Background In , prior to the Spanish Empire reaching the Philippines, the Bruneian Empire launched an attack on the Kingdom of Tondo, a significant trading city located on Luzon Island. Bolkiah, the fifth Sultan who controlled the Sultanate from 1485 to 1525, was in charge of the Bruneian Empire at the time of the assault. Given that Bolkiah supervised Brunei's rise to prominence as a powerhouse that swept over the Malay Archipelago, his reign is perhaps best remembered as the empire's golden period. The first records of a Maynila and a Tondo date back to the Martín de Goiti voyage to Manila in 1570.

Battle Sultan Bolkiah was renowned for frequently traveling overseas in an effort to get fresh perspectives and information that would aid in the development of his nation. But he really started to gather traction in 1500 when he made the decision to visit the Kingdom of Tondo in an effort to increase his power. Bolkiah founded the city of Selurong—later named Maynila, on the other side of the Pasig River shortly after taking over Tondo from its monarch, Lakan Gambang.
