Sulayman I is the ruler of the united
kingdoms of Manila. He was the kingdom's second to the last indigenous ruler
(Lakan Banao Dula is the last), as the state was absorbed into the Spanish
Empire during the latter's conquest of Luzon and the archipelago. His eldest
son, Lakan Banao Dula was crowned Lakan (paramount ruler) or King of the United
Kingdom when Sulayman I was too sick to function as monarch. Sulayman I is the
grandson of Abdul Bolkiah and the son of Sulayman Bolkiah. Sulayman I however
did not use the surname Bolkiah but instead used the official title Rajah
Soliman Dula l, to mark the new lineage of the united Manila aristocracy
[2][3][4]. The regnal surname Dulay,
later spelled as Dula came from the native ancient alibata direct translation
of Doylly, the surname of the royal blooded British wife of Rajah Sulaiman I
named Ysmeria Doylly, mother of Lakan Dula and Rajah Sulaiman II. In the
ancient alibata alphabet, there is no letter Y so, the alibata translation of
Doylly becomes Dulay, and later became Dula, the current regnal surname of the
Lakan Dula Kingdom of Manila.
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 grand father who has British blood, a Lord of Manor from
Oxfordshire. 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. A not so popular footnote
in the Philippine history is the early attempt of the British Royalty to drive
out the Spaniards from Manila and
reinstall the British – blooded Lakan Dula lineage into the old Manila Kingdom. The British
Royalty assigned a distant relative of Lakan Dula, Thomas Cavendish from the
British Royalty along Oxfordshire, to lead the attack with the backing of the
subjects of the Lakan Dula of the Manila aristocracy. This is now recorded in
the Philippine history as the “Ang Subwatan ng mga Maharlika”.
In 1586, three years before the death of
Lakan Dula of Manila, Queen Elizabeth I of England, sent support to the
Protestant causes in the Netherlands and France, and Sir Francis Drake launched
attacks against Spanish merchants in the Caribbean and the Pacific, along with
a particularly aggressive attack on the port of Cadiz. In 1588, hoping to put a
stop to Elizabeth’s intervention, Philip sent the Spanish Armada to attack
England. Favourable weather, more heavily-armed and manœuverable English ships,
and the fact that the English had been warned by their spies in the Netherlands
and were ready for the attack resulted in defeat for the Armada.
After the death of Lakan Dula in 1589, an
intense drive to erase once and for all the British - blooded Manila native
aristocracy from their Intramuros homeland was launched by the Spanish
authorities after realizing that the Lakan Dula descendants have, afterall,
British lineage and therefore, these descendants might side with the British
forces, in case of a full blown Spanish - British war. The Spaniards were
eventually proven right because the British eventually invaded and occupied
Manila from Spain, from 1762- 1764, far two centuries after the death of Lakan
Dula. In the short - lived British occupation of Manila, the British introduced
the elections as a way of teaching the concept of democracy at the same time,
to ease out local leaders loyal to the Spaniards. The first ever election in
the Philippines was held in Marikina Valley, a stronghold of Lakan Dula
descendants who moved out from the
Intramuros homeland via river routes and where the British are more at home and
have a strong link, according to the former executive director of the National
Historical Institute. Marikina Valley then was part of the Province of Manila,
the Manila proper is the City of the Province of Manila, or simply, City of
Manila.
