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.
What else can I help you with?
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. What is the meaning of that word in English? Traitor? Fake? What?. "
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?
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.
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.

Why is the Lineage of the First Born Sons important to the Lakan Dula descendants?
Perhaps only the descendants can answer this question.

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.
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.
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
