The Ancestors of Lakan Dula and David Dulay (David Dula y Goiti)
malay ko
This is found in an obscure discussion page of Wikipedia. The way I see it, this discussion is among the descendants of Lakan Dula, otherwise, they will not bother to go to that Wikipedia topic. I removed the names of those involeve in the discussion so that our understanding of the topic will be more objective. More or less, this will tell us if there is really such a curse: "We have been hearing of some legends about Lakan Dula from our old folks. Is it probable that we can somehow incorporate some of the legends that we been hearing about him in this article? Like, maybe, if its possible, then, we can incorporate the "Candola of Lubao" tales, written by the grandfather of President Gloria Arroyo. Here is another legend that we can also probably include together with "Lacandola of Lubao" tales, the "Sumpa ni Lakan Dula"legend. SUMPA NI LAKAN DULA President Erap was supported by the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley when he run for senator and later vice president in 1992, until the time he run for President and won. But after winning the presidency, Erap neglected the CLAN. Erap was booted out of office and was convicted. President Gloria Arroyo was supported by the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley, when she run for senator, vice president and in EDSA Dos against Erap. But after she assumed the presidency, she neglected the CLAN. Will GMA be booted out also, and be convicted of crimes later? MAY SUMPA KAYA SI LAKAN DULA? We know that this is still a legend that has to be accepted through time, and I think it will not pass the Wikipedia standard same way as the "Candola of Lubao" tales. As this article is being written, the fulfillment of "SUMPA NI LAKAN DULA" is presently unfolding in the Philippines today. Filipinos from all walks of life are demanding the resignation of President Arroyo for a series of corruption charges. Is the Sumpa of Lakan Dula now working on President Arroyo after it worked on President Erap? Is the "Sumpa" just coincidental or it is rooted on the psyche of Filipinos and written in the destiny of this nation? We find it quite interesting. The Curse of Lakan Dula is I think true. Like today, Former Senate President Jovito Salonga, a descendant of Lakan Dula from Pasig filed a plunder complaint against President Gloria Arroyo. The late Ceferino Dulay, the 4th generation leader of Dulay Clan of Marikina is a good friend of President Diosdado Macapagal. During the second term of Marcos, the Dulay Clan of Marikina became eventually supporters of Marcos. Sofronio, the 5th generation leader of the clan even joined the UP Vanguard. Yet, when Marcos started to be abusive, the whole Dulay Clan of Marikina started to fight Marcos. Sofronio, then a young professional, organized the "Kramer Junta" and joined EDSA 1. Maybe we can restate the "SUMPA NI LAKAN DULA" this way: if you are a leader trusted by Lakan Dula thru his descendants, serve the people well, dont steal and be honest, because if you violated the Lakan Dula trust, you will earn the curse of Lakan Dula thru the wrath of his descendants. This sounds logical and doable, and historical too. In fact, it is happening right now on President Gloria Arroyo who is claiming to be a descendant of Lakan Dula herself, a claim which the Wikipedia community had been questioning by asking some proofs or citations. The elders of the descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo, Philipine Vice President Teofisto Guingona and Philippine Senate President Jovito Salonga will make sure that the "SUMPA NI LAKAN DULA" will apply on both President Joseph Estrada and President Gloria Arroyo. To all detractors of PGMA in this discussion, why dont you give her a break. The Sumpa of Lakan Dula will not work on PGMA because she is not a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo but a descendant of Candola of Lubao, a spanish collaborator. Please read the original "La Candola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", which is coming from the Macapagal family itself. Candola is a place in San Luis, Pampanga. Can someone make a link between La Candola of Lubao and Candola of San Luis. Maybe Candola of Lubao is named after Candola of San Luis.Candola is a Spanish word. What is the meaning of that word in English? Traitor? Fake? What?. "
