The Sulu historical translation and as by the book, "MUSLIMS IN THE PHILIPPINES" authored by Dean Cesar Majul and as by the Salasilah of the Sulu Royal Family:
Sultan Ahmad or known also as Amir-Alatas Ahmad Uddin, ascended the throne in 1402, before that he was known as Pateh Berbai. He is the first Pengiran Bendahara in Brunei. Later he was given the title Pengiran Bendahara Seri Maharaja Permaisuara. He married the younger sister of Ong Sum Ping (also known as Pengiran Maharaja Lela). Sultan Ahmad died in 1425 and was succeeded by his son-in-law, Sultan Seri Ali or Sharif Ali, the great Sufi Berkat . While his son Sayyid Nakhoda Perkasa Angging (Maharaja Anddin) was sent to Sulu as Brunei Maharaja in the Sulu in 1704 given the Brunei Maharaja state Official flag and the twin-headed Alligator/Crocodile Flag as the twin authority of the the Brunei Sultan Brunei Sultanate in the Sulu Sultanate. Maharaja Anddin(Nakhoda Angging), his son was Maharaja Adinda Taup, the Maharaja of Jolo to Sultan Pulalun in 1859. Historical fact The facts of His Highness’, as understood, cause of the Sulu sultanate are as follows: 1. The Sultan of Brunei, owner of Borneo, gave it, although a portion thereof North Borneo (the Dutch colonial forces occupation in Southern Borneo which, if not, influenced the rebellion in the first place) as a gift to His Nakhodas (fleet admirals/cousins) Sayyid Nakhoda Perkasa Angging and Sayyid Nakhoda Sangkalang who led about 600 Sulu warriors sent by the Sulu Sultan in suppressing a 10 year rebellion by the self proclaimed Sultan Mobin in 1678. And as also a gesture of gratitude for the Sulu warriors as by the Nakhoda owners, Ceded by the Brunei sultan to the Sulu Sultan. This was in 1704 making Sulu contingious to Kalimantan territory of the Sulu Sultanate State by where it’s National Flag, “The Door to Mecca” or called “Gate to Mecca” already been flying there in Kalimantan or Southern Borneo since the advent of the Sultanate, although later occupied by Dutch colonial forces. 2. Also, in 1704, Sulu Sultan Sahab ‘Uddin was negotiating with the Spanish government in manila for ceding Palawan for Spanish Sovereignty use. Precautious of North Borneo possibly further ceded, the Brunei Sultan sent Sayyid Nakhoda Perkasa Angging (Maharaja Anddin) to the Sulus to guard against this possibility given the Brunei Maharaja state official flag and the twin headed crocodile/alligator twin authority flag as Maharaja in the Sulus. While Sayyid Nakhoda Sangkalang stayed in North Borneo guarding against possible encroachment to North Borneo from its Southern part occupied by Dutch colonial forces. 3. In 1705, Sulu Sultan Sahab’uddin did Ceded the Sulu Sultanate territory of Palawan to the Spanish government. Other sources say that Sultan Sahab’uddin ceded it to Maguindanao Sultan Qudarat being adjacent to the Maguinadanao sultanate, and Qudarat in turn ceded it to the Spanish government in manila to having the Spanish stay-at-bay at Palawan and not to encroach into Maguinadanao-Mindanao. 4. In 1862, in avoidance of war, Sulu Sultan Mohammad Fadlun or better known as Pulalun signed a treaty with Spain giving sovereignty right or “pretensions of sovereignty” to the latter over the Island of Jolo by which the said sultan then went to the hinterlands and reigned the rest of the sultanate territories from within. 2.
5. In 1878, two British subjects, Gustavos Baron De Overbeck (an Austrian) and Alfred Dent, Esq. as endorsed by Brunei sultan came to Jolo, Sulu to lease North Borneo from the Sulu Sultan. However, Jamalul Agdam (Azam) came forth presenting himself as the Sultan of Sulu, Sultan Jamalul Alam, the son of Sultan Pulalun; and such signing and delivering North Borneo to the two British subjects, who established the British North Borneo Company. Later Baron De Overbeck sold his rights to the lease contract to Alfred Dent. Subsequently, despite vigorous protests on the part of the Dutch and Spanish governments, the British government awarded the company (British North Borneo company) a royal charter in 1881. Moreover, Sultan Pulalun’s letter of revocation in 1878 was never heeded upon by the British North Borneo Company. 6. Although in a sense, North Borneo had been since 1888 a British protectorate, and although after liberation (from the Japanese) in 1946, a British military administration unit run the government, it was not until July 10, 1946 that the British North Borneo chartered company transferred all its rights and obligations under the lease to the British crown. When the British colonial office accepted the responsibility of running the small war-scarred country, the company was dissolved and the youngest British colony was born. 7. Shortly after British assertion of sovereignty over North Borneo, the government of the Republic of the Philippines (administering upon the Sulu Sultanate lands) acted on two fronts: Firstly, the cession order was denounced by Harrison the former American Governor-General of the Philippines that July 10, 1946 was six days after the Philippine Independence – July 04 1946, a rather opportunity filed as a “Unilateral act in violation of human rights”, Secondly, Three GRP congressmen, Diosdado Macapagal, Arsenio Lacson and Arturo Tolentino sponsored a resolution “urging the formal institution” of GRP claim to part of North Borneo. In September 1962, a unanimous resolution urging the Philippine President to recover the territory North Borneo, supposedly, consistent with international law and procedure. 8. A “Deed of cession” was reportedly entered into between the Kirams (claiming sovereignty over North Borneo) and Philippine President Doisdado Macapagal in 1962. Ismail Kiram transferring, his supposed sovereignty to the government of the Philippines thru an irrevocable Power-Of- Atty for Philippine claims over North Borneo. 9. Having thus acquired all the rights and interest of the “Sulu Sultan”, and acting on the unanimous congressional resolution, adverted to, “The Republic of the Philippines, through its president, filed a claim, “to the disputed North Borneo portions”. The claim remained unsolved. 10. The Philippine Republic retracted in admitting in a book published and authored by President Diosdado Macapagal entitled, "The Philippines Turns East" that Sultan Jamalul Kiram-II gave up his temporal powers to the American Administration in the 1915 Carpenter Memorandum, and hence, any progeny is entitled to the lease treaty payments of North Borneo-Sabah, as promulgated by the 1939 British High Court decision at Jesselton, as the "private heir/s". The judgement was delivered and sealed and sovereignty was not in issue...the Court having not the competence to rule on the issue of sovereignty as by International law. The Philippine Republic, however, recognizes the present Kirams as the truly private heirs of the late Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram-II, on account of their transferring rheir claim of supposed sovereignty thru an irrevocable power-of-atty to the Philippine Republic in 1962 and in 1969 for Philippine claims over North Borneo-Sabah to be under Philippine sovereignty. The Kirams, particularly, Faud Kiram whose father gave the said power-of-atty is appropriately the present recognized sultan of sulu by the Philippine Republic and was invited in January 2009 meeting with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo during the State visit of the Brunei Sultan-Hassanal Bolkiah, at Malacanang Palace.
