In Philippine folk tradition, Rajah Salalila (c. early 1500s;[3] Baybayin: ᜐᜎᜎᜒᜎ, Sanskrit: शरीर, syarirah)[citation needed] was the Rajah or paramount ruler of the early Indianized Philippine settlement of Maynila, and the father of the individual named Ache, who would eventually be well known as Rajah Matanda.[1] Based on perceived similarities between the names, he is sometimes also called Sulaiman I (Abecedario: Súláiman, from Arabic: sulaiman سليمان) in the belief that he shared the name of his supposed grandson, Rajah Sulayman.[1]
Oral traditions cited by Odal-Devora (2000)[4] identify him as a son of the legendary Dayang Kalangitan and Rajah Lontok.[4] Genealogical traditions cited by Majul (1973) claim that he converted to Islam from indigenous Tagalog beliefs as a result of the missionary efforts of the Sultanate of Brunei.[5]
Salalila's rule ended when he died some time in the early 1500s,[2][1][3] and he was succeeded by his wife,[2][1][3] who was not named in historical accounts.[2][3] By 1570, his son Ache had succeeded to the position himself, and had come to be known as "Rajah Matanda" (lit. "Old Rajah").[1]
