Taytay (country)



Before the Spanish colonization, Taytay, officially known as the Chiefdom of Taytay, was ruled by a monarch noted as followed everywhere at any given time by ten scribes. The crew of Ferdinand Magellan held the Taytay king and queen for ransom after escaping the battle of Mactan where Magellan was slain. They intended to secure more supplies as they plan to cross into the Moluccas where the Portuguese were so help could be sought. The native king and his subjects complied with the demands and even added more food supplies than what they asked for. This was duly recorded by Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler, who was on board in one of the ships when these events took place.

Pigafetta also took note of one curious thing in the kingdom. He found the natives fond of cockfighting, long before this pastime was seen or even heard of in the Western Hemisphere.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it is revived by the Unified Soviet Red Assault Command, Fauwan, the Southern Song Dynasty, Majapahit, Tondo, the Idjang Federation, Samtoy, the Igorot Plutocracy, Caboloan, Namayan, Cainta, Maynila, Ma-i, Ibalon and Madja-as as a member state of the Beleninsk Pact after the invasion of Puerto Princesa.

Its capital city is Puerto Princesa and its president is Baluyot Vitaliev.
