Jolo (Tausūg: Sūg) is a volcanic island in the southwest Philippines and is the primary island of the province of Sulu. It is located in the Sulu Archipelago, between Borneo and Mindanao, and has a population of approximately 300,000 people.
The island is the location of the Jolo Group of Volcanoes, and contains numerous volcanic cones and craters, including the active Bud Dajo cinder cone.
After a series of less-than-successful attempts during the centuries of Spanish rule in the Philippines, Spanish forces captured the city of Jolo, the seat of the Sultan of Sulu, in 1876.
On that year, the Spanish launched a massive campaign to occupy Jolo. Spurred by the need to curb slave raiding once and for all and worried about the presence of other Western powers in the south (the British had established trading centers in Jolo by the 19th century and the French were offering to purchase Basilan Island from the cash strapped government in Madrid, Spain), the Spanish made a final bid to consolidate their rule in this southern frontier. On 21 February of that year, the Spaniards assembled the largest contingent against Jolo, consisting of 9,000 soldiers, in 11 transports, 11 gunboats, and 11 steamboats. Headed by Admiral Jose Malcampo, the contingent captured Jolo and established a Spanish settlement with Capt. Pascual Cervera appointed to set up a garrison and serve as military governor; he served from March 1876 to December 1876 followed by Brig.Gen. Jose Paulin (December 1876 – April 1877), Col. Carlos Martinez (Sept 1877 – Feb 1880), Col. Rafael de Rivera (1880–1881), Col. Isidro G. Soto (1881–1882), Col. Eduardo Bremon, (1882), Col. Julian Parrrado (1882–1884), Col. Francisco Castilla (1884–1886), Col. Juan Arolas (1886–1893), Col. Caesar Mattos (1893), Gen. Venancio Hernandez (1893–1896) and Col. Luis Huerta (1896–1899).

"#JOLO" is the fourteenth episode of the thirteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 245th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on April 12, 2015, and is written by Artie Johann and Shawn Ries and directed by Julius Wu.
As Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe are hanging out at the Drunken Clam, they talk about the new billboard advertising pudding and decide to go check it out. Arguing over whether or not it contains real pudding, Peter climbs up to check and finds a missing child. Mayor Adam West holds a ceremony in honor of this and gives Peter the key to the city, but Joe suddenly feels disappointed for not being similarly honored after his many years on the force. Joe decides to spontaneously quit his job at the Quahog Police Department and leave his family.
While Lois feels sorry for Joe's family, Peter is less concerned. He, Quagmire and Cleveland visit him in his new apartment and find he is living his dream life. When he suggests a road trip to Niagara Falls, they find he is performing stunts like cow tipping and crashing student keg parties. His attitude gets on their nerves, but after they arrive, they find he is trying to kill himself at the falls. But when they look over the edge, they find he is caught on a tree. Joe is rescued where he reveals that he feels worthless because he is not the man he used to be. They try to convince him that he's still a good man, only for him to try to kill himself a second time and get caught.
Oh, listen my dear friends and I'll tell you a story
About someone I barely knew at all
He was a friend of my friends and they told me about him
How he had nothing to break his fall
He had that bad religion in his blood
The kind that brings you down and can never lift you up
He was a beautiful young man on the streets of Austin
He was a ghost faced junkie on the streets of New Orleans
I could barely recognize him when I saw him
He had to look me in the face and say my name before I knew it was him
Oh buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend
What if they only gave you love when you lied?
It's bound to really rip you up inside
Pressures a person into that horrible mouth that leaves a bloody aftermath
Everything minus one is everything
He treated me with what I considered kindness
When I crawled off to sleep in my car he was worried about me
When we payed our respects to the moon on the outskirts of Austin
I'm sorry to say I was too shy to stay in touch with him
Oh buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend
And I wonder what it takes just to save one little life
Icarus almost made it back to the shore
When I was really down, there were three little words
From a couple of good people that kept me holding on
Oh buddy, I'll never get a chance again
Oh buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend
Oh buddy, I'll never get a chance again
