ILOILO
According to tradition, the first Malay settlers of Iloilo came from Borneo. Ten datus with their followers and slaves landed in Panay Island at a place then called Sinogbuhan, near the present site of Miagao, Iloilo. The Bornean immigrants found the place inhabited by Negritos living under the rule of a brave chief by the name of Marikudo. From this chief the Bornean datus bought the entire Island of Panay for one gold necklace and one Sadok of gold. They then divided it into three districts or sakops namely, Hamtik, Aklan, and Ilong-Ilong. In later times, Hamtik became Antique, Aklan became Capiz, and Ilong-Ilong Iloilo.
Hamtik was placed under the rule of a datu named Samaquel, who became the ounder of Malandong, the first Malay settlement in Antique. Aklan was placed under the rule of Bankaya, who became the founder of the first Malay settlement in what is now Capiz. And Ilong-Ilong was placed under the rule of a datu named Paiburong who became the founder of the first settlement of Malays in Iloilo.
How Iloilo came to have its present name is very interesting. Before the coming of the Malays the inhabitants of the place were Negritos. These people named Iloilo Irong-Irong because the southwest coast of Panay Island is shaped into a nose and a chin and because the Iloilo River meanders in a nose-shaped line. "Irong' means literally "nose" in English, and "Irong Irong" is equivalent to "like a nose."
