About Bankaw
The Bankaw revolt (1621–1622) was a religious uprising against Spanish colonial rule led by Bankaw or Bancao, datu of Limasawa, Carigara, Abuyog, Sogod. He welcomed Miguel Lopez de Legazpi's landing in Carigara in 1565, made a blood pact and converted to Christianity. He received a letter of gratitude and a gift from King Philip II of Spain for his and his grandfather's hospitality to Legazpi and Ferdinand Magellan, respectively. Despite becoming one of the first converts of Catholicism during the Legazpi expedition, he apostatized and severed his allegiance to the Spanish after fifty years. Together with his children, notable his son Pagali, a babaylan, he built a temple for a diwata, and he incited people from six towns to participate in the revolt. It is believed that Pagali used some magic to attract followers, and thought that they could turn the Spaniards into clay by hurling bits of earth at them.
