Sanmalan

The Polity of Sanmalan is a precolonial Philippine state centered on what is now Zamboanga.[1] Labeled in Chinese annals as "Sanmalan" 三麻蘭. The Chinese recorded a year 982 tribute from its Rajah or King, Chulan, who was represented at the imperial court by his emissary Ali Bakti.[2] When the Spanish arrived, they gave Protectorate status to the ancient polity of Sanmalan which was formerly under the sphere of the Sultanate of Sulu.[3] Under Spanish rule, the location of Sanmalan received Mexican and Peruvian military immigrants.[4] After a rebellion against Spanish rule, the state that replaced Spain and had subsisted on what was once Sanmalan's location, was the short-lived Republic of Zamboanga.
