Ten Bornean Datus
1250 AD: Beyer's Migration Theory - The third wave of Malays believed to have been headed by the ten Bornean Datus whosettled in Panay. Legends of the 13th Century, as recorded in Maragtas (a written history of Panay) maintain that ten Dyak Datus (Muslim Chieftains) fled their homeland of Borneo - running from the cruel Sultan Makatunaw who had seized their property and ravaged their wives - sttled on Panay Island. The ten datus established the Confederation of Madyaas with Datu Sumakwel as its ruler. Sumakwel ruled this confederation through his Penal Code which was outlined in his book Maragtas. Known as the Maragtas Code, these are the oldest body of Laws believed to have existed in the Philippines.
