Cebu (historical polity)
&sq=&lang=en&file=File:Crystal_Clear_app_kedit.svg){kind=small} | This article or section may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards, as it uses Bisaya Patronymesis Sri Visjaya, Aginid, Bayok sa Atong Tawarik, and History of Panay from the first inhabitants and the Bornean immigrants from which the Bisayans are descended to the Arrival of the Spaniards as sources— as Sri Visjaya has been proven to be incorrect, while the authenticity of the Aginid is disputed, and the History of Panay is considered a mere legend, as well as Macachor and Montebon's works, which is greatly sourced from the former three..

Cebu, also called Sugbu, informally referred to as the Rajahnate of Cebu, was an Indianized mandala (polity) monarchy on the island of Cebu[3] in the Philippines prior to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. It is known in ancient Chinese records as the nation of Sokbu (束務) (Hokkien) or Suwu (Mandarin).[4] According to Visayan oral legend, it was founded by Sri Lumay[3] or Rajamuda Lumaya, a half-Malay and half-Tamil from Sumatra.[3][5] The capital of Cebu was Singhapala[6] which is Tamil-Sanskrit[7] for "Lion City", the same root words with the modern city-state of Singapore.