Lakan Dula descendants are self sustaining, independent, sometimes secretive and clannish and are turning out to be mestizo looking because they usually are married to mestizo or pure Chinese or Spanish from generation to generation, a marriage tradition which they are still practicing even today. For instance, if you survey the wives and husbands of the Dulay Clan of Northern Samar, most of them are married to Chinese mestizos and Mestizas. One of the examples is Governor Madeleine Mendoza (who herself is Spanish looking) and who is a direct descendant of Petre Dulay of Candawid (Kan David, or David Dula y Goiti). She is married to Mayor Hector Ong, brother of Congressman Emil Ong. Another example is the present leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina who is married to a Chinese mestiza... which explained the fact that the immediate reigning family of the Dulay Clan of Marikina that stays in the clan ancestral house in the poblacion are all chinitos and chinitas. The future generations of the descendants of Lakan Dula may appear to look very different from the description of Lakan Dula as based on the accounts of the earlier descendants. These future descendants, as time passes by, may even look more Caucasians and Chinese than natives, due to their tradition of marriage, but they have to look back to the appearance of Lakan Dula as described above, and feel proud that this is the way the aboriginal native Filipinos look once upon a time.Lakan Dula has a French and British blood but his descendants may have a varying appearance. History would talk of the three Lakan Dula grandchildren with Spanish mother: David, Daba and Dola.Due to intense Spanish prosecution of the native aristocracy, Lakan Dula decided to send these three grandchildren to safe places where the Lakan Dula settlement are very strong. David was send to an entry point to the Kingdom of Manila in the galleon trade route - Candawid, Isla de Batag, Laoang Northern Samar. Daba was sent to Candaba in Pampanga and Dola was sent to Candola, San Luis, Pampanga. David was given a big tract of coconut plantation with households and armed followers. Daba was given a big tract of land and Dola was given large farmland. Daba and Dola were given also households but without armed followers, because they are girls and because their sanctuaries are near Tondo.The descendants of David Dula y Goiti are more Hispanic and Chinese looking because of its ability to marry into rich Hispanic and Chinese families in the Laoang - Catubig - Palapag towns in Northern Samar through time, were the old Spanish ships repair establishments catering to ships from galleon trade was located (Palapag), as well as the government capital (Catubig) and commercial capital (Laoang) of Samar Island were found. An example of the descendants of David Dula y Goiti are former Northern Samar Governor Madeilene Mendoza Ong who has a white Spanish complexion, and San Roque, Marikina SK Kagawad Sofronio Corral Dulay ll who has a tall, white and Hispanic - Chinese looks.The descendants of Daba Dula y Goiti are found mostly in Candaba , Pampanga, the original farmland given by Lakan Dula to Daba. To describe the descendants of Daba is to look at the appearance of the Capulongs, the direct descendants.Because Daba is a girl, the Dula surname was totally erased through time and replaced with descendants with totally different surnames. The Daba descendants, described through the Capulongs, have high noses but not so white skin.The descendants of Dola Dula y Goiti are found in Candola, San Luis, Pampanga, the big tract of land inherited by Dola from the Kingdom of Lakan Dula. But because Dola is a girl, her descendants carried different surnames like Macapagal, etc. A lot of them moved out of Candola and settled in other towns, like in Lubao. To describe the appearance of the descendants of Dola is to see former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo: short, dark but with nice nose.The Daba and the Dola descendants are currently in a state of disharmony. The Daba descendants are proud patriots but the Dola descendants are proud Spanish collaborators. There traitorship and Spanish collaborations are proudly written in their own family history. Daba and Dola, being girls lost their Dula surnames as well as the hereditary clan leadership from within the Daba Clan and the Dola Clan. As of this writing, there is no identified clan leaders within the Daba Clan and Dola Clan, based on heredity. It will take sometime, if it will ever happen, to trace the lineage of the first born sons of Daba and Dola where the traditional hereditary leaders should come. What will happen are some people who will claim direct ancestry from the two, but will never be able to identify their hereditary leaders and their link to those claiming to be leaders.How_does_rajah_lakandula_look_like
