IS THE LANAO SULTANATE INCLUDED  IN THE TARITIB?

This refers to the article entitled “Why Sultan of Lanao, not of Ranao?”written by Mas Yahya in his Looking Back Column.

Is the Sultan of Lanao or Ranao part of the Taritib of the Pat a Phangampong?

We ask this because in every occasion that Taritib and Igma is a subject, the Lanao Sultanate is not mentioned as one of the Panoroganan sa Ranbao which composed of either fifteen, sixteen or seventeen; neither of the Mbabaya Ko Taritib which are twenty eight.

May we know who shall proclaim Mayor Mastura Manabilang as Sultan of Lanao or Ranao?
