Deported Bangingi in Tumauini, Isabela Province

Note the non-Spanish family names that sounds like Bangingi names - Saddul, Gammad and Tamani.
"Tumauini became the settlement of the Balanguingui and Joloan warriors when they were deported on February 15, 1848 by the Governor General Narciso Claveria as a result of his famous expedition against piracy in the Samal Islands. The said warriors were resettled in ten ranches of Paragu and Pilitan jurisdiction of the town of Tumauini. As punishment these Muslim warriors were sent to work in the tobacco plantations for five days under the supervision of an American subject of German descent Mr. Franz Johann Reiz Vogel and the remaining two days were devoted to cultivation of their lands. These surviving Muslim Samals who now belong to the Vogged Clan of East Damang is an outstanding example of warriors tribes transformed into peace loving farmers."