The Kingdom of Lakan Dula was flourishing before the Spaniards came. It is based in what is now known as Intramuros in Manila. Lakan, according to respected Filipino historians, is a title of nobility during the pre- hispanic era which means "paramount ruler" and Dula is the name of the paramount ruler of the kingdom. The kingdom has some marriages practices that seem to be revolving around the concept of mixed marriages."In mixed marriages, one free and one slave, the children's class matched the parent's class. If there was only one child, the child would be the class of the father. If two children are born, the first matches the father and the second is like the mother. If three children, the third child is half free and half slave."What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_DulaEven subsequent literatures, the concept of mixed marriages seem to be the prevailing in the Kingdom of Lakan Dula. This was even captured in the legend of Mt. Makiling: "As time passed, the love affair between Gat Dula and Maria came to be known to Gat Panahon, Maria's father. Gat Panahon was angry. Even Dayang Makiling, Maria's mother, was distressed that her only daughter was in love with a mortal. Maria was then forbidden to go down to the earth. Her parents even took away from Maria the power of enchantment which enabled a deity to look and act like an ordinary mortal. But even though Maria and Gat Dula could no longer meet physically, their love endured. Maria continued to watch over Gat Dula. During a battle with the army of Lakan Bunto, the ruler of a neighboring kingdom who invaded the kingdom of Bay, Gat Dula did not suffer a single wound due to the support of Maria's enchantment. Unfortunately, Gat Dula's inability to see Maria caused him to fall ill and die. Maria asked the gods to give her the soul of Gat Dula and her request was granted."What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_DulaWhen the Spaniards came, they basically initiated two strategies to downplay the native aristocracy: by marginalizing them which led Lakan Dula descendants to go to far flung places in the archipelago under assumed names; and secondly, by inter marrying the remaining native nobilities of Intramuros with Spanish ladies and men. This strategy was documented in several literatures such as a "play which tells a little of the early history of the Philippines during the 16th century when the Spaniards were slowly gaining ground on Philippine land in the European race for colonies. The history was retold in the backdrop of a love story (part true/part myth) between the daughter of the Filipino revolutionary hero Lakan Dula, and Captain Juan de Salcedo, grandson of the Governor-general of Manila, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi." What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_DulaThis strategy of the Spaniards seems to be in line, incidentally, with the pre - hispanic marriage traditions of the descendants of Lakan Dula: racial intermarriages. "Manila, its capital city, was populated by about 300 male adults if we are to include the 200 or more soldiers quartered among the civilians and natives. To this figure should be added the members of the religious community who numbered about 50. The 80-odd civilians were all connected with the colonial government. 50 were married to Spanish women and a few others to natives. There were 15 widows, 8 or 10 girls of marriageable age and some children".What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_DulaThis marriage tradition is valued even by the Filipino nobility that moved out of Intramuros at the height of the Spanish prosecutions. "David Dula y Goiti, a grandson of Lakan Dula with a Spanish mother escaped the persecution of the descendants of Lakan Dula by settling in Isla de Batag, Northern Samar and settled in the placed now called Candawid (Kan David).What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_DulaThis tradition even went into the life of ordinary citizens of Manila. "Tagalog ang tawag ng mga tao sa sarili, at kahawig sila ng mga Malay sa kilos at anyo, kahit kaiba ang wika, na kasing-tamis din nila sa pananalita. Nag-iba lamang sila sa mga natutunang gawi; sa Manila, malaganap ang ugnayan ng mga tao at mga Intsik kaya naging mestizo na sila."What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_DulaThis racial inter marriages tradition being practice by the descendants of Lakan Dula, especially those who have clear lineage to the pre Hispanic King, and are conscious of their tribal history, are still alive even these days. The 5th generation hereditary leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley, for instance, is married to a Chinese mestiza. Even President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo herself is married to a member of a Spanish speaking