The Old Name of Manila was Tanah Amanillah/Tanah Manillah/Tanah Manile – The “Ex Oriente Lux”

(According to 26th US President Theodore Roosevelt in his speech)

The 25th President of the United States of America, William McKinley was assassinated. Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt, a Rough Rider, was immediately installed as the 26th President of the United States of America. Roosevelt praised the civilization of the Moros in Manila as better than those in Europe. He confided that Spain forcibly occupied Tanah Manila which was not theirs: in the name of Spain and its God. He could be referring to Istanah-Malay word for abode. Roosevelt observed:  The Manila Sultanate better known to its neighbors as Tanah Manile was a great country, detached from the Madjapahit upheavals and part of what the Latinos called “Ex Oriente Lux” or Source of the Western Light. The manila country was contributing to the intellectual progress of the world when King Philip II and his men decided to take what was not theirs in the name of Spain and God. The Philippines was better Europe at the time of Columbus: better fed (nourished), better clothed, had a higher standard of living, pioneered in goldsmith artisanship in Asia and in the world (more Ancient than China and more dimensional than Egypt), and perhaps higher average of popular education (Salah Jubair).

    Lakan Dula was a native muslim king of Tundun (a large area covering most of what is now present-day Metro Manila), when the Spanish colonization of the Philippine Islands had begun. He ruled a community of Muslim people who lived north of the Pasig River. Lakan Dula was one of three Muslim chieftains in the Manila during the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors led by Martín de Goiti, and Juan de Salcedo in 1570. Lakan is his official title meaning King and later baptized Lakan Carlos Dula (it was found later by the National Historical Commission that he was not actually baptized and did not changed his name), was the Lakan paramount ruler of the pre-colonial Philippine Kingdom of Tondo when the Spaniards first conquered the lands of the Pasig River delta in the 1570's. His father is Rajah Salalila (Sulayman I) and his mother is Ysmeria Doylly. His beloved wife is Mutya and they are blessed with several children. His grandparents are Dayang (Lady) Kalangitan and Gat (Lord) Lontok and his brother is Rajah Matanda (Sulayman II). Rajah Mura or Muda (Sulayman III) and Lakan Banao Dula led a revolt known as the Sulayman Revolt of 1574 in the villages of Navotas, taking advantage of the confusion brought about by the attacks of Chinese pirate Limahong. This is also often referred to as the "Manila revolt" but is sometimes referred to as the "Sulayman Revolt" and the "Lakan Dula Revolt."

Offsprings of Lakan Dula

    He fathered at least five sons, namely: Batang Dula - only his eldest son Batang is legally allowed to use his surname, by tradition, the rest, they have to adopt other surnames. Lakan Dula has three legal grand children from Batang Dula who was married to Spanish girl from the Goiti family: David Dula y Goiti, Daba Dula y Goiti, Dola Dula y Goiti. He sent them in very far places along sea and river routes protected by relatives because the Spaniards might kill them to make sure that his Kingdom will not have any successor and will not prosper. Don Dionisio Capulong (Datu of Candaba). Don Phelipe Salonga (Datu of Pulu), Magat Salamat (Datu of Tondo), Don Martin Lakandula - who entered the Agustinian order as a lay brother in 1590. He fathered one daughter: Doña Maria Poloin who married Don Alonso Talabos, one of Doña Teodora Alonso's forefathers. According to Carlos Quirino in his Rizal biography "the Great Malayan" mentioned that one of Teodora Alonso's forefathers proudly traced his ancestry to Lakan Banao Dula, then that makes Jose Rizal a descendant.

