John Datu was born on November 30, 1896.
The legend says that in the 13th century, 10 datus or chieftains from Borneo left their land together with their families and friends to escape the cruelty and injustice of Sultan Makatunaw, the ruler of Borneo. The ten datus were: Datu Puti (the leader), Datu Bangkaya, Datu Dumalugdog, Datu Sumakwel, Datu Lubay, Datu Paiburong, Datu Dumangsil, Datu Balensusa, Datu Paduhinog and Datu Dumangsol. They sailed on their balangays (vintas or boats) without knowing where to go. Finally they reached Panay Island. They bought the island from the chieftain of the Atis or Aetas who were then occupying the island. The chieftain's name was Marikudo and his wife was Maniwantiwan. Three of the datus decided not to settle in Panay but to sail northward. The three were: Datu Puti, Datu Balensusa and Datu Dumangsil. They settled in some parts of Luzon. When Sultan Makatunaw was no longer in power, Datu Puti returned to Borneo. The seven datus who stayed in Panay divided the island into three areas: Hamtik (now Antique), Irong-Irong (now Iloilo), and Aklan (now Aklan and Capiz). Hamtik was under Datu Sumakwel, Irong-Irong was under Datu Paiburong, and Aklan was under Datu Balangkaya.
