Yes our Minangkabau Women are Brave Warriors. Noticing all the names like Pangasinan and such (Sundanese Java and Minangkabau Sumatra words). It's simply Sundaland empire Ancient Indonesia even Manila and Mindanao The Philippines were founded by my Forefathers Kings of Minangkabau Sumatra Indonesia
We have a gap on our Pre-Colonial Period which doesn't explain how the Early Filipino tribes learned farming? Travel by sled like bamboo carts? Then the Baybayin system of writing? So that part of lore for the Indo-Malaysian tribe or history after the Aetas, the first people whose history is in verses should conforme to the Legacy of Urduja the Warrior Princess. Our knowledge from old province nomads were limited as they do not sing each region's history as the modern tribal elders are recent from the 1970s and that sliver of history of Urduja was built on that history from old tales which has a connection that travelling to keep their kingdom safe as raiders and tribes were at war for territory as foreigners also visit for trade or conquests was present. It's good to see historical maps of the earlier centuries, CAN'T FIND THE "TRADITIONAL FISHING GROUNDS" OR 9 DASH LINE. Goes to show that Chinese History is full of fakes and holes.

The famous Filipino painter, Amorsolo, did a painting depicting Urduja at the shores of a beach (I assume it's Lingayen Gulf) as Chinese pirates are in the distance. The painting is physically a small size only but succeeding artists have copied the painting. A large copy of the painting can be seen in Pangasinan at the Governor's home in Lingayen. Coincidentally, the governor's home is called 'Urduja'.
@@DarkR0ze Unforturnately, I'm guessing it's not available to see by the public. I'm only familiar w the policy from the 1970s. The governor's family resides there so treat it like any home. The provincial Capitol building is beside it. I think the Capitol building (near the Governor's home) is open to the public and you can inquire with them if tours are available. It's a bit unusual to ask but hopefully they'll treat you with courtesy.
Although those Wokou pirates are ethnically Han Chinese, Korean and even Japanese, they were considered as traitors notoriously raiding ancient Asian empires including Ancient China, Ancient Korea.
as an ibaloi myself, i was shocked that it even had relation to Urduja (i didnt even know abt Urduja before the show and im in my 20s already 😢) and now it make sense why one of the extras was wearing a chaleco which is familiarly Benguet weaved. i think i can have a better grasp of my undergrad thesis with Lihim ni urduja being aired as a contemporary reimagining of the legend
Yea I’m just finding out rn at 23, I wish this was more popular when I was a kid I mean how cool is that, a Filipina warrior princess! I would’ve loved that as girl instead of another 40th barbie movie
The dialect spoken in Pangasinan is akin to that of the Ibaloi tribe. So its not impossible that these two great northern nations are related in the not so distant past.
Didn't Ibin Batuta say that there were elephants and rhinos in Urduja's area and that skeletons of these animals had recently been discovered in the Philippines?
i think Urduja actually existed during pre-colonial until the Spanish inquisition came, yet her existential records were removed due to the fact the Spaniards erased any female leadership, such as babaylans for example .
Pangasinan people also think "Tawalisi" might have been a corruption of "Tawal-asin" or place to trade salt. Closely related Ibaloi people in their oral records also talk of "Deboxah", an outstanding woman who most likely could be Urduja. It's really possible that Ibn Battuta anchored somewhere in Island Southeast Asia considering during the Yuan Dynasty, the Eastern Trade Route of the Maritime Silk Road passing along Island Southeast Asia was the preferred route by merchants. Mainland Southeast Asia like Vietnam and Burma was attacked by the Mongols in the 13th century which disrupted the "regular trade route". Champa was also suffering from Dai Viet attacks then, that's why a shift in the trade routes ensued. This is corroborated by voluminous finds of Chinese ceramics in the Philippines dating to the Yuan Dynasty.
@@RIZFERD they were once one people. Southern Austronesians. South East Asia was divided into nation states because of the European colonizers. Before the arrival of colonizers, there's no real land nor maritime borders. They all traded and lived side by side one to another.

Urduja might not have been her real name. Ibn Battuta might have forgotten her real name considering he only made a written account of his journey once he came back home, 20 years after his initial travels. He already used the name "Urduja" as one of the "khatuns" or empress-wives of Ozbeg Khan, emperor of the Golden Horde in Central Asia. Scholar Jean Paul Potet thinks Ibn Battuta's entry on Urduja in Southeast Asia was misplaced and should still have been an account for the Urduja Khatun of the Golden Horde. However, details such as flora and fauna indeed point out to a location in Southeast Asia.
Should have cross-reference with local records instead of guessing There are people in southeastasia, why these western historians call themselves historians if they just guess from their table about the other part of the world?
Kirby if you have enough time please make a series of videos like Reaction videos towards “Urduja GMA TV series” and information about the Pangasinese people including their own Ethnic Ancient and Medieval Histories as an intro because there is still A LOT more to uncover about Who the Native Filipino people really are before Colonization
Yes, Kirby. Pls do. I had a grandpa who hailed from Pangasinan. Thank you also for this vid as l really wonder if Urduja was real or a figment of imagination.
All I can say that climate change that eroded the land bridges have also erased some of the rich Filipino culture because the Spaniards also erased the odes and legends of Filipino heroes from the time of the Aetas to Pre-colonization period. It's like the last Disciple of Jesus Christ as these Philippine heroes of the ancient past were already battling for Filipino heritage and right to kingdom of culture. Lihim of Urduja has also uncovered parts of Filipino history from the Indo-Malay times where Filipino warships were numerous against the Chinese junk ships. Imagine that now it's reversed.
18:20 - In iBaloi oral traditions, she might might be called "Udayan" or "Deboxah" (pronounced as Debuca), but both of those persons were different since Deboxah is the granddaughter of Udayan. Deboxah is said to led the Alliances of various tribes of Pangasinan and the Mountains Ranges of Benguet and further Cordilleras. I learned that from Dr. Morr Tadeo Pungayan, a professor from the St. Louis University of Baguio City. He also noted that the Ibaloi can trace their roots since a great-grandchild bestows the name to their ancestor.
Talking about Urduja remind of a story in PARARATON (book of kings) chronicle that told the detailed story of how Empress Maharani tribhuwana of Majapahit laid the foundations of the 200 years of the RAJASA dynasty imperial era. Being 300 years on the throne, the first 100 years had been the most gruesome and difficult. Rajasa Dynasty was started by the almost mythical, evil, ambitious and pragmatic leader known by the name of Ken Angrok. His decendants were all members of the dynasty. In a sense. Rajasa Dynasty was another commoner family turned into a noble warlord faction ruling a province, then to be a royal of a backwater kingdom and suddenly in a mere 3 generations became the highest crown in the southern ocean. Their domain of origin was well-known as Tumapel Kingdom with its capital named as Singashari. They were just a regional power based in java for about 100 years , and ever since king kertanagara era, and after the kingdom had to relenquish its former name and capital after the king murdered, the dynasty hit rock bottom. never before their situation had been so low and utterly dire. Yet the moment they could'nt fall lower no kore, they risen as high as they can be. By the time the consolidation of power were made based on King Kertanegara legacies. Empress Tribuwana / Dyah Gitarja had made something that not even the Srivijaya or The Mataram had ever done. Organizing Three main branches of armed forces, and Instating a prime minister that doesn't even born from noble class citizen let alone having a royal blood. Something that almost unheard of. The Regular Imperial Army Led by the Empress herself Consisted of commoners and levies of the provincial kings, mainly foot soldiers. The Imperial Guard Bhayangkara Led by commoner born prime minister. The one the legend the man Gajah mada. Consisted of Heavy Gun Shooters, Heavy Cavalary, and Cetbang Artillary Men. The Navy and Amphibious Sailors Led by the great Admiral / lakshamana Mpu [Master] Nala Consisted of Commoners and Fishermen trained as Sea Faring Artillary men or a marine-like amphibious light off shore soldiers.

