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.

NO! i am a filipino-American. I was born in manila and was taught about him being the national hero - but with the recent news regarding international terrorists and their strong ties to these so called Islamic religion; i believe that he is nothing more than the same people we see in the news.
please do not mistake real Filipinos with the so called moro invaders who have been
trying to over throw the government of the P.I. for many decades.
Those people in the southern areas should be crushed with no remorse!
The the first guy said no, but he is wrong! Im also a Filipino-America, who actually study my heritage. And yes he is a hero to all Filipinos. Lapu-Lapu was never part of this international terrorist, I don't even know if terrorist existed back in his days. If you want to know more about him, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapu-Lapu

Does the US still own the Philippines?
The U.S, and Spain never did own the Philippines. They seemingly made it understood to be by treaties and the Law of Kragg (Law of the Jungle) forceful acquiescence. The U.S. supposedly having bought the Philippines from Spain in the Treaty of Paris of December 10, 1898 signed by both Spain and the U.S. only while the strings of Sultanate governments since the 1400s were not a contracting party in the said treaty. A year after in August 20, 1899. the U.S. signed Bates treaty with the Sultanate government permitting U.S. interests in the Sulus in exchange of respecting the Muslim Islamic customs and traditions along with their visiting rights. So, how could the U.S. ever had owned the Muslim National Archipelago or so-called Philippines. Upon this realization, the U.S. unilaterally abrogated or voided the Bates Treaty without the knowledge of the Sultanate government, so to hide their mistake. No! neither did the Philippine Republic until the self-identified government in manila, thru illegal means with the Americans' assistance, legalized the ownership to the Philippine government on July 4, 1946 Philippine Independence. Later in 1963, Philippine President Diosdado macapagal thru RA-4166 changed the Philippine Independence to June 12, 1898 declaration of independence by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo against the Americans while the manila "government" were alongside the American fighting Gen. Aguinaldo. so also to hide far from the truth so to give credit to the manila government of having deservingly worked for its independence. Although one mistake, because Gen. Aguinaldo's preliminary statement on his declaring the proclamation of Independence, he cited the independence for only Luzon and Visayas and with the exception of Mindanao and Sulu as of the latter two were independent sovereignty States.