Tuason family. Former Northern Samar Governor Maddeiline Mendoza Ong, a direct descendant of Petre Dulay of Candawid, Isla de Batag who herself is Spanish mestiza looking, is married to former Mayor Hector Ong, from a Chinese family that includes Congressman Emil Ong. This ancient tribal marriage tradition of the descendants of Lakan Dula, which is still being practice today, partly explains why the descendants of today are Chinese or Spanish mestizo looking and are very far from the appearance of the traditional Filipino natives. But make no mistake about them; they are as nationalistic as anyone could be despite of their foreign looks, that is why a lot of them are into public service.What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_Dulahttp://mkleskas.13.forumer.com/a/Philippine-history-from-the-fma-warriors-perspective_post11-45.HTMLWhat_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_Dulahttp://members.tripod.com/magicrealms/folklore/maria.HTMLWhat_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_DulaWhat_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_Dulahttp://ca.supremecourt.gov.pH/index.php?action=mnuactual_contents&ap=j40100What_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_Dulahttp://yawiki.org/proc/Rajah_LakandulaWhat_are_the_marriage_traditions_of_the_descendants_of_Lakan_Dulahttp://members.AOL.com/ernestojlaput/main.htm
Looks of Lakan Dula & his DescendantsThe appearance of Lakan Dula, can be described through the standard methods that well known historians around the world usually resort to, by describing his known closest descendant, in this case, David Dula y Goiti, and by asking old folks about it. Lakan Dula is taller than the average native of his times, maybe 5'6 to 5'8 in height. He is not very dark, he is "kayumangging kaligatan", which is slightly fairer than the average native. Due to his fondness to the sea and rivers (Tagalog came from Taga - ilog, from the river), he has a dry skin on his legs which appeared to be some sort of "scales", which is like the skin of some Europeans during winter (scally), a characteristics which some of his descendants at present are still carrying. He has a high cheek bone, a protrudding forehead and a nose which is "pugilist" - high, but the bridge is not well pronounced. He has a straight hair, but appears to be a wavy on his slightly longer hair. His eyes is deep set, slightly brown, and not too chinky. His eyebrows are not thick. His teeth are well arranged. He appears to be lanky and not very mascular but he is not overweight. He is a silent type but very passionate. He is extremely bright in mannerisms, and smart and wise in battles. He is a litttle bit hairy on his legs and arms, just enough hair, and has a well shaven and not thick "bigote". Although, commercial artists renditions of his appearance in the postcards sold in popular bookstores in the Philippines illustrates him as clean shaven. His descendants are self sustaining, independent, sometimes secretive and clannish and are turning out to be mestizo looking because they ussually are married to mestiza or pure Chinese or Spanish from generation to generation, a marriage tradition which they are still practicing even today. For instance, if you survey the wives and husbands of the Dulay Clan of Northern Samar, most of them are married to Chinese mestizos and mestizas. One of the examples is Governnor Madeilline Mendoza(who herself is Spanish mestiza looking) and who is a direct descendant of Petre Dulay of Candawid (Kan David, or David Dula y Goiti). She is married to Mayor Hector Ong, brother of Congressman Emil Ong. Another example is the present leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina who is married to a Chinese mestiza... which explained the fact that the immediate reigning family of the Dulay Clan of Marikina that stays in the clan ancestral house in the poblacion are all chinitos and chinitas. The future generations of the descendants of Lakan Dula may appear to look very different from the description of Lakan Dula as based on the accounts of the earlier descendants. These future descendants, as time passes by, may even look more caucasians and Chinese than natives, due to their tradition of marriage, but they have to look back to the appearance of Lakan Dula as described above, and feel proud that this is the way the archeological native Filipinos look once upon a time.
The name "Lakan Dula" is derived from Filipino royalty titles. "Lakan" was a title given to nobility in pre-colonial Philippines, while "Dula" refers to a traditional Filipino game. Lakan Dula was a chieftain of Tondo who led a rebellion against Spanish colonization in the 16th century.
