HISTORY OF SAMAL

first and the second waves of migration from
the Malay Region of Southeast Asia,
dynastically ruled by a Datu up to the early
part of the American Regime. The latest
ruling tribal Chieftain was Datu Taganiog
who died on January 28, 1948.

at “Malibasa” (known as Peñaplata,
the poblacion) where he exercised
his general supervision. The Word
“Malibasa” meant honorable. The
Isamals lived in perfect harmony as
peace-loving people.
