Rajah Lakan Dula → Lakandula – Up to the 70s and 80s he was often erroneously referred to as Rajah Lakandula, but the terms "Rajah" and "Lakan" have the same meaning, making the use of both "Rajah" and "Lakandula" at the same time redundant. Current orthodox sources, such as William Henery Scott, Luis Camara Dery, and Ambeth Ocampo refer to him either as Lakan Dula or Lakandula. Nick Joaquin, in 1990 (Manila, My Manila: A History for the Young. Anvil Publishing) was particularly emphatic in calling attention to the redundancy. As for "Lakandula" (spelled as one word) versus "Lakan Dula" (split into two words), Lakandula had 242,000 google hits. Lakan Dula only had 66,0000. - Alternativity (talk) 10:35, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Support removing the "Rajah" from the article title. My opinion regarding the remainder would be to join it as one word; keeping the status quo for the remainder (Lakan Dula) works as well. &mdash; •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ•  Speak!  07:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Support to harmonize with scholarly works-- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Comment To be honest, I personally always refer to him, when writing, "Lakan Dula" spelled out separately. (Non-Filipino editors might benefit from knowing most Filipino speakers will say it the same way anyway, regardless of how it's spelled.) Because it spells out the nature of his rank, more recent scholarly works seem to prefer it spelled out (Dery,2001 for example). Those scholars who DO use the term as a single word (Lakandula) don't usually explain their reason for doing so and thus seem only to be deferring to common usage. The direct Legaspi accounts refer to him as "Sibunao Lacandola", mixing in the Tagalog pronoun "Si", which historians routinely separate, such that the single-word convention used by the Spanish has been thrown into question. However, as I pointed up above, Lakandula as a single word has more hits. (I ran a search again, this time specific to articles in English and excluding the word "Wikipedia". The results are the same, with Lakandula getting 144 000 hits and Lakan Dula spelled separately getting 63 700.)  What I'm NOT sure is whether there's enough merit in this specific case to override the policies set forth in WP:COMMONNAME. The move request was phrased with those Wikipedia policies in mind. Hm. Whichever we end up using, I suppose a viable compromise would be to use the other spelling in the lede. - Alternativity (talk) 08:04, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

SupportIt is proper that this article respects the proper way of naming a royal, which is title, first name and then surname. The title is Lakan, which according to Scott stands for "paramount ruler", the first name is Bunao, and the surname is Dula. So, by logic and common usage, the title of this article should be Lakan Bunao Dula. Any deviations from this normal way is a suspect of being a paid hack for a family that has for so long been attempting to change the name so that it will be nearer to their surname and therefore easier for them to claim lineage to Lakan Bunao Dula.

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Why cant we do the right thing. Lakan is the title (paramount ruler), Banao is the first name (according to the Spanish account) and Dula (an independent move from surname Bolkiah) is the last name. So, the right name is Lakan Banao Dula and not Rajah Lakan Dula or plain Lakandula. Who is controlling this Wikipedia page anyway? This page has become a laughing stock already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.57.52.42 (talk) 08:29, 6 January 2017 (UTC)


 * If you will change the name of the article, PLEASE DO NOT use the second common erroneous use of "Lakandula", it IS NOT, NOR EVER ONE TERM, IT IS TWO TERMS AND MUST BE USED AS SUCH "Lakan Dula", "Lakandula" is mere gibberish. Take note:  Lakan Dula is a title, NOT A PERSONAL NAME, so in this case, we refer to this specific Lakan Dula as "Lakan Dula Banao".--LakanBanwa (talk) 04:13, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

If you study the ancestry of Gloria Arroyo as recorded in the baptismal certificates in Arayat,Pampanga, their claim to Lakan Dula of Tondo lineage is through a girl with Reyes surname who married somebody with a surname Lacandola. Here is the list the children of Lakan Dula: Batang Dula, Martin Lakan Dula, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, Felipe Salonga, Luis Salugmoc and Maria Poloin. There is no one with a surname Reyes nor Lacandola. Maria Poloin married a guy with surname Talabos from where Jose Rizal came from. So, where is the link of Gloria Arroyo to Lakan Dula of Tondo? These facts are relevant to this article and must be considered by those who did not boycott this article, and by the Wikipedia itself because it might effect the credibility of the Wikipedia in the Philippines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.204.218.161 (talk) 01:25, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

On Archives and Archiving
This article was moved from Rajah Lakan Dula, whose talk page had recently been archived by an admin due to violations of WP:NOTOPINION and No_personal_attacks. Since this page(Lakandula)'s talk page has similar violations of WP:NOTOPINION (thankfully no violations of No_personal_attacks yet), I am proposing a moving of the contents of the previous talkpage (the content between the headers and the move request - or at least, the first two headings, since the last two headings, while speculative, do raise issues about sources.) to /Archive 2. However, I would rather not be the one to do any moving. Perhaps an admin? - Alternativity (talk) 21:29, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

untitled
We are all relieved that this article was finally renamed Lakandula because this is indeed an article about Lacandola Tall Tales of Lubao town in Pampanga. Then, there will be possibility of coming out with the correct article entitled Lakan Dula someday, where the Lakan Dula High School of Tondo was named after. It happened before, there was a Lakandula article and another article Rajah Lakan Dula. Then, the Lakandula article, because of fewer hits, was merged with this Rajah Lakan Dula article. Now, they changed the Rajah Lakan Dula article to Lakandula for a complete circle. Why do they renamed it to Lakandula, no historical reason..except that it is near to Lacandola, a common Filipino surname who happens to be one of the surnames of the grandfather of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who is now in jail for several cases. The family has paid hacks who do all these things. They are good in playing around the Wikipedia system.This latest efforts will backfire on them and will earn the hatred of the descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo, the patriots on descendants of Lacandola of Lubao, the traitors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.204.246.39 (talk) 13:06, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

