I think my dad said the same thing about this picture when he saw it in Cato's book, that this was panglima Unga.

As far as panglima is concerned, I wonder if this also applies to Aceh in Indonesia, since the term I believe is also used there and the panglima is also chosen by the sultan there (pre-Aceh War).

dunno much about aceh history, jose, but i'm assuming it's related somehow. understand tho, that it's been a long time since Sulu had only five districts. this was during the reign of Sharif ul-Hāshim, the first Sultan of Sulu, around 1480...

IIRC, Saleeby mentions a Sumatran connection in his 'History' .
