In the tomb of
Ceferino Dulay recently found in the secret cemetery of the Our Lady of the
Abandoned at the poblacion of Marikina Valley, this epitaph is written in a
black marble stone: Ceferino Rivas Dulay: the 4th Hereditary Leader of the
Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley". The
tomb has been secretly guarded by the descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo.
Historical records show that Ceferino Dulay is the eldest son who descended
from the eldest son of Lakan Dula of Tondo, the ancient King of Manila. The
bloodline of the succession of the eldest son of the Lakan Dula descendancy
apparently is in Ceferino, who himself is the first-born child. The bloodline
of Lakan Dula of Tondo is carried by prominent Filipinos of the modern times.
To some descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo, Ceferino is their patriarch. He is
the traditional leader of the Lakan Dula Clan, the hereditary head of the
growing Lakan Dula of Tondo bloodline, descendancy and allies. When Ceferino
Dulay died, his eldest son, Sofronio Dulay l, assumed the hereditary leadership
of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley and the descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo
as the 5th Traditional Patriarch. His eldest son, Sofronio Dulay ll, will
eventually be the 6th Traditional Patriarch of the Clan after Sofronio Dulay
l. This succession is based on an
ancient tradition practiced by the lineage of Lakan Dula of Tondo called
"the reign of the lineage of the eldest son". This tradition will
help unify and stabilize the bloodline of Lakan Dula of Tondo from his generation
to the future generation. This will assure the bloodline, descendants and
allies of the presence of a family that will be a unifying and living symbol of
a great genealogy of Lakan Dula of Tondo, the last King of Manila before it was
subjugated by the Spain.
An article in a
highly conservative site of prominent Filipinos mentioned Ceferino Rivas Dulay
in passing. The Tioco family was a very
rich and generous family from Old Tondo. They owned numerous fishing boats in
Tondo and Malabon. Siblings Balbino Tioco and Romana Tioco were illustrious
citizens and famous Tondo benefactors of the 19th century.Balbino’s son
Maximiano was kidnapped in the late 19th century and ransomed for 3 “kaings” of
gold. Maximiano was married to a spanish mestiza Marciana Félix (same Félix
family as Joji Félix Velarde and Conchita Félix wife of Felipe Calderón of the
Malolos Constitution).Maximiano married Teodorica Ylo (The Cabangis family are
also descended from the Ylo’s) They bore 5 children, Nemesio, Salvador, “Beot”,
Guadalupe (married to Don Eduardo Barretto), Consuelo (married to Dr Rufino
Mendoza, son of Don Isabelo Mendoza de Villablanca, a direct descendant of the
spaniard Don Benito Mendoza, first gobernadorcillo of Mariquina in 1787.
Benito’s descendant Juana Mendoza Cerbito married Ceferino Dulay, a patriarch
of the Rajah Lakan Dula/Dulay Clan. Long after the family had left Old Tondo
for the plush villages of Makati and other parts of Manila, there remains Calle
Romana* in honor of Romana Tioco, and Calle Tioco* in honor of Balbino and
Romana, two personages of the same family in gratitude for their inexhaustible
generosity to Tondo (Daluyan, 2010)."
Ceferino Rivas
Dulay is historically known as the 4th generation "eldest son of the
eldest son from all the way back to David Dula y Goiti", the 4th
traditional head of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley serving during his time
and the Patriarch of Lakan Dula Descendants during his time. He was a guerrilla
against the Japanese forces during World War 11 and a loyal “katiwala” of the
Cacho/Tuason who owned and later developed a big portion of the Hacienda
Marikina long after it became the present Marikina City. He was introduced to
the Tuazons and Cachos through President Diosdado Macapagal whom he helped campaigned
and won in Tondo and Laoang, Northern Samar. President Macapagal initially
placed Ceferino in the Manila City Hall. His tomb is a favorite visiting site
of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley which is found in a secret chapel inside a
church cemetery of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Our Lady of the Abandoned
headed by the Auxiliary Bishop of Antipolo Francis de Leon. He started the
settlement of his clan members from Tondo and Samar to Marikina Valley. He is
humble and has helped so many people and died of liver cancer without even
formally claiming by himself the title of the 4th Traditional Leader of the
Clan. His role in the Dulay Clan however was formally recognized by the late
Candawid Barangay Captain Macario Dulay, his youngest uncle, who visited him in
Marikina Valley and turned over to him two 16th century plates that has been
passed on among the leaders of the clan from David Dula y Goiti household.
