isang mga kapatid ng Prins ng Luzon,
00:38.7
na pagkakataon na ay
00:40.4
ang Admiral ng Sultanate ng Brunei.
00:43.3
Pero kung paano nila
00:44.6
ayang mga mga pagkakataon na mga pagkakataon?
00:46.5
Kung paano nila ang mga mga pagkakataon?
00:48.5
Ito ay ang tari ng
00:49.7
kung paano ang Europeans
00:50.7
na-abducta ang magandang mga kapatid,
00:52.7
ang mga kapatid na mga kapatid ang Luzon.
00:54.9
At kung paano na ang mga kapatid na mga kapatid
00:56.9
at ang mga kapatid na mga kapatid

O hindi ka pampangan,
01:13.6
Welcome back to my channel!
01:14.9
It's me, Kirby Arroyo,
01:16.1
your friendly Pinoy historian.
01:17.8
At sa video ngayon,
01:18.8
mag-aaral natin sa
01:20.0
mga kapatid na mga kapatid
01:21.7
mga kapatid na mga kapatid,
01:22.2
mga kapatid na mga kapatid,
01:23.2
ngunit sa pag-aaral natin
01:24.9
sa mga kapatid na mga kapatid,
03:58.6
sa pag-aaral natin
03:59.7
at mga kapatid darandas
04:01.0
Itis na Itis na Itis na Itis,
04:13.7
manage to capture four vessels
04:16.3
including the flagship
04:19.0
Raja Ache himself
04:20.5
The prince and his crew
04:25.6
despite the tense situation,
04:27.4
a surprising twist of fate unfolded
04:29.6
Initially intending
04:30.8
to hold the young prince hostage
04:32.6
for a hefty ransom,
04:34.0
the Spaniards soon realized
04:37.0
of their captain's identity
04:38.4
He was no ordinary prince
04:40.8
And this Prince of Luzon
04:44.5
the beloved grandson
04:47.0
Sultan Bolquilla of Brunei
04:52.1
aided the Spaniards
04:53.3
when they were in dire need
04:55.1
Because just a few weeks prior
04:56.6
to this encounter,
04:57.6
when the Spaniards needed help,
04:59.4
when they were starving
05:00.5
and ran out of provisions,
05:02.0
they sought the aid
05:03.1
from the Sultanate of Brunei
05:04.4
And they were allowed
05:05.5
by the Sultan of Brunei
05:07.6
at one of Brunei's ports
05:09.0
where they were warmly welcomed
05:10.5
and fed by the locals
05:14.2
owed their survival
05:16.2
and the benevolence
05:17.4
of the Sultan of Brunei
05:18.9
Now, Raja Aceh himself
05:20.7
was also no ordinary ruler
05:22.5
He was the future
05:26.0
on his way back home
05:27.2
to reclaim his rightful throne
05:32.6
the Kingdom of Luzon
05:33.9
held a prestigious position
05:37.2
and well-established
05:38.4
maritime trading network
05:46.7
And during his lifetime,
05:48.3
Raja Aceh's people,
05:50.3
were often mistaken
05:51.4
for Chinese traders
05:52.5
in other parts of the world
05:54.1
due to their lucrative monopoly
05:55.9
on the maritime trade with China
05:57.7
Because during the Ming Dynasty of China,
06:00.0
sea trade with the rest of the world
06:01.6
was officially banned
06:02.8
except for the Kingdom of Luzon
06:04.8
And their ships were a familiar sight
06:06.5
in the busting ports of China,
06:08.8
and Southeast Asia
06:09.9
trading South African commodities
06:11.7
and forging diplomatic ties
06:14.5
Raja Aceh's own parents,
06:16.5
Raja Salalila of Luzon
06:18.7
and Dayang Ismeria of Brunei and Sulu
06:21.4
laid the foundations
06:22.8
not only of Manila's
06:24.7
pre-colonial walled city,
06:26.7
but perhaps more importantly,
06:28.9
they also laid the foundations
06:30.7
of a political system
06:33.3
the once-rivaled royal houses
06:37.5
ensuring that these paramount leaders
06:39.9
remained connected by blood
06:42.7
the untimely death
06:45.2
marked a pivotal moment
06:46.7
