Sri Lumay and the Aginid

“Sri Lumay of Sumatra settled in Sugbo with his son, Sri Alho, ruling the south known as Sialo 
which included Valladolid, Carcar, up to Santander. His other son, Sri Ukob, ruled the north 
known as Nahalin which includes the present towns of Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela, Danao, 
Carmen, and Bantayan. As a ruler, Sri Lumay was known to be strict, merciless, and brave. 
He assigned magalamags to teach his people to read and write ancient letterings. 
He ordered routinary patrol by boats from Nahalin to Sialo by his mangubats (warriors). 
A strict ruler, Sri Lumay was a loving person that not a single slave ran away from him. 
During his reign, the Magalos (literally destroyers of peace) who came from the South
from time to time invaded the island to loot and hunt for slaves. Sri Lumay commanded to burn 
the town each time the southerners came to drive them away empty handed. Later,
they fought these Magalos so that they leave the town for good. The town was thus permanently 
called Kang Sri Lumayang Sugbo, or Sri Lumay’s scorched town. Trading was vibrantly carried on
by Sri Lumay’s people with merchants from China, Japan, India, and Burma in Parian, located at the northeastern part of the city. The archipelago was strategically positioned in southeast Asia 
that it naturally became part of the trade route of the ancient world. Agricultural products were 
bartered for Chinese silk cloths, bells, porcelain wares, iron tools, oil lamps, and medicinal herbs. 
From Japan, perfume and glass utensils were usually traded with native goods. Ivory products,
leather, precious and semi-precious stones, and sarkara (sugar) mostly came from the Burmese and 
Indian traders. Sri Lumay was killed in one of the battles against the magalos and was succeeded 
by his youngest son Sri Bantug who ruled Singhapala (Mabolo district today).