But as early as 1587, a year before the
Spanish Armada will be defeated by the British,
Magat Salamat, one of the children of Lakan Dula, and Augustin de
Legazpi, Lakan Dula's nephew, and the chieftains of modern Tondo,
Pandacan,Marikina, Candaba, Navotas and Bulacan were executed for secretly
conspiring to revolt against the Spanish settlements. Several decades later,
mestizo by the name of David Dula y Goiti, a grandson of Rajah Lakan Dula with
a Spanish mother escaped the intense persecution of the descendants of Lakan
Dula by settling in Isla de Batag, Northern Samar and settled in the placed now
called Candawid.[4]
More than half a century after the death of
Lakan Dula, his descendants in Northern Samar started the Sumuroy Rebellion of
1649-1650, led by the Waray hero Juan Ponce Sumuroy of Palapag Town. Warays are
known for conspiratorial tendency, suicidal courage and closely knit family
loyalty, which manifested in the fact that most of the inner core of the Sumuroy
Revolt are his blood relatives. One of the trusted coconspirators and relative
of Sumuroy, a son of David Dula y Goiti of nearby Laoang Town, sustained the
Filipino quest for motherland with a greater vigor. Due to his hatred for the
Spaniards; he dropped the name Goiti in his surname and adopted a new name
David Dulay.[5] He was however wounded
in a battle, was captured and later was executed in Palapag, Northern Samar by
the Spaniards together with his seven key lieutenants, one of who was the great
grandfather of current Northern Samar Governor Raul Daza. They were accused of
masterminding several attacks on Spanish detachments. The place where David
came from was named later as Candawid (Kan David or owned by David in Waray dialect)
in Isla De Batag, Laoang, Northern Samar. Some of David's descendants changed
their surnames to Dulay to avoid Spanish prosecutions. Some maintained their
surname Dula, which up to these days is the source of minor internal frictions
among some descendants of David Dula y Goiti in Laoang, Northern Samar accusing
each side as "sigbinan", a native Waray folklore which originated in
Isla de Batag, which connotes "a family secretly keeping bear-like
creatures", which are being fed with all kinds of meat, sometimes,
including human flesh of dead Spanish Guardia Civil. Several famous Northern
Samarenos are tracing their ancestry among the seven co conspirators executed
with David Dula y Goiti in Palapag, Northern Samar.
Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley Descendant's
House at Isabelo Mendoza St. near the Our Lady of the Abandoned Shrine
The Spanish
persecutions of the descendants of Lakan Dula continued and intensified, but a
lot of descendants maintained their native surnames like lakandula, dula,
dulay, gatdula, dulayan, abdullah, rebadulla, dulatre, duldulao, dulayba,
lakandola, lacandalo, lacandola, lacandula, dula - torre and many others
revolving around the root word “dula”. During the intense persecution of the
Spaniards on the native aristocracy, some descendants have to disregard the
“dula” root word and adopted totally different native sounding surnames for
disguise, like magsaysay, lontoc, agbayani, acuna, salonga, gatchalian, bacani,
macapagal, guingona, gatpandan, pangilinan, sumuroy, dagohoy, kalaw, salalima,
soliman, pilapil, mabini, pagdanganan, macalintal, angara, bamba, datumanong, panganiban, katigbak, macarambon, sakay,
aglipay, kasilag, salamat, karingal, kiram, daza, lacanilao, lacanlale,
gatchalian, manalo, lagumbay, tamano,
ilagan, bunye, pangandaman, maliksi, silang, badoy, puno, lapid, ziga, nalupta,
binay, gatbonton, sinsuat, capulong, puyat, gatmaitan, macuja, dagami, ablan,
capinpin, punongbayan, madlangbayan, gatlabayan, batungbakal, cabangbang,
sumulong, gustilio, calungsod, capangoy, kapunan, etc, but continued fighting
for the liberation of the natives from
Spain. Some of the descendents hid their Lakan Dula heritage by changing their
names into the likes of guevara, aguinaldo, legaspi, aquino, mendoza, osmena,
de Leon, estanislao, laurel, fernando, ejercito, delapaz, mercado, santos,
bonifacio, de guzman, etc, while some adopted chinese surnames of their mother
like lim, uy, go, tan, etc, but they continued to pursue a belligerant posture
against Spain. There are however few who were forced to collaborate with the
Spanish authority. Wishing to avoid the persecution experienced by his latter
ancestors, Lakan Dula's great grandson Juan Macapagal, for instance, aided the
Spanish authorities in suppressing the 1660 Kapampangan revolt of Francisco
Maniago, and the Pangasinan revolt of Andrés Malong, and the 1661 Ilocano
revolt. To some natives, this is an act of treason against their cause, but
some leaders understand this as a heroism to save the future descendants of
Lakan Dula.
Daniel Romualdez, former Speaker of the
Philippine Congress was born in Tolosa, Leyte. His father, Miguel, once served
as an Assemblyman for Leyte and Mayor of the City of Manila.[1] His great
grandfather, a relative of Sumuroy, was involved in the Sumoroy Revolt but
narrowly escaped the Spanish execution when he was allowed by David Dulay to
visit his ailing mother. Dulay and his seven trusted men were later executed in
Palapag, Northern Samar and were buried in unmarked graves without the Roman
Catholic rites.[1]. Romualdez enrolled at the University of the Philippines
College of Law and obtained his law degree in 1931.
The current David
Dulay descendants are the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of
the late Hilario and Eleuterio Dulay, Sr. of Laoang, N. Samar, and a mayor for
more than 20 years during the Marcos Regime.