A study on the current Wikipedia article entitled Lakandula written by a paid writer of the Macapagal Family reveals the following: 1. That Lakan Dula of Tondo is different from Mr. Carlos Lacandola. Pre-hispanic Filipinos has no surname, it is just title and the name. Ex. Lakan Timamanukum, Lakan Dula, Batang Dula. Lakan means paramount ruler, Batang means younger Dula, or prince Dula. Mr. Banao Lakandula is a latter person as shown by the fact that he is already influenced by the Spaniards "first name - surname system". So, he is different from Lakan Dula of Tondo. 2. If Lakan Dula of Tondo was baptized as Mr. Banao Lakandula, he will never be baptized again as Mr. Carlos Lacandola. Two baptisms on one person are not allowed in the Catholic Church. 3. There is no baptismal certificate on church records that showed Lakan Dula of Tondo being baptized as Mr. Banao Lakandula and later Mr. Carlos Lacandola. Maybe the reasons why the National Museum has no artifact of Lakan Dula's birth certificate is that he was only baptized in a ceremony but retained his name. Or maybe, he was baptized by giving him a first name and retaining Dula as his surname, and the birth certificate under a Dula surname was not recognized by our historians. They never thought that the birth certificate of a guy with a Dula surname is actually that of Lakan Dula. They did not realized that birth certificates do not show titles of the person being baptized. Besides, it will be for the interest of the Spanish government and the Church at that time to erased the title Lakan in Lakan Dula's new Christian name to slowly eradicate the Filipino native aristocracy. 4. One proof that Lakan Dula did not changed his name to Mr. Banao Lakandula and later to Mr. Carlos Lacandola was that his children and grand children did not carry the supposed surname Lacandola. The surnames of the children of Lakan Dula are Batang Dula, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, Felipe Salonga, Martin Lakandula and Maria Poloin 5. Since no child of Lakan Dula of Tondo carried the surname of Lacandola, then, the surname Lacandola is not a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo but a descendant of Mr. Carlos Lacandola of Lubao. And since the claim of Macapagal of their decendancy to Lakan Dula of Tondo is anchored on the surname Lacandola, therefore, the Macapagal are not descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo but of Mr. Carlos Lacandola of Lubao, the traitor who sided with the Spaniards against the native patriots. 6. One probable proof of their Lakan Dula lineage is that one grandchild of Lakan Dula of Tondo married a guy with a surname Lacandola, a common surname among Filipinos, but the Wikipedia article of the Macapagal entitled Lakandula is not saying so. 7. Another probable proof also is that one granddaughter of Lakan Dula was named Dola Goiti Dula and was hidden in San Luis Pampanga by giving her a big farm now known as Candola, or owned by Dola. And that granddaughter changed the surname of her family to Lacandola to hide them from Spanish prosecution. But, the Macapagal has not identified a relative from Candola, San Luis, Pampanga with a surname Lacandola. Their Wikipedia article entitled Lakandula is not showing it. 8. The desire of the Macapagal Family to change the name of Lakan Dula of Tondo from where the Lakan Dula High School was named, to Lakandula or Lacandola in some official documents, awards (e.r. Order of Lakandula) and in Wikipedia is their desperate desire to link with their surname Lacandola to Lakan Dula, forgetting that to prove their descendancy to Lakan Dula, a closely similar name is immaterial, they must link their bloodline with one of the children of Lakan Dula, or grandchildren, which their own Lakandula article in the Wikipedia did not show. 9. Now, given that their Lacandola gambit to connect with Lakan Dula is a failure, watch out, they might eventually connect with one of the Lakan Dula children or grandchildren, or might even invent a Lakan Dula child with a surname Lacandola, but, what will they do with the much publicized Lacandola Tall Tales that made them traitors siding with the Spaniards, against native Filipino patriots? Will they just say, ok, misdeal?
