1The wide island of Panay was originally inhabited by Negritos or locally called
Ati tribe. 2Their disappearance is due to an innocent agreement they made with the
sultan of Borneo back in 1250 to give up their land in exchange of a hat and gold
necklace. 3Early in the 13th century, Marikudo, a native chieftain, sold the coastal
shores and lowlands to 10 Bornean Datus who escapes from the repression of Sri
Vishayan Empire. 4One of them named Paiburong received the area Irong-Irong, which
is now called Iloilo City, meaning nose-like, as its wide river mouth in the narrow
Guimaras Strait appears like a snout. 5The island lived peacefully until the arrival of
Juan Miguel de Legazpi in 1566 that discovered and developed more towns.