Another formal recognition about his traditional role in the clan is when Simon
Dulay, Sr., the leader of the Dulay Clan in the Laoang Islands during his time,
initiated the formation of the CDM Foundation, Inc. (Ceferino Dulay Memorial
Foundation, Inc.). Just recently, a group of his descendants set up the
Ceferino Dulay of Marikina Valley and Northern Samar Facebook Group. His
teachings are being practiced secretly among educated members of the Dulay Clan
of Marikina Valley. A portion of his teachings is found in this website
entitled Chapter U: The Descendancy - the Teachings of Ceferino Dulay. The
Gatbonton Clan is one of the earliest clans in the Philippine history which was
able to show their link with the pre-Hispanic native nobility. Their research
is comprehensive and often cited by Filipino historians. One of their clan
members is Fernando Poe. The Gatbonton Clan kept an ancient secret genealogy of
the native Filipino royalty and it specifically mention the Dulay Clan of
Marikina which somewhat triangulated the Daluyan article above, to wit:
Gatbonton link to the Dula Lineage. I am a grandson of
Feliza Gatbonton Corrales-Macam. The Gatbontons are not descendants of Lakan
Dula but rather a direct relative. Gatbonton (mandala) was the administrator of
the rice granary of the kingdom. He was the son of Dayang Lahat, sister of Raja
Sulaiman Sri Lila (salalila) I. His other kin were MONMON, GATCHALIAN,
GATMAITAN, MACARALAGA, GATMAITIM, MANDIC, GATDULA and DUMANDAN. Note, the
Gatdula of today is not in the line of the present day Dula but surely of the
Gatbonton as their Father was Gat Timog. The will says: "GATBONTON married
MACAYABONGDILI (in english: the one with the ladies in waiting), a sister of my
father*. They had five children, namely LOVERA, MACABAT, CAPITANGAN, TAUI and
PAMPALUNG (founder of the Kingdom of Apalit) whom they called MACAPAGAL. The
name could have been used as a cover up to avoid persecution when the Gatbonton
escaped Tondo for Candaba via Rio Grande River. The name was used during his
youth and assumed another before he died. He had also a son named Palong
Gatbonton. From this line comes the line of my great Grandmother Simeona
Gatbonton-Corrales, Martha Gatbonton-Kelly; grandmother of FPJ, Juan Gatbonton,
Liborio Gatbonton, Manolo Gatbonton and Zcarina Gatbonton. Regarding the Gloria
quest to the lakandula thingy..I have an acquaintance whose name was Jeanne
Pascal Tan her mother was a De Lacandola, she was really Spanish looking though
she claims that her roots were from Tondo. okey...it means the surname de
Lacandola really did it exist but it has no proven relation with the Dula
Lineage. Since it does sound similar it created a confusion between the two.
And now the Marcoses also claims that they are the descendants of Lakan Dula,
remember their Maharlika illusion? from the Gutilio side, and so the
Macapagals, by way of attaching their family name here and there. Rumors has it
that the Arroyos are related to the Marcoses...hmmm... parang nga.

Clan in his article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lakandula/Archive_1)
Lakan Dula was the
most prolific of Luzon's ancient rulers. His descendants are spread out all
across the Kapampangan Region during the Spanish colonial era. He fathered at
seven children, namely, Batang Dula, Martin Lakan Dula, Don Dionisio Capulong,
the Datu of Candaba; Don Phelipe Salonga, the Datu of Pulu; Magat Salamat, the
Datu of Tondo, Maria Poloin and Luis Taclocmao (Carating, 2014, p.36). Batang
Dula has three children: David, Daba and Dola. They were hidden in different
places within sea routes and given vast tract of lands, farm workers, and armed
followers. The plantation given to David was named Kandawid, the one given to
Daba was now known as Kandaba and that of Dola is known as Kandola in San Luis
Pampanga.Kan is an ancient tagalog word for owned.
