About this Video:
💖 In this “Valentine’s Day” special video, we’ll dig deeper into the legendary love story of Nakhoda Ragam (Sultan Bolkiah, 5th Sultan of Brunei) and Puteri Laila Menchanai (Princess of Sulu). We’ll learn more about the tale of their romantic but tragic love story that was passed down in Brunei’s traditional songs and theater. We will also look at what actually happened according to history and how their epic royal wedding left a lasting impact in the history of Southeast Asia. We’ll also get to know some of their living descendants today! (you’d be surprised! 😉)
About Kirby:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a renowned Filipino Culture Bearer and currently the National Coordinator for Culture and Heritage for NAFCON (National Alliance for Filipino Concerns). He is a Dátû and Lakan by blood, a direct descendant of the last indigenous Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), and of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros who fought for the liberation of the Philippines from colonialism. Kirby's upbringing exposed him to the contradicting worlds of traditional politics and grassroots activism.
With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, culture, government, and human rights) and a strong commitment to serve the community, Kirby studied in some of the world’s most prestigious universities, such as Harvard, UC Davis, and Université catholique de Louvain. Kirby is also the Co-Founder of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at the University of California, Davis, and author of the book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide.” He is a visiting professor at various colleges in the Philippines and a research fellow with Sínúpan Singsing, an institute for indigenous advocacy and the study of Kapampángan language, history, and culture.
Dátû Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his heritage; he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and play.
