Their unassuming secretive patriarch of the modern times does
not rule, he reigns privately, the personal leadership style he inherited from
the earlier traditional leaders of the descendancy, a reaction from the centuries
of Spanish persecutions. He might even deny his historical role or point to
somebody else when talking to a non-descendant. Descendants are not supposed point
directly their patriarch, but if needed, they will indirectly identify him as “the
one who has been very active in coordinating them.”

NG MGA BAYANI, KATIPUNERO AT REBOLUSYONARYO on March 13, 2016
"Our new member bro Toti Dulay is a descendant
of Lakan Dula or Lakandula to some...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. 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 can
not 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."
PinoyInEurope says:
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajah_Sulayman –
the ruler of Manila and Tondo, was a Muslim and a scion of the Bolkiah family
that ruled Brunei then and rules it to this day. The grandson of
Lakandula, another of the three rulers of Manila, was David Dula y Goiti, also
known as David Dulay and had a Spanish mother. He was the first mestizo to
revolt against the Spanish."
