The Ancient Language of Lakan Dula of Tondo
Several foreign and local historians, linguists, and well known archeologists are theorizing that that ancient Tagalog which is closely similar to the Waray dialect presently spoken in the hinterland of Samar today is the official language of the pre-hispanic Kingdom of Tondo whose last reigning king is Lakan Dula.
One proof of this is expounded 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 can not 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:
Nabuká na ba? /
Labâ ma na lâ, dakit /
Nínu ma niya mangga /
Gakatkat hiya lâ ngay-an /
Bayâ ha dakit na, nu? /
Da kalág binagat, ha?
Interpreted roughly in English, it goes like:
Is it open now for sure? [the gateway to the spirit underworld]/
Take it as a gain already, dakit [Tag., balete] tree/
That [the soul] confused you for a mango tree/
[It] just crossed out of fear [to your domain] alone, is that so?/
Leave the dakit tree now, will you?/
Shame/Bring [back] the soul that you [were told to] encounter, okay?
Lakan Dula used ancient Tagalog/Waray dialect "Kan" (which means "owned") in designating a plantation or vast track of land with a settlement of loyal relatives and workers, for his children and grand children. Kan Daba (today's Candaba) is a tract of fertile land near Tondo but now part of Pampanga, was given to Daba. Kan David (now known as Candawid in Isla de Batag, Northern Samar), was the plantation given to David. Kan Dola (now known as Candola in San Luis, Pampanga) was assigned to Dola. Take note also that Daba, David and Dola all start with letter "D" which somehow shows a systematic design of Lakan Dula to keep tract of his ancestors and successors whom he has been sending to different places with known friendly settlers and relatives within the sea and rivers routes to keep them safe from the on - going Spanish prosecutions.

Where name Lakan Dula came from?
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.
What is the English of lakan dula?
According to the most comprehensive website ever about Lakan Dula, theLakan Dula: His True Story, (https://sites.google.com/site/truelakandula/jewish-1), Lakan is a pre-hispanic title of the king of Tondo, which is translated as the paramount ruler, or among all the rulers, he is the leader.Dula on the other hand is the name of the leader. In the pre - hispanic times, people has only one name which is his first name and surname at the same time. This is the reason why Lakan Dula of Tondo can never be Banao Lacandola of Lubao, Pampanga. Firstly, the latter has first name and surname which means that it is a person that was born long after the Spaniards ruled the country as seen by the fact that it is adopting a Spanish naming system.Dula has an English origin.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,Robert d'Ouilli ,who has British blood, a Lord of Manor from Oxfordshire who has a blood relation with the French Royal family where Henry Doylly, Lord Constable, circa 1190, with a bloodline of the French Monarchy, in the Norman civil war descended. 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. The surname Dula/Dulay therefore came from the British Aristocracy that somehow add color to the pre Hispanic Kingdom of Manila.

