I take pride in sharing the stories of unsung Moro heroes.

Sheikh Salamat Hashim, my granduncle, was the founder of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. His written works and ideology helped shape mine with regards to Moro identity. He was branded as a criminal but only to those who saw him as one. In truth, he (along with many others) made it possible for the Moros to thrive in today’s age.

“Salamat Hashim was born on 7th July, 1942 in the Municipality of Pagalungan, Maguindano. He comes from a religious family of seven..

Salamat's first teacher was his mother. It was through her tutorship and guidance that at the age of six he could read the Holy Qur'an and memorised many of its verses.

At the age of six he started formal education, finishing his elementary education in 1954 with honours and his secondary education in 1958 also with honours.

In 1958, Salamat joined the pilgrims from the Philippines for Hajj. He took this opportunity to stay behind and study in Makkah under the care of Sheikh Zawawi. He attended regularly the halaqat held at the Masjid al Haram and enrolled at the Madrasat as-Sulatiyah ad-Diniyah.

In 1959, he went to Cairo, which at that time was the centre of political activism in the Middle East. There, he enrolled at Al-Azhar University. He graduated from al-Azhar's Ma'had al-Buhuth al-Islamiyyah as-Sanawiyyah in 1963, then enrolling at al-Azhar's college of Theology for a bachelor's degree program majoring in Aqeedah and Philosophy and graduated in 1967. Pursuing his scholastic inclination further, he took up his postgraduate courses in the same university and finished his master's degree in 1969. He completed the academic requirements for a doctoral degree, but was unable to write his dissertation because he had to return to the Philippines by then to organise the Moro revolutionary movement.

Salamat was an active student leader. His active participation to different student activities exposed him to various revolutionary trends, both Islamic and Secular, which Cairo was known for at that period. This exposure brought him awareness of the colonial oppression his Muslim brothers and sisters were suffering back home, an awareness which gradually transformed him from a scholar to an Islamic revolutionary.

Among the student organisations he took part in are the Philippine Muslim Student Association and the Organisation of Asian Students in Cairo. He was elected President of the former and Secretary-General of the latter.

While in Cairo, he clandestinely organised a core group among the Bangsamoro Muslim students who planned the Bangsamoro revolution in the early sixties. To finance their early activities, each member contributed half of his meager allowance to a common fund.

It is interesting to note that amongst the revolutionary Muslim thinkers who influenced Salamat, two Muslim personalities made a lasting impression on him: Syed Qutb and Syed Abul A'la Maududi. It was, however, Syed Qutb's writings which shaped his Islamic outlook and political beliefs. The impact that Syed Qutb and Maududi made on him was what inspired him to plant the seeds of Islamic revolution in the Bangsamoro homeland.

Known but to a few, Salamat was the one responsible for covertly arranging the military training of the first batch of cadres (Batch 90) that was to become the military core group of the Moro National Liberation Front. Working with a prominent political leader, he laid the groundwork for the organisation of the Bangsamoro armed struggle.”

For National Heroes Day, I am sharing the brief story of one of my personal heroes; my great-granduncle, Datu Salipada K. Pendatun. His legacy lives on through the MPM.

“Senator Datu Salipada K. Pendatun was a lawyer, military officer, legislator and national leader of many “Firsts”.

Stocky and solidly built, he was the first and only Muslim who headed a combined Muslim Christian-American guerilla army, the first Filipino Muslim to be conferred the rank of Brigadier General, the first Muslim elected senator, the first to hold three Senate Committee Chairmanship at the same time, the first Muslim delegate to the United Nations and the first Muslim to become Speaker Pro-Tempore of the House Representatives.

He was also a champion of the unification of the free world and exponent of the cause that a combination of Christian and Muslim free countries can successfully resist Communist aggression and domination.

When the South Vietnam situation became serious, Mr. Pendatun offered from 6,000 to 10,000 Filpino officers and men composed of the reserve officers of the Legion of the Philippines, of which he was the adviser and spokesman, and veterans who served under him in the guerilla army during the Japanese occupation, to serve in beleaguered South Vietnam.

General Pendatun was a descendant of Sharif Kubungsuan, son of the Sultan of Jahor, Malaya and the first ruler of the Empire Province of Cotabato with the title of Sultan as Maguindanao.

Senator Pendatun, better known as “Sali” to friends, was born in Pikit, Cotabato, on December 3, 1912, of pure Malayan Muslim parentage.

He completed his elementary and high school education in Cotabato, obtained his Associate in arts degree in 1934 and Bachelor of Laws degree in 1938, both from the University of the Philippines, and passed the bar examination also in 1938.

When the Japanese forces invaded the Philippines, he did not surrender to the Japanese Imperial Army and instead formed a large guerilla army of Muslims and Christians.

American soldiers, who refused to surrender to the Japanese Army, also joined Pendatun’s guerilla outfit. He was the only Muslim leader who received the highest war awards from the United States, South Vietnam and the Philippines.

General Pendatun had served the country as member of the Cotabato Provincial Board (1938-1940); Provincial Governor of Cotabato (1945); Senator (1946-1951); President Elpidio Quirino’s technical adviser (1950-1953); Congressman for Cotabato (1957-1963); re-elected Senator (1969-1972); and Assemblyman at the Interim Batasang Pambansa (1978-1985).

He had also served as official member to various international conferences, including the United Nations in Paris and New York and represented the Philippine Government at the inauguration of the Indonesian Independence in Jakarta in 1949.

Senator Pendatun hit the limelight when he, together with Senator Tañada, voted against President Manuel A. Roxas Amnesty Proclamation for the collaborators of the last war. All the other 22 senators supported the amnesty proposal.

During his six-year term in the Senate, Senator Pendatun was chairman of the following important committees: Army, Navy and Military Pensions; Corporations, Banks and Franchises; and Special Organized Provinces.

Senator Pendatun was married to Aida S. Farales of Bulacan and Zambales. They had a twin daughter, Bai Moniera and Bai Zamrad, another daughter Bai Mariam, and only son Datu Salipada Khalid, Jr.

Senator Pendatun was the first and only Muslim who was married in a Catholic Church and retained his Islamicfaith with Pope’s dispensation.

Senator Salipada K. Pendatun – a martyr and hero for the Muslims.”