According to JJ Macam of the Gatbunton Clan, the first attempt of the Macapagals to link with Lakan Bunao Dula, the last king of the Kingdom of Tondo, is through the Gatbunton lineage. The Gatbunton Clan is the first clan in the Philippine history that have shown direct connection with Lakan Dula. But after ascertaining that the Gatbuntun was just logistic officer of the Kingdom of Tondon and probaly has no blood lineage with the King of Tondo, the Macapagals distanced from them to the point of deleting the Wikipedia article on Gatbunton. Their was an attempt to link with one of the children of Lakan Dula, Martin Lakan Dula but the plan fizzled out after finding that Martin never had children because he became a priest. There is another attempt to link with one of the sons of Lakan Dula by the name of Dionisio Capulong who is rumored to be Batang Dula that hid in another name. The only problem is that descendants of Dionisio Capulong are denouncing the Macapagal as traitors and are not related to them. One of their other claims is that one of the granddaughter of Lakan Bunao Dula is Dola Goiti Dula. She was hidden in nearby San Luis, Pampanga during the the intense prosecution of the native aristocracy by the Spaniards who are claiming that Lakan Dula is siding with the British Empire because of Ysmeria Doylly, Lakan Dula's mother is a British. The fertile plantation where Dola was hidden is now known by the natives as Kandola in San Luis, Pampanga. Kan is an ancient word which means "owned". Dola was eventually married to a Spanish Guardia Civil surnamed Reyes but she decided to use the surname Lacandola for their children in order not to distance from the Lakan Dula heritage. The children of Dola Reyes, are therefore carrying the surname Lacandola and one of them was married to a Macapagal. In an interview with a descendant of Lakan Dula by GMA 7 in their episode of the Kingdom of Tondo, the Lakan Dula descendant was asked how do you determine the other descendants? His answer is through "lukso ng dugo", meaning, the feeling of being close or being at home with somebody, especially, those Filipinos with native surnames or are listed in the Lakan Dula history of descendants, is an indication that that somebody could be a fellow descendant. When that descendant was asked by GMA 7 if there is a "lukso ng dugo" with President Gloria Arroyo, he said there is. The link of the Macapagals to Lakan Dula could indeed be a subject of historical research, but if Lakan Dula descendants were to be asked, there is a feeling of kinship with the Macapagals. There only problem is they are unable to explain from which children of Lakan Dula they descended from.

Lakan Banaw Dula, also known as Rajah Matanda, was baptized into Christianity alongside his nephew, Rajah Sulayman, by the Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi in the 16th century. This event marked the official conversion of both rulers to Christianity and was part of the Spanish colonization efforts in the Philippines.
Perhaps only the descendants can answer this question.
all revolts from Lakan-Dula to Apolinario de la Cruz, had failed
"Lakan Dula" is a historical figure from the Philippines. In English, it would be translated as "Lord Dula." He was a nobleman from Tondo who played a significant role during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines.

Ang Pag-aalsa nina Lakan Dula at Sulayman ay isang pangyayari noong 1574 kung saan nagtunggali ang dalawang magkasunod na pinuno ng Maynila laban sa mga Espanyol. Binawi ng mga Espanyol ang pamahalaan ng mga Tagalog at inakalang ang kanilang relihiyon ng mga sinaunang Diyos ay makakapigil sa Tuhan ng mga Kastila. Si Lakan Dula ay nahuling kasama ang kanyang mga tagasunod at si Sulayman naman ang pinatay habang lumalaban.
One of the recognized heroes in Philippine pre-colonial and colonial history and the second-eldest of Lakan Dula's four sons describes the identity of Datu Magat Salamat. Lakan Dula (1503-1589) reigned from 1558 to 1571 over the Kingdom of Tondo. His son, Crown Prince Batu Magat Salamat (1550-1589?), supported opposition to Spanish colonialism during the years 1587 and 1588.
DESCENDANTS OF LAKAN DULA A portion Official protest (of the Philippine Republic) against the Paris Peace Treaty, December 12, 1898 delivered by FELIPE AGONCILLO, PARIS, 12th of December, 1898 says: "The Blood Compact" (Pacto de Sangre) of the 12th of March, 1565, entered into between the General Don Miguel ...Lopez de Legazpi and the Filipino sovereign, Sikatuna, a compact which was ratified and confirmed on the one side, by the King of Spain, Philip II, and, on the other side, by the Monarchs of Mindanao, Bisayas and Luzon and by the Supreme Chief of that Confederation, the Lakan Banaw Dula (Sultan Lacandola); proclaiming as a consequence, the autonomous nationality of the Kingdom of "New Castile", formed by the Philippine Islands, under the sceptre of the King of Spain."
