The Kaharian ng Tondo of the present – day Philippines is
one of the oldest monarchies in the world. Japan's Yamato dynasty traces its
origins back to 660, making it the oldest continuous hereditary monarchy in the
world. The 79-year-old Emperor Akihito has reigned since 1989 and is, according
to legend, the 125th emperor in his line, though there's some debate as to the
exact count of emperors. Based on the Laguna Copperplate, the Kingdom of Tondo
existed earlier than 900, maybe a century younger than the Yamato Dynasty of
Japan. The 10 latest monarchs of the Kingdom of Tondo are the following Lakans:
Lakan Timamanukum, Rajah Alon, Sultan Amir Ul-Ombra, Sultan Sulaiman, Rajah
Gambang, Sultan Bolkiah, Rajah Lontok, Rajah Sulaiman Bolkiah I, Lakan Bunao
Dula, and Batang Dula (did not claim the throne due to intense Spanish
persecution of the native nobilities).
The civilization of the Philippines started in the Pacific
Ocean. In January 2018 it was announced that modern human finds at Misliya
cave, Israel, in 2002, had been dated to around 185,000 years ago, the earliest
evidence of their out of Africa migration. The earliest H. sapiens (AMH) found
in Europe are the "Cro-Magnon" (named after the site of first
discovery in France), beginning about 40,000 to 35,000 years ago. At around the
same time, the human beings already existed in the Philippine archipelago as evidence
by the Tabon and Callao men. Filipino archaeologist Anna Valmero believes that
the 67,000 years old Callao man discovered in a Philippine cave near Pacific
Ocean could be oldest human in Asia Pacific. Since life started in the ocean,
it is logical that the human being in the Philippines are even earlier than the
human beings of Europe and have started some contacts with the human beings in
Israel. Modern scientists have confirmed that the Philippines is the global
epicenter of marine biodiversity in the planet, in a symposium “Scientific
Discovery and the Urgent Need for Conservation at the Philippine Epicenter of
Marine Biodiversity”. The scientists, in a You Tube presentation, call the
country the Center of Center of The World.
Some historians, like Agoncillo of the Philippines, believe
that Filipinos are descendants of Tarshish, one of Noah’s great grandsons, who
settled in the Philippines after the great flood. Tarshish started the
settlement that the natives still call today even today as the “Araw City”
which was named eventually as Samar in the present dimension. Samaritans are
people with Jewish blood but are not strictly practicing Jewish rituals. This
historical fact is now unfolding after a group of scientists discovered that
the Tagalog dialect actually came from the Waray dialect of Samar, as proven by
the Calatagan Burial Jar, which indicates that the earliest civilization in the
Philippines might have started in some part of Northern Samar facing the
Pacific Ocean where the earliest biological living form from the ocean in the
tropics to the land area might have gestated and evolved into human form after
millions of years of biological gestation
The Lawang – Catubig – Palapag area is an ideal vegetation in the
geography of an ocean, a sea, a bay, a big river, groups of islands, etc -- the topography is a complete package of
fertile terrain. The earliest men of Israel and the Philippines might have been
already in contact long before men in Europe emerged.
Tagalog (pronounced təˈɡɑːlɒɡ in English) is an Austronesian
language spoken as a first language by a third of the population of the
Philippines and as a second language by most of the rest. It is the first
language of the Philippine region IV (CALABARZON and MIMAROPA) and of Metro Manila.
Its standardized form, commonly called Filipino, is the national language and
one of two official languages of the Philippines. It is related to-though not
readily intelligible with-other Austronesian languages such as Malay, Javanese,
and Hawaiian. The word Tagalog derived from tagailog, from tagá- meaning
"native of" and ílog meaning "river". Thus, it means
"river dweller". Very little is known about the history of the
language. However, according to linguists such as Dr. David Zorc and Dr. Robert
Blust, the Tagalogs originated, along with their Central Philippine cousins,
from Northeastern Mindanao or Eastern Visayas. The first written record of
Tagalog is in the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, written in the year 900 and
uses fragments of the language along with Sanskrit, Malay, and Javanese.
Meanwhile, the first known book to be written in Tagalog is the Doctrina
Cristiana (Christian Doctrine) of 1593. It was written in Spanish and two
versions of Tagalog; one written in the Baybayin script and the other in the
Latin alphabet.
