezerwie w Japonii. 23 grudnia 1978 roku niszczyciel został przekazany kolejnemu właścicielowi, tym razem Filipińskiej Marynarce Wojennej. Okręt otrzymał nazwę RPS Rajah Humbon i został przeholowany do Korei Południowej, w celu przeprowadzenia remontu i modernizacji.

W trakcie prac okręt dozbrojono, wykorzystując uzbrojenie z dwóch innych fregat typu Cannon przekazanych Filipinom. Oficjalnie Rajah Humbon wszedł do służby 27 lutego 1980 roku. Po kilku miesiącach eksploatacji, 23 czerwca 1980 roku przeklasyfikowano go na fregatę, zmieniając nazwę na BRP Rajah Humbon,

BRP Data Kalantiaw

Wykorzystywano ją do 1993 roku, kiedy to z racji wieku jednostki podjęto decyzję o wycofaniu jej z eksploatacji. W styczniu 1996 roku podjęto jednak decyzję o ponownym wcieleniu okrętu do służby z powodu braku wystarczającej ilości okrętów wojennych. Przed powrotem do służby przeprowadzono kolejny remont, w trakcie którego wymieniono wiele systemów i napęd, instalując silniki GM-EMD 16-978E7 o łącznej mocy 6140 KM.

Mimo przeprowadzonych prac, ani trochę nie zmieniono sylwetki okrętu, zachowując jego wygląd z okresu II wojny światowej. Za wyjątkiem wyrzutni bomb głębinowych, pozostawiono całe oryginalne uzbrojenie. Chociaż Rajah Humbon ma prawie 75 lat, cały czas pozostaje w eksploatacji jako fregata patrolowa.

Pozostałe filipińskie jednostki typu Cannon

Filipiny otrzymały łącznie 5 niszczycieli typu Cannon, z których 3 wprowadzono do eksploatacji, a dwa wykorzystano jako źródło części zamiennych. Jednym z nich był BRP Data Sikatuna, ex-USS Amick. Stępkę pod niego położono 30 listopada 1942 roku, wodowanie miało miejsce 27 maja 1943 roku a do służby okręt wszedł 26 lipca 1943 roku.

BRP Data Kalantiaw

W 1955 roku okręt trafił do Japonii, a w 1975 roku został zwrócony US Navy, która 13 września 1976 roku przekazała go Filipinom. Po remoncie i modernizacji wykorzystywano go 1989 roku, po czym po wycofaniu z służby rozebrano go na części i zezłomowano.

Kolejnym okrętem był BRP Data Kalantiaw, ex-USS Booth. Stępkę pod niego położono 30 stycznia 1943 roku, wodowanie miało miejsce 21 czerwca a do służby okręt wszedł 19 września 1943 roku. Po zakończeniu wojny okręt wycofano do rezerwy, w której pozostał aż do drugiej połowy lat 60. 15 grudnia 1967 roku został wypożyczony Filipinom, a w 1978 roku oficjalnie sprzedany.

Niestety kariera okrętu nie była zbyt długa, ponieważ 21 września 1981 roku huragan Clara wyrzucił go na skały niedaleko wyspy Calayan. Okrętu nie udało się ocalić.
