There were only 18 wives of Datu Piang who were listed here in his last will and testament, although it was alleged by some historians that he had at least 100 wives.

Cross Reference:
1. This building was not only a real
casa grande -
I think it had been the
country place of the Spanish comman-
dant of the district - but it had been
made into a fortalice by means of a
stockade fifteen feet high. This barrier
was pierced by numerous ports where-
in were placed brass
lantakas -
small
cannon of Moro or Chinese manufac-
We were introduced into a large
apartment already well filled with
Piang's warriors expectant of our
appearance. I was somewhat amused
to perceive that the place had been
arranged to achieve something of the
effect of a European throne-room. At
the end was a low dais whereon was
set a great chair of bright narra-wood.
Over it, a canopy of red and white cloth
was suspended from the ceiling. In front
of the dais, a dozen chairs were being
installed for our accommodation.
Datu Piang himself smilingly led
each one of us to a seat. Then he ens-
conced himself in the great chair on the
platform. He flung a word to a man who
stood at a side door, the fellow swung
wide the door - and the ladies of the
harem and their attendant women filed
in to see the show. They were not veiled
- I doubt if the free-and-easy Moham-
medans of the Philippines ever veil their
woman. And the only sort of seclusion
the women preserved in our presence
that day way to huddle together at the

side of the room.
Datu Piang did not favor having concubines. Thus, he married all the women given to him by certain datus, as a gesture of respect for these datus. (Page 109)
4. Family records kept by Datu Abdul
Piang, son of Datu Guialudin Piang,
one-time mayor of Buluan, and the sixth
son of Datu Piang, listed only 18 wives
of Datu Piang. From these wives, he
had 33 children. These were the only
children cited in his last will and
testament, including Datu Sinsuat who
he regarded as his son.

3. The careers of the "Cotabato trium-
virate" provide the basis for assessing
the effect of American colonialism on
indigenous political and economic
relations in the Cotabato Basin. The
biographies indicate, first, that the
colonial datus generally had only
tenuous ties to the high nobility of the
Cotabato sultanates, and some had
none at all. While the old high nobility
was permanently devitalized by the
colonial order - surviving only as digni-
taries - the "new datus... created their
own
maratabat
[rank honor]," as well
as purchased it for their children
through intermarriages with noble
families, often facilitated by extraordi-
narily high bridewealth payments
(Beckett 1982, 408). This process is
clearly evident in the dynasty-building
careers of Piang and Sinsuat.

2. Major-Gen. Leonard Wood and W.
Cameron Forbes visited Datu Piang, the
richest and one of the most influential
Moros in the province. Datu Piang owns
thousands of acres of land and hundreds
of cattle and horses.
Datu Piang told his visitors that he has
seven wives in his harem and thirty-one
living children. He estimated that his
children who have died number sixty, and
explained his system of pensioning off
his wives when they become old. Datu
Piang complained that the public schools
were alienating his children from the
Mohammedan religion.
