Where did Lakan Dula come from?

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 co conspirators and relative of Sumuroy, 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.The Ancestors of David Dulay (David Dula y Goiti)Reference:See the related link for further information.Batang Dula: Father of David Dula y Goiti; Son of Lakan Dula and Mutya;Brother of Magat Salamat, Felipe Salonga, Martin Lakan Dula, Dionisio Capulong and Maria Poloin.Lakan Dula (1503 - 1589): David's grandfather; Husband of Mutya; Son of Rajah Sulaiman I and Ysmeria; Father of Batang Dula, Magat Salamat, Felipe Salonga, Dionisio Capulong, and Maria Poloin.Mutya: David's grandmother; Wife of Lakan Dula; Mother of Batang Dula, Felipe Salonga, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, and Maria Poloin.Rajah Sulaiman I: David's great grandfather; Son of Rajah Lontok and Dayang Kalangitan; Husband of Ysmeria; Father of Lakan Dula and Rajah Sulaiman II,; Brother of Dayang Panginoan, Dayang Lahat and Gat Kahiya.Ysmeria: David's great grandmother; Wife of Rajah Sulaiman I; Mother of Lakan Dula and Rajah Sulaiman II.Rajah Lontok: David's second great grandfather; Son of Sultan Bolkiah and Lela Mechanai; Husband of Dayang Kalangitan; Father of Dayang Panginoan, Dayang Lahat, Rajah Sulaiman I and Gat Kahiya; Brother of Rajah GappandanDayang Kalangitan: David's second great grandmother; Wife of Rajah Lontok;Mother of Dayang Panginoan, Dayang Lahat, Rajah Sulaiman I and Gat KahiyaSultan Bolkiah: David's third great grandfather; Son of Sultan Sulaiman; Husband of Lela Mechanai; Father of Rajah Lontok and Rajah Gatpandan.Lela Mechanai: David's third great grandmother; Daughter of Sultan Amir Ul-Ombra; Wife of Sultan Bolkiah; Mother of Rajah Lontok and Rajah GatpandanRajah Gambang: David's third great grandfather; Father of Dayang KalangitanSultan Sulaiman: David's fourth great grandfather; Father of Sultan BolkiahSultan Amir Ul-Ombra: David's fourth great grandfather; Father of Lela MechanaiRajah Alon: David's fifth great grandfather; Son of Lakan TimamanukumLakan Timamanukum: David's 6th great grandfather; Father of Rajah Alon.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, Jr. who won the Philippine Presidency but was cheated by Gloria Arroyo, from the La Candola Clan of Arayat Pampanga, who was jailed later on the charges of election offenses and plunder. La Candola is a common hispanic /italian surname adopted by lots of Filipinos in different parts of the country.The Gatbonton Clan kept a ancient secret genealogy of the native Filipino royalty, to wit:This genealogy of the Gatbonton Clan shows the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley as direct descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo. As the leader of the Gatbonton Clan said: " 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 Dula 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."The descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo therefore can be traced by knowing the present descendants of his seven children, namely: Batang Dula, Martin Lakan Dula, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, Felipe Salonga, Maria Poloin and Luis Salugmoc. The family of Diosdado Macapagal is claiming descendancy from Lakan Dula of Tondo but they can not point out where in the Lakan Dula children did they come from. They always end up not with any children of Lakan Dula, but with a certain guy with a surname Lacandola from Arayat, Pampanga who turned out to be a traitor to the natives and pro Spaniards, whose one of the children is surnamed Reyes who married Juan Macapagal where the present Macapagal of Lubao came from. This is shown in the present Wikipedia article on Lakan Dula which is dominated by the paid hacks of the Macapagal but is boycotted by respected Philippine historians. Lacandola is a very common Filipino surname but to show that it is a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo, it must show that it came from one of the seven children of Lakan Dula. Maybe, the Macapagal came from Gatbonton Clan, whose great great grandfather is the "administrator of the rice granary of the Kingdom of Lakan Dula".Lots of native sounding Filipino surnames today, just like the Gatbontons, may have been descendants of the relatives of Lakan Dula who served in special capacity in the Kingdom of Lakan Dula.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 alleged great grandson Juan Macapagal (Wikipedia article points out that he is actually a descendant of certain Mr. Lacandola of Arayat who is a traitor to the natives and a proud pro Spaniards), 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.The Philippine Genealogical Society has the official list of these native Filipino surnames in its website at the related link. Each surname may have some family history that will show their designation or role in the Kingdom of Lakan Dula the way the Gotbonton Clan had documented from the past. One example of which is the surname Lacandola of Arayat who is proudly anti - native and pro Spaniards. Other native sounding surnames may have exciting histories.

