KINGDOM OF TABUKAN

History of the kingdom of Tabukan

Antonio Pigafetta (a Magellan clerk in 1421) recorded that on the Sangihe there were four kings. Two on Siau and one on Tagulandang. But three centuries later historical sources, accoring to the writings of F. Valentijn, who came to the Sangihe early 18th century, mentioned only two kingdoms on Sangihe, namely Tabukan and Kalongan. According to him, then approximately in 1670 appeared nine kingdoms on Sangihe, namely: the kingdoms of Kendahe, Taruna, Kolongan, Manganitu, Kauhis, Limau, Tabukan, Sawang (Saban) and the Tamako.
After king Makaampo died, his son, Wuatengsemba, became the first king of Tabukan in the Portuguese and Spanish colonial period 1575-1610. Wuatengsemba married with Tansekoa daughter, the daughter of the queen Lohoraung. The kingdom covered Selimahe untill Padarehokang, except the Tamako region from Lelapide to Toademanandu, which belonged to the kingdom of Siau during the reign of Makaampo. During his reign the Portugese came to Tabukan.

A brief history of the kingdoms on the Sangihe Islands

13th century: kingdom of Tampunganglawo.

After 1400 the Tampunganglawo kingdom was divided into 2 parts, namely the northern part named Sahabe (Lumango) and the southern part named Manuwo (Saluran).

After 1530 these two kingdoms were reunited again by King Makaampo (Makaampo Wawengehe) with his territory starting from Sahabe, Kuma, Kuluhe, Manalu, Channel to Lapango, and this kingdom was called Rimpulaeng with the center of government in Channel (Moade) and ended until 1575.

Then Tampunganglawo, 3 kingdoms emerged:
* The Tahuna (Malahasa) kingdom was centered in Tahuna (Bukide), with its King Ansaawuwo also known as Tatehe or Tatehewoba (1580-1625).
* The Manganese kingdom was centered in Kauhis, with its King Boo or also known as Liung Tolosang (1600-1630).
* The Kingdom of Kendahe was centered in Makiwulaeng, with its King Egaliwutang (1600-1640).

1670: Around the 1670s, apart from the Tagulandang kingdom and the previously existing Siau kingdom on the southern boundary (Siau Tagulandang Biaro Islands), in Sangihe there were nine kingdoms, namely:

– kingdom of Kendahe,
– kingdom of Taruna,
– kingdom of Kolongan,
– kingdom of Manganitu,
– kingdom of Kauhis,
– kingdom of Limau,
– kingdom of Tabukan,
– kingdom of Sawang (Saban)
– kingdom of Tamako.

1900: In the 1900s only three kingdoms remained on Sangihe, namely:
– kingdom of Tabukan,
– kingdom of Manganitu,
– kingdom of Kendahe-Taruna.

Previous kingdoms disappeared because of a number of reasons.
The Tamako Kingdom became part of the Siau kingdom on the Siau Islands.
Meanwhile, the Limau kingdom was crushed by troops sent by the Dutch Governor in Maluku, Padtbrugge. This kingdom was ruined.
The Sawang Kingdom joined the Tahuna kingdom.
The Kauhis Kingdom joined the Manganitu kingdom.
In 1898 the kingdom of Kendahe and the kingdom of Taruna were united.
