Ombra Amilbangsa was a Filipino politician served as a member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines from the 1st until the representing the lone district of Sulu.

Amilbangsa filed a House Bill No. 5682 in 1961[1] before the House of Representatives during the fourth session of the 4th Congress[2] which calls for the granting of independence to the Province of Sulu as a sovereign nation due to what he felt was negligence of the central government over the concerns of his province. The measure was not acted upon by the Congress.[3] According to an autobiography about Moro leader, Nur Misuari, Amilbangsa favored the inclusion of the disputed areas in North Borneo to an envisioned independent Sultanate of Sulu.[1]

Amilbangsa married Princess Piandao Kiram of the House of Kiram who proclaimed him as Sultan of Sulu but this was opposed by the Council of Royal Datus and Ruma Bichara who alleged he lacked lineage to the Sultanate's first sultan.[4]