What is basis of President Arroyo's Claim that she is a descendant of Lakan Dula?

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.

Was Lakan Banaw Dula Baptized to Christianity?

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.

Is there a probability that the Macapagal family are not descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo but of Mr Banao Lacandola of Lubao?

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?

Who is the modern day grand patriarch of the Lakan Dula Clan or people having the Lakandula bloodline?

This question will be decided by among the descendants of Lakan Banao Dula of Tondo, Manila. I have seen a website which somehow shows exchange of conversation among the leaders of the descendants. I wish to print it verbatim:The Descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo are UnitedDelmar Topinio Taclibon : "My deepest gratitude to Hrh Prince Omar Kiram and His Majesty Sultan Fuad A. Kiram I of the Royal Hashemite Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah for this conferment as one of the Datu(k) of the Royal Dominion."Message of Hrh Prince Omar Kiram:"The Hon. Datuk Sir Delmar Topinio Taclibon, KRSS, we wish you and your family and all our beloved members a blessed and prosperous joyful new year. Let us continue our resolve, commitment, dedication, true faith and allegiance to our beloved anointed Sultan Fuad A. Kiram I, to realize our advocacy of Sabah and Spratlys against Malaysia's land grabbing for the benefits of the Tausugs and the Filipinos. God Defend the Right!"Toti Dulay : "congrats insan Delmar Topinio Taclibon and mabuhay ang Magat Salamat lineage ni Lakan Dula ng Tondo..."Delmar Topinio Taclibon : "Thank you too Modern Day Grand Patriarch of the Lakan Dula Clan Sir Toti Dulay!"Roderick Alain Alvarez : 9th cousin's husband's 9th great uncle's wife's 6th great aunt's husband's 16th great grandson we're that related, insan Toti, pero hindi pa tapos ang Lakan Dula genealogy: please add as many relatives coz, as head of the Royal House, you know them better :)Toti Dulay: Thank you insan Roderick, in the Geni. Com genealogy, we saw na lumabas na yung name nung Juan Reyes Macapagal..ang main concern na lang natin is paano na connect si Diosdado Macapagal kay Juan Macapagal.Suijul Tasorre: Dear Sir Toti, I am very happy to know that you were able to protect the continuity of the Dula lineage....... how I wish na makilala ko kayo....... I'm a fan royalties specially ancient filipino royalty.... the missing link of our history as a nation.......In this exchange of actual conversation among leaders of the descendants of Lakan Dula, we will be able to deduce who is thesecretive patriarch of the descendants of the Lakan Dula bloodline.

Image of Lakan Dula descendant?

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

What is the Sumpa of Lakan Dula?

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.

Where did Lakan Dula come from?

