On 1570, the Muslims have already completely converted the coastal and bay regions of Saludong except for the area of Sambals, this process has been going in decades since the first decades of the 16th century and the initial areas where islam became the only religion whose initial areas where in they are the majority are in the towns of Faru, Makabebe and Binalatongan in the early 16th century due to peace agreement with the Bruneians have made after the invasion of Tondo a couple of decades ago, in the 1580’s the Muslims would completely proselytize the regions of the lower banks of Matalag and Kayakayam which are the tributaries of River Kahayan or Bannag in the town of Piat and in upper reaches of Agno in Kaboloan to Islam and the Sultanate of Saludong is established with the center in Macabebe in the 1580’s and they would adopt the Jawi or Arabic Alphabet as their writing system.

Displacement and Portuguese expansion

Due to the rulers of Kaboloan being of the same dynasty as the ruler of the Sultanate of Saludong and the conversion of Kaboloan would result in the temporal absorbtion of Kaboloan by 1590 to the Sultanate of Saludong, however the rulers of Kaboloan would be made as peers as they are of the same dynasty, the Muslim evangelization would cause the Kaboloan encroachment of the Sambals to the West and the South by the people of Kaboloan, their relations with the Sultanate of Mataram and Aceh would strengthen since 1590 and starting the 1580's the Wukou of Japan would encounter the Muslims in Saludong, the muslims would isolate the Hindus who live inland due to the complete conversion of the areas of Lower Kayakam or Itawis region which is around the town of Piat and the areas of the old Kingdom of Kaboloan to Islam.

The Chinese would call Selurong or Sambali as Sanfotsi when the Sultanate was established and the areas under the Bruneians which is Liusung, Ma-Yi and Dongdu and Maguindanao Sultanate and its environs as Toupo.

The Kingdom of Dapitan was at war with the Sultanate of Ternate in the Moluccas in 1563 which are also raiding Butuan and the other Visayan realms would also have conflicts with the muslims in Sulu and Mindanao as well, the Kingdom of Dapitan in Mindanao and in the Budyol Island would have an alliance with Portugal due to the muslims being a threat to them, however in this point the prosetylization of Muslims in Mindanao and Sulu have been advanced and most of Southern Coastal Mindanao have been majority Muslim by 1580 like in Saludong and the central and Jambangan remaining Pagan, the Portuguese would make the ruler of Dapitan as their vassal in the 1580’s.

By the 1570’s there was a marriage between the Saludongese muslim nobility and the Bruneian scions in the North, the marriage of Princess Kandarapa of Tondo to one of the nobles of Saludong before the official establishment of the Islamic Sultanate of Saludong, Lakandula would dispute his young nephew, Soliman’s succession in pretext of seniority, but the nobles would prefer Soliman III as the ruler of the Kingdom of Manila, Kumintang and Tondo and the master of the areas of the island of Saludong that is under Bruneian Suzerainty, Lakandula would be forced to bow, Tondo is the areas taken by the Bruneians from the Saludongese in the late 15th century.

The lesser Sunda islands especially the ones under Portuguese control in the 1580’s is Christianized which would include the Island of Bali which is currently an island which was ruled by the hindu nobles of the old Majapahit Empire who converted to Christianity, the Christianization of the East and Islamization of the West would drive the Hindus to Saludong and Borneo, but the journey would be very difficult, the Bataks and the Kingdom of Sunda would convert to Christianity as well.

On 1590’s the Sultanate of Saludong in the south would be known as Sanfotsi or Sanbutsu to the Japanese, which was its name before the area was under the Majapahit influence suzerainty in the 14th century, apparently the Japanese and the Chinese considered it as a Majapahit province till the Sultanate of Saludong’s existence was recognized by China and Japan, the Sultanates of Saludong and Magindanaw would be virtually a vassal of the Bruneians in the beginning although Saludong would be having good relations with the Sultanate of Aceh and Mataram which are both former parts of Majapahit, the first known sultan of Saludong who is not mythical would be Mahmoud I who is believed to be the ruler of Kaboloan, Kasikis who had converted or he is Balagtas or Tarik Soliman, but no one knows for sure since they disappeared from records after Mahmoud I became the sultan.

Magindanaw and Butuan would be rivals in territory since the island of Maranon/Mindanaw is partitioned between them in the late 17th century which would be a source of conflict and rivalry between the two, the Kingdom of Sugbu and Ternate would ally with Butuan against the Magindanaw Sultanate and Mangatang Chiefdom which is a vassal of the Sulu Sultanate, the two kingdoms would be close to each other.Magindanaw and Butuan would be rivals in territory since the island of Maranon is partitioned between them in the late 17th century which would be a source of conflict and rivalry between the two, the Kingdom of Sugbu and Ternate would ally with Butuan against the Magindanaw Sultanate and Mangatang Kingdom which is a vassal of the Sulu Sultanate, the two kingdoms would be close to each other and later Butuan and Sugbu would be protectorates of the Portuguese Empire like Ternate due to an alliance between Sugbu and Butuan with Ternate.

On 1533, Atahualpa was executed and replaced by a series of puppet rulers, namely Manco Inca and Paullu Inca were installed who were murdered due to power struggles which would lead to the Inca Empire being officially annexed in 1549 by the Spanish.

Due to the empire being annexed in 1549, the NeoInca empire ruled by Tupac Amaru would not be recognized of its existence by the Manco Inca, which would lead up to its demise on 1572, due to Viceroy Francisco Toledo declaring a war against Tupac Amaru and executing Tupac Amaru, Vilcambaba is sacked and its inhabitants are moved to the new Christian town of San Francisco de la Victoria de Vilcabamba.

The Portuguese and the Spanish would have problems in the borders in the Amazon basin of their own colonies which would cause border skirmishes and Spain would want a colony in the east which was solved by the later union of Portugal with the Spanish Kingdoms in the latter part of the century.

The Portuguese would now have their rivals the Austrian Habsburgs who started a project to create their colonies in the East, the Portuguese would establish shops in Kota Selurong or Kota Saludong and in Brunei which are under the Bruneian Empire and their missions in Japan which is primarily in Deshima, however the missions would decline, Deshima or Dejima or Degima would be considered as a part of the Portuguese Empire.

The Chiefdom of Mangatang established by Mangal succeeded by the popular Lapu Lapu would be a muslim state connected to both the Magindanaw and would completely Islamize by 1590’s and have marriage alliances with the Sultanate of Magindanaw and it is a part of the Sultanate of Sulu which is a part of the Bruneian Empire itself, both the Kingdoms of Saludong and Mangindanaw at this point are defacto vassals of the Bruneian Empire since majority of the missionaries came from the Bruneian Empire but since the Mangatang is a part of the Sultanate of Sulu, making it a part of the Bruneian Empire which would attract Tausugs and other Muslims to settle the Kingdom.