This proof was corroborated in an article entitled:
"The mystery of the ancient inscription" by Rolando Borrinaga
published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. The article talks about the
historically famous "Calatagan Pot" which is a burial jar of the
Ancient Tagalogs whose seat is in the Kingdom of Tondo. The burial pot which
dates back from 12th to 15th century has mysterious markings which for so many
years’ historians and linguists have not found a comprehensible interpretation.
The historians found out that the pot is used in ancient rituals of sending a
dead person's soul to the next life. They used lot of methods to decipher the
message in the pot but still they cannot connect the burial rituals and the
messages, until they used the present Waray dialect of people from the
hinterland of Samar. The ancient messages became very clear. If you go to the
Isla de Batag and Laoang Islands in Northern Samar even today, you can still
hear natives speaking some Hebrew words not found in any part of Samar or in
Tagalog Region. For instance, they have a word "sibul" for a part of
a dwelling place. In Hebrew is "zebool" or dwelling or residence.
They have words like "asaya", or eat the fish without rice which must
have come from Hebrew word "Asayah" or Yah has made. They also have a
term "bug - at" which means heavy, which might have come from the
Hebrew word "baw-at" which means to trample down.
Incidentally, Northern Samar is also the gateway to Manila,
being the first Philippine island you will see after long years of travel in
the Pacific Ocean. That was the reason why a lighthouse was built in Isla de
Batang (Batag) and the Spanish government chose the existing ancient native
shipping industry in Palapag Island to be the repair station of the Galleon
Trade and where the revolt of Lakan Dula descendants, Sumuroy Revolt, also
started. The antiquity of the area was scientifically proven with a research on
ancient chicken DNA which shows that the Philippines could be the ancestral
homeland of the Polynesians, whose forebears colonized the Pacific about 3,200
years ago, the University of Adelaide said recently. An international team of
researchers led by Alan Cooper, director of the Australian Center for Ancient
DNA (ACAD), at the University of Adelaide used the ancient DNA to study the
origins and dispersal of ancestral Polynesian chickens, reconstructing the
early migrations of people and the animals they carried with them. They found
that Polynesian chickens had their roots in the Philippines, making that region
a candidate for the homeland of the mysterious Lapita people thought to be
ancestral to Polynesians who transported the domesticated birds to the Pacific
islands. “We have identified genetic signatures of the original Polynesian chickens,
and used these to track early movements and trading patterns across the
Pacific," said lead author Dr. Vicki Thomson of ACAD. "We were also
able to trace the origins of these lineages back into the Philippines,
providing clues about the source of the original Polynesian chicken
populations." 7 There is a scientific theory that the peoples of Polynesia
and the rest of Australasia (New Zealand/Australia/Papua New Guineau) including
Samoa, Hawaii and likewise as far east as Easter Island and Indonesia and as
far west as Madagascar island originated from the Philippines. Our ancestors if
the theory is to be believed were highly skilled sea voyagers who predated the
Chinese and the Europeans in circumnavigating the globe. Proof of this theory
is that the species of chicken in the Philippines is the same as that of
chickens in Polynesia and the other islands. Aside from this, the Philippine
carabao species is found in Madagascar but not in the African Continent. Plus
Philippine mango varieties can be found as well in Madagascar. Additional
evidence is the discovery of huge balangays or ancient boats in Butuan, just
across Samar Island that could carry up to sixty people at one time. This could
point to an ancient civilization among Polynesian people roaming around the
islands in the Pacific, flourished in a fertile vegetation of Catubig- Laoang
–Palapag of Northern Samar facing the Pacific Ocean, scattered outward in
different island in the pacific rim and inward into the Philippine archipelago that eventually bloomed into the Kingdom of
Tondo, a confederation of native local
chieftains from different parts of the archipelago, with the Lakans of Tondo as their paramount
rulers.