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 co conspirators and relative of Sumuroy, 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.The Ancestors of David Dulay (David Dula y Goiti)Reference:See the related link for further information.Batang Dula: Father of David Dula y Goiti; Son of Lakan Dula and Mutya;Brother of Magat Salamat, Felipe Salonga, Martin Lakan Dula, Dionisio Capulong and Maria Poloin.Lakan Dula (1503 - 1589): David's grandfather; Husband of Mutya; Son of Rajah Sulaiman I and Ysmeria; Father of Batang Dula, Magat Salamat, Felipe Salonga, Dionisio Capulong, and Maria Poloin.Mutya: David's grandmother; Wife of Lakan Dula; Mother of Batang Dula, Felipe Salonga, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, and Maria Poloin.Rajah Sulaiman I: David's great grandfather; Son of Rajah Lontok and Dayang Kalangitan; Husband of Ysmeria; Father of Lakan Dula and Rajah Sulaiman II,; Brother of Dayang Panginoan, Dayang Lahat and Gat Kahiya.Ysmeria: David's great grandmother; Wife of Rajah Sulaiman I; Mother of Lakan Dula and Rajah Sulaiman II.Rajah Lontok: David's second great grandfather; Son of Sultan Bolkiah and Lela Mechanai; Husband of Dayang Kalangitan; Father of Dayang Panginoan, Dayang Lahat, Rajah Sulaiman I and Gat Kahiya; Brother of Rajah GappandanDayang Kalangitan: David's second great grandmother; Wife of Rajah Lontok;Mother of Dayang Panginoan, Dayang Lahat, Rajah Sulaiman I and Gat KahiyaSultan Bolkiah: David's third great grandfather; Son of Sultan Sulaiman; Husband of Lela Mechanai; Father of Rajah Lontok and Rajah Gatpandan.Lela Mechanai: David's third great grandmother; Daughter of Sultan Amir Ul-Ombra; Wife of Sultan Bolkiah; Mother of Rajah Lontok and Rajah GatpandanRajah Gambang: David's third great grandfather; Father of Dayang KalangitanSultan Sulaiman: David's fourth great grandfather; Father of Sultan BolkiahSultan Amir Ul-Ombra: David's fourth great grandfather; Father of Lela MechanaiRajah Alon: David's fifth great grandfather; Son of Lakan TimamanukumLakan Timamanukum: David's 6th great grandfather; Father of Rajah Alon.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, Jr. who won the Philippine Presidency but was cheated by Gloria Arroyo, from the La Candola Clan of Arayat Pampanga, who was jailed later on the charges of election offenses and plunder. La Candola is a common hispanic /italian surname adopted by lots of Filipinos in different parts of the country.The Gatbonton Clan kept a ancient secret genealogy of the native Filipino royalty, to wit:This genealogy of the Gatbonton Clan shows the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley as direct descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo. As the leader of the Gatbonton Clan said: " 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 Dula 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."The descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo therefore can be traced by knowing the present descendants of his seven children, namely: Batang Dula, Martin Lakan Dula, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, Felipe Salonga, Maria Poloin and Luis Salugmoc. The family of Diosdado Macapagal is claiming descendancy from Lakan Dula of Tondo but they can not point out where in the Lakan Dula children did they come from. They always end up not with any children of Lakan Dula, but with a certain guy with a surname Lacandola from Arayat, Pampanga who turned out to be a traitor to the natives and pro Spaniards, whose one of the children is surnamed Reyes who married Juan Macapagal where the present Macapagal of Lubao came from. This is shown in the present Wikipedia article on Lakan Dula which is dominated by the paid hacks of the Macapagal but is boycotted by respected Philippine historians. Lacandola is a very common Filipino surname but to show that it is a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo, it must show that it came from one of the seven children of Lakan Dula. Maybe, the Macapagal came from Gatbonton Clan, whose great great grandfather is the "administrator of the rice granary of the Kingdom of Lakan Dula".Lots of native sounding Filipino surnames today, just like the Gatbontons, may have been descendants of the relatives of Lakan Dula who served in special capacity in the Kingdom of Lakan Dula.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 alleged great grandson Juan Macapagal (Wikipedia article points out that he is actually a descendant of certain Mr. Lacandola of Arayat who is a traitor to the natives and a proud pro Spaniards), 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.The Philippine Genealogical Society has the official list of these native Filipino surnames in its website at the related link. Each surname may have some family history that will show their designation or role in the Kingdom of Lakan Dula the way the Gotbonton Clan had documented from the past. One example of which is the surname Lacandola of Arayat who is proudly anti - native and pro Spaniards. Other native sounding surnames may have exciting histories.

Which branch of Lakan Dula descendants has Jewish blood?