    Known grandsons from Batang Dula the eldest: David Dula y Goiti (a mestizo) - escaped the persecution of the descendants of Lakan Dula by settling in Isla de Batag, Northern Samar and settled in a place now called Candawid. David later joined the Sumuroy Revolt (1649-1650) and changed his name to David Dulay. He was eventually executed by the Spaniards leaving his family in his plantation. He was imprisoned by Spanish soldiers in Palapag and was executed together with several followers. They were charged of treason with planning to attack the Spanish settlement. Daba Dula y Goiti (a mestizo) - escaped the persecution of the descendants of Lakan Dula was hidden to a place known today as Candaba. Dola Dula y Goiti (a mestizo) - escaped the persecution of the descendants of Lakan Dula was cared in a big farm known today as Candola in San Luis, Pampanga. "Kan" is an ancient Tagalog word which means "owned". There are other grandchildren of Lakan Dula have but we cannot list all of them here, they are so many.

    Lakan Dula wants to see all the descendants of his children. He knows that a lot of them became patriots, but few of them became traitors. Known great-grandson: Juan Macapagal (Datu of Arayat) – Lakan Banao Dula’s name is written in the 1665 document. Wishing to avoid the persecution experienced by his latter ancestors he aided the Spanish authorities in suppressing the 1660 Kapampangan Revolt of Francisco Maniago and the Pangasinan Revolt of Andres Malong and the 1661 Ilocano Revolt. The Ilocano revolt was headed by warrior tribes from Eastern Pangasinan, the Nozuelo and Moreno clans. His prominent descendants of 20th century, namely: Diosdado Macapagal (9th President of the Philippines) – father of Gloria Macapagal –Arroyo (14th President of the Philippines). Jovito Salonga – former Philippine Senate President Gonzalo Puyat - pioneer Filipino industrialist Gil Puyat - former Philippine Senate President Lea Salonga - international stage celebrity. 

    Lakan Dula's sons and nephews were after implicated in the Revolt of the Lakans of 1588, a conspiracy meant to overthrow Spanish that was spearheaded by the former ruling class of the defeated Luzon Empire. His son Magat Salamat was executed by the Spanish authorities while the rest were executed.

    The offsprings from Northern Samar is his grandchild David Dula y Goiti with his descendants are those from the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of: Petre; Rufina; Hilario, the father of Eleuterio Dulay, Sr. of Laoang, Northern Samar - mayor for more than 20 years during the Marcos Regime who died of heart ailment. Councilor Rufo Dula – was the other descendants are those carrying the surname Dula. Offspring from Manila were the two lines claiming the most direct descent from him: Macapagal Clan and de Guzman Clan. Offspring from Laguna from Doña Maria Poloin only daughter of Lakan Dula who married Don Alonso Talabos of the Alonso Clan. Offspring from Mexico: Felipe Salonga (Chief of Polo) - exiled to Mexico and were thus one of the very first Filipinos to settle in there.

What is the English of Lakan Dula?

    Lakan is a pre-hispanic title of the king of Tondo, which is translated as the paramount ruler, or among all the rulers, he is the leader.

    Dula on the other hand is the name of the leader. In the pre - hispanic times, people has only one name which is his first name and surname at the same time. This is the reason why Lakan Dula of Tondo can never be Banao Lacandola of Lubao, Pampanga. Firstly, the latter has first name and surname which means that it is a person that was born long after the Spaniards ruled the country as seen by the fact that it is adopting a Spanish naming system.

    Dula has an English origin. Lakan Dula was born on December 16, 1503 A.D and died on March 21, 1589 A.D. He was the last King of Manila before the kingdom was totally subjugated by the Spaniards and his descendants were forced to do self-exile to escape the bloody Hispanic persecution by settling in far flung areas within the sea and river routes. It was in Lakan Dula's era when Britain and Spain are rivals for world power. Britain's way is to gain the trust of native royalties all over the world by diplomacy or intermarriages and then group these royalties into federation under its leadership. Spain's way is through conquest and subjugation. Lakan Dula's tall and fair appearance came from his great grandfather, Robert d’Ouilli, who has British blood, a Lord of Manor from Oxfordshire who has a blood relation with the French Royal family where Henry Doylly, Lord Constable, circa 1190, with a bloodline of the French Monarchy, in the Norman civil war descended. The birth of Lakan Dula is the early attempt of the British crown to gain the trust of the native Manila aristocracy. It is one of the ways to slowly defeat Spain as the world power of that time. The surname Dula/Dulay therefore came from the British Aristocracy that somehow add color to the pre-Hispanic Kingdom of Manila.