Sir Kirby, binasa ko ulit yung English version ni Sir H.A.R. Gibbs, and nabanggit ulit don yung Tawalisi after Ibn Battuta left China. Nabanggit din don yung isang typhoon na naencounter nila, another possible reference sa Pilipinas, 10 days after leaving Zaytun/Quanzhou port.
Kuya kirby, can you discuss pre-colonial mythologies in the Philippines, prominent figures in Spanish colonial era that were forgotten like the women of Malolos that beg church officials to give education to women any other painters, literatures and politicians that changed the history of the Philippines during Spanish colonial era and badass female warriors in Philippine WWII like the school teacher that assasinate Japanese soldiers at night please!
We have one already. Ang Title ay Urduja. Voiced by Regine Velasquez si Urduja. Parang disney ang animation style na movie Elizabeth 1 ( Cate Blanchet) ang plot in Pocahontas settings.
@@janinedbeergin1455 one of them being the armour of the invaders. If they were trying to illustrate chinese pirates or mercenaries, the scales should have been designed smaller and are fitted like a tunic. Over the scale armour is a lamelar armour layerof polished or oiled leather. And the celebrtory dance after the battle. Yes it may be given creative freedom but is it really the way that precolonial victory dances were done?
Tawalisi could be related to the word "Tawalis" (Fish) this could have been a place where they dry fish (salted dry fish) called "Tuyo" in modern time (Trade Exchange). Urduja I don't think is a name at all it's a designation like a demi god (Babaylan) animism or hindu like belief or AKA like Rajah Matanda or Lapu Lapu (same as fish). Ibn Battuta I don't think he visited Philippines, he try to invade around Pangasinan and met Urduja who was the Datu of the area (Military Chieftan) and lost/refused passage, hence the word "Warrior Princess" she would have been a non muslim. In modern times Philippines "Batuta" means a weapon, it's commonly used by the police, Batuta mean as well to atttack with a weapon "Batutain Mo" Tusok "Tusokin Mo".. All things I've metioned here might have of any use or not, it's for the historians, scientist to dig out, I'm not 😁😁 Just a comment Folks.. Have a Good Day to All.. Cheers.!!
Isn't Urduja is the Kelantanese warrior princess Adruja? In Kelantan one of the bravest princess that didnt marry till her death are Adruja Wijayamala Singha daughter of King Raja Sang Tawal in Kuala Krai, Kelantan. Even the name are so similar Urduja with Adruja, Kaylukari with Kuala Krai, and Tawalisi with Raja Sang Tawal probably indicating his land like Arab were called Arabi like Ibn Arabi, Yemen are Yemeni, Persia are Parsi like Al Farsi/Farisi etc.

