On a certain date in the late 1400s and the beginning of the 1500s, the Bruneians led by Nakhoda Ragam Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei would be defeated in their attempt to sack Tondo and Tondo would continue to be the hub of trade of China with the Malay Archipelago, the Pasig Channel or Pasig River.

The Island of Selurong or Lucon to the Portuguese would be affected by the turbulence of the issues of the last Majapahit Emperors Brawijaya VI and Brawijaya VII(Prabu Udara) and the Portuguese would enter the ports of Tondo and Caboloan and establish their factories as well during that time that was until 1528 when the last Emperor of Majapahit, Brawijaya VII would be defeated by the ruler of Demak ending the Majapahit Empire that the records about Majapahit and Selurong would be known despite the Portuguese factories continuing to exist, the formation of Selurong or the Tagarug Kingdom would be anyone’s guess as the Kingdom of Selurong would be not known after the end of Majapahit Empire in 1528 until the Spanish would contact them and majority of the history was just folk tales.
