**Datu Mama Bago** (1770 – March 15, 1850) (daːtʊ maːma baguː; [Jawi](/source/Jawi_script):دات مام بڠو) was the [Datu](/source/Datu) of [Davao Gulf](/source/Davao_Gulf) from 1830 till his death 1850, serving as vassal under the [Sultanate of Buayan](/source/Sultanate_of_Buayan).[1] Aside from being known to have conquered most of the [Davao Gulf](/source/Davao_Gulf) area for his domain in the early 19th-century, he was also known for his dogged resistance against the [Spanish](/source/Spanish_East_Indies) [Empire](/source/Spanish_Empire) who went on to conquer his capital settlement of Pinagurasan, now present-day [Davao City](/source/Davao_City).[2] He remains a local hero in Davao City for his military exploits, being officially made a historical hero by the City Government of Davao in 2018.[3]
