Coordinates: 11°09′N 122°29′W / 11.150°N 122.483°W The Kedatuan of Madja-as or the Confederation of Madja-as (Kinaray-a and Aklanon: Kapunuan kang Madyas, Kapunuan it Madyas; Hiligaynon: Kahugpungan sang Madyas; Cebuano: Kahugpongan sa Madyas; Baybayin: ᜋᜇ᜔ᜌ᜵ᜀᜐ᜔ ; Filipino: Kumpederasyon ng Madyaas), was a pre-Hispanic Mandala in Panay, within the Visayas islands in what is now the Philippines, and was a Srivijayan vassal, next to the Sulu Archipelago. It was established by 10 leaders called Datus (Then reduced to 9, since Datu Puti, their leader, disappeared). Datus were high officials (Just rendered high-official during the invasion but before the Hindu invasion, Datus were considered co-equal Paramount Rulers of a Kedatuan). They were connected with the court of Indianized native kingdoms of Brunei and Srivijaya, who were forced to leave that land on account of enmity with the Rajah, who was ruling the land at that time. The datus, together with their wives and children, as well as a few faithful servants and followers; monks, scholars, soldiers were secretly escorted out of the country by the Rajah's Chief Minister, whose name was Datu Puti. The local folklore says that the name of the Bornean Rajah was Makatunao.