What is the Middle Name of Lakan Dula?

    First of all, Rajah Lakan Dula is wrong. The correct one is Lakan Bunao Dula or simply Lakan Dula. Lakan, according to British historian Henry Scott is the official title, which means "paramount ruler", some sort of "sultan of all sultans". Bunao is the first name, and Dula is the surname. This is the reason why people calling him Rajah Lakan Dula or Lakandula are either ignoramus or have a hidden agenda to steal the identity of Lakan Dula.

When you say middle name, you are implying that Lakan Dula fully embraced the hispanic naming system.

If we look at the list of ancestors of Lakan Dula, you will find the name of her mother is Ysmeria Doylly, and since in the pre-hispanic time the name is also the surname, then, if we apply the present system, the middle name of Lakan Bunao Dula is Doylly.

Who is Prince Batang Dula?

          Batang Dula is the eldest son of Lakan Bunao Dula of the Sultanate of Tanah Amanillah and Tundok. He is the heir apparent to the sultanate, a prince, but the Sultanate was reduced to belligerent level when the Spanish authority secretly launched a massive liquidation order of the native aristocracy who are suspected to be secretly in alliance with the British Royalty, from the bloodline of the Lord of Manor of the Oxfordshire. It was in Lakan Dula's era when Britain and Spain are fighting for world power. Britain's way is to gain the trust of native

Royalties all over the world by diplomacy or intermarriages and then group these royalties into federation under its leadership. Spain's way is through conquest and subjugation. Lakan Dula's tall and fair appearance came from his great grandfather who has British blood, a Lord of Manor from Oxfordshire. Lakan Dula is the early attempt of the British to gain the trust of the native Manila aristocracy. Batang Dula was never touched by the Spanish authority because he was betrothed to the daughter (some historians say, sister), of the founder of Manila, Martin de Goiti. The marriage of Senorita de Goiti and Batang Dula is Spain's way of coopting the Sultanate or Lakanate. When it became apparent that the members of the  native aristocracy are being secretly liquidated, Batang Dula, with the helped of his widely respected and influential Spanish wife  Senority de Goiti whose ancestral house is still standing in the present  Intramuros, initiated the first ever diaspora of the native aristocracy by sending them to the protection of the native settlements along the river and sea routes like Pampanga, Pangasinan, Marikina, Samar, Cebu, Bohol, Butuan, Leyte, Bicol, etc. Some native aristocrat were forced to change into Spanish surnames, some changed to Hispanic native sounding names, some used British or muslim surnames, but those who are close relatives of the sultanate decided to use the surnames that makes them well known in the sultanate like Sumulong (the first one to attack), Agbayani ( the hero), Gatbonton (the caretaker), Capulong (member of the council), Manalo ( always a winner), Calungsod ( from the city), Macapagal (always busy), Magsaysay (story teller), Aglipay (always happy), Kapunan ( the one who always pay the bill), Pangilinan ( was given good amulets), Aguinaldo ( gift), Akonya later Acuna ( who always shoulder problems), Salonga (good in hiding from attacking enemies), Binay (hit by theattackers), Panganiban (very dangerous enemy), Pangalangan (for impossible missions),  etc. The children of Batang Dula where sent to stronghold native settlements. The eldest son, David Dula y de Goiti was sent in a faraway settlement with the Galleon Trade route (to be very safe) and was protected by the Sumuroy clan and the tribe of Datu Iberein in Northern Samar. He was given a large island and coconut plantation which was later called by the natives as Candawid (owned by David in Waray dialect). The second child Daba was entrusted to an uncle in nearby Pampanga. She was given a large farm land which the natives are a calling Candaba (owned by Daba). The youngest and prettier daughter, Dola, was entrusted to a cousin, also in nearby Pampanga, and was given a large farmland which the natives are calling Candola (owned by Dola). Dola was eventually married to a domineering guardia civil surnamed Reyes which made her bloodline appears later to be loyal to the Spanish authorities than to the sultanate. Eventually, the sultanate was reduced to obscurity but the secret struggles and desire of the natives hatched by prince Batang Dula and his Spanish wife, to be freed from the oppressive Spanish regime, was passed on from generation to generation which contributed to the eventual independence of the whole archipelago into the Philippine republic. The same patriotic spirit of the descendants of Lakan Dula and his Sultanate based in Tondo is still manifested up to the present times, in fact, a lot Philippine presidents traced their bloodline on this particular ancient native aristocracy.