in the unfolding of Raja Aceh's story
06:50.6
the young widow and queen,
06:52.9
with the responsibility
06:54.2
of leading their realm
06:55.8
while preparing her young son,
06:58.7
to ascend the throne,
07:00.0
an immense burden
07:01.1
for a grieving mother
07:02.2
Now on the other hand,
07:03.6
across the Pasig River,
07:05.1
Malangsik of Tondo,
07:06.8
the ambitious nephew
07:08.3
of Raja Salalila,
07:09.8
saw an opportunity
07:11.1
to consolidate his power
07:12.7
and secure his own election
07:14.9
as the paramount king of Luzon
07:17.0
In the face of adversity,
07:18.7
Raja Aceh sought the guidance
07:20.7
of his maternal grandfather,
07:22.5
Sultan Bolquilla of Brunei
07:26.0
offered his support
07:26.9
to his beloved grandson,
07:29.2
between Brunei and Luzon
07:32.1
soon after his encounter
07:33.7
with the Spaniards in 1521,
07:36.0
Raja Aceh's determination
07:38.8
led to his victory
07:40.4
over his older cousin,
07:42.0
Malangsik of Tondo
07:44.4
placing his younger brother,
07:46.5
as the new Lakandula of Tondo
07:50.2
his own rightful place
07:52.1
as the Raja of Manila
07:54.0
and the paramount king of Luzon
07:57.7

07:58.5
that you would like to see
07:59.3

to Raja Ache's captivity
09:03.8
Raja Ache's charm
09:05.3
and resourcefulness
09:06.6
were said to have played
09:09.0
in his eventual release
09:10.8
Now, rumor has it that
09:12.0
he even offered gold
09:13.5
to the Portuguese captain
09:14.9
João Lopes Carvalho
09:16.7
to secure his freedom
09:18.4
it's fascinating to see
09:20.8
and personal connections
09:22.3
played a significant role
09:25.0
this historic encounter
09:27.7
to his grandfather
09:28.7
for their survival,
09:31.0
treated the young prince
09:33.1
and promptly returned
09:34.5
the treasures they had looted
09:36.1
Perhaps they were afraid
09:41.1
the most powerful ruler
09:42.8
in maritime Southeast Asia
09:47.9
the Prince of Luzon
09:48.9
presented the Spaniards
09:50.4
with a highly skilled pilot
09:53.9
through the waters
09:54.7
of Southeast Asia
09:57.8
the bustling source
09:58.8
of the much-coveted
10:02.3
accepted the gift
10:05.4
with a newfound respect
10:07.9
So among the crew
10:14.3
bustling port city
10:18.0
A man of remarkable talent,
10:21.9
the precious gift of freedom
10:24.0
Pasekulan was not just
10:25.5
an ordinary crew member
10:27.3
He possessed brilliance
10:31.2
of the Spanish language
10:33.1
And this remarkable combination
10:35.8
an invaluable asset
10:40.7
it was that Pasekulan,
10:42.7
Spanish-speaking abilities,
10:44.4
took on the critical task
10:45.9
of guiding the Magellan-Elcano expedition
10:48.7
through the treacherous waters
10:50.1
of Southeast Asia
10:51.4
As mentioned earlier,
10:53.6
of the expedition
10:54.8
had constantly been lost at sea
10:57.8
running out of provisions
10:59.3
It was Pasekulan's expertise
11:03.8
And through his guidance,
11:05.7
navigated the waters
11:07.0
of Southeast Asia
11:08.1
from the Sulu Sea
11:09.1
to the famed Spice Islands
11:12.3
if we think about it,
11:14.0
of the Magellan-Elcano expedition
11:16.0
and their voyage back
11:17.8
owed a great deal
11:18.9
to the benevolence
11:19.8
of Raja Aceh of Luzon
11:21.5
and Sultan Molquilla of Brunei
11:24.4
to the indispensable skills
11:26.8
It's astonishing to realize
11:28.5
that our ancestors
11:29.7
were anything but
11:32.4
The prominence of Luzon,
11:35.6