The other descendants are those carrying the surname Dula related to
Councilor Rufo Dula. Former Northern Samar Governor Madeilyn Mendoza Ong is
also a descendant, from the lineage of Rufina Dulay of Candawid, Isla de Batag,
Laoang, Northern Samar. Petre Dulay is the eldest brother of Rufina. Petre's
eldest son, Doroteo; and Doroteo's eldest son, Elpidio - remained in Samar.
Ceferino Dulay, Elpidio's eldest son, settled back to their ancestral homeland
in Tondo, and eventually, settled in Marikina valley.
The present
hereditary head of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley is the eldest son of
Ceferino, Sofronio Dulay l. He will be succeeded by his eldest son, Sofronio
Dulay ll. Sofronio ll is a law student of the University of the Philippines, a
member of the Upsilon Sigma Phi, an SK Kagawad in the poblacion, was an honor
student of an exclusive boy school, Marist, in Marikina Heights; a varsity
player in basketball; a member of San Roque Inter Barangay and Batang Lambak
Tytuz Basketball Team ; and a Sacristan with a position of Superior in the
Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned headed by Bishop Francis de Leon, the
Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Antipolo. UST Alumni and Asian Studies
Professor Anne Majadas Sopoco, a former chairman of FEU Faculty Union has this
to say in her post in Facebook: "I am honored Sir Toti (Sofronio Dulay l)
to meet and become your friend, knowing that you came from the great Lakan Dula
clan. Mabuhay ang lahing Pilipino."
Brother Blas Dula Lagrimas of the Dula lineage
among the present descendants of David Dulay and a graduating student for
priesthood, visited the ancestral house
of the hereditary leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley. They discussed
over dinner the historical circumstances over Dula, Dulay of Isla de Batag,
Dulay of Laoang town poblacion and Dulay of Marikina Valley. From the
historical accounts of the old folks of the clan, notably, the late Candawid
Barangay Captain Macario Dulay; David Dulay is a wealthy Tagalog with several
wives and children. The children from the first wife carry the surname Dulay to
hide them from the Spanish persecutions. The children from the second wife used
the surname Dula to reconnect to their Lakan Dula heritage. The children from
his other wives used the surnames of their mothers.
Some younger children from the first wife
settled in Laoang and made good in arrastre business and another younger
brother joined a Spanish shipping crew to Manila and fell in love with a pretty native from what is now known as
Samara in Aringay from the north where they later settled, but their eldest
brother remained in Candawid running the coconut plantation with uninterrupted
lineage of his first born descendants down to the generation of Petre and
Elpidio, until Ceferino who surprisingly decided to go back to their ancestral
homeland in Tondo and raised a big family. Later in his life, he uprooted his
family in Tondo and together with some relatives, settled in Marikina Valley.
They are now known as the Angkan ng Dulay dito sa Lambak ng Marikina.
The Dulay Clan of
Marikina Valley is important to the unity of the lineage of David Dula y Goiti
because its hereditary leader up to the present is the uninterrupted lineage of
the "eldest son of the eldest son" of the Dulay Clan dating back from
Petre Dulay of Candawid, Isla de Batag, Northern Samar. The Isla de Batag,
where David Dula y Goiti raised his family, is a tropical paradise facing the
Pacific Ocean, and where a lighthouse guiding the ships cruising the Pacific
Ocean can still be found up to now. The home of the Sigben legend, Isla de
Batag is in the direct route of Galleon Trade from Manila to Mexico. It is
beside Palapag, the ship repair port during the Galleon Trade, and Catubig, the
former capital of Samar. Today, Fr. Potenciano Dulay, a scholar of the Knights
of Columbus, is the Parish Priest of
Palapag.
Don Isabelo Mendoza,
one of the earliest Mayor of Marikina. He is from the lineage of Don Benito
Mendoza, the first governadorcillo of Marikina. Ceferino Rivas Dulay, a
patriarch of the Dulay Clan was married to Juana Mendoza Cerbito. The street
where the Dulay Decendants House was later found was renamed from Callejon to
Isabelo Mendoza. The remain of Ceferino Rivas Dulay was found in the upper
chapel inside the secretive cemetery within the compound of Our Lady of the
Abandoned Shrine in the poblacion of Marikina City, few houses from the Dulay
Clan descendants house. The shrine, which was canonized through an order of the
Pope from Rome, is the home base of the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdioceses of
Antipolo, at present Bishop Francis de Leon, DD.
