Maga’Låhi Sanglo - Ati, (Cetti Bay) Guåhan


Maga’Låhi Sanglo was a brave warrior from the southern district of Ati, (Cetti Bay) Guåhan.  Sanglo participated in the many battles against the Spaniards.

He was later accused for his involvement in previous battles that resulted in the loss of Spanish soldiers and Father Francisco Ezquerra on February 2, 1674.

Francisco S.J. Garcia noted that Sanglo eluded the Spaniards for several years using guerrilla tactics until his capture in 1679.  He built a home in a secret hiding place in the jungle and was sustaining his family there, when one day his own friend was interrogated by the Spaniards and disclosed to the soldiers Sanglo’s whereabouts.

The soldiers surrounded his home and attacked Sanglo unexpectedly, and he was speared in his side.  He tried to escape, but in a short time was captured and pierced with a sword.

The soldiers had his head cut off and taken to priests to be “impaled in public.”