Magat Salamat and Batang Dula Join Lakan Malakas

           Back in Manila, Fernando de Tondo tried to convince his (and Lakan Malakas's) brothers, Magat Salamat and Batang Dula to join him in his war against the Muslims. Magat Salamat and Batang Dula had an extensive talk over it. De Tondo even intimidated both. Batang Dula, the eldest son of the Lakan Dula lineage was married to the younger sister of Martin de Goiti, which sealed a pact between Tondo and Spain. Batang Dula chose not to take part, while Magat Salamat decided to join his older brother in Pangasinan. The next day, Batang Dula instructed his Spanish wife to leave the Philippines but their eldest son David Dula y Goiti remained under the care of the tribe of Datu Iberein, because Batang Dula also decided to join Lakan Malakas and Magat Salamat and convert to Islam. Magat Salamat remained a Catholic, and Batang Dula chose to have Magat Abba convert him to Islam. Dula's wife was saddened and angered by Batang Dula's departure. She did not go to Spain but instead, while their ship was on the way to Mexico via Galleon trade route, the mother and son requested to disembark and settle down in a nearby island in the pacific coast of Northern Samar which was later named as Isla de Batang (now Isla de Batag, Laoang, Northern Samar). The mother and son, together with some trusted followers settled in a big coconut plantation which eventually was inherited by David Dula and folks around the area calls it Kan David (owned by David), now, it is called Candawid. Later, Senorita de Goiti urged and encouraged Fernando de Tondo to defeat the Muslim tribes and bring Batang Dula back. In turn, Fernando assured her of this.

Who are the Members of the Principalia Class of the Philippine Society? Those with Native Sounding Surnames.

         As is the case of the Principalia; those who possess surnames from Prehispanic royalty look down on the pure-bred Criollo masses; as a bunch of opportunistic blanco peasants, with no breeding.

        Those who are so proud of their European surnames fail to consider that their ancestors only came to Latin-America or the Philippines to escape from starvation. Even if you brandish your Limpieza de Sangre to the nth level you will never be our equals. If you are Criollo, then you are merely commoners who escaped from your Native land because your fathers were either criminals or starved and poverty stricken oppurtunistas. If you are Mestizo/Mestico and have a foreign surname; then congratulations on being the 9th bastard-son of your rapist father.

           If you are European looking and have a native surname, then congratulations! You belong to the Principalia class and you have royal blood in your native side and that, it was your mother who was European (who is also noble-blooded by all accounts) she was most likely betrothed to your Native father as part of an alliance or political pact.

           And so, to celebrate our inherent Principalia superiority...

           I'm here to post pictures of the Principalia class. Rich; mixed-raced people who have native surnames and are the scions of royalty; they are survivors and have preserved the dynasty through the ages and they're even 10x more attractive than your inbred blanco ass. http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/KEENA-KATIGBAK-MUTYA-NG-LIPA-2011.jpg Keena Katigbak

Hahaha she looks Italian but both her mother's surname and her father's surname are native Filipino. Alumisin? Tupas? Lol those are native family names not European, but she looks European anyway.

           (Xcept Marc Pingris is superior because he's Principalia; David Boreanaz is just a starved Criollo peasant whose clan fled Europe as beggars or criminals.)

