The community of the Bornean datus refers to the traditional ruling class or nobility among certain indigenous groups in Borneo, particularly among the Malays and Dayaks. Datus are often seen as local leaders or chieftains who hold significant social and political influence within their communities. This system reflects a deep-rooted cultural hierarchy and plays a vital role in the governance and social organization of these groups. The concept emphasizes the importance of lineage, heritage, and communal ties in Bornean society.

What is the legend of the 10 Bornean datus?

The legend says that in the 13th century, 10 datus or chieftains from Borneo left their land together with their families and friends to escape the cruelty and injustice of Sultan Makatunaw, the ruler of Borneo. The ten datus were: Datu Puti (the leader), Datu Bangkaya, Datu Dumalugdog, Datu Sumakwel, Datu Lubay, Datu Paiburong, Datu Dumangsil, Datu Balensusa, Datu Paduhinog and Datu Dumangsol. They sailed on their balangays (vintas or boats) without knowing where to go. Finally they reached Panay Island. They bought the island from the chieftain of the Atis or Aetas who were then occupying the island. The chieftain's name was Marikudo and his wife was Maniwantiwan. Three of the datus decided not to settle in Panay but to sail northward. The three were: Datu Puti, Datu Balensusa and Datu Dumangsil. They settled in some parts of Luzon. When Sultan Makatunaw was no longer in power, Datu Puti returned to Borneo. The seven datus who stayed in Panay divided the island into three areas: Hamtik (now Antique), Irong-Irong (now Iloilo), and Aklan (now Aklan and Capiz). Hamtik was under Datu Sumakwel, Irong-Irong was under Datu Paiburong, and Aklan was under Datu Balangkaya.


What is the story of the ten datus?

The story of the ten datus centers around a group of ten noble chieftains from Borneo who fled their oppressive ruler, Sultan Makatunaw. They sailed to the Philippines, seeking a new land where they could establish their own community. They eventually arrived at the island of Panay, where they negotiated with the local leader, Marikudo, and purchased land in exchange for gifts. This tale is often cited as a foundational myth explaining the beginnings of the Visayan people and their settlements.
