Datu Mama Bago (1770 – March 15, 1850) (Maguindanaon pronunciation: [daːtʊ maːma baguː]; Jawi:دات مام بڠو) was the Datu of Davao Gulf from 1830 till his death 1850, serving as vassal under the Sultanate of Buayan.[1] Aside from being known to have conquered most of the Davao Gulf area for his domain in the early 19th-century, he was also known for his dogged resistance against the Spanish Empire who went on to conquer his capital settlement of Pinagurasan, now present-day Davao City.[2] He remains a local hero in Davao City for his military exploits, being officially made a historical hero by the City Government of Davao in 2018.[3]
