Why Bangingi Studies

I have a personal interest in Bangingi Studies (BS) being descended from one. Thus on a personal level, this blog is a journey of discovery into my Bangingi past.

In history, Bangingi represents the only group in the Sulu Archipelago that is openly acceptable across ethno-linguistic groups. Is this partly because, Bangingi has served well as the navy of the maritime Sultanate of Sulu?

We are labelled the "Moro pirates" and all its negative connotation by the Spaniards; and "privateers" in the service of the Sulu sultan. There are more to the Bangingi than these. What is their history, culture, heritage and so on?