You missed something Kirby... The Luyag ng Kaboloan founded in 1400s, a Chinses-Mongolian vassal settlement, was also in Pangasinan, it's capital was Binalatongan... so it is more possible that Tawalisi was in Pangasinan near where the Kaboloan was, thinking of the time's proximity of Ibn Batuta's travel to Tawalisi in mid-1300s to the foundation of Kaboloan in 1400s and on the collapsed of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in mid-1300s. If you study Ming Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty history remnants of Yuan Dynasty fled or was exiled to either North or South of China. Nanjing, Ming's capital before Yongle was very near to PH... Locationally, Tawalisi is more possible to be in Pangasinan than Java... And the Ibaloy people, even women were actually trained warriors... They were even the tribe that successfully guarded the South Cordilleras and isolated Spaniards from the Igorot settlements.
Rajasa Dynasty of Singashsri and Majapahit had. Horse archers ? They had them. Especially when they had conquered Sumba Island which has high quality horses used for wars for centuries and were exported several times to Java and China mainland. Their horses and their tribal horsemen skill are still famous to this day. Especially the people of Sabu island. Near sumba island where the place and facility used to train majapahit's marines and cavalary can stil lbe traced and is preserved. The place known as KELABBA MADJA. The people there are fierce warriors and proud to their legacies and ties with the imperial javanese court, and pretty much still loyal to them till this day. Chinese junks ? Perhaps not. But chinese junks derived its name and design from the more estabilished and advanced Javanese JONG that predates the Song dynasty. Chinese Chuan or ships are essencially not fit to navigate oceans and more used mainly as river crossing. One of the reason Yuan dynasty failed to conquer Japan an Java as chinese chuan built by han ethnic failed to wishtand strom and much slower than their islander counterparts. If ibn battuta arrived in 13th century and majapahit was on their rise. It can be thought that majapahit 3th fleet or armada was still active subjugating the western island of nusantara, like samudra pasai of aceh and tumasek/temasek of singapore, places where ibn battuta ships was known to pass. He might as well saw and mistook the similarity between javanese jong and chinese junk as it was the earliest time where two designs of ship is till pretty muchh the same and doesnt have many differences yet compared to their latter generation. Majapahit often employed chinese, uyghurs and mongol-decent troops during their wars as they had large population of them since mongol's failed invasion to java. Majapahit themselves learned cannon and rifle making-craft from them since that failed invasion. So many scholars pointed the poasibilities that urduja was one of malay or javan princess warrior tasked by the imperial court. Of perhaps urduja depicted by ibn battuta was the Majapahit empress herself. But it still just opinios and possibilities
Not to mention tawalisi mentioned by ibn battuta was a place that was seen as a rival to china. In terms of power militarily and economically. During 13 and 14 centuries. In SEA only majapahit territoties fit that place. Not even Yuan before and Ming latter dared to venture on the southern ocean when majapahit fleet reigned supreme. A detailed chronicles from ming even stated that when a vassal king of palembang the former srivijaya capital dared to ask freedom and protection from the ming through a chinese envoy who happened visiting at the time. The envoy was captured by majapahit's fleet and brought to javan court. The javan emperor sent back the envoy with the original letter from palembang, accompanied with a letter from himself telling his warning to the ming court of the possible blockade, sea raids and war were the ming supported palembang. 2 or 3 years latter. The envoy came back with an answer from the ming emperor revoking his support for palembang freedom. Siam did not even have the same leverage at the yet. Not until ayyuthaya era. And the zheng he fleet of ming only arrived in Nusantara when majapahit was on its last feet after years since the first Paregreg civil war. Their power had long diminished when Admiral Zheng entered SEA. Not until that moment when majapahit's navy struggling so much that The ming brave enough to send their own imperial navy and fleet to roam maritime SEA

Pangasinan was a Chinese Huangdom/Kingdom during those days under the Ming Dynasty and that probably explains the physical characteristics of the people, presence of horses and shipyards for Chinese Ships called Junks in Ibn Battuta's description of the land of Urduja, growing up constantly going to Pangasinan I always heard of stories of Urduja and her romance with the Chinese privateer/pirate lord Lim Ah Hong, always went to see their statues in Pangasinan along with the Governor's Palace constructed to have Chinese aesthetics/style.
No such thing as huangdom. It was not a Chinese kingdom. They just received Chinese influences due to their location and sent tributary missions to Ming China (like all other Asian kingdoms did, but that didn't mean they were "huangdoms"), but their culture still remained Austronesian or Indianized at that time. Limahong lived in the 1500s, Urduja in the 1300s. There's no way they could have met or even had romance. It was Kabontatala who ended up with Limahong, not Urduja.
@@IloveTS13haha Seems like TH-cam shadowbans comments with links on them. But Kabontatala is a local Pangasinan princess who became Limahong's consort. She and her people also helped him escape the pursuing Spanish colonist by digging a channel that's now named Limahong Channel. She bore him a son named "Quimson" and it was through this Quimson that 2 former Pangasinan governors descended from.
Sayang lang at hindi ito napreserve up to now! Sana hindi na lang tayo nasakop ng mga Europeans. Eh di sana may makikita tayong mga palace ni urduja with very unique chinese asian styles!
@@jehgelo We had something similar to a pagoda. Sa Mindanao ang mga masgit/moske noon multi-tiered parang pagoda, which hints of precolonial Mainland Asian influences. Kaya lang ang mga moske nila ngayon pinapattern na sa Arabic style, bulbous minarets na parang sibuyas.
That's because a lot of people assume Chinese, Japanese or Korean when they hear the word "Asian". South East Asians however, have dark orange(brown)-orange to light orange(tan)-red hues/skin tones. Compard to the East Asians yellow to pale hues/skin tones or South Asians Black-dark orange-orange to pale hues/skin tones. Nowadays because of skin products as well as, foreigners like Europeans, Whites and East Asians coming to South East Asia, a lot of SEAs are showing more lighter tones.
It depends on the Filipino themselves. If you grew up in certain regions that was mentioned in the video they most likely knew already or if you had education relating to the topic at hand. My mother always told me about legends and folktales and Urduja was one of them. Mind you she was from Maynila, born to a Batangueno father and Kapampangan mother.
It's a kingdom that rivals China. So, it should be almost equal in territory. Most likely, it is a territory that includes Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is important to note that Ibn Battuta described them as idolaters which means they aren't Muslims or Buddhists, at least not yet. That should narrow it down to the Philippines, Borneo and the surrounding islands. Urduja is most likely based in the Philippines, and his father would be somewhere in Borneo. Tawi-Tawi could be a namesake. Female leaders and warriors are common in the Philippines' pre-colonial era.

It was Dayang Kalangitan, the last Queen Regeant of Tundun or known as Reina Regente by the spanish, from Bitukang manok inner part of Pasig river located at Maybunga, Pasig. She lead the warriors from Tundun to run after the chinese pirates from lawang lalake now Manila bay to Pang-asinan North. She was the Daugther of then Namayan king Lakan Gambang.

Can i ask something? If urduja is a filipino, how did they say that the kingdom of tawalisi is from indonesia if she is a filipino with her fellow warriors?
Wana know the real descendants of Urduja, The people of Bolinao Pangasinan, they speak different from pangasinan speaking or ilocano in pangasinan. Recent finds of elephants on Bolinao, believed to be Urduja's entourage.
There was an old saying,"when the legend becomes fact,print the legend".We all know that just by reading and knowing Philippine history even from the time of Lapu-Lapu,who was called a Fiipino patrot when in truth he was a hired Indonesian Unglaut and the only born Filipino in that story was the King of Kings Rajah Humabon.
Ano mi maliit na pangkat na 13th century sa atin noon? Anong kingdom tayo nabibilang parang decendants ata ng mga malay, thai, cambodian halos magkakawig..

