1692 – In
August, Sultan Muhammad Kaharuddin Kuda invided a party of Sulus living in
Maguindanao to Simoay to support him against his nephew (Manamir). The Tausugs
from Sulu heeded to the call, but finding him with only a small force so that,
they treacherously murdered him and plundered his camp and aggrandized
themselves of many pieces of heavy cannons, which Sultan Kuda transported from
maguindanao to Simoay. The Tausugs returned home with their booty and Manamir’s
party got the ascendancy. But the Sulus, conscious of their inequity and
fearful of rescentment when peace should be restored, fomented trouble beween
Manamir and his brother Anwar, and supported the latter. Skirmishes were kept
up and nightly attacks and assassinations prevailed until both sides were very
much weakened. Their enmity grew bitter and malinug, the son of Anwar killed
his uncle Manamir. Manmir is the rightful Sultan, and on account of his
assassination, he was ever since called Sahid Maupaat – means ‘Died a Martyr.”
(according to the sarsila of the Alontos, Kakai Arag,
the Great Grandfather of Bai Eitha, Bai A Labi a Makadempas sa Marantao and
mother of the Alontos, Pamo and Alos avenged the death of Sultan Kuda by
decapitating the Sultan of Sulu by using a Spanish Toledo blade – Espadila.

The writer is
a descendant/progeny of Rajah Magat Salamat of Cagayan-Isabela Valley by
affinity or consanguinity being the Great Grandson of Vicente Kalaykay married
to Inocencia Paggao Bukad (Malay Ibanag Bloodlines). It was relayed by older
generations and passed on the next the existence of a Principalia Clan in
Cagayan Valley of which my ancestors belong. My surname Taklibon is also a
native surname emanated from the former Itneg Malay (corrupted as Tinggians by
the Spanish interlopers) settlement in the coastal town of Santo Domingo,
Ilokos Sur (though it has not been established yet if the Taklibons were of
Muslim Malay progeny).
The clan name
Taklibon was never been changed with a Spanish sounding surname derived from
the Iberian Peninsula not until the second Hispanization of surnames that the K
was changed into C by virtue of the decree of Governor General Narciso
Claveria, known as the “ Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos” on November 21,
1841. Almost five (5) years earlier before the birth of my Great Great
Grandfather, Mariano Taclibon in 1846.
As it has
been told by my paternal grandfathers Dominador Taclibon y Rubio (born, 1908,
and died, 1995 in Dingras, Ilocos Norte) and Marcos Lucero y Taclibon (born,
1899 and died, 1982) – one of the best Ilocos poets and orators during his
time, that our ancestors were dissidents who never yielded to the whims of the
Spanish friars to be a part of an established community (known as the
Doctrinas) by force or through hamleting of natives. My ancestors preferred
then to get out of the Doctrina and roamed in the wilderness until succeeding
generations settled in the town of Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur and later on to
Badoc in Ilocos Norte and some in the town of Moncada in Tarlac. The clan name
Taklibon was never been changed with a Spanish sounding surname derived from
the Iberian Peninsula not until the second Hispanization of surnames that the K
was changed into C by virtue of the decree of Governor General Narciso
Claveria, known as the “ Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos” on November 21,
1841. Almost five (5) years earlier before the birth of my Great Great
Grandfather, Mariano Taklibon in 1846.

Magat Salamat (1550–?) was one of the four sons of Lakan Dula. Salamat was the
Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Tondo prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. His
eldest brother, Batang Dula, was betrothed to the younger sister of the
Conquistador Martin de Goiti to symbolize the alliance of the Kingdom of Tondo
and the Spanish government. The marriage bore three children: David, Daba and
Dola. Magat Salamat participated in the Tondo Conspiracy (1587–1588) against
the Spaniards (Wikepedia).
The
descendants of Lakan Dula (Datuk Magat Salamat’s father) were hidden in
different parts of the country along sea and river routes to keep them safe
during the intense Spanish persecution of the native aristocracy. There are
five main branches of the direct descendants of Lakan Dula. These are the
branches of the five children of Lakan Dula: Batang Dula, the eldest; Magat
Salamat, the martyr (he was declared dead to avoid his exile to the North
detected by the Spanish authorities); Maria Poloin, the only girl; Dionisio
Capulong; and Felipe Salonga. Batang Dula has three children: David, Daba and
Dola. David was hidden in Candawid, Isla de Batag, Northern Samar; Daba settled
in Candaba, Pampanga; and Dola was given a big tract of land in Candola, San
Luis, Pampanga.
The story is
obscure if Magat Salamat have children when he was executed but most of his
descendants of today are situated in Central Luzon and Mindanao. Maria Poloin
married Alonso Talabos and it is still unclear up to now if they have children.
Current research has not lead to the children of Dionisio Capulong. But some
historians are saying that Dionisio was hidden in Candaba, Pampanga together
with his young niece Daba. Felipe Salonga was described as the lord of Polo
(Wikepedia).
Datu (k)
Magat Salamat was not executed but rather migrated somewhere in Northern Luzon
the way Rajah Soliman self exiled to Caliraya in Quezon Province married to one
of the daughters of the Sultan of Sulu.
200 years
after the founding of Iloko Spanish settlements, as an evidence of Muslim
settlements along the Ilokos Coast, it was noted in 1771 that In Bangui
(northern pueblo of Ilocos), the settlers fights off a raid of Moro pirates who
speak Iloko vernacular. This implies that the raiders had bases along the
Ilokos coastlines (de los Reyes).