Lakan Bunao Dula is the King of Tondo which kingdom extends to Ilocos Region in Luzon and
Northern Samar in the Visayas. He has a recorded seven children. The eldest son
and heir apparent is Batang Dula, then Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong,
Phelipe Salonga, Luis Taclocmao, Maria Poloin and Martin Lakan Dula. It is a
historical mystery why only the eldest and youngest of the children had been
anointed to use the regnal surname Dula. As a paramaount ruler, Lakan Bunao
Dula has historical close and loyal
allies from among the native chieftains in most part of the Visayas and
Mindanao, one of them is the ancient tribe of Datu Iberein of Lawang, Northern
Samar.. Many names such as Samar, Samal,
Ibabao, Tandaya were given to Samar Island prior to the coming of the Spaniards
in 1596. An unknown community writer from Las Navas town said in jest that the
name "Samar" was derived from the local language samad, meaning
"wound" or "cut", out of a joke. Recent scholars however
connect the name Samar to the ancient city of Samaria, the capital of the
northern Kingdom of Israel. The early Datu of Samar, Datu Iberein of Lawang
Town, in the northern part of the island may have a Samaritan lineage. This
explains the presence of spotty Hebrew sounding words in the present Lawang
dialect and why the Sephardi Jews settled in Northern Samar on later years and
in line with the recent findings of the Jewish scholars that the territory of
Datu Iberein which reigns extends to Surigao, Butuan and Mactan, could be the
center of the the biblical Ophir which is now known in the books as the present
Philippines, or in native folklore as Araw City. Datu Iberein may have the
influence in officially naming the island as Samar, in honor of his homeland
Samaria. Samar Island was also named by the Spaniards as the original
Filipinas, which was extended eventually to pertain to the whole Philippine
archipelago. The influence of Datu Iberein is based on the fact that his
territorial base covers the prosperous and historical ancient Catubig-Laoang-
Palapag topography. Catubig was the Capital of the whole Samar Island, Palapag
is the home of the ancient shipping industry which was later to become the
shipping repair station of the Galleon Trade before it was moved to Cavite and
is also known historically as the home of the Sumuroy Revolt; and Laoang is the
seat of the power of the tribe of Datu Iberein which is a stronghold and
gateway from the Pacific of the Kingdom of Tondo headed by a dynasty of Lakans,
or "paramount rulers" of all native chieftains of what is now known
as the Philippine archipelago. Recent diggings in a place called Sawang ( part
of Lawang) of ancient jewelries, plates and martabana (ancient burial jar)
points to the legendary prosperity and influence of the tribe of Datu Iberein
which was the reason why the eldest son of Batang Dula was put in their care
because the Spaniards may have to contend with the force of the tribe. Quite
incidentally, the Araw City and Sigbin legends of the native Warays (the native
of Samar and Leyte) of today are also pointing in the direction of the prosperous
topography of the Catubig-Lawang-Palapag naval grid. Some natives of Samar
believes that Ophir and Araw City are one and the same? The Samaritans or Jewish - blooded people who
are not faithful to strict Jewish rituals, are the indigenous inhabitants of
the Philippines. The Aeta are not the indigenous natives of the Philippine
archipelago since they came from Borneo.
In a book found in Spain entitled Collecion General de Documentos
Relativos a las Islas Filipinas, the author has described how to locate Ophir.
According to the section "Document No. 98", dated 1519-1522, Ophir
can be found by travelling from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, to India, to
Burma, to Sumatra, to Moluccas, to Borneo, to Sulu, to China, then finally
Ophir. Ophir was said to be "[...] in front of China towards the sea, of
many islands where the Moluccans, Chinese, and Lequios met to trade..."
Jes Tirol asserts that this group of islands could not be Japan because the
Moluccans did not get there, nor Taiwan, since it is not composed of "many
islands." Only the present-day Philippines, he says, could fit the
description. Spanish records also mention the presence of Lequious (big,
bearded white men, probably descendants of the Phoenicians, whose ships were
always laden with gold and silver) in the Islands to gather gold and silver.
[9] Other evidence has also been pointed out suggesting that the Philippines is
the biblical Ophir. Copy of Solomon's Gold Series - Part 7: Track of the Hebrew
to the Philippines shows why the Philippines is the Ophir.
Another proof that an ancient civilization within the
pacific rim from Cagayan Valley in Luzon to Surigao Island in Mindanao, with
Samar as the center of Polynesian civilization, might have existed as the
Callao man 67,000 years ago and his tribe might have prospered into Biblical
proportion, is the Surigao treasure which is estimated, based on carbon dating,
to be as early as 10th century, around the time of the Laguna Copperplate of the Kingdom of Tondo.