Galing longlive sir! Educational.
True. Ibn Battuta might have forgotten some things, but the details pointing out to Southeast Asia cannot be dismissed just like that. And why do they have to single out Ibn Battuta's entry on Tawalisi anyway? In his intial travels in Southeast Asia he already mentioned men with MOUTHS OF DOGS somewhere in the Andaman Islands or Myanmar. That's a more even absurd account than a warrior princess, which we all know is not impossible, considering Southeast Asians have high regards to women.
Also, Ibn Battuta mentioned Tawalisi again on his return home journey. When they left Quanzhou, past 10 days sailing they were already near Tawalisi. Then they encountered a typhoon. North Luzon certainly fits his description.
"Tawalisi owns Junks & is a rival of China" who else in history owns junks & rivals China??? I think this is a point worth looking into don't you think???
Urduja...the lengua franca of Pakistan is Urdu. Probably Urduja's name is mostly likely of Hindu-Buddhist influence. There was a time that pre-colonial Philippines was influenced and once part of the Srivijaya Empire (if you'll see the map of Srivijaya Empire, Pangasinan was there) thats why the Laguna Copper Plate was written in Sanskrit because some parts pre-colonial Philippines was influence by the by the said South East Asian empire. But the 1300's was also the time of the Majapahit Empire (1293 to 1527) and there was a warrior princess in Kembang (location: it is an Island in Tinggiran II, Tamban, Barito Kuala Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia) named Puteri Adruja Wijayamala Singa, better known as Cik Siti Wan Kembang was called ‘dewi perang’ or goddess of war due to her bravery and greatness in war. Puteri ADRUJA WIJAYAMALA SINGA was the daughter of RAJA SANG TAWAL (1267-1335), was the first Malay woman to join her fellow warriors in the battlefield and succeeded the fight in defending her state "Tanah Serendah Sekebun Bunga Cerang Tegayong". So maybe Urduja is the same as Adruja and Raja Tawal is Tawalisi?? In Arabic, Filipino is Filipini, there's a possibility that Tawal was called by Ibn Battutta as TAWALISI. Now I have second thoughts. A question comes into my mind, from where did we got the story of Urduja, was there an oral tradition story of Urduja from the pre-colonial Pangasinense or the only reference was from Ibn Battutta's travel chronicle? Btw, a big mall here in Dubai was named in honor of Ibn Battutta.

Because Spaniards erased our ancient history by destroying and burning our artifacts, that's why it's hard to trace where was Tawalisi... And we do not know if Urduja was really existed or not...

Shes from grahi kingdom, around modern southern thailand and kelantan(malaysia)..her name is Adruja daughter of raja sang tawal(tawalis)i..arab will put extra word for the place like al arabi(arab) al falembani(palembang) al bahgdadi(banghdad)....she fought sukothai kingdom ,thats why they have war elephant..and merchants and people from turk were trading there..they might interracial marriage with locals..kaylukari might be kuala krai in kelantan
In the traditional history of Kelantan🇲🇾, Arduja Wijayamala Singha or also known as Cik Siti Wan Kembang is the daughter of King Sang Tawal (King of Ancient Kelantan)"Tawalisi" comes from the name of the king Sang Tawal. Arduja is also a female ruler in the kingdom of Kelantan.
Still does not match Ibn Battuta's journey. From Mul-Java (Majapahit, Java or even Melayu-Jambi) he sailed for 34 DAYS before arriving at Bahr-ul-Kahil (South China Sea, west of Borneo). Then they rowed for another 37 days before arriving at Tawalisi (Tawal- asin/ Pangasinan). In total, it took Ibn Battuta 71 days to get to Tawalisi. Clearly, a place further than Malay Peninsula.
Then why would they continue this if this is just a legend nowadays. Dalawang ulit pa nilang pinalabas yan. I know this is just for entertainment but look, GMA i guess is teaching something already that is not factual. More research ang kailangan dito. Ni hindi nga kilala ng mga pilipino kung saan talaga tayo nagmula. GMA must stop if they can't give integrity in this tale if it is truly a history, if they don't know enough.

Ibn battuta visited kaylakuri, the capital of urduja. Kaylakuri is Grahi, modern day Chaiya in Thailand Her name is Dewi Durga or Urduja Wijayamalasingha Ibn Battuta even mention she had a turkish teacher which confirm with the local story and her victorious fight against Sukothai
Impossible. The country of Tawalisi was mentioned by Ibn Battuta twice. On his way to China he said it was only 17-DAYS journey. Then when he was returning home from China, past 10 DAYS they were already near Tawalisi. The only countries near China to fit that sailing days are The Philippines and Vietnam. The most likely candidate is the Philippines because he was using the EASTERN ROUTE. Otherwise, he would have chosen Canton/Guangzhou (near Hongkong) to reach Vietnam. South of Quanzhou is thr Philippines, not Vietnam, not Thailand, and certainly not Peninsular Malaysia.

@@nagamalaya4232 That is just a fictionalized tale of the real Urduja. Malaysian historians themselves do not accept Adruja as a real historical person. That story only came from the book 101 Puteri Dunia Melayu. In contrast with the Philippine claim and the local record of Ibaloi people which tells of Debuca who lived in the 1300s, the real Urduja. Ibn Battuta arrived to Tawalisi in roughly 2 months from Sumatra/Java [Mul-Java]. It will not take you 2 months by boat just to arrive in Malaysia from Sumatra/Java. Tawalisi is a place far from Malaysia, but near China.
Tawalisi is not from here. This "Urduja" thing is fiction. We don't have horses here back in the 1200's. If we have horses since we then, why don't we have a number of abundant of horses today? The native reddish hue? Really, look at your skin. We don't look like Turks either!

We have a gap on our Pre-Colonial Period which doesn't explain how the Early Filipino tribes learned farming? Travel by sled like bamboo carts? Then the Baybayin system of writing? So that part of lore for the Indo-Malaysian tribe or history after the Aetas, the first people whose history is in verses should conforme to the Legacy of Urduja the Warrior Princess.
Our knowledge from old province nomads were limited as they do not sing each region's history as the modern tribal elders are recent from the 1970s and that sliver of history of Urduja was built on that history from old tales which has a connection that travelling to keep their kingdom safe as raiders and tribes were at war for territory as foreigners also visit for trade or conquests was present.

