How a Punjabi-origin war hero became an important political figure in the Philippines

Indians began migrating in small numbers to the Philippine Archipelago as early as the 2nd century CE, when Hinduism and Indian influence reached the farthest corners of Southeast Asia.

One prominent member of the Filipino-Indian community to emerge from these waves was Ramon Bagatsing, the son of an immigrant who became a war hero and a key political figure.

Bagatsing’s father, Mataram Singh Banga, migrated to Hong Kong from Banga, Punjab, and then moved to the Philippines in early 20th century. Taking inspiration from Indian freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, Banga changed his surname to Bagatsing (a localised spelling of the name). Banga was also connected with the Ghadar Movement in the Philippines. Bagatsing’s mother Ramona was a Filipina who was born in 1916 in the Negros Occidental Province and moved to Manila in the late 193
