RUMOR To crown Tombolotutu as National Hero had been voiced since the 1990s.
However, the efforts to achieve this are constrained by the official documents
as primary data. The climax was when Dr. Lukman Nadjamuddin M.Hum became a
historical speaker at the 2014 International Seminar at the Malaysia National
University.

At that time, the seminar participants encouraged Dr. Lukman
Nadjamuddin to examine the struggle of Tombolotutu. Because the information was
obtained, the Dutch Government kept many official documents that told about
Tombolotutu. So that in 2017, Tadulako University in collaboration with the
Parigi Government, Moutong, initiated a study that was poured in a book titled
Bara Battle in Tomini Bay, Perjotutu Battle against the Netherlands.

According to him, Bara Battle in Tomini Bay Book has a lot to discuss
about the heroic stories shown by Tombolotutu against the Dutch. One of them,
when the Dutch Government lowered Marsose’s troops to crush the Tombolotutu’s
resistance. Marsose is a special force or elite Dutch forces that have been
deployed during Diponegoro war and Aceh war. At that time, Marsose troops were
deployed to quell the opposition of Tombolotutu, which numbered approximately
170 troops. “We can already imagine how strong the power of Tombolotutu at
the time, although with Marsose’s troops, the Dutch had never succeeded in
quelling Tombolotutu. This is historical data. Because of that, I think
Tombolotutu deserves to be proposed as a National Hero, “said Taswin Borman.

To crown Tombolotutu as National Hero, many requirements must be
fulfilled as mandated in law number 20 of 2009 concerning titles, services and
honors. “This dissected book has been quite good, just to complete the
Autotography of Tombolotutu and the document of his struggle,” Taswin
said.