The best way to answer this question is to try to list down the different branches of the descendants of Lakan Dula, the last king of the Kingdom of Manila, and from among these branches of descendants, who has the Jewish blood. Based on public knowledge, the following are the descendants of Lakan Dula: 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, 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 collaborated with the Spanish authority. (https://sites.google.com/site/dulayclan/Home) Based on this list of descendants, which of these surnames have Jewish blood? The history of Isla de Batag,Laoang, Northern Samar is colored with the arrivals of the Jewish,Spanish,Chinese and American adventurers who later intermarried with the descendants of David Dulay. The Isla de Batag , or its old name Isla de Batang, which is named after the eldest son of Lakan Dula, Batang Dula, is a strategic spot for settlers and up to now is a home of a lighthouse guiding the ships in the Pacific Ocean, being the first island that ships going to the old Kingdom of Manila would see or deck after a long trip in the Pacific Ocean; and just adjacent to Palapag, the shipping repair station during the Galleon Trade; and Catubig, the old provincial Spanish capital. One of the Jewish families who prospered in the island through the intermarriage with the descendants of David Dulay is the Mendoza Family, which is Sephardi Jew from Spain. The dialect spoken in the island is a Waray with some Jewish sounding words. Some of the relatives of the Mendoza family in the United States are up to now still attending Jewish congregations. This explains the fact that the present leaders of the "Angkan ng Dulay dito sa Lambak ng Marikina at Hilagang Samar" have a Jewish bloodline. The provincial name, Samar, is itself a Jewish in origin, which somewhat attest to the strong presence of the Sephardi Jews in the area. Therefore, as of the current level of research, it seems that the Dulay Branch of the Lakan Dula descendants have Jewish blood. Other branches might later discover that they have Jewish blood too.

Reign of the first born sons - what is this tradition among Lakan Dula descendants?

