Datu Daya

In this Philippine name for indigenous people, this person is addressed by the sole name, Daya.

Datu Daya was a legendary lord of Kandaya ("Daya's (kingdom)"), the place that is now known as Daanbantayan on the northern tip of Cebu Island in the Philippines.[1]

According to oral tradition, Datu Daya was the ruler of the first settlers in northern Cebu. The new settlers cleared forests and in a few years were able to establish a progressive community. Muslim Moro raiders continually attacked the community and kidnapped women and children until a bantayan (watchtower) was constructed to defend the town. For his glory, Datu Daya was idolized.

## Cultural remnants

[edit]

The town of Daanbantayan, Cebu has an annual celebration of chants and dances known as Haladaya (literally, "a tribute to Daya").[1]

Before the conversion of the district now known as Daanbantayan into a town, it was known as Kandaya (kang Daya \- Daya's place in Cebuano).