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?
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.
Who is Magat Salamat?
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.
Who is the parents of lakandula?
Lakandula, a prominent figure in Philippine history, was the son of Rajah Lakan Dula and a member of the nobility in the Tondo region during the Spanish colonial period. His heritage linked him to a lineage of local leaders recognized for their authority and influence before and during the arrival of the Spaniards. The title "Lakan" signifies nobility and leadership in the context of pre-colonial Filipino society.
Was Lakan Banaw Dula Baptized to Christianity?
Lakan Dula, is the last King of Manila before the kingdom was totally subdued by the Spanish authorities through a series of intense persecution of the native aristocracy. These persecutions forced the native aristocracy to leave their homeland Intramuros and escaped to friendly settlements in Candaba, San Luis in Pampanga, Pasig, Marikina, Antipolo, Samar, Cebu, North Cotabato, Pangasinan, Nueva Viscaya...mostly within the river and sea routes. The real name of Lakan Dula is Banao Dula but because he is the Lakan or, according to Henry Scott, the "paramount ruler", he became officially known as Lakan Banao Dula and much later Lakan Dula. His people in Tondo, Manila recognized this very vividly that is why they named a public school for him into Lakan Dula High School. Was he baptized into Christianity? There is no historical evidence that he was actually baptized. Some history books are telling that he died a Muslim, some are saying that he is an animist. There are evidences however that he tend to preserved his kingdom and bloodline down to his to the death. For one, he participated in series of secret meetings with non hispanic european royalties, with the British, planning for the restoration of his Lakanate. Lakan Dula has a British blood from Oxfordshire. Second, he initiated a well planned protective escaped of his children and grand children outside of Intramuros to friendly settlements just to protect his bloodline. Thirdly, there is no historical documents or evidenced that he was really baptized into Christianity. There is no baptismal certificate to show that he was actually baptized, otherwise, that baptismal certificate would had been kept securely and propagated by the Spaniards to the natives and use it as a come on for them to join Christianity. Fourthly, if he was baptized, he would have used his new surname for his children, but records show that his children has different surnames: Batang Dula, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, Felipe Salonga, Martin Lakandula, and Maria Poloin. The use of different surnames aside from his legal surname Dula is still a historical mystery up to now. Also, it is very unkingly for Lakan Dula to agree to changed his name, if ever he was indeed baptized, because Spaniards may force him to drop the title Lakan in his name in the process and practically reduce him to plain common man. Therefore, Lakan Dula, in the absence of historical evidences that he was indeed baptized to Christianity should be referred to in history as Lakan Banao Dula (title, first name and surname) as a sign of respect Filipino history and identity. This will also avoid claims of some corrupt Filipino families that Lakan Banao Dula was baptised as Eddie Gil, or Carlos Lacandola, or Joaquin Ayala, or Dencio Edralin, or Honorato Aquino,or Miguel Araneta, or Perfecto Tuason just to start a long shot claim to the lineage of Lakan Dula of Tondo and declare their family as Royal blooded. A claim to the lineage of Lakan Dula should be properly addressed through the lineage from his children and not from a claim that Lakan Dula changed his name and because his new name is similar to your surname, you are now a royal blood. A family from Lubao, Pampanga whose leader is in jail, has done this cheap way of connection to Lakan Dula through one article in an audience edited Wikipedia which offended the real descendants of Lakan Dula.

Who is Rajah Sulayman?
Sulayman, sometimes referred to as Sulayman III (Arabic script: سليمان, Abecedario: Solimán) (1558–1575),[1] was a Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Luzon in the 16th century and was a nephew of King Ache of Luzon. He was the commander of Luzonian forces in the battle of Manila of 1570 against Spanish forces. His palace was within the walled and fortified city of Manila.[2][3][4] Sulayman – along with his uncle King Ache and Lakan Dula, who ruled the adjacent kingdom or principality of Tondo – was one of the three rulers who dealt with the Spanish in the battle of Manila of 1570. The Spanish described him as the most aggressive one due to his youth relative to the other two rulers.[3][4] The last king of Tondo, Lakandula, came from the House of Dula. He was the paramount ruler of Tondo when the Spaniards first conquered the lands of the Pasig River delta in the Philippines in the 1570s. Lakandula was a wise and just ruler, and he was respected by his people. He was also a skilled diplomat, and he was able to negotiate a peaceful surrender to the Spaniards. The House of Dula is one of the oldest and most respected royal houses in the Philippines. It is said to have been founded by a mythical hero named Lakan Timamanukum. The House of Dula has produced many great leaders over the centuries, including Lakandula, Rajah Sulayman, and the Macapagal family. The current head of the House of Dula is Sofronio Dulay. He is a descendant of Lakandula and a respected member of the Filipino community. He is also the founder of the United Royal Houses of the Philippines, an organization that promotes the preservation of Philippine culture and heritage. Sulayman's adoptive son, baptised Agustin de Legaspi upon conversion to Christianity, was proclaimed the sovereign ruler of Tondo upon the death of Lakan Dula. He along with most of Lakan Dula's sons and most of Sulayman's other adoptive sons were executed by the Spanish after being implicated in an assembly to overturn Spanish rule in Manila. This execution helped the Kingdom of the Spains and the Indies fortify its rule on parts of Luzon.[4]
