Brief History:

In the beginning, the whole of Lanao, meaning Lanao Del Norte and Lanao Del Sur is composed of two (2) Kingdoms "ILIAN". These are "ILIANA URANEN" Uranen Kingdom and "ILIANA BUMBARAN" Bumbaran Kingdom, Iliana Uranen was ruled by Ayunan sa Uranen, who married Inambayan Bolawan, sister of Bantugen, while Iliana Bumbaran was ruled by PASANDALAN A MUROG (the Ayunan), who is married to SANGANINAY DERAGEN of PARAPATANA DELUM. They begot four (4) children named; 1] Datu Dimaampao of Unayan, 2]  Datu Botowanen of Bayabao, 3]  Datu Bataraan Kilaten of Masiu, and 4]  Datu Amerogong Tupaan of Baloi, who were married to four (4) sisters also known as "PATA ENEGAMBAR SA RANAO". Sultan Paramesowara of Malacca known as Sultan Eskander Julkarnain, the father of Potre Diausol Asequin, the mother of Shariff Kabunsuan, organized & sent a group of seven (7) "AULIYA" headed by Shiek Makdom on a mission of preaching & spread Islam in Mindanao. They proceeded to Iliana Bumbaran, but they refused to take heed. The native even attempted to assassinate the group, but due to the help of Almighty Allah, they were saved by the fire that miraculously exist between the group, which eventually resulted to the destruction of Bumbaran because they were burned. The only saved in that catastrophe are the four brothers & three of their cousins because they were at the time pouching Deer in the Unayan area. The four brother now became the PATA PHANGAMPONGO RANAO and their descendant were the one who accept Islamic faith after the coming of Shariff Kabunsuan.

During the time of Datu Pascan of Unayan, the grand son of Dimaampao, Datu Amai Ayunan Simban of Masiu, Datu Popawan of Bayabao and Datu Manangkaya of Baloi, they form the Confederation of Datus for the Pata Phangampongo Ranao. A meeting among the named Datus was set at Sawer, Masiu, Lanao Del Sur, to discuss changes, establish territorial boundaries of their respective areas and to draft and amend the already existing Taritib/Igma of the Phangampongo Ranao. The meeting place was provided with four (4) pillars of stones, called “Debarosan”, for the four (4) Datus. During that historic meeting, Datu Manangkaya of Baloi was absent and so the confederation was named “TLO-A MINEBIT SA KAMPONG KO PHANGAMPONG”, which later on was changed to “TLO-A MIMBAWANGEN KO PHANGAMPONG”. During that meeting the landmarks boundaries was established as follows: 1]  Lakitan III of Madamba for west Unayan & west Masiu, 2]  Lakaden river of Sawer for east Unayan & Masiu proper, 3]  Kitambegun river of Bacayawan Marantao for west Masiu & Bayabao,  4]  Tingao river of Dalama Buadi Puso Buntong for east Masiu & east Bayabao. The territorial boundaries between Baloi and Bayabao were not established because of the absence of Datu Manangkaya. The TLO-A MIMBAWANGEN KO PHANGAMPONG still continues until after a meeting among the different Datus of Lanao in Marawi City somewhere in 1947, when Datu Hadji Ali Tembol of Baloi heard the word “TLO-A PHANGAMPONG KO RANAO-A IKAPAT SO BALOI”, complained about the words and the affair ended with a melee, the PATA PHANGAMPONG KO RANAO was restored but was not formally accepted & declared.

Somewhere in the year 1640, Datu Borowa of western Unayan, grand son of Datu Pascan and great grand son of Sharif Ali Kabunsuan, Datu Alioden Dianatun Naim of Butig, Datu Sarikran Balindong Bzar of Masiu, Datu Akari of Ramain, Datu Dimalawang of Bayabao and Datu Alanak of Baloi agreed in principles to create the Pata Phangampongo Ranao. During this meeting the Unayan region was divided into two (2), the Western Unayan based in Tatariken was ruled by Datu Borowa and the Eastern Unayan based in Butig is ruled by Datu Alioden Dianatun Naim.

