The last SULTAN OF SULU "RECOGNISED" by the Government in Manila was SULTAN JAMALUL-KIRAM-II who died in 1936.


In a referendum dated Septemer 20, 1937, President Manuel L. Quezon did not RECOGNISE any "SUCCESSORS" TO SULTAN JAMALUL-KIRAM-II as the sovereign has no male heirs, but this document has no INTENTION of wanting to "ABOLISH" the Sulu Sultanate or disinherit THE KIRAM FAMILIES of any right to succession.[citation needed]

It simply evaded the issue in what could be a possible conflict of interest with Manila's claim of sovereignty over the islands of Sulu and Mindanao.