The seat of the kingdom might have moved from Lawang to Tondo as the ancient
settlement and migration pattern in the Pacific Rim – based civilization moved
inward to Mactan and into the present Manila. The settlement of Tondo prospered
as it made contact with ancient China, India and the Asian Muslim and the big
part of Luzon, and much later, the Spain
and England, overtaking in terms of progress the ancestral Biblical
civilization in the Pacific Rim where the Tagalog dialect came from. However,
the contact between the biblical ancient tribes in the pacific based in Samar
and the emerging Lakanate of Tondo has continued even to the present day.
There are plenty of attempts the Kingdom of Tondo has done
to drive away foreign invaders. One of them is the Sumuroy Revolt lead by Juan
Sumoroy of Palapag, assisted by David Dulay of Lawang, both of Northern Samar.
The revolt spread in nearby provinces. The male relatives of Sumuroy and Dulay
were systematically being forced to work in the shipyard of Cavite when the
Palapag shipyard was transferred to Cavite. Then the Cavite mutiny of 1872
happened -- it was an uprising of Filipino shipping workers of Fort San Felipe,
the Spanish arsenal in Cavite, Philippine Islands (then also known as part of
the Spanish East Indies) on January 20, 1872. Around 200 locally recruited
colonial troops and ship repair workers rose up in the belief that it would
elevate to a national uprising. The mutiny was unsuccessful, and government
soldiers executed many of the participants and began to crack down on a
burgeoning Philippines nationalist movement. Many scholars believe that the
Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was the beginning of Filipino nationalism that would
eventually lead to the Philippine Revolution of 1896. Eventually, national
independence was declared in Cavite. The legend has it that the victories of
the troops of Gen. Aguinaldo against the Spaniards from one town after another
are attributed to the soldiers with bloodline from Araw City/Ophir of Samar
Islands which has the skills to be invisible when doing some attacks. This was
also the experience of the American soldiers who were defeated by the natives
of Samar in Balangiga – they simply did not see the enemies coming. And when
the American soldiers burned Samar as retaliation, they only see few natives,
presumably, these natives were hidden by Araw City/Ophir.
At present, the descendants of Lakan Dula keep the key to
the Sumpa ni Lakan Dula which have seen the jailing of three Philippine
Presidents: Ferdinand Marcos, Joseph Estrada, Gloria Arroyo. And, probably, of
Noynoy Aquino, soonest.
When the 4th hereditary leader of the Dulay Mendoza Clan of
Marikina Valley, Ceferino Rivas Dulay died, a group of Lakan Dula descendants
of Lawang lead by Simon Dulay, Sr., a brother of undefeated Lawang Mayor Eleuterio
Dulay, initiated the formation of the Ceferino Dulay Memorial Foundation (CDM
Foundation), to unite the descendants and restore the grandeur of the Kingdom
of Tondo. The eldest son of Ceferino was anointed President of the foundation
being the 5th hereditary leader of the clan. The CDM Foundation has closely
worked with other Lakan Dula descendants and sustained the clan rituals and
traditions like the “Dine with the Ancestors Ritual.” It also supported the
advocacy for ancient Filipino alphabet, Baybayin, being championed by Pastor
Jay Enage. It is noticeable that the Dulays are involve in the two other
ancient national art forms, like Samuel Bambit Dulay is the main advocate of
the Arnis, the ancient Filipino martial arts; and Lang Dulay was the main
advocate of the ancient tinalak weaving.
Recently, the TV programs I – Juander and I – Witness visited the House of
Dulay Mendoza of Marikina Valley and interviewed the 5th hereditary leader of
the clan about the Kingdom of Tondo. In matter of months, the I – Witness
interview had already a million views in You Tube.
Recently, the foundation participated in the awarding of
medals to selected Arnis Guru coming from different parts of the World. The
highest award given to blackbelters of ancient Filipino martial arts, arnis, is
the Lakan Bunao Dula Medal. The awardng ceremony was done at the Luneta Park
with Prof. Toti Dulay, a descendant of Lakan Dula giving the inspirational
message and the awarding of medals. The following Arnis Grand Masters were the
awardees: Samuel Bambit Dulay (a descendant of Lakan Dula), Rene Tongson, Max
M. Pallen, Generoso Martinada, Jr. Dieter Knuettel, Juerg Ziegler, Bram Frank,
Brian Zawilinski, Peachie B. Saguin; Tomi Harell, Paulo O.Motita ll, Romeo
Ballares, Edward Kwan and Jason Bassels. Later in the evening, Prof. Dulay
presided over the "Dine with the Ancestors Ritual" among the awardees
and special guests. The ritual is historically done exclusively among the
living descendants of Lakan Dula who visited the Dulay Mendoza House in
Marikina Valley but it broke a tradition for the first time when the ritual was
done among the world reknown arnis advocates and grand masters of the ancient
Filipino martial arts -- done in an undisclosed historical restaurant among
arnis guru somewhere near the ancient Kingdom of Tondo in the City of Manila.