His Royal Highness, Sultan Anwar-Uddin Kawasa (1803-1830) of the Sultanate of Maguindanao, proclaimed Datu Arobero of Tatariken, Western Unayan as Sultan of Pagayawan and changed the word Western Unayan to Pagayawan. He is the first Sultan in the entire Pata Phangampongo Ranao to have been enthroned and recognized Sultan by the Sultan of Maguindanao, the only reigning Sultanate in Mindanao except Sulu.

Birth of the Sultanate of Western Unayan, now Pagayawa

The word Pagayawan emanates from Maguindanao during the time of Sultan Anwar-uddin Kawasa of the Sultanate of Maguindanao, now, Mandanaue Darussalam, the 17th Sultan (1803-1830). During that time, there were some dreaded animals appearing in Maguindanao, which had killed many people in the area. In mount Tantaon, now called PC Hill, was inhabited by Giants, Big Snakes and other dreaded animals. Along Kakar River, inhabitants have to lift up their stairs every Friday afternoon because Seven (7) Tamaraws always appears in the area and kills people, accordingly these Tamaraws can even climb up stair.

Because of these persistent problems, the Sultan requested Datu Arobero of Tatarikn, Lanao, who is known for his spiritual power, to solve it for them. Fortunately, upon arrival of Datu Arobero, all the dreaded animals of mount Tantaon vowed down to him and were lead away to mount Upi. But before they fled away these animals complaint regarding the presence of the various Swarms, as they were biting them, accordingly. Datu Arobero prevented the Swarms and brought them to Lanao, hence, the grave of Sultan Arobero even now a day is always surrounded by different kinds of Bees. All of the Seven (7) Tamaraws likewise vowed down to him and all of them were easily tied by Datu Arobero. One of the Tamaraws is their leader because the two horns are all half colored golden yellow. When Datu Arobero held and grasped the two Horns, two Rainbows (Pagayaws) appeared and stand on his two shoulders in the form of horns.

When Datu Arobero returned to his hometown of Tatarikn, Lanao, he was accompanied by forty (40) men on orders of Sultan Kawasa of Maguindanao. The men brought Datu Arobero in a royal carriage called “Tangkongan” to his home place in Tatariken, Lanao. After the arrival of Datu Arobero in Tatariken, he was pursued and joined later by Sultan Kawasa of Maguindanao, to formally proclaim him as the new Sultan of Pagayawan, somewhere in the year 1806. The word Pagayawan was derived from the word Pagayaw, meaning Rainbow, which stand on top of the two shoulders of Datu Arobero. The areas to be ruled by Sultan Arobero is still the western part of the Unayan area including the coastal towns up to Zamboanga Sibugay, once ruled by his Grand Father Datu Borowa, somewhere in the year 1640s.

'''Brief History of Sultan Arobero of Pagayawan '''

Datu Arobero is the eldest among the three (3) children of Nayo of Pagayawan, daughter of Anta of Tubok (one of the Lima (5) Nonies & direct descendant of Sharif Ali Kabunsuan) and Datu Mbarong, great grand son of Sharif Ali Kabuansuan through Sultan Raja Serongan of Maguindanao, the son of Borowa, known leader of western Unayan, at par with Dianaton of Butig of eastern Unayan and one of the leader who originally wrote & updated the Taritib and Igma of the Pata Pongamponga Ranao (Lanao).

Sultan Arobero was the first Sultan recognized and proclaimed in the whole of Pata Pangampongo Ranao (Lanao) by the Sultan of the Sultanate of Maguindanao. There was Datu who claimed to be Sultan in one of the Pata Pangampongo Ranao (Lanao) during those days but, he was a self proclaimed because there is no blessing and was not recognized by the Sultan of Maguindanao. The title of Sultan can be acquired if there was concurrence of the “Pata Polaos of Maguindanao” duly approved by the Sultan and that he can traced his blood lineage from Sharif Ali Kabunsuan, the first Sultan of Maguindanao (Mindanao) because he is one of the sons of Ali Zainal Abedin of Johore, one of the direct descendants of Prophet Mohamad (Salallahi wallaihi wasallam), who spread the Islam Religion in Mindanao. Nowadays, the noblest among the royalties that can be inherited for Sultan are those coming from the (Five) Lima Nonies because of the closeness and purity of blood lineage (PORNA).
