A Brief History of the Sultanate of Buayan Darussalam
Sultanate is a the system of governance that has been practiced by the Muslim (Moro) people even long before the coming of Islam in Mindanao and Sulu in 1340 and Christianity in Cebu and Limasawa in 1521. This Sultanate is composed of several principalities ruled by datus.
At first, the Island of Mindanao was ruled by a Sultan known as Sultan sa Maguindanao with a Seat of Sultanate of what is now known as Cotabato City. As time goes on, it was moved to Katuli/Salimbao at Nuling now Sultan Kudarat Municipality. This sultanate split into two when the people of the upstream (Sa Raya) and the lower stream (Sa Ilud) have some differences, paving the way for the establishment of the Sultante of Buayan and the Sultanate of Maguindanao (Cotabato).
I would liked to make a brief presentation of some important episodes of the Sultanate of Buayan, emanating from the reign of Sultan Mohamad Anwaruddin Utto otherwise known as Datu Utto and Datu Sa Sapakan, Sultan Kudanding Camsa and Sultan Akmad Utto Camsa.
