The Rebellion of Saludang
On the war between Lakan Gambang and the Sultan of Brunei, Nakhoda Ragam Bolkiah, after the death and defeat of Lakan Gambang, one of the nobles defeated related to Lakan Gambang decided that the nobles in Saluadang should regroup if they want their land to have any future, the noble dreamed that his nation will be put in an unfavorable union in the future and he needs to save his nation from disgrace and slavery, the nation should no longer be called as Tagalog[1] or Taga-Ilog, the Tagalog Dynasty is already gone after the death of Lakan Gambang, another one will take its place, the nobles from Faru, Lihan and Lingayen device a plan to free Saludang from the Bruneians, the nobles thought that the Chinese would do some help for them.
“We will rename our country as Ilugan, which also called as river people”, as the noble said, the founder of the new dynasty wants to redefine the River People Identity of Saludang, the Ilugan Dynasty is thus born from a man who wanted to revive the nation from slavery, the nobles sailed to China and sought help from the Ming in order to restore their country back from Slavery, the Saludanese rebels dominated the whole country, the people never wanted to be enslaved anymore.
The Chinese Emperor sent troops to bring along with the nobles that help against Brunei and the leader of the revolt was married to one of the Chinese noble woman relatives of the Ming emperor at that time, the troops from china deployed by the Emperor joined the nobles in [3]Saludang and fought against the Bruneians, the rebels and the Chinese troops, they landed in Bigan in order to start a war against the Bruneians, Faru and the rest of the Cagayan Valley became a part of the lands controlled by the Ilugan Dynasty, the King of Ilugan Dynasty called himself King of Ilugan people and crowned himself as Timanukum II and took control of the Upper Pampanga river basin and Agno basins, it will take decades and years before they can completely expel the Bruneians, finally after many decades, the Manila bay was destroyed by the Ilugan Dynasty and the people from Kumintang and Namayan[4] are decimated of the war between the troops of the Ilugan Dynasty and the Bruneians, in the end the Dynasty installed by Bruneians were expelled by the Ilugan Dynasty, they would be in a slump for a long time, and Manila bay would lose all of its prestige causing the island to be in a time of Isolation for a time and the only place that trade was made is in Bigan which became the capital after the destruction of Manila bay but the trade was not enough to revive the exchange, the people of Ilugan wanted to trade but the foreign countries lost their interest in the country and its being known for its riches was lost and its value as an strategic trading area was lost.
Timanukum II resettled the depopulated parts of Manila bay with Chinese and Japanese and Promoted Islam to the people of Saludang as a way to prevent another attack by Brunei from happening and Ming will protect them from another attack, Manila and Tondo are merged and renamed as Malilu because it became a Chinese city and the natives left the area.
The people of Saludang will hate the people of Borneo for the rape that they experienced from them, just like the people of Korea will hate the people of Japan the people of Saludang hate the Borneans because they blame the Borneans for the decimation of Namayan and Kumintang[5].
