Datu Paduhinog, also known as Datu Paduhinog Irong-Irong, was one of the ten Bornean datus who, according to the Maragtas, fled the tyranny of Sultan Makatu Nao in Borneo and settled in Panay Island, Philippines.
 
Here's what we can glean from the search results:
 
- Arrival in Panay: The ten datus, led by Datu Puti, sailed to Panay Island in search of a new home. They encountered the Aeta people, the indigenous inhabitants of the island, and negotiated the purchase of the land for a golden salakot (hat) and a gold necklace. 
- Division of Land: After settling in Panay, the ten datus divided the island among themselves. Datu Paduhinog is associated with the region of Irong-Irong, which corresponds to present-day Iloilo. 
- "Irong-Irong": This part of his name, "Irong-Irong," is often translated as "long nose" or "pointed nose." It may have been a descriptive nickname or a title reflecting his physical appearance or personality. 
- Historical Accuracy: While the Maragtas provides valuable insights, it is important to remember that it is a combination of historical fact and oral tradition. Modern studies have raised doubts about the accuracy of the legend. 
 
In summary, Datu Paduhinog of Irong-Irong is believed to have been one of the ten Bornean datus who settled in Panay Island, specifically in the area now known as Iloilo. His story is an important part of the Maragtas, but its historical accuracy is debated.