          I'm guessing that there are also Latin-American equivalents to the Principalia class. I saw one guy post a rich dude with the surname Montezuma. I think he's a powerful politician.

 http://static.azteca.com/crop/crop.php?width=580&height=&img=http://static.azteca.com/imagenes/2013/39/esteban-1785237.jpg&coordinates=50,50.

          Esteban Moctezuma. From the Aztec Emperor, Moctezuma. Interesting!! They look so much lighter than the average Mexican. Lol. They're not Mexican, they're mostly Filipino. I only gave one example of a Mexican Principalia.  http://static.azteca.com/crop/crop.php?width=580&height=&img=http://static.azteca.com/imagenes/2013/39/esteban-1785237.jpg&coordinates=50,50. Esteban Monctezuma who (I think) claims descent from emperor Monctezuma. I can hardly find any Mexican principalia since Mexico seemed to be swamped either by the Mestizo rape masses or by the Criollo peasant horde. Do you know any more Principalia? (Powerful people with native surnames with descent from Pre-colonial royalty) asides from Monctezuma? [They are often white due to their White mothers]

          We'll. You can obviously see that we're even richer than the Blanco and we have royal blood to boot. Whereas, you're just a bunch of peasants. This is clear proof that the Principalia is inherently superior to the blanco, massa.

           Here's a picture of President Gloria Macapagal having a toast with Juan Carlos the King of Spain.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzUXi8al4jAWUtyeWmlgZVNetl7mVNIkYIcKEGvMvh5Spzq9yLyG5guThRMj5uKqK7dSEuobt1uNhknBD14JLAYc_Qm9WRAnFwVMLtGqoiM21-mZCoT6SWTN1BtGcZXaBR_-YaLiZxU8SF/s320/Gloria_Juancarlos.jpg

           Her family; the Macapagal family are direct descendants of the monarch of the Kingdom of Tondo, Lakan Dula. She has Aztec ancestry through Martin de Goiti's half-Spanish and half Aztec daughter betrothed to Lakan Dula's son; Batang Dula. They were lodged as the Principalia class for most of the Spanish period. And now their dynasty has blosomed again in Gloria's father; Diosdado Macapagal the previous president of the Philippines and in her as the next President. She is already practically a Queen.

             She comes from a royal dynasty older than the Spanish era and once again her clan blossoms as she became the ruler by being President of the Republic.

             Unlike the run-of-the mill Criollo, the Principalia can have a toast with the King of Spain and be considered equals. Belonging to dynasties that are just as old as one another. And she Queen in her own right and by her own royal blood even though she is a President of the Republic.

             Whereas, you will, as always be, a peasant from the merchant class. Which by the way; according to the Hindu Caste system (Which some of us had practiced, Pre-Spain esp. in the Rajahnates of Butuan and Cebu) was the lower class compared to that of the leader class. http://www.zawaj.com/askbilqis/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/caste-system.jpg

             We are Kshatriyas, Meanwhile, you will always be Vaisyas till the end of your life. Oh no. I just did it. I proved that Creoles are inferior to the Principalia. Hahaha I just turned your Casta system upside-down. So much for your much vaunted Europoid racial purity.

              A lot of the people in the OP still look clearly admixed. We'll duh. They're not Criollo (A pure European settler. The commoner peasant horde) they’re principalia, patrilineal descendants of Prehispanic royalty. Their white ancestries are because of their mothers. I'm just outlining the fact that the Criollo masses may think they are richer and are superior with their pure blood but they have to accept that fact that they can only be of the merchant class and that they are secretly jealous of the Principalia which have old dynastic links to Precolonial Kings.

             He could be a Monctezuma but he looks so much lighter than the average Mexican. Yeah I noticed that too. I made this thread here because it's even more pronounced in the Philippines than in Mexico. Everyone with Spanish surnames tend to be dark and Mullato looking while those with the Native surnames; Victor Basa, Marc Pingris or Candris Alumsin-Tupas are the ones who are as white as a feather.
