It belongs to a noble lineage according to Vicente de Cadenas y Vicent[5] Chronicler King of Arms of the Kingdom of Spain and the last Cronista Rey de Armas appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Justice.

The Mangubat surname were members of the Spanish nobility class and Filipino native royalty class with a Spanish heraldry of Azure shield, with a gold pike or pica, put on stick[lower-alpha 1] and positioned vertically at the center of the shield.[6]

As a family name it predates the Claveria's Decree of 1849 a decree requiring Filipino commoners to adopt an already existing Spanish family names made available and listed in the Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos. Restricted and exclusively used for the male descendants of Mangubat who was the king of Mactan and successor of Lapu-Lapu in the 16th century to avoid any false claims to special rights and nobility.

Before the American came to the Philippines, and before the Republic of the Philippines existed as a Sovereign state in 1946, the Philippine archipelago and the Kingdom of Mactan were part of the territory of the Spanish Empire up to 1899.

Filipino Indian monarchs became Filipino Spanish kings, that constituted the SPANISH EMPIRE and their warriors were converted into Imperial Army particularly those Indian kingdoms that helped the European Spanish Expeditionary team to gain foothold in the region and voluntarily set out for conquest using their own resources and people, Attacking neighboring kingdoms that refuses to be part of the Union. the term "Filipino" predated the Philippine Republic, and was used since the 1500s to denote Spanish people native to the now Philippine Archipelago.

Mangubat when related to a name, it usually means marauders, pirates and warriors[7][8] in the Visayas. Antonio de Morga, in his book published in 1609 Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (Events of the Philippine Islands), mentions that the term means "to go to war and raid for plunder" and described the native as "a race less inclined to agriculture, skillful in navigation and eager for war and raids for pillage and booty".[9][10] the term was also used by Francisco Baltazar (1778–1862) in his 1838 book Florante at Laura to means "to go for battle".[11] The term is derived from two Filipino words – the verb mang (to do) and the noun gubat (war).[12] "Gubat" is a common word for war in the language of the Visayans,the ancient Tagalog,[13] the Ilocano people,[14] the Igorot people,[lower-alpha 2] in Mindanao, and in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.[lower-alpha 3]

Etymology

The term is ancient, appearing in both noun and verb forms in the books contemporaneous with the pintados age.

A mangubat was a man who left his homeland, family, and people for war adventure, mainly for tattooing for honor and fame or sometimes for slave-raiding, with the implication that he planned to return home with his newly won fortune and fame. It does not include the concept of staying in the place one has conquered for in the Pintados culture for one to have a tattoo one must prove himself in battle.

The word existed in both a noun form (mangubat, the person traveling for war adventure)[15] and a verb form (mangubat, to travel for war or participate in one of these adventures).