@@RIZFERD sick indo-centric obsession
The famous Filipino painter, Amorsolo, did a painting depicting Urduja at the shores of a beach (I assume it's Lingayen Gulf) as Chinese pirates are in the distance. The painting is physically a small size only but succeeding artists have copied the painting. A large copy of the painting can be seen in Pangasinan at the Governor's home in Lingayen. Coincidentally, the governor's home is called 'Urduja'.
is it ok for the public to visit it? Is it free?
@@DarkR0ze Unforturnately, I'm guessing it's not available to see by the public. I'm only familiar w the policy from the 1970s. The governor's family resides there so treat it like any home. The provincial Capitol building is beside it. I think the Capitol building (near the Governor's home) is open to the public and you can inquire with them if tours are available.
It's a bit unusual to ask but hopefully they'll treat you with courtesy.

Although those Wokou pirates are ethnically Han Chinese, Korean and even Japanese, they were considered as traitors notoriously raiding ancient Asian empires including Ancient China, Ancient Korea.
as an ibaloi myself, i was shocked that it even had relation to Urduja (i didnt even know abt Urduja before the show and im in my 20s already 😢) and now it make sense why one of the extras was wearing a chaleco which is familiarly Benguet weaved. i think i can have a better grasp of my undergrad thesis with Lihim ni urduja being aired as a contemporary reimagining of the legend
Yea I’m just finding out rn at 23, I wish this was more popular when I was a kid I mean how cool is that, a Filipina warrior princess! I would’ve loved that as girl instead of another 40th barbie movie
The dialect spoken in Pangasinan is akin to that of the Ibaloi tribe. So its not impossible that these two great northern nations are related in the not so distant past.
Didn't Ibin Batuta say that there were elephants and rhinos in Urduja's area and that skeletons of these animals had recently been discovered in the Philippines?
sa may Cagayan valley yata may recently naunearth na rhino skeletons / fossils. Elephants naman were in Sulu yata? Probably introduced
@kolin stewart It is not unusual to trade animals in ancient times.
Sa Cagayan Valley po, may skeletons ng elephant na nahukay. Meron din nyan sa Pangasinan, hindi pa lang siguro nahuhukay.
@@GaryHField
Bska hindi pa natahpuan ang elepanty ni Urduja.
Imported by China possibly or came from Indonesia
i think Urduja actually existed during pre-colonial until the Spanish inquisition came, yet her existential records were removed due to the fact the Spaniards erased any female leadership, such as babaylans for example .
any source that the spanish erased those history
Pangasinan people also think "Tawalisi" might have been a corruption of "Tawal-asin" or place to trade salt. Closely related Ibaloi people in their oral records also talk of "Deboxah", an outstanding woman who most likely could be Urduja.
It's really possible that Ibn Battuta anchored somewhere in Island Southeast Asia considering during the Yuan Dynasty, the Eastern Trade Route of the Maritime Silk Road passing along Island Southeast Asia was the preferred route by merchants.
Mainland Southeast Asia like Vietnam and Burma was attacked by the Mongols in the 13th century which disrupted the "regular trade route". Champa was also suffering from Dai Viet attacks then, that's why a shift in the trade routes ensued.
This is corroborated by voluminous finds of Chinese ceramics in the Philippines dating to the Yuan Dynasty.

Urduja might not have been her real name. Ibn Battuta might have forgotten her real name considering he only made a written account of his journey once he came back home, 20 years after his initial travels.
He already used the name "Urduja" as one of the "khatuns" or empress-wives of Ozbeg Khan, emperor of the Golden Horde in Central Asia. Scholar Jean Paul Potet thinks Ibn Battuta's entry on Urduja in Southeast Asia was misplaced and should still have been an account for the Urduja Khatun of the Golden Horde.
However, details such as flora and fauna indeed point out to a location in Southeast Asia.
Should have cross-reference with local records instead of guessing
There are people in southeastasia, why these western historians call themselves historians if they just guess from their table about the other part of the world?
i doubt urduja was from the philippines @@asmrnaturecat984

Kirby if you have enough time please make a series of videos like Reaction videos towards “Urduja GMA TV series” and information about the Pangasinese people including their own Ethnic Ancient and Medieval Histories as an intro because there is still A LOT more to uncover about Who the Native Filipino people really are before Colonization
Yes, Kirby. Pls do. I had a grandpa who hailed from Pangasinan. Thank you also for this vid as l really wonder if Urduja was real or a figment of imagination.
All I can say that climate change that eroded the land bridges have also erased some of the rich Filipino culture because the Spaniards also erased the odes and legends of Filipino heroes from the time of the Aetas to Pre-colonization period. It's like the last Disciple of Jesus Christ as these Philippine heroes of the ancient past were already battling for Filipino heritage and right to kingdom of culture.
Lihim of Urduja has also uncovered parts of Filipino history from the Indo-Malay times where Filipino warships were numerous against the Chinese junk ships.
Imagine that now it's reversed.
Thank you Kirby❤ , Im part of the creative team ng Urduja, Medyo nahirapan din kami magsearch 😂.

18:20 - In iBaloi oral traditions, she might might be called "Udayan" or "Deboxah" (pronounced as Debuca), but both of those persons were different since Deboxah is the granddaughter of Udayan. Deboxah is said to led the Alliances of various tribes of Pangasinan and the Mountains Ranges of Benguet and further Cordilleras. I learned that from Dr. Morr Tadeo Pungayan, a professor from the St. Louis University of Baguio City. He also noted that the Ibaloi can trace their roots since a great-grandchild bestows the name to their ancestor.
Exactly. But, is Udayan a woman or a man?
I also heard of another folktale that one of Urduja's 7 Kinalakian warriors was called Uday-an.