Funding of the projects of the CDM Foundation came from the private businessmen
with native sounding names like the Buhains of the Rex Bookstore, the Kapunans
(Lopez) of the Lopez Group of Companies, descendants of Lakan Dula plus many
others who might have been blood related to the native nobility. The foundation
also manages several websites and Facebook groups all related to the Kingdom of
Tondo and its last king, Lakan Dula.
Some Confusions Among the Descendants of Lakan Dula as shown in the Discussion page of Wikipedia on the Lakan Dula article.
It is proper that
the article on Wikipedia about Lakan Dula of Tondo respects the formal way of
naming a royal, which is title, first name and then surname. The title is Lakan
, which according to Scott stands for "paramount ruler", the first
name is Bunao, and the surname is Dula. So, by logic and common usage, the
title of this article should be Lakan Bunao Dula of Tondo. Any deviations from
this normal way is a suspect of being a paid hack for a family that has for so
long been attempting to change the name so that it will be nearer to their
surname and therefore easier for them to claim lineage to Lakan Bunao Dula.
Apparently, the Wikipedia article is dominated by paid hacks (Wikipedia allows
editing from the public) who wants to dilute the official name of Lakan Bunao
Dula of Tondo into Don Carlos Lacandola
of Arayat, two different persons.
The next article
is an archived talk page of the said Don Carlos Lacandola of Arayat Wikipedia
article which is up to now is still active.
Rajah versus Lakandula
Lakandula, like
the word rajah, is a TITLE of nobility. It is not a personal name. Various
scholars on Philippine history keep pointing this out. Lakandula is the
hereditary title of the rulers of Tondo who, unlike the rulers of Manila, were
not Muslims. Tondo was politically distinct and autonomous from Manila in the
16th century. Unlike the rulers of Manila who were heavily influenced by
Brunei, the rulers of Tondo retained their indigenous titles and did not call
themselves "rajahs". The two words, "rajah" and
"lakandula" simply negate each other. Please check your sources.
Thank you. Ushiwaka (talk) 16:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I agree. Rajah and
Lakan are both titles. So, Rajah Lakan Dula is an oxymoron. It is just like Don
Mister Lopez or Miss Binibining Gloria. Either you call it Rajah Dula or Lakan
Dula or Gat Dula but never Rajah Lakan Dula. Please show some respect to the

Strongly support. As per Nick Joaquin's Manila,My Manila,
the rulers of Tondo specifically did not use the term "Rajah" (as opposed
to the rulers of Maynila, who did). Also, the term Rajah Lakandula was not
used, as far as I've seen, in the original 16th century sources as quoted by
Scott and Dery. Whereas there is an argument (IMHO a weak one) for separating
the articles for Lakandula an Banaw Lakandula, Rajah Lakan Dula simply should
not exist. I am going to wp:be bold now and do what I can to merge the two. -

Lakan Dula of Tondo versus Lacandola of Lubao: Who is
Real,Who is Reel?
