the town of San Joaquin, along the southern seacoast of Maydia, now Panay.
On the other hand, Datu Bangkaya and his men, accompanied by Negritoes
acting as their guides, crossed the mountainous distance from Binanua-an to

S umakwel, with four other datus - Padohinog, Dumalugdog, Dumangsol, and
Lubay with their families and subalterns left Binanua-an. The biniday of