Talking about Urduja remind of a story in PARARATON (book of kings) chronicle that told the detailed story of how Empress Maharani tribhuwana of Majapahit laid the foundations of the 200 years of the RAJASA dynasty imperial era.
Being 300 years on the throne, the first 100 years had been the most gruesome and difficult.
Rajasa Dynasty was started by the almost mythical, evil, ambitious and pragmatic leader known by the name of Ken Angrok. His decendants were all members of the dynasty.
In a sense. Rajasa Dynasty was another commoner family turned into a noble warlord faction ruling a province, then to be a royal of a backwater kingdom and suddenly in a mere 3 generations became the highest crown in the southern ocean.
Their domain of origin was well-known as Tumapel Kingdom with its capital named as Singashari. They were just a regional power based in java for about 100 years , and ever since king kertanagara era, and after the kingdom had to relenquish its former name and capital after the king murdered, the dynasty hit rock bottom. never before their situation had been so low and utterly dire. Yet the moment they could'nt fall lower no kore, they risen as high as they can be.
By the time the consolidation of power were made based on King Kertanegara legacies. Empress Tribuwana / Dyah Gitarja had made something that not even the Srivijaya or The Mataram had ever done.
Organizing Three main branches of armed forces, and Instating a prime minister that doesn't even born from noble class citizen let alone having a royal blood. Something that almost unheard of.
The Regular Imperial Army
Led by the Empress herself
Consisted of commoners and levies of the provincial kings, mainly foot soldiers.
The Imperial Guard Bhayangkara
Led by commoner born prime minister. The one the legend the man Gajah mada. Consisted of Heavy Gun Shooters, Heavy Cavalary, and Cetbang Artillary Men.
The Navy and Amphibious Sailors
Led by the great Admiral / lakshamana Mpu [Master] Nala
Consisted of Commoners and Fishermen trained as Sea Faring Artillary men or a marine-like amphibious light off shore soldiers.

Tawalisi could be related to the word "Tawalis" (Fish) this could have been a place where they dry fish (salted dry fish) called "Tuyo" in modern time (Trade Exchange). Urduja I don't think is a name at all it's a designation like a demi god (Babaylan) animism or hindu like belief or AKA like Rajah Matanda or Lapu Lapu (same as fish). Ibn Battuta I don't think he visited Philippines, he try to invade around Pangasinan and met Urduja who was the Datu of the area (Military Chieftan) and lost/refused passage, hence the word "Warrior Princess" she would have been a non muslim. In modern times Philippines "Batuta" means a weapon, it's commonly used by the police, Batuta mean as well to atttack with a weapon "Batutain Mo" Tusok "Tusokin Mo".. All things I've metioned here might have of any use or not, it's for the historians, scientist to dig out, I'm not 😁😁 Just a comment Folks.. Have a Good Day to All.. Cheers.!!

pwede rin.
You missed something Kirby... The Luyag ng Kaboloan founded in 1400s, a Chinses-Mongolian vassal settlement, was also in Pangasinan, it's capital was Binalatongan... so it is more possible that Tawalisi was in Pangasinan near where the Kaboloan was, thinking of the time's proximity of Ibn Batuta's travel to Tawalisi in mid-1300s to the foundation of Kaboloan in 1400s and on the collapsed of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in mid-1300s. If you study Ming Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty history remnants of Yuan Dynasty fled or was exiled to either North or South of China. Nanjing, Ming's capital before Yongle was very near to PH... Locationally, Tawalisi is more possible to be in Pangasinan than Java... And the Ibaloy people, even women were actually trained warriors... They were even the tribe that successfully guarded the South Cordilleras and isolated Spaniards from the Igorot settlements.
Since Battuta mentioned horse archers and chinese junks, which SEA nation had those in the 13th century?
Rajasa Dynasty of Singashsri and Majapahit had.
Horse archers ? They had them. Especially when they had conquered Sumba Island which has high quality horses used for wars for centuries and were exported several times to Java and China mainland. Their horses and their tribal horsemen skill are still famous to this day.
Especially the people of Sabu island. Near sumba island where the place and facility used to train majapahit's marines and cavalary can stil lbe traced and is preserved. The place known as KELABBA MADJA. The people there are fierce warriors and proud to their legacies and ties with the imperial javanese court, and pretty much still loyal to them till this day.
Chinese junks ? Perhaps not.
But chinese junks derived its name and design from the more estabilished and advanced Javanese JONG that predates the Song dynasty. Chinese Chuan or ships are essencially not fit to navigate oceans and more used mainly as river crossing. One of the reason Yuan dynasty failed to conquer Japan an Java as chinese chuan built by han ethnic failed to wishtand strom and much slower than their islander counterparts.
If ibn battuta arrived in 13th century and majapahit was on their rise. It can be thought that majapahit 3th fleet or armada was still active subjugating the western island of nusantara, like samudra pasai of aceh and tumasek/temasek of singapore, places where ibn battuta ships was known to pass. He might as well saw and mistook the similarity between javanese jong and chinese junk as it was the earliest time where two designs of ship is till pretty muchh the same and doesnt have many differences yet compared to their latter generation.
Majapahit often employed chinese, uyghurs and mongol-decent troops during their wars as they had large population of them since mongol's failed invasion to java. Majapahit themselves learned cannon and rifle making-craft from them since that failed invasion. So many scholars pointed the poasibilities that urduja was one of malay or javan princess warrior tasked by the imperial court. Of perhaps urduja depicted by ibn battuta was the Majapahit empress herself.
But it still just opinios and possibilities
Not to mention tawalisi mentioned by ibn battuta was a place that was seen as a rival to china. In terms of power militarily and economically. During 13 and 14 centuries. In SEA only majapahit territoties fit that place.
Not even Yuan before and Ming latter dared to venture on the southern ocean when majapahit fleet reigned supreme. A detailed chronicles from ming even stated that when a vassal king of palembang the former srivijaya capital dared to ask freedom and protection from the ming through a chinese envoy who happened visiting at the time. The envoy was captured by majapahit's fleet and brought to javan court. The javan emperor sent back the envoy with the original letter from palembang, accompanied with a letter from himself telling his warning to the ming court of the possible blockade, sea raids and war were the ming supported palembang. 2 or 3 years latter. The envoy came back with an answer from the ming emperor revoking his support for palembang freedom. Siam did not even have the same leverage at the yet. Not until ayyuthaya era. And the zheng he fleet of ming only arrived in Nusantara when majapahit was on its last feet after years since the first Paregreg civil war. Their power had long diminished when Admiral Zheng entered SEA. Not until that moment when majapahit's navy struggling so much that The ming brave enough to send their own imperial navy and fleet to roam maritime SEA