Based on "Lacandola of Lubao"
unique article, it is strongly possible that Lakan Dula of Tondo and Lacandola
of Lubao are totally different persons. First proof: Philippine history would
say that Lakan Dula of Tondo is a Muslim, while the "Lacandola of Lubao"
unique article said that this guy Lacandola is a pagan, big difference. Second
proof: Lakan Dula of Tondo is a fighter to the end, he is even referred to as
Gat Dula, etc. This Lacandola of Lubao is a Spanish collaborator, according to
its own article, and to be branded as a traitor is something that the
legitimate descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo will not accept without a fight,
so, they will not identify with that dude Lacandola, whoever he is.Third proof:
take note of the differences in the spelling: Lakan Dula is with "k"
and "u".Lacandola is with "c" and "o". Fourth
proof: the Spanish alphabet doesnt have letter "K" but alibata has,
so, Lakan Dula is native.On the other hand, Lacandola uses "c" which
is hispanic, so, they could be referring on two totally different persons in a
very different time span. Fifth proof, Lakan Dula is consistent with the pre
hispanic history of name system: official title (Lakan) and single name (Dula),
and they are separated,like Datu Sumakwel is not spelled as Datusumakwel. We
dont have surnames during the pre-hispanic era. The Lacandola guy is saying
that that Lacandola is already its full name, without any title. All in all, we
suggest that let the historical Lakan Dula of Tondo flourish and let that
certain Lacandola dude of Lubao exists too, for whatever purpose it may
serve.If its a fiction, then, let it be.But let us be clear that they are
totally differrent and there is no point of linking them.However,if the article
would say that Lacandola is only an adopted name because the person is a
descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo, and they are afraid of hispanic prosecution,
as lots of Filipions were, according to our history that is why they hid his
identity, then, thats sound more logical and historical too. But the article is
not saying so. So, it is really probable that this is a case of wrong
attributions to two totally different subjects. —Preceding unsigned comment

Gatbontons link to the Dulas...
I am a grandson of
Feliza Gatbonton Corrales-Macam. The Gatbontons are not descendants of Lakan
Dulas 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
Gatdulas of today is not in the line of the present day Dulas. But surely of
the Gatbontons 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 Gatbontons 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 Dulas.
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. — Preceding unsigned comment

The solution to these confusions:
Apparently, the
Macapagal Arroyo family of Lubao, Pampanga needs to be precise on their claim
of ancestry with Lakan Bunao Dula of the Kingdom of Manila. Their claim lies on
one of the surnames their grandmother which is Lacandola, whose daughter
married a Reyes, and whose daughter, married a Macapagal. That grandmother who
has a surname Lacandola can not be a daughter of Lakan Bunao Dula of Tondo,
because it is a historical fact that Lakan Dula has only one daughter, and that
is Maria Poloin. What if that Lacandola is not actually a grandmother but a
grandfather? Can be, yes. But Lakan Bunao Dula of Tondo has no son with a
surname Lacandola. The children of Lakan Dula of Tondo are: Batang Dula, Magat
Salamat, Phelipe Salonga, Dionisio Capulong, Maria Poloin, Luis Taclocmao, and
Martin Lakan Dula. No children of Lakan Dula of Tondo has a surname Lacandola.
The initial strategy of the paid hacks of the Macapagal family to claim their
ancestry from Lakan Dula is to maneuver the
changing of the name of Lakan
Bunao Dula of Tondo (title, first name, last name) to single word Lakandula and maybe later to
Lacandola. They did that.When the Gloria Arroyo was the president, she
initiated the Lakandula Award. Take note that it is incorrect because it should
had been Lakan Dula Award. Then they are maneuvering to dilute historical records by saying the
Lakan Bunao Dula of Tondo few months before he died was later called Don Carlos Lacandola. It was a long shot and
it does not matter. Bacause the fact still shows that no children of Lakan Dula
of Tondo was surnamed Lacandola. So, from which children of Lakan Dula did they
come from?
What they failed
to recognized that in order to trace their lineage with Lakan Dula, they should
do it though one of his children, namely: Batang Dula, Magat Salamat, Dionisio
Capulong, Felipe Salonga, Martin Lakan Dula, and Maria Poloin. Magat Salamat died early as
martyr. It is not yet clear if he has children before he died. Definitely
Martin Lakan Dula lineage stopped
because he joined and died as a priest, so , he has no children. The best bet
of the Macapagal Arroyo is to trace their roots from any among Batang Dula,
Dionisio Capulong, Felipe Salonga and
Maria Poloin.
