Bud Dajo Massacre: The Untold Story of American Atrocities in Philippines
Ойын-сауық
What happens when a sanctuary becomes the scene of a harrowing massacre? In 1906, the Battle of Bud Dajô unfolded on the island of Sulu, Philippines. But it wasn't a battle - it was an unspeakable tragedy in the history. A chilling episode where almost 1,000 indigenous villagers were gruesomely massacred by the Americans.

About KIRBY:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a Filipino American historian, content creator, and renowned culture bearer based in California. He is also the author of the groundbreaking book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide,” and the Co-Founder and former Director of Operations for the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at the University of California, Davis.
Kirby is a direct descendant of the last indigenous Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros, and of World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the islands we now call the Philippines.
Born in Angeles City, Philippines, Kirby spent his childhood amidst the rebuilding of his homeland in the aftermath of Mt. Pinatubo’s cataclysmic eruption. His childhood beneath the shadows of the city’s red-light district, slum neighborhoods, and Clark Air Base (a former U.S. military installation) sparked his lifelong passion in advocating for the rights and the well-being of marginalized and disenfranchised communities. As a direct descendant of revolutionaries, politicos, and activists, Kirby’s upbringing was molded by productively engaging and navigating the realms of advocacy, traditional politics, and grassroots activism.
With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, public affairs, and filmmaking) and a strong commitment to serving the community, Kirby studied at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, such as Harvard University, the University of California, Davis, and the Université catholique de Louvain (one of Europe’s oldest universities). He has been teaching Filipino people’s history through writing in indigenous Philippine scripts (Kulitan & Baybayin) for over a decade.
Today, Kirby is well-known for his educationally engaging KZread channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between! He is also currently working on his next big book “Luzones & the New World: Forgotten Histories from Southeast Asia to the Americas” along with an easy-to-read book and zine series known as “Know Our Roots,” and an educational coloring book series called “Color Our Roots.”
Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his colorful heritage (Kapampángan, Tagálog, Indigenous Áytá, Pangasinan, and Spanish-Basque-Portuguese-Irish Mestizo); he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and creativity. Kirby is a Dátû and Lakan by blood but an Artist-Scholar-Activist at heart.

Today marks the 118th anniversary of this horrific "Battle" 🔥
Thank you for sharing such an important history 💛🌻
Our country has deep history as rich as our warm hearts. Thank you Kirby. I love your narrations.
Salugai ta buhi dih ha dunya magkasilasa... Thank you for sharing this grim part of the history of the indigenous people of Mindanao, Kirby. I have seen information about this slaughter before, and I recall Pangulo Duterte mentioning it. My wife is indigenous (Higaonon from Bukidnon Mindanao), and it's true that the indigenous tribes suffered under the Spaniards, the Americans, the Japanese, and, sadly, under the government as well. All people want really is to live in peace on their ancestral lands and to retain their culture and language. Maayad tungkay, Kirby. Maayo gyud. Mabuti talaga.
Bud Dajo massacre was literally undiscussed here in the Philippines (or the region where I'm in). The very first time I came across this was when I was reading about Mark Twain, not from our textbooks.
Bud daho is my birthplace and my parents parents parents born there and one of my ancestors was one of the victims.its true that it was Genocide by America that's why until today tausug never forget that and our ancestors wrote it in our own factual history.and this story passed throughout members of the family.
Great docu vid @kirby! Well done! ❤
its not even a clash or a battle. they were cornered and slaughtered.

Sir Kirby! Asan na po yung story ni Sultan Kudarat. Patiently waiting🥺🙏
Hindi ko na kayang panoorin ulit ito. Ang sakit sa puso
Oh... and Americans didn't apologized for that. So sad.
Wasn't the photo of the tragedy shown by President Duterte, Datu Kirby?

@@KirbyAraullo is there an apology, and regret from the United States government, Datu?
Shocking and sickening indeed!
Thanks!
I hope you'll make a Tagalog version of this Sir Kirby
My great-grandpa in my father's side was in Bud Dajo and participated in the killings.
Same what happened to Bud Bagsak in Sulu.

Yes, that's why I made sure to put "The First Battle of Bud Dajo" 😊
"Independent" by their territories reduced and made deals with the Spaniards and Americans before the Moro Rebellion.
Now history will be repeating herself in the Philippines!!
👌👌👌
ask ko lang, ano kaya scenario sa Pilipinas kung nangyari ang nuclear war noong 1983 USA vs USSR
I will try to go to Congress in the Philippines to Suggest that because yes we are pilipino but our first language was Spanish when Spaniard colonized us we should go back to Speaking espanol as our first language and English as a second language
I have something for you to write if you want and that is if Filipino can obsolete every Dialect we have and only speak Spanish and English that mean take out the tagalog and all other Dialects of Filipino and only Speak Spanish and English a Language in the Philippines
Let me know if that is possible since we are colonized by both USA and Spain
i think the Battle of Bud Dajo is not forgotten, nasa history book yan ng elementary student nung 90s to 2000s FYI i seen it, ang problema lang diyan marami Filipino nangangrap manirahan sa US kapag pinaglaban ang Battle of Bud Dajo malamang baka mahirapan ka makakuha ng US Visa kaya marami nanahimik tungkol diyan .
Marayaw pa in bukog ayaw in mutiin tikudtikud isang kasabihan ng mga tausog na nangangahulogang masmabuti pang lumabas ang iyong mapuputing buto sa labanan kesa tumakbo at talikuran ang iyong kaaway/correct me if i am wrong brothers and sisters🖤
That's why I don't call myself an 'American'
Amboyloids watch this.
Bud dajo are grandfather's of the Abu sayaf
Remember black kettle
what countries did you invited into your country in 2024???????? Did you learned from from history????????
