• Source: Manila conflict (1769)

The Manila conflict, sometimes called the Second Castilian War, was a brief conflict between the Bruneian Sultanate and the Sultanate of Sulu and later the Spanish Empire.




Background


After Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin learned about the situation in Manila of the Philippines, due to it being Bruneian territory, he was not pleased. As a result, he gave command to attack Sultan Alimuddin in Manila with his forces under the command of Pehin Orang Kaya Di-Gadong Seri Lela Awang Aliwaddin in 1769.




War


The mission did not arrive in Manila until 1769 because the expedition's preparations took so long. Sultan Alimuddin had already departed Manila for Sulu, therefore Manila was under Spanish rule when the siege began. The siege was successful as Manila was captured by the Brunei sultanate.

This victory showed that Brunei could still defeat European empires and also showed that Spain was weaker than the last time Brunei fought Spain in 1578.
