Mangubat (Mang-gubat) (Spanish: Guerrear); [4] is a Hispanic Filipino surname of Mactan Island origin which means " TO WAGE WAR " [5] [6] [7] in Cebuano language.

Contents

It belongs to a noble lineage according to Vicente de Cadenas y Vicent [8] the Cronista Rey de Armas of the Kingdom of Spain, and the last King of Arms appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Justice.

According to Don Gonzalo Lavin del Noval King of Arms of the Kingdom of Spain, genealogist and Lawyer, the Mangubat Spanish heraldry or the Royal Arms of the family, is an Azure shield, a gold pike (weapon) or pica, set on stick [lower-alpha 1] and positioned vertically at the center of the shield. [9]

As a surname it predated the year 1849 Claveria's Decree. Restricted and exclusively used for the male lines of Rajah Mangubat who was the king of Mactan, son and successor of Lapu-Lapu in the 16th century to avoid any false claims to special rights and privileges belonging only to the Spanish conquerors, knights, Lords and nobles/

When the kingdom of Mactan joined the Spanish Empire in late 1560s, led by Rajah Mangubat the inhabitants of Mactan Island left the Island together with the Spaniards to wage war for the conquest of Luzon, Mindanao, Borneo, and all the other Islands for the purpose of unifying the archipelago originally composed of several independent kingdoms and dominions with peoples of different cultures, religions, languages and ethnic backgrounds into one single state with one central government known as the Spanish East Indies.

recounted by Fr. Juan de Medina in his writing in year 1630 as the most warlike race of people in the archipelago on the accounts of their war exploit and service in conquering the country for the furt

Their war stories, conquests, and achievements are displayed on the Mangubat's Coat of Arms blazoned by the Spanish king of Arms and accorded by Emperador Philip II of Spain of the Iberian Union

The successful territorial and political integration of pre-Hispanic kingdoms eventually led to Filipino Nationalism, and Filipino Nationhood that later became a separate and new independent country in year 1946.

Etymology

The term is ancient, appearing in both noun and verb forms in the books contemporaneous with the pintados age.

A mangubat was a man who left his homeland, family, and people mainly for war adventure, for tattooing, for honor and fame, and for the spoils of war, with the implication that he planned to return home with his newly won fortune and fame. It does not include the concept of staying in the place one has conquered for in the Pintados culture for one to have a tattoo one must prove himself in battle.

The word existed in both a noun form (mangubat, the person traveling for war adventure) [10] and a verb form (mangubat, to travel for war or participate in one of these adventures).

Mangubat when related to a name, it usually means marauders, pirates and warriors [11] [12] in the Visayas. Antonio de Morga, in his book published in 1609 Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (Events of the Philippine Islands), mentions that the term means "to go to war and raid for plunder" and described the native as "a race less inclined to agriculture, skillful in navigation and eager for war and raids for pillage and booty". [13] [14] the term was also used by Francisco Baltazar (1778–1862) in his 1838 book Florante at Laura to means "to go for battle". [15] The term is derived from two Filipino words – the verb mang (to do) and the noun gubat (war). [16] "Gubat" is a common word for war in the language of the Visayans,the ancient Tagalog, [17] the Ilocano people, [18] the Igorot people, [lower-alpha 2] in Mindanao, and in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. [lower-alpha 3]

Brief description of the Mangubat warriors

"Their weapons consist of large knives curved like cutlasses (Lagarao or Sanggot?), spears (Bancao,bangkaw) and caraças (shields). They employ the same kinds of boats as the inhabitants of Luzon. They have the same occupations, products, and means of gain as the inhabitants of all the other islands (i.e. Islands of the Visayas and Mindanao). These Visayans which they call Mangubat are a race less inclined to agriculture, and are skilful in navigation, and eager for war and raids for pillage and booty. Mangubat, this means "to go out for plunder." [19] [20]

Mangubat line of succession Mangubat line of succession.jpg
Mangubat line of succession

The time when the Philippines was still part of the Spanish Empire, the Spanish government recognized the authority of pre-Spanish kings in the Philippine archipelago who then became known as cabezas(meaning Chief or Head) during hispanization of the region. From year 1565 up to 1780s [21] the title of Cabeza(chief or leader) was hereditary, passing to the oldest son from the first Datu (Kings) who became the first cabezas. The hereditary succession was abolished in favor of the election in year 1780s. The earliest Baptismal book in Mactan Island recorded Lorenzo Mangubat as its Cabeza in year 1719(the record still available in year 1960s until it was reported missing, and the oldest Baptismal record available as of year 2012 only started in year 1850s).

The Battle of Mactan was fought on a beach in Mactan Island between Spanish forces led by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan along with local allies, and Lapulapu, the chieftain of the island, on the early morning hours of April 27, 1521. Magellan, a Portuguese-born commander serving the Spanish Empire who led an expedition that ultimately circumnavigated the world for the first time, commanded a small Spanish contingent in an effort to subdue Mactan led by Lapulapu under the Spanish crown. The sheer number of Lapulapu's forces, compounded with issues associated with the location and the armor, ultimately resulted in a disastrous defeat to the Europeans and the death of Magellan. Surviving members of Magellan's crew continued the expedition under the command of Juan Sebastian de Elcano, who completed the journey in September 1522.

Rajah Humabon later baptized as Don Carlos Valderrama, was one of the recorded chiefs in Cebu who encountered Ferdinand Magellan in the 16th century. Humabon ruled at the time of the arrival of Portuguese-born Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan in the Philippines in 1521. Humabon, his wife, and his subjects were the first known Christian converts in the Philippines. However, since there were no Catholic priests in Cebu from 1521 to 1565, this Christianity was not practised until the return of the Spaniards to Cebu. There is no official record of Humabon's existence before the Spanish contact. The existing information was written by Magellan's Italian voyage chronicler, Antonio Pigafetta on Humabon and the indigenous Philippine peoples that existed prior to Spanish colonization. Rajah Humabon is cited as the reason for why Magellan fought in the Battle of Mactan, as the latter wanted to earn the trust of Humabon by helping him subdue his opponent Lapulapu, one of the chiefs of Mactan. Despite being referred to as "king" in the journal of Antonio Pigafetta, he was not one like in the manner of a monarch in centralized societies, it is plausible that the title was mistakenly applied because according to succeeding chroniclers, there were no kingdoms in the pre-colonial Philippines.
