    The Raiders of The Sulu Sea

    Uploaded by

    Leonil Mendoza
    The document discusses the raiders of the Sulu Sea from the 16th to 19th centuries. It describes how the Ilanun, Balangingi Samal, and Taosug tribes raided settlements throughout Southeast Asia in search of slaves for the growing slave trade. They built formidable warships and weapons to defy colonial forces. While seen as savages, some historians argue they were defending their way of life and culture from colonizers. The document suggests the Philippines could have become majority Muslim if the tribes had defeated colonial powers. It presents an inspiring story of early resistance against oppressors by Filipinos fighting for their freedom and heritage.

    Never forget that the
    Moros(Muslims) were the first
    COLONIZERS of the Philippines.
    They were the first EXPLOITERS
    of the Filipino people. 
    The Sultanates exploited the natural
    resources and the culture of the indigenous
    peoples. Now they even call the traditional
    clothing, dances, food, customs, and tools
    of the tribal indigenous peoples as Moro.
    The raiders of the Sulu Sea Relevance to the Philippine
    History
    They were known in history as brutal savages, fearless slave raiders and
    above all - pirates. Hailing from the Sulu Sea region in the Southern
    regions of the Philippines, the Ilanun, Balangingi Samal & Taosug tribes
    raided and plundered settlements in the Philippines, Borneo, Java, the
    Straits of Malacca and all over South East Asia in the search for human
    cargo to feed the growing demands of the slave trade in the 16th to 19th
    century.  
    The raiders of the Sulu Sea Relevance to the Philippine
    History
    They wielded deadly weapons, were well organized and built
    formidable fast warships that ran circles around the bigger and heavier
    Western ships. These men, either sanctioned by their respective
    Sultanates or their own tribal leaders, defied colonial occupation and
    rule, instigating a wave of terror throughout the archipelago for more
    than 300 years.  
    The raiders of the Sulu Sea Relevance to the Philippine
    History
    But there is evidence that they were not merely the savages they were
    made out to be. Some historians have argued that these were
    indigenous people merely defending their way of life from the conquering
    colonial forces. Others have said that we need to put this violence and
    slave raids into the proper perspective. This is a story of men who clung
    fiercely to their faith, eluding a technologically superior foe. It is also a
    story of how these men who lived by the sword, eventually died by it. 
    LEARNING EXPERIENCES
    Overall, this activity is not only
    amusing for me to learn. But it is
    also an eye opener for me to see
    how the war really started out along
    with the thoughts of me possibly
    being a moro if the tribes had won.
    The whole Philippines could’ve
    been all Muslims if we won that
    fight.
    This story is another
    inspiring film to watch for us to
    see yet again how we first
    retaliated against an oppressor.
    Despite of this not really ending
    well, it still is a story of our own
    that showed how the Filipino
    people have always fought for
    their freedom which is making
    me love my own heritage more
    and more.