ancient Southeast Asian kingdoms
11:37.5
in the pre-colonial geopolitics
11:39.7
and global economy
11:42.2
to the rich tapestry
11:49.5
of the Philippines
11:52.5
of a Spanish-speaking navigator
11:56.4
before the Spaniards
12:00.3
flourishing trade networks
12:02.0
between Southeast Asian kingdoms
12:04.8
highlight a reality
12:07.7
colonial narratives
12:11.5
passive observers
12:14.5
active participants
12:16.0
in the global exchange
12:21.9
after their departure,
12:25.3
of the expedition,
12:31.7
a triumphant moment
12:38.4
the journey may have ended
12:40.9
of this epic encounter
12:42.3
and this epic expedition
12:44.8
for generations to come
12:46.2
for centuries to come
12:49.4
would later be known
12:55.6
continued to play
12:58.2
of Southeast Asia
13:08.4
as one of the last
13:09.4
paramount kings of Luzon,
13:12.1
along with his brother
13:13.2
Lakandula of Tondo
13:21.8
over the thriving
13:22.9
centers of wealth
13:24.8
in the pre-colonial Philippines
13:28.1
to the colonial miseducation
13:39.1
simply surrendered
13:43.0
Just because the Spaniards
13:47.2
While it was true that
13:48.5
he welcomed the arrival
13:52.3
and that he was open
13:53.4
to friendly negotiations
13:55.0
with the conquistadors,
13:56.4
this was in reality
13:58.5
of their diplomacy
14:00.2
is what they usually do
14:02.7
like the Spaniards
14:04.7
seeking friendship
14:09.9
the Spaniards promised
14:11.0
the kings in Manila
14:14.1
of conquering Luzon
14:15.5
and that their only aim
14:16.9
was to peacefully settle
14:19.1
of the flourishing
14:20.3
international trade
14:24.0
these turned out to be
14:26.0
but false promises
14:28.8
It was a treachery
14:31.0
with the tragic burning
14:32.3
of the ancient world city
14:36.1
and the final conquest
14:42.5
the end of an era
14:47.5
the once prosperous
14:51.0
And I'm also planning
14:55.0
on how the Spaniards
14:57.1
along with my series
14:58.0
my upcoming series
14:58.9
on how the Spaniards
15:00.0
conquered the Visayas
15:02.2
for these upcoming videos
15:04.7
Now, it's important for us
15:05.8
to understand that
15:07.9
relationship with the Europeans
15:14.6
in Southeast Asian geopolitics
15:17.9
were multifaceted
15:19.3
One can only imagine
15:20.6
the delicate balance
15:26.6
historic encounters
15:27.9
with the Europeans
15:29.0
For while his aid
15:30.0
to the expedition
15:31.0
was a pragmatic measure
15:32.2
to ensure his own survival
15:33.7
and that of the Europeans
15:41.7
his own ambitions
15:42.9
and more importantly
15:46.3
as a paramount ruler
15:49.1
between the kingdoms
15:50.3
in Southeast Asia
15:51.6
were intricate webs
15:53.9
and economic relationships
15:55.8
Raja Ache's marriage
16:01.1
who later reigned
16:04.1
the King of Luzon
16:05.2
carried immense significance
16:11.1
and the surrounding region
16:13.4
of political power
16:15.4
of maritime trade
16:22.9
and civilizations
16:25.2
the Kingdom of Luzon
16:28.2
of maritime trade
16:35.5
greatness of our past
16:39.3
with the Magellan
16:40.3
El Cano expedition
16:44.1
interconnectedness
16:46.0
and the undeniable
16:49.7
tapestry of history
16:51.3
And like what I've always said before
16:53.0
there's still so many things
16:54.3
that we need to learn
16:57.2
about our ancestors
17:00.2
But please keep in mind that
17:01.8
knowing our roots
17:05.4
nostalgic longing
17:06.8
for the glitz and glamour
17:22.7
