Description

Inluded in the book are chapters of the coming of Ferdinand Magellan, Adelantado Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, Don Juan de Salcedo, Don Esteban Rodriquez de Figueroa, Governor General Gonzalo Ronquillo de Penalosa and the other conquistadores, because they are characters that are interwoven in the history of the land and therefore must be given their due in our historical life.

The book is lump into centuries, from Datu Payburong's grandson Datu Buyong Ampatuan in the 13th century, Datu Buyong Balan of the 14th century, Datu Disayaran of the fifteenth century, the first known Bornean settler to rebel against the Spanish occupiers in Panay, to his son Datu Bantugan one of the leaders in the Ba-ong revolt in 1586, of the late 15th century, to Datu Pangkug of the 16th century, Datu Mal-am Makiling of the 17th century and to the last recorded Datu of Suaga, Governadorcillo Don Lazaro Makiling in the 18th century.

The main feature of the book is not only on the discovery of the remnants of the datus who stayed and settled in Panay, but also in the discovery of some leaders of the 1896 revolution like Col. Eusebio J. Sanglap, Mayor Felix Serra, and Gen. Pedro Alcantara Monteclaro, who are direct descendants of the Bornean settlers in Panay.

The central figures also include two notable personalities, Fr. Tomas Santaren OSA, writer of History of the Datus and Gen. Pedro Alcantara Monteclaro author of Maragtas, the two original books which form part of the basis of the history of Panay. Other books relating to Panay which were published later were only excerpts, and copied or patterned from the work of the two.
