Blood compact

Blood compact

Blood compact or blood covenant (in Spanish "pacto de sangre") is an old ritual where two people drink each other's blood as part of a native custom to seal a friendship, a pact or treaty, or to validate an agreement.

The blood pact is a staple feature in many Chinese kung-fu movies.Fact|date=February 2007

One of the more classic examples of the blood compact called Sandugo in "Tagalog" took place in Bohol, Philippines. The ritual was made in native Bohol-style between the Spanish king conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi and Filipino native of Bohol, Datu Sikatuna.

A blood compact was also made between Ferdinand Magellan and Rajah Humabon. Magellan himself took part in several of these ceremonies before attacking Mactan Island.
