Before Spanish colonialism in the Philippines began, there stood a large kingdom called the Kingdom of Manila which established close relations with the Sultanate of Brunei, the Sultanate of Sulu, and the Sultanate of Ternate. The kingdom of Manila is a combination of several Islamic kingdoms that ruled in the Manila region of the Philippines in the 16th century. There were three kings who ruled, they were King Sulaeman, King Matanda, and King Lakandula.

King Sulaeman was then in power in the Tondo and Manila regions. Together with King Matanda, Raja Sulaeman ruled the Tagalog Tribe in the area south of the Pesig River in Manila. Whereas King Lakandula ruled in the area north of the Pesig River in Manila. Long before Spain arrived, the Kingdom of Manila had grown rapidly and collaborated in trade with other kingdoms on the opposite island.

Records related to King Sulaeman's identity were found in Mochtar Naim's 1974 dissertation entitled "Going Out: The Pattern of Minangkabau Migration". In the setting it was found evidence that there were some Minangkabau people who migrated to the Sulu Islands, Philippines. Including footsteps from Raja Sulaeman who finally founded Manila City.

During his reign, Raja Sulaeman succeeded in introducing Islam to the Tagalog tribe. It is even said that the name of the Philippines comes from the absorption of the word Fi'amanillah which is meaningful under the protection of Allah. But since the fall of the Kingdom of Manila many Muslims from the Tagalog tribe were Christianized by Spain.

Spain began to come to the Philippines by sea using a large sailing boat led by Martin Goiti and Juan de Salcedo. At the beginning of his arrival, the Spaniards were welcomed warmly by Raja Sulaeman. Raja Sulaeman then formed a friendship with Spain, even giving spices hundred and ladies in waiting.

After a while, King Sulaeman began to smell the rotten signs of Spain trying to master Manila and the wealth of its produce. On May 24, 1570 there was a fierce battle between King Sulaeman, King Matanda, and King Lakandula against Spain. The battle came to be known as the Bangkusay War. Because Spain was superior in terms of modern weaponry, three kings were defeated and then captured. The Spanish army then set fire to the City of Manila.

The Islamic Army of the Kingdom of Manila who managed to escape planned a major rebellion against Spain. But after the arrival of General Miguel Lopez de Legazpi to the Philippines with the assistance of the large Spanish military, the rebels surrendered. Then the rebels were forcibly Christianized.
