Phase 1

March 1565, vicinity of Bohol

S1(Bilar): General Legazpi, we have received a report that a trading vessel from Borneo has arrived and they’re currently
trading with the natives here.
Legazpi(Sorupia): Who gave them the permission to trade here? Go and arrest them!

Trading Port:
N1(Boquecosa): What do you have there?
M1(Bonsocan): I have jewels here originally made from Borneo.
N1(Boquecosa): How much does it cost?
M1(Bonsocan): I could trade this with anything you have there. What can you offer us?

(Soldiers arriving at the port )

S1(Bilar): Stop what you are doing! You are not permitted to trade here!
M2(Jagmoc): Wait, this isn’t the first time we traded here, why are you prohibiting us all of a sudden?
S2(Ellevira): The Governor General prohibits you to do so, and so we are arresting you.
M1(Bonsocan): But we are not doing anything wrong!
S1(Bilar): Just follow our commands if you don’t want to get hurt.
Narrator(Tabigue): And so, the Spaniards captured these Moros from Borneo and this incident became the start of
commercial rivalry between the Spaniards and the Moros.

1578, Legazpi and his soldiers having a meeting

S1(Bilar): Sir, we have received reports again that the Moros from Borneo are still trading with the natives here.
S2(Ellevira): They’ve been also reports that they are preaching Islam here and that they were able to influence some of
the natives here.
S1(Bilar): I’ve heard that the Sultan from Brunei is the brother-in-law of the Sulu’s Sultan, and that this Sultan from
Brunei is actually encouraging the preaching of Islam.
Legazpi(Sorupia): How dare them, go against my orders and preach Islam! With these Moros around us, it would be hard
for us to influence the natives here to accept our missionaries and sovereignty.
S3(Llanos): We should do something right away General Legazpi before they continue to influence the other natives.
Legazpi(Sorupia): We should really make a plan right away. I wouldn’t want the natives here to be confused about the
religion they’re going to follow.
S4(Mahistrado): How about we proclaim war against the Moros in Borneo?
S1(Bilar): There’s no need proclaiming war. Why don’t we just invade Borneo right away? In that way, they wouldn’t be
able to prepare themselves, and they would just surrender easily under our sovereignty.
Legazpi(Sorupia): I know someone in Brunei who is willing to accept Spanish sovereignty. All we just have to do is help
him get that throne away from the current Sultan.
S2(Ellevira): Okay, General Legazpi. We’ll gather the troops and prepare for some war.

Narrator(Tabigue): Legazpi and his soldiers proceeded with the plan and scuccessfully invaded Brunei, and due to this
Sultan Seifur-Rijal was forced to flee away from Borneo. However, the Sultan was able to recover his throne but it took
him 3 years to do so.
Phase 2

they didn't get any response to them.

Chieftain 1(Ramos): Anong gagawin natin ngayon? Wala tayong natanggap na sagot sa ating mga kasapi.
Magat Salamat(Malagar): Huwag tayong mawalan nang pag-asa baka hindi pa nila natanggap ang sulat.
Chieftain 2(Pangcoga): Paano kung dadating na dito ang mga Espanyol? Ano ang gagawin natin?
Magat Salamat(Malagar): Lalaban tayo kahit wala tayong kasapi. Hindi tayo magpapa-api sa kanila.

Scene 4.
Narrator(Tabigue): In 1591, Spaniards has a meeting on how to conquer the Moluccas and other island. Esteben
Rodriguez is the governor heneral of Mindanao that time.

Spaniard's Officer 1(Aranez): So what's the plan?

Spaniard's Officer 2(Escoarial): The plan is...first we have to attack Moluccas then next is the near island.
Spaniard's Officer 3(Adres): We have to report it to Governor Heneral of what we are planning to do.
(walking towards the office of Governor Heneral)
Spaniard's Officer 1,2,&3: Sir! (salute)
Governor Heneral-Esteban Rodriguez(Sorupia): Yes? (salute)
Spaniard's Officer 1(Aranez): We have plan on conquering the Moluccas first to take advantage on the next island.

island!

around Sampakan(Tampakan) which has midway between Maguindanao and Buayan settlements. But the Maguindanao
and Buayan settlements tried to dislodge the Spaniards

Scene 6. (Battle between the Spaniards and Muslims, lead by the Sultans)
(Arrival of 800 warriors from Ternate, under the leadership of an uncle of the Ternate Sultan, help the Muslims to defeat
the Spaniards)

Narrator: Eventually, lack of supplies and difficulty in communication led the Spaniards to abandon their forts. The
Ternatan aid came not just because of the ties between the leadind families of Mindanao and Moluccas and their
religion but also they realized that the loss of Mindanao would affect them because the Spaniards will use this as a base
to fight against them. For them, a strong Maguindanao and Buayan meant a strong defense line for Ternate. Thus the
Spanish invaders were defeated.

Raja ng Sulu(Malagar): Iyan rin ang pinangangambahan kong mangyari Raja Buisan.
Dutch people(Aranez): Huwag kayong mangamba dahil walang masasakop kung walang magpapasakop! Huwag natin
silang bigyan nang dahilan para tayo ay patuloy na sakupin. Ituloy parin ang laban hanggang sa tuluyan nating mapalayas
ang mga dayuhan.