What they have not
explored thoroughly is the lineage of Batang Dula who has three children: David
Goiti Dula, Daba Goiti Dula and Dola Goiti Dula and where hidden among his
relatives in places presently known as Candawid, Candaba and Candola respectively, Kan is an ancient Tagalog word
for "owned". Apparently, these three children where given with tracts
of land and plantations protected by armed relatives. Dola Goiti Dula, the
youngest daughter was given a big tract of farmland in what is now known as
Candola in San Luis, Pampanga who later decided to use the surname Lacandola
for her children, to hide them from the intense Spanish persecution of the
native aristocracy. If the Macapagal Arroyo family can only prove through their
family history that they descended from that granddaughter of Lakan Dula in San
Luis, whose descendants adopted a surname Lacandola and settled in Lubao,
Pampanga, then, it could have been historically probable that their Macapagal
Arroyo family descended from Lakan Dula. But their family history is not saying this. They are
so fixated with diluting the name of Lakan Bunao Dula of Tondo to Lacandola
forgetting that to claim lineage from Lakan Dula, it must be done through his
children and Lakan Dula has no children with a surname Lacandola. Maybe they
need to research some more. What they can do is to trace the ancestors of their
grand mother which has a Lacondola surname, find if she is actually Dola Goiti
Dula, the sister of Daba Goiti Dula whose children were also hidden from
Spanish persecution by adopting the surname Capulong. The Macapagal Arroyo family should see if
their root is from Candola, San Luis, Pampanga. Maybe they should also look for
their relatives there and ask some questions among the old folks.Maybe the house
of Dola Goiti Dula is still there.They can look for antique artifacts, etc. If
there is no Lacandola surname in Candola, why? Is there a history of massive
migration to Lubao? Because of Spanish persecution?
One complication
about the search of the Macapagal Arroyo on their link with Lakan Dula is that
the Capulong and Macapagal of the historical Candaba are disowning them. They
don't like the family history that the Macapagal of Lubao sided with the
Spaniards against the native patriots. The Salonga lineage is also against the
Macapagal, for one, Sen. Jovito Salonga
led the Liberal Party of President Noynoy Aquino, a Lakan Dula descendant
himself from the Sumulong side - in putting ex President Gloria Arroyo to jail.
The hereditary leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley has also a bad
personal experience with President Gloria Arroyo which only PGMA personal
secretary Yoko Ramos can confide.
Meantime, the
confusions of the Macapagal Arroyo in their desperate effort to link with the
bloodline of Lakan Dula continues. Their approach for so many years is wrong.
We are all
relieved that this article was finally renamed Lakandula because this is indeed
an article about Lacandola Tall Tales of Lubao town in Pampanga. Then, there
will be possibility of coming out with the correct article entitled Lakan Dula
someday, where the Lakan Dula High School of Tondo was named after. It happened
before, there was a Lakandula article and another article Rajah Lakan Dula.
Then, the Lakandula article , because of fewer hits, was merged with this Rajah
Lakan Dula article. Now, they changed the Rajah Lakan Dula article to Lakandula
for a complete circle. Why do they renamed it to Lakandula, no historical
reason..except that it is near to Lacandola, a common Filipino surname who
happens to be one of the surnames of the grandfather of Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo, who is now in jail for several cases. The family has paid hacks who do
all these things. They are good in playing around the Wikipedia system.This
latest efforts will backfire on them and will earn the hatred of the
descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo, the patriots on descendants of Lacandola of
Lubao, the traitors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.204.246.39

The family of
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo should realize that it is useless to mangle the name of
Lakan Banao Dula to Lakandula/Lacandola because it will not give them lineage
to Lakan Dula even if they are succesful in mangling the name. The only way to
prove their lineage to Lakan Dula is to provide a direct lineage with one of
the children of Lakan Dula. Among the children, nobody has the surname
lacandola anyway, so, why mangle Lakan Dula with Lacandola when Lacandola will
not give them the lineage that they need. In fact, it will only distance
themselves with the Lakan Dula of Tondo heritage because they will be isolated
and be identified as the Lacandola of Lubao, the traitor family and fake
claimants to the lineage of Lakan Dula. Their latest tactic is to enter Luis
Taclocmao as one of the children of Lakan dula of Tondo and claim direct
lineage from him is a right move. And that move will not require mangling the
name Lakan Dula to Lakandula/Lacandola because the efforts are not
complimentary to each other..they are in opposite direction. Either they
establish lineage through Taclocmao, or they pursue their Lacandola Tall Tales
which unfortunately does not provide direct lineage from any children of Lakan
Dula. The Dola Goiti y Dula lineage of Candola, San Luis, Pampanga could be it,
but the Macapagal Family can not find a relative in Candola, San Luis, Pampanga
with a surname Lacandola. The family of Gatbonton like JJMacam is spilling the
beans all over town and internet, revealing the family secret that the macapagals
are not really descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo...it is an internal family
conflict but the revelation is damaging to the Macapagal. So, let us just
maintain the title of this article to Lakandula for the people to see the
efforts of the Macapagal Family of Lubao to link with Lakan Dula of Tondo. —

Lakan Dula of Tondo
is different from Carlos Lacandola of Arayat because they have a different set
of children. The children of Lakan Dula of Tondo are Batang Dula, Felipe
Salonga, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, Martin Lakan Dula and Maria Poloin.