Thank you for this video! Now I exactly knew about Urduja! I really appreciate your tryness🎉💕
Pangasinan was a Chinese Huangdom/Kingdom during those days under the Ming Dynasty and that probably explains the physical characteristics of the people, presence of horses and shipyards for Chinese Ships called Junks in Ibn Battuta's description of the land of Urduja, growing up constantly going to Pangasinan I always heard of stories of Urduja and her romance with the Chinese privateer/pirate lord Lim Ah Hong, always went to see their statues in Pangasinan along with the Governor's Palace constructed to have Chinese aesthetics/style.
No such thing as huangdom. It was not a Chinese kingdom. They just received Chinese influences due to their location and sent tributary missions to Ming China (like all other Asian kingdoms did, but that didn't mean they were "huangdoms"), but their culture still remained Austronesian or Indianized at that time.
Limahong lived in the 1500s, Urduja in the 1300s. There's no way they could have met or even had romance. It was Kabontatala who ended up with Limahong, not Urduja.
@@markjosephbacho5652 who is kabontatala?
@@IloveTS13haha Seems like TH-cam shadowbans comments with links on them.
But Kabontatala is a local Pangasinan princess who became Limahong's consort. She and her people also helped him escape the pursuing Spanish colonist by digging a channel that's now named Limahong Channel. She bore him a son named "Quimson" and it was through this Quimson that 2 former Pangasinan governors descended from.
Sayang lang at hindi ito napreserve up to now! Sana hindi na lang tayo nasakop ng mga Europeans. Eh di sana may makikita tayong mga palace ni urduja with very unique chinese asian styles!
@@jehgelo We had something similar to a pagoda. Sa Mindanao ang mga masgit/moske noon multi-tiered parang pagoda, which hints of precolonial Mainland Asian influences. Kaya lang ang mga moske nila ngayon pinapattern na sa Arabic style, bulbous minarets na parang sibuyas.

Let's go back in time and join the voyage of Ibn Battuta.
Thank you for this video, I really thought Urduja was a folk tale.
"Look like turks with reddish skin." I'm having a hard time imagining that he's talking about an asian person.
That's because a lot of people assume Chinese, Japanese or Korean when they hear the word "Asian". South East Asians however, have dark orange(brown)-orange to light orange(tan)-red hues/skin tones. Compard to the East Asians yellow to pale hues/skin tones or South Asians Black-dark orange-orange to pale hues/skin tones. Nowadays because of skin products as well as, foreigners like Europeans, Whites and East Asians coming to South East Asia, a lot of SEAs are showing more lighter tones.
As Filipinos how long have we known about this lore? This is the first time i've heard of it. Its interesting
It depends on the Filipino themselves. If you grew up in certain regions that was mentioned in the video they most likely knew already or if you had education relating to the topic at hand. My mother always told me about legends and folktales and Urduja was one of them. Mind you she was from Maynila, born to a Batangueno father and Kapampangan mother.
the Urduja Palace or House I guess was name after her -- it is the official residence of the governor of Pangasinan.
What about Tarhata?
Ibaloi are ancestor of pangasinense, n were proud to be pangasinense not pangalatok as how they mocked us by the jealous ethnics
graham hancock says that all cultures have flood myths... do we have one?
Yes we do
Thanks for the info 😁
It's a kingdom that rivals China. So, it should be almost equal in territory. Most likely, it is a territory that includes Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is important to note that Ibn Battuta described them as idolaters which means they aren't Muslims or Buddhists, at least not yet. That should narrow it down to the Philippines, Borneo and the surrounding islands. Urduja is most likely based in the Philippines, and his father would be somewhere in Borneo. Tawi-Tawi could be a namesake. Female leaders and warriors are common in the Philippines' pre-colonial era.

I missed watching your videos, Kuya Kirby! ❤️
Urduja will always be a legendary princess of Pangasinan (Caboloan)
Do you have Filipino version of your books?
It was Dayang Kalangitan, the last Queen Regeant of Tundun or known as Reina Regente by the spanish, from Bitukang manok inner part of Pasig river located at Maybunga, Pasig.
She lead the warriors from Tundun to run after the chinese pirates from lawang lalake now Manila bay to Pang-asinan North.
She was the Daugther of then Namayan king Lakan Gambang.
Isn't Urduja is the Kelantanese warrior princess Adruja? In Kelantan one of the bravest princess that didnt marry till her death are Adruja Wijayamala Singha daughter of King Raja Sang Tawal in Kuala Krai, Kelantan. Even the name are so similar Urduja with Adruja, Kaylukari with Kuala Krai, and Tawalisi with Raja Sang Tawal probably indicating his land like Arab were called Arabi like Ibn Arabi, Yemen are Yemeni, Persia are Parsi like Al Farsi/Farisi etc.
I think hindi ito sa pilipinas kasi sa description palang wala na e..
Can i ask something? If urduja is a filipino, how did they say that the kingdom of tawalisi is from indonesia if she is a filipino with her fellow warriors?
Where you get ask this history
BRAVO KIRBY
Wana know the real descendants of Urduja, The people of Bolinao Pangasinan, they speak different from pangasinan speaking or ilocano in pangasinan. Recent finds of elephants on Bolinao, believed to be Urduja's entourage.
urduja did not married..so no descendants
Hey Kirby, I thought I heard Ibn Battuta before. Turns out The History Guy uploaded a video a few days ago.
Now I have to watch that next.