The Romualdezes of Leyte Consider David Dula y Goiti of
Candawid, Laoang Samar as one of their Clan Heroes. Daniel Zialcita Romualdez
(September 11, 1907 – March 22, 1965) was a Filipino politician who served as
Speakerof the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 1957 to 1962. He
was named after his paternal grandfather, Daniel Romualdez, of Pandacan, Manila
and former owner of the Malacañang Gardens, the huge expanse of land dedicated
to entertaining guests of the Philippine presidents. Another namesake is a
first cousin once removed, Daniel Gomez Romualdez, the New York architect and
son of former ambassador and governor Benjamin Trinidad Romualdez (brother of
Imelda Marcos) and that of the son of Froilan Romualdez and Josefina Cerbo
named Daniel Cerbo Romualdez. Daniel "Danieling" Romualdez was born
in Tolosa, Leyte. His father, Miguel, once served as an assemblyman for Leyte
and mayor of the city of Manila.[2] His great-grandfather was involved in the
Sumoroy Revolt but narrowly escaped 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 Roman Catholic rites. Superstitions existed that a Romualdez was to die
that day in Palapag. More than fifty years later, Philippine Supreme Court
Associate Justice Norberto Romuáldez, Danieling's famous uncle and the man who
made their surname distinguished in society, would suddenly die of a heart
attack in Palapag, hometown of his second wife Beatriz, daughter of the parish
priest Fray Salustiano Buz, who insisted on campaigning at the grassroots level
for the Philippine Senate elections when he was almost guaranteed to win on
account of his nationwide reputation. Romualdez enrolled at the University of
Santo Tomas in Sampaloc, Manila. He obtained his law degree in 1931

The Macapagal Descended from a Heroic Granddaughter of Lakan
Dula. Don Juan Macapagal, Datu of Arayat, was the great-grandson of the last
ruling Lakandula (King) of Tondo, Don Carlos.The eldest son of Lakan Dula is
Batang Dula who was married to the relative of the de Goiti, the founder of
Manila. The marriage gave birth to three children, the eldest is David de Goiti
Dula, next is Daba de Goiti Dula and the youngest is Dola de Goiti Dula. Batang
Dula has five brothers and one sister, namely: Martin Lakan Dula, Magat
Salamat, Phelipe Salonga, Don Dionisio Capulong, Luis Taclocmao and Maria
Poloin. The Lacandola of Arayat came from one of the grandchildren of Lakan
Dula of Tondo named Dola, who is from San Luis, Pampanga. When Dola married,
she insisted to use the surname Lacandola for her children to maintain
connection with his grandfather from Tondo and partly, to hide from Spanish
authorities. She has nine children and one of them married a Spanish mestizo
surnamed Reyes. Eventually, the Reyes - Lacandola was married into a Macapagal.
Dola in her old age was jailed by the Spanish authorities on charges of
treating wounded native rebels. She was eventually executed. Her children and
grandchildren reacted to her execution by being friendly to the Spaniards, to
avoid further persecution of their family. Don Juan Macapagal was given the
title Maestre de Campo General of the natives Arayat, Candaba and Apalit for
his aid in suppressing the Kapampangan Revolt of 1660. He further aided the
Spanish crown in suppressing the Pangasinan Revolt of Don Andres Malong in the
same year, and the Ilocano Revolt of 1661. Don Juan Macapagal died in 1683. Don
Juan Macapagal is a direct ancestor of Philippine Revolutionary General, Lazaro
Macapagal and two former Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal and his
daughter, former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

The Duterte are Descendants of Lakan Dula. José Rizal’s
sister Lucia married Mariano Herbosa. The granddaughter, Concepcion Herbosa, in
turn, married the late USPF (University of Southern Philippines Foundation Vice
President and nephew of the founders, Escolastico “Nene” Duterte y Solon
(grandson of the original Escolastico nicknamed “Ticoy”). Escolastico Duterte,
(the first), was a brother of Rodrigo Duterte's great grandfather named Isabelo
Duterte. So Escolastico II (the second), the guy who married the granddaughter
of Lucia Rizal is a 2nd cousin already of Rodrigo's father, Vicente. Rodrigo
Duterte's grandfather named Facundo Duterte is a first cousin of Escolastico II
or Nene's father (still unnamed), a brother of the founders of USPF,Beatriz Duterte-Jereza
and Soledad Duterte-Samson. That’s why Nene or Escolatico II was mentioned as
nephew of the founders, Beatriz and Soledad Duterte. So, if he works against
the desire of the descendancy towards a prosperous nation, the curse could
affect him.