Carlos Lacandola has a grandson named Juan Macapagal y Reyes, meaning, the
daughter of Carlos Lacandola has a surname Reyes but married a Macapagal that
gave birth to Juan Macapagal y Reyes. Lakan Dula of Tondo has no daughter with
surname Reyes as seen in the list above, because he has only one daughter,
Maria Poloin. Therefore, Lakan Dula of Tondo and Carlos Lacandola of Arayat are
two different people. Furtheremore, this Wikipedia article is not about Lakan
Dula of Tondo but Carlos Lacandola of Arayat. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is not a
descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo but of Carlos Lacandola of Arayat. We have
uncovered a historical anomaly in the Philippines. Thanks Wikipedia.
It is possible that one of the grand daughters of Lakan
Dula, Dola Goiti Dula from whom Candola (owned by Dola)of San Luis, Pampanga
was named after, married somebody with a Reyes surname. Later, the Reyes family
will have a daughter who married a Macapagal which gave birth to Juan Macapagal
y Reyes. This could have been very possible and logical and fool proof, which
will put the Macapagal Family the honor of being a direct descendant of the first
- born son of Lakan Dula, Batang Dula. This could have settled every doubts if
the Macapagal are really descendants of Lakan Dula or not. But the paid hackers
of the Macapagal family are not seeing it that way. They are so illogically
fixated in changing Lakan Dula with Lakandula and later Lacandola which only
made the real descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo mad because it is insinuating
that Lakan Dula of Tondo and Carlos Lacandola, the traitor from Arayat are the
same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.204.132.215 (talk) 08:40, 25

[edit]Lakan Dula, Banaw, and the Muhammed vandalization
No evidence was given to support his use of
"Muhammed", vandalism... Also, Banaw or "Banao" was a
personal name, so it would be properly used as "Lakan Dula
Banaw/Banao" if need be used, otherwise, simple Lakan Dula, ALSO,
"Lakan Dula" is a title as well as a dynasty, so therefore, there
were previous Lakan Dulas before the last one, which IS this one.--LakanBanwa

So, this last Lakan Dula which is the subject of this
article is not really the Lakan Dula of Tondo? Then, we must have another
separate Wikipedia article about the Lakan Dula of Tondo from whom the Lakan
Dula High School was named. The distinction would be that this present article
is about Carlos Lacandola of Arayat whose one of the daughter is surnamed Reyes
and married a guy with a surname Macapagal and gave birth to Juan Macapagal y
Reyes, the 10th generation great grandfather of President Gloria Arroyo. The
Lakan Dula of Tondo has the following children: Batang Dula, Martin Lakan Dula,
Magat Salamat, Felipe Capulong, Dionisio Salonga and Maria Poloin. Take note
that Lakan Dula of Tondo has no daughter with a surname Reyes. Finally, the
truth has come out. Thanks Wikipedia.112.204.142.121 (talk) 16:26, 15 July 2012

This Lakan Dula specifically was from Tondo, if I'm not
mistaken, all the "Lakan Dulas" are from Tondo... Now, if there was
another nation with a ruler using "Lakan", but without
"Dula" following it, then you have something to investigate
there.--LakanBanwa (talk) 10:52, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Attention LakanBanwa, you are mistaken.There is only one
Lakan Dula of Tondo. You are blinded by your own agenda. You are mistaken
again, there is another ruler in the Philippine history that used the title
Lakan. He is Lakan Timamanukum,father of Rajah Alon. Please stop your secret
agenda of corrupting Philippine history by eventually linking Lakan Dula of
Tondo with Carlos Lacandola of Arayat whose one of the daughters is surnamed
Reyes and married a guy with a surname Macapagal and gave birth to Juan
Macapagal y Reyes, the 10th generation great grandfather of President Gloria
Arroyo. Lakan Dula of Tondo has no daughter with a surname Reyes. Lakan Dula of
Tondo is not Carlos Lacandola of Arayat. You are committing a HISTORICAL
PLUNDER!
