My grandfather was named Datu Sinai (Arabic form, Zainal); my grandmother was Bai Menango. They had two sons, Datu Taurak (my uncle) and Datu Saber (my father). The family belonged to the royalty (datus and sultans) of Buadi Sakayo, a community located in what is now Marawi City and which itself is made up of five or seven originaln communities, each having an ancestral laiidclaim handed down to descendants.
