The following information is sourced from the website The Only Website of Dynasties out of Europe (http://www.almanach.be/about/index.htm)
in http://www.almanach.be/search/p/phil_sulu.html

The original name of HH Hadji Mohammad Jamalul Kiram II  was  Hadji Butu
 

The following paragraph is found.   This proves the story of Antonio Tatang Ilustrisimo's story that he was adopted by a Hadji Mohammad who was the Sultan of Sulu.    So far,  nobody has proven or determined the link.    This website has now proven that such a person existed,  and is not only a Hadji (as Tatang claimed),  but is the Sultan (as Tatang claimed),  and the dates coincides with Tatang'ss dates.    Read the paragraph below:-
 

HH Hadji Mohammad Jamalul Kiram II ibni Al Marhum Sultan Jamalul Alam, Sultan of Sulu 1882/1884-1936,  signed a treaty with US General John C. Bates recognising the US sovereignty on 20/8/1899 (The Bates Treaty abolished unilaterally by the USA in 4/1904),  signed a memorandum-agreement with the US Governor General of the Philippine Islands on 22/3/1915 in Zamboanga, Mindanao Islands recognizing the sovereignty of the USA and reducing his sovereignty to spiritual headship of the Muslim people of Sulu and Mindanao, retired to Pahlawan.

Also:
BRIEF HISTORY: The Sultanate of Sulu was founded in the 15th century, in the Archipelago of Sulu located between Borneo and the Philippines. The Spanish and then the Americans made several attempts to suppress the Sultanate which was finally annexed by the US Philippines in 1915.
The Sultanate of Sulu ruled over Sabah since 1658, today one of the states in Northern Borneo, composing the federated Kingdom of Malaysia. There are today at least 6 pretenders from two lineages, the Alimuddin and the Kiram. The rival claims may be explained, among other factors, by payments due for Sabah by Malaysia, following the 1882 British North Borneo Company's creation, by an inheritance in Australia, and by politics in the Philippines. Also named Solok or Suluh.
 

Also:  Note how many of the royal family are living in Tawau,  which is Sifu/Guro hJohn Chow's hometown in sabah, Malaysia!!!!!
