This is not only in General Santos but its actually the whole of Mindanao and other parts of the Philippines.
Royal families have been fighting for their ancestral domain in all tribes.
And these tribes were also the ones who are in the middle of the war between the army and terrorist which is happening now in some parts of Mindanao.

Here's a section that will be of interest to those who are interested in very obscure monarchies in Asia & the Far East.This time,it is about the monarchies that are located in what is now East Timor & their reigning families.

If you have anything to contribute,please let us know.

The former Indonesian province of East Timor, made up of islands at the eastern end of the archipelago, became an independent republic in 2002. Indonesia and East Timor are not monarchies, but traditional leaders still have influence.
