Sanmalan

The Chinese recorded a year 1011 tribute from Rajah Chulan, ruler of Sanmalan, who was represented at the imperial court by his emissary Ali Bakti.

[5][6] The tribute born by Rajah Chulan to the Chinese Emperor included aromatics, dates, glassware, ivory, peaches, refined sugar, and rose- water, which suggests that Sanmalan had trade links into Western Asia.

[1] The later Chinese historical chronicle Zhufan Zhi 諸蕃志 published at 1225; wrote once again about Sanmalan but it was now known as Shahuagong.

[8] Under Spanish rule, the location of Sanmalan received Mexican and Peruvian military immigrants.

[9] After a rebellion against Spanish rule, the state that replaced Spain and had subsisted on what was once Sanmalan's location, was the short-lived Republic of Zamboanga.