And of China's first Empress Regnant Wu Zetian.
There was an old saying,"when the legend becomes fact,print the legend".We all know that just by reading and knowing Philippine history even from the time of Lapu-Lapu,who was called a Fiipino patrot when in truth he was a hired Indonesian Unglaut and the only born Filipino in that story was the King of Kings Rajah Humabon.
urduja @ arduja wijayamala singa princess of of raja sang tawal.. this is stated in history of kelantan
Ano mi maliit na pangkat na 13th century sa atin noon? Anong kingdom tayo nabibilang parang decendants ata ng mga malay, thai, cambodian halos magkakawig.. Malapit na ako maniwala na si Lapu-lapu ay di filipino kundi dayuhan from kapitbahay nating asian.. Bakit di pinalaganap sa school.. All i know sa Tabon, Palawan mi mas sinunang tao pa.. Galing longlive sir! Educational.
Ibn Battuta is not a liar...Henry William Scott is a Anti Pangasinan culture....Urduja is not a Myth Ibn Battuta met her...
True. Ibn Battuta might have forgotten some things, but the details pointing out to Southeast Asia cannot be dismissed just like that. And why do they have to single out Ibn Battuta's entry on Tawalisi anyway?
In his intial travels in Southeast Asia he already mentioned men with MOUTHS OF DOGS somewhere in the Andaman Islands or Myanmar.
That's a more even absurd account than a warrior princess, which we all know is not impossible, considering Southeast Asians have high regards to women.
Also, Ibn Battuta mentioned Tawalisi again on his return home journey. When they left Quanzhou, past 10 days sailing they were already near Tawalisi. Then they encountered a typhoon. North Luzon certainly fits his description.
"Tawalisi owns Junks & is a rival of China" who else in history owns junks & rivals China??? I think this is a point worth looking into don't you think???
Maybe the reason they say its fiction because they can't accept a woman as a leader before 😅
Urduja...the lengua franca of Pakistan is Urdu. Probably Urduja's name is mostly likely of Hindu-Buddhist influence. There was a time that pre-colonial Philippines was influenced and once part of the Srivijaya Empire (if you'll see the map of Srivijaya Empire, Pangasinan was there) thats why the Laguna Copper Plate was written in Sanskrit because some parts pre-colonial Philippines was influence by the by the said South East Asian empire. But the 1300's was also the time of the Majapahit Empire (1293 to 1527) and there was a warrior princess in Kembang (location: it is an Island in Tinggiran II, Tamban, Barito Kuala Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia) named Puteri Adruja Wijayamala Singa, better known as Cik Siti Wan Kembang was called ‘dewi perang’ or goddess of war due to her bravery and greatness in war. Puteri ADRUJA WIJAYAMALA SINGA was the daughter of RAJA SANG TAWAL (1267-1335), was the first Malay woman to join her fellow warriors in the battlefield and succeeded the fight in defending her state "Tanah Serendah Sekebun Bunga Cerang Tegayong". So maybe Urduja is the same as Adruja and Raja Tawal is Tawalisi?? In Arabic, Filipino is Filipini, there's a possibility that Tawal was called by Ibn Battutta as TAWALISI. Now I have second thoughts. A question comes into my mind, from where did we got the story of Urduja, was there an oral tradition story of Urduja from the pre-colonial Pangasinense or the only reference was from Ibn Battutta's travel chronicle? Btw, a big mall here in Dubai was named in honor of Ibn Battutta.

Because Spaniards erased our ancient history by destroying and burning our artifacts, that's why it's hard to trace where was Tawalisi... And we do not know if Urduja was really existed or not...
very true Sir, most of our histories are erased by the Spaniards and was rewritten on their own liking.

Shes from grahi kingdom, around modern southern thailand and kelantan(malaysia)..her name is Adruja daughter of raja sang tawal(tawalis)i..arab will put extra word for the place like al arabi(arab) al falembani(palembang) al bahgdadi(banghdad)....she fought sukothai kingdom ,thats why they have war elephant..and merchants and people from turk were trading there..they might interracial marriage with locals..kaylukari might be kuala krai in kelantan
Horses ???? 🤔🤔🤔
In the traditional history of Kelantan🇲🇾, Arduja Wijayamala Singha or also known as Cik Siti Wan Kembang is the daughter of King Sang Tawal (King of Ancient Kelantan)"Tawalisi" comes from the name of the king Sang Tawal. Arduja is also a female ruler in the kingdom of Kelantan.
Sang arduja wijaya mala and urduja is the same person.. she is dougther of king of kedah (modern malaysia).. indeed we are one in the old time
Peninsular Malaysia is too far from China to be crossed in 17 days. Ibn Battuta said it took him 17 days to reach China from Tawalasin (Pangasinan).
@@markjosephbacho5652 if you use west coast route from peninsular maybe its to far... if using east coast route it is 17day
Still does not match Ibn Battuta's journey.
From Mul-Java (Majapahit, Java or even Melayu-Jambi) he sailed for 34 DAYS before arriving at Bahr-ul-Kahil (South China Sea, west of Borneo). Then they rowed for another 37 days before arriving at Tawalisi (Tawal- asin/ Pangasinan).
In total, it took Ibn Battuta 71 days to get to Tawalisi. Clearly, a place further than Malay Peninsula.
Then why would they continue this if this is just a legend nowadays. Dalawang ulit pa nilang pinalabas yan. I know this is just for entertainment but look, GMA i guess is teaching something already that is not factual. More research ang kailangan dito. Ni hindi nga kilala ng mga pilipino kung saan talaga tayo nagmula. GMA must stop if they can't give integrity in this tale if it is truly a history, if they don't know enough.

But we have a fish called tawilis 😂
Ibn battuta visited kaylakuri, the capital of urduja.
Kaylakuri is Grahi, modern day Chaiya in Thailand
Her name is Dewi Durga or Urduja Wijayamalasingha
Ibn Battuta even mention she had a turkish teacher which confirm with the local story and her victorious fight against Sukothai
Impossible. The country of Tawalisi was mentioned by Ibn Battuta twice. On his way to China he said it was only 17-DAYS journey. Then when he was returning home from China, past 10 DAYS they were already near Tawalisi.
The only countries near China to fit that sailing days are The Philippines and Vietnam.
The most likely candidate is the Philippines because he was using the EASTERN ROUTE. Otherwise, he would have chosen Canton/Guangzhou (near Hongkong) to reach Vietnam.
South of Quanzhou is thr Philippines, not Vietnam, not Thailand, and certainly not Peninsular Malaysia.

@@nagamalaya4232 That is just a fictionalized tale of the real Urduja. Malaysian historians themselves do not accept Adruja as a real historical person.

Ibn Battuta arrived to Tawalisi in roughly 2 months from Sumatra/Java [Mul-Java]. It will not take you 2 months by boat just to arrive in Malaysia from Sumatra/Java. Tawalisi is a place far from Malaysia, but near China.

@@markjosephbacho5652 Of course he wasn't making things up. He was the traveler. But there's too many places between China and Java. You are the one making things up. He mentioned Talawisi, yes.