The reign of the first born son to the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North borneo is also followed to the last male heir successor to the throne , this is in conjunction to the traditional lineage of the Islamic Royal succession, the last male heir first born son has to continue the lineage to the throne. The unbroken hierarchy to the throne is successive to the three Royal rank to avoid confusion among the heir. The Sultan must have been a Rajah Mudah and Maharajah Adinda, without going through this process , there would be a chaos in the lineage to the throne as what claiming Sultan is doing now. The passed on relative to the throne cannot be a Sultan but Datu's only. This can be best explained if there are three brothers to the throne , the first two older brother son's are called passed on to the hierarchy because the last male heir successor oldest son will take place of the Sultan simply because the oldest son will be the Rajah Muda of his father. this is not contestable because even to the second brother , the first born son of the last male heir successor is the Maharajah Adinda and his father is the Rajah Muda of the second brother, this predictive pattern is one way and not transferrable to each other. Before the Spaniards came, native Filipinos have a very prosperous Kingdom, based in Intramuros, Manila. The natives called their king Lakan and the name of their last King is Dula. Lakan Dula is the first born son. He could never have been crowned Lakan if he is not the first born son. It was in Lakan Dula's era when Britain and Spain are fighting 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. Lakan Dula is the early attempt of the British to gain the trust of the native Manila aristocracy. In a book written by Rowena Reyes-Boquiren, Ph.D.,from the division of Social Sciences of University of the Philippines College Baguio, entitled HISTORY OF COLONIALISM AND STRUGGLE : LOCAL STREAMS IN PHILIPPINE NATIONALISM (Prepared for the 1999 Ibon Philippine Educators Training, ) Baguio City.), she said that the first uprising in Manila against Spain happened in 1571 in Marikina Valley in what is now known as Cainta, probably in the vicinity of Balanti, near the known settlement of Lakan Dula descendants in what is now known today as Jesus de la Pena. The full blown revolt of Lakan Dula happened three years later involving 10,000 natives and its spread form Manila to Cavite, Batangas and Mindoro. Take note that during the British invasion of Manila, the first ever election happened also in Marikina Valley and the British forces and deserters, mostly Sepoys, also escaped and settled in Cainta, showing the link of Lakan Dula to the British royalty. The British also participated in Philippine history when it befriended the Sultanate of Sulu and lease Sabah and manuevere it to be joined in the Malaysian Federation, which is under its control during those times. Today, the reign of the first born sons of the descendant of the Sultanate of Sulu is still uneasy with that maneuver of the British. The bloodline of the Sultanate is still intact, thru the first born sons. The lineage of the hierarchy has been broken when Dayang Dayang Hadji Piandao assume as the lady Sultan which was not allowed in the Islamic Royal Succession, when pressured , Dayang Dayang Hadji Piandao caused to substitute her husband Ombra Amil bangsa who also is not Kiram. this was coupled by another tragedy in the hierarchy when Abraham Rasul were asked by President Marcos while the reigning Rajah Mudah Punjungan Kiram was in Sabah,he instead pointed Mahakuttah Kiram, Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I is the brother of the late Mahakuttah . Both sons of Sultan Esmail Kiram has never been a Maharajah Adinda nor Rajah Mudah of their father because the next in line to the throne is the younger brother of their father Punjungan Kiram, Mahakuttah Abdulla Kiram (Sultan 1974-1986) was mistakenly assume the throne while Punjungan was in Sabah,he was the son of the late HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973), who gave the power of attorney to Philippine Pres. Diosdado Macapagal in 1962 then to Philippine Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos in 1969 for the Philippine Government to recover Sabah. His grandfather was HM Sultan Mawallil Wasit Kiram, successor to his brother HM Sultan Jamalul Kiram II (Sultan 1893-1936), childless, who died of poisoning. HM Sultan Mawallil Wasit Kiram ruled only for six (6) months due to death by poisoning in 1936, whereupon the throne was inherited by his first-born son HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I. The father of HM Jamalul Kiram II was HM Sultan Jamalul Ahlam Kiram who leased North Borneo (Sabah) to a British Company in 1878. HRH Prince Ezzarhaddon A. Kiram is the Crown Prince of the Royal Hashemite Sultanate of Sabah and is known as the Prince of Kota Kinabalu while his brother HRH Prince Al-mezzheer A. Kiram is the Crown Prince of the Royal Hashemite Sultanate of Sulu and is known as the Prince of Jolo. First born sons are traditional and hereditary leaders in most culture of the world. Even Jesus is a first born son. Recently, the Discovery Channel filmed Rameses: Wrath of God or Man?, in which a team of archeologists led by professor Kent Weeks will investigate the tomb of the princes of Rameses II, who is believed to be the Pharaoh of the Exodus. One of the findings to be shown on the program is the skull of Amun-her-khepeshef, whom Weeks identifies as the firstborn son of Rameses II. This shows how important the first born sons even during the time of the Egyptian pharaohs. First born sons are also valued in Scottish rites as shown in this excerpt: "On the advice of an expert, it is presumed that in this particular translation the Judge is the Almighty, who is being asked to understand what it is that makes it necessary for the owner of the sword to take a life in battle. For the purpose of greater simplicity, I always refer to the sword by the name that, throughout my life, I've most commonly heard it called ... Discerner. Traditionally, the custom of passing the sword from one generation to the next, always father to first born son, remained unbroken well into the 1600s." In Marikina Valley, where the Lakan Dula and British influence are very strong, the culture of installing the first born son as the leader of the clan was shown in the Mayorazgo Tuason, which appeared to be the only noble estate in the Philippines. The succession to the mayorazgo was based on male primogeniture (first born or eldest son). This was not only a Spanish policy but also a Chinese custom. In fact, Son-tua, the original surname of the Tuasons, means "eldest son." The first holder of the mayorazgo was Don Vicente Dolores Tuason. The hereditary and titular leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley is also an uninterrupted succession of the first born sons tracing back from way back sixth generation. The present leader is the 5th generation eldest son Sofronio l, and he is grooming his only son, Sofronio ll, as the sixth hereditary titular head of the clan. Ceferino Dulay, 4th generation head of the clan is a friend and ward leader of President Diosdado Macapagal, who is also a descendant of Lakan Dula. Ceferino settled in Marikina Valley from Tondo. Emiliano Guevara settled in Marikina Valley from Quiapo. Unlike the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley, the reigns of the first born sons of the Tuazon and Guevara Clans of Marikina Valley are now obscure. The reign of first born sons is prevalent in other clans and tribes in the Philippines as shown by this excerpt from the northern Philipppines,: "In his testimony, program recipient and partner Peter Bangngayon of the Tulgao tribe related how his family had been filled with hatred and absorbed in trying to avenge his father who was killed by a Basao member when he was still small. Being the first born son, the responsibility to revenge fell on his shoulder and he was then persistently prompted by his tribe mates to carry out that duty." How important then is the reign of the first born sons among the descendants of Lakan Dula. Technically speaking, if we can identify the present and current first born son of the long line of Lakan Dula descendants from the generation of Lakan Dula to the present, we have in a way identify the hereditary and titular head of the Kingdom of Manila, the way the Sultanate of Sulu was able to identify theirs. And the guy could just be mixing around with the people... never knowing his significance to the Filipino culture. Could he be Tom Dula…, of the Tom Dooley fame? The reigning first born son is just around us, he is probably from among the several Filipino clans who are tracing their roots from Lakan Dula. Is that important enough?