Phase 6

Scene 1 (Meeting)
Narrator(Tabigue): Spanish policy in the middle of the 19th century was once more to conquer the Muslim sultanates,
especially that of Sulu. This time the Christianization was not an overriding motive. British and Dutch were extending in
the island of Southeast Asia.

Narrator(Sumilhig): British intrigues in Sulu to secure a base for the China trade.
(nagmeetingangmgabritish)

Narrator(Tabigue): While the Dutch were progressively extending their territories in Borneo the Spaniards had to secure
their southern frontier. Before the British gained a secure economic and political foothold in Sulu it was very important
for the Spaniards to be there first. (Spaniard with his comrades or General)

Spaniard 1(Aranez): Dapat maunahan natin sila!

Spaniard 2(Escorial): Sige! Ang gawin nating dahilan para maipagpatuloy ang pakikipagsapalaran was that the Samal
subject of the Sulu sultan as well as the Iranuns nanumumuhay dito ay mga professional pirates and acting in connivance
with him(meaning nakipagsabwatan).

Narrator(Tabigue): Sultan Pulalun at various times protested against this charge. In fact, the sultan and the chief datu
were traders and the economic prosperity of the realm depended on the safety of sea lanes, but, the Spaniards utilized
the existence of piracy as a reason to launch in 1845 the Balangingi expedition.

Scene 2: (Spaniards and the Sultan made a treaty)

Narrator(Sumilhig): The sixth phase of the war commenced. The Spanish expedition to Sulu in 1851 forced the Sultan to
a treaty.

[ SCENE - - - While nagnarrate, nay nag act as Spaniard and Sultan making a treaty or sanduguan something, pwede sad
naay followers/subjects as witnesses. Then after the meeting, they went separate ways and talking about the hidden
agenda]

Narrator(Sumilhig): Although the Spaniards interpreted the treaty as one where the Sultan accepted Spanish
sovereignty, the Sultan simply took it as a friendly treaty between sovereign equals.
Spaniard 1(Aranez): (along with other companion talking) Atlast! The Sultan is under our dominion. (evil laugh) How
foolish of them. Blablahbla.. (others nod and laugh)
Sultan(Malagar): (with his followers, explaining to them ) Wag niyo sanang isipin na isinuko ko ang ating territory sa mga
espanyol. Im not trying to abandon you guys. –lol—It was just a friendly treaty.

Scene 3
Narrator(Tabigue): Jolo had to be abandoned by the Sulu, with the sultan fleeing to the interior. It was during this time
that he leased his Sabah territory to the British company. A treaty among Britain, Germany and Spain finally provided
the Spanish sovereignty extended in Sulo.
(Sultan fleeing and leasing Sabah)
Narrator(Gumanoy): The Sultan was eventually forced to submit to the peace treaty in 1878.

Spaniard 1(Aranez): Hahayaan niyo kaming mamalagi sa Sulu, at hindi ninyo kami maaring saktan.

Sultan(Malagar): Pero hahayaan niyo rin kaming ipagpatuloy ang aming pagsasarili.
(shakes hand)

Narrator(Tabigue): The sultan tried to abide as much as possible with the treaty but he could not control his followers.

Subject(Ramos): Mahal na Datu. Ang sultan ay nakipagkasundo na sa mga Espanyol. Hahayaan po ba nating sakuhpin
nila ang ating teritoryo?
Datu(Sorupia): Hindi iyan maari, kung pumayag ang Sultan sa kagustuhan nila, pwes tayo, hindi! Lalaban tayo at
ipagtatanggol natin ang ating lupain.
(attack the Spaniards)

Narrator(Sumilhig): Juramentados became more frequent to the extent that Jolo became a town under siege.

Scene 4
Narrator(Sumilhig): Meanwhile, the Spaniards tried to consolidate their hold in Mindanao. A few expeditions were sent
to the Maranao areas and to Buayan.

Spaniard 1(Aranez): Kailangan nating palakasin ang ating pwersa at gagawa tayo nang paraan upang mas lalo pa nating
masakop ang Mindanao.Gagawa din tayo nang ilang paglalakbay sa mga Maranao na lugar at Buayan.

Narrator(Tabigue): Cotabato became a Spanish outpost and Spaniards were able to build a strong forts along the
Pulangi. The only real opposing force against them was Sultan Anwar ud-Din (Datu Utto).
Datu(Sorupia): Kailangan kong gumawa ng paraan upang mapigilan ang mga dayuhan! Ibubuwis ko ang aking buhay
kung kailangan, wag lang nila masakop ang ating lugar. Hinding hindi ako papayag, lalaban tayo..Lalaban tayo!

Narrator(Tabigue): By the arrival of the Americans in the Philippines in 1898, the Spanish force in tradition Muslim lands
were confined to a few well-guarded outpost that were often harassed. The Muslim still remained, in general
unconquered. This was the situation the Americans found in them.

Americans(Ellevira,Llanos,Boquecosa,Mahistrado,Jagmoc,Bonsocan,Emborong) Rarampa! HAHAHHA The END.
