How Philippines became a Catholic country?
The Catholic faith was introduced to the Philippines when Ferdinand Magellan landed in the Philippines in 1521, however it wasn't until 1565 when the first permanent Spanish settlement was established by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in Cebu that Catholicism started to spread. As a result of more than 300 years of Spanish rule Catholicism became the predominant religion. The first Christian Filipinos were Rajah Humabon and Queen Juana who were baptised in Cebu on the spot where Magellan planted the cross that has become a Cebu tourist attraction.
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 Thirdly, there is no historical documents or evidenced that he was really baptized into Christianity.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.