The family of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo should realize that it is useless to mangle the name of Lakan Banao Dula to Lakandula/Lacandola because it will not give them lineage to Lakan Dula even if they are succesful in mangling the name. The only way to prove their lineage to Lakan Dula is to provide a direct lineage with one of the children of Lakan Dula. Among the children, nobody has the surname lacandola anyway, so, why mangle Lakan Dula with Lacandola when Lacandola will not give them the lineage that they need. In fact, it will only distance themselves with the Lakan Dula of Tondo heritage because they will be isolated and be identified as the Lacandola of Lubao, the traitor family and fake claimants to the lineage of Lakan Dula. Their latest tactic is to enter Luis Taclocmao as one of the children of Lakan dula of Tondo and claim direct lineage from him is a right move. And that move will not require mangling the name Lakan Dula to Lakandula/Lacandola because the efforts are not complimentary to each other..they are in opposite direction. Either they establish lineage through Taclocmao, or they pursue their Lacandola Tall Tales which unfortunately does not provide direct lineage from any children of Lakan Dula. The Dola Goiti y Dula lineage of Candola, San Luis, Pampanga  could be it, but the Macapagal Family can not find  a relative in Candola, San Luis, Pampanga with a surname Lacandola. The family of Gatbonton like JJMacam is spilling the beans all over town and internet, revealing the family secret that the macapagals are not really descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo...it is an internal family conflict but the revelation is damaging to the Macapagal. So, let us just maintain the title of this article to Lakandula for the people to see the efforts of the Macapagal Family of Lubao to link with Lakan Dula of Tondo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.50.227.107 (talk) 09:17, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Lakan Dula of Tondo is different from Carlos Lacandola of Arayat because they have a different set of children. The children of Lakan Dula of Tondo are Batang Dula, Felipe Salonga, Magat Salamat, Dionisio Capulong, Martin Lakan Dula and Maria Poloin. Carlos Lacandola has a grandson named Juan Macapagal y Reyes, meaning, the daughter of Carlos Lacandola has a surname Reyes but married a Macapagal that gave birth to Juan Macapagal y Reyes. Lakan Dula of Tondo has no daughter with surname Reyes as seen in the list above, because he has only one daughter, Maria Poloin. Therefore, Lakan Dula of Tondo and Carlos Lacandola of Arayat are two different people. Furtheremore, this Wikipedia article is not about Lakan Dula of Tondo but Carlos Lacandola of Arayat. Gloria Macpagal Arroyo is not a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo but of Carlos Lacandola of Arayat. We have uncovered a historical anomaly in the Philippines. Thanks Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.50.246.162 (talk) 07:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

It is possible that one of the grand daughters of Lakan Dula, Dola Goiti Dula from whom Candola (owned by Dola)of San Luis, Pampanga was named after, married somebody with a Reyes surname. Later, the Reyes family will have a daughter who married a Macapagal which gave birth to Juan Macapagal y Reyes. This could have been very possible and logical and fool proof, which will put the Macapagal Family the honor of being a direct descendant of the first - born son of Lakan Dula, Batang Dula. This could have settled every doubts if the Macapagal are really descendants of Lakan Dula or not. But the paid hackers of the Macapagal family are not seeing it that way. They are so illogically fixated in changing Lakan Dula with Lakandula and later Lacandola which only made the real descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo mad because it is insinuating that Lakan Dula of Tondo and Carlos Lacandola, the traitor from Arayat are the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.204.132.215 (talk) 08:40, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Lakan Dula, Banaw, and the Muhammed vandalization
No evidence was given to support his use of "Muhammed", vandalism... Also, Banaw or "Banao" was a personal name, so it would be properly used as "Lakan Dula Banaw/Banao" if need be used, otherwise, simple Lakan Dula, ALSO, "Lakan Dula" is a title as well as a dynasty, so therefore, there were previous Lakan Dulas before the last one, which IS this one.--LakanBanwa (talk) 00:28, 13 July 2012 (UTC) If Banao is the personal name, Lakan is the title which is according to Scott means "paramount ruler" and Dula is the   surname, the normal and logical sequence would have been Lakan Banao Dula (Title, First Name, Surname). Why are you insisting on the illogical Lakan Dula Banao. We know actually the reason, because by spelling it as Lakan Dula Banao, it will be nearer to the fake Carlos Lacandola of Arayat, the great grandfather of jailed former President Gloria Arroyo.The legitimate Philippine historians will continue to boycott this article, primarily for all the people to see how the paid writers of Gloria Arroyo will manage to somehow link Carlos Lacandola of Arayat with Lakan Dula of Tondo. Why cant you just connect with one of the children of Lakan Dula of Tondo to make your life simple. Afterall, all descendants of Lakan Dula came from the children of Lakan Dula. Maybe say that Carlos Lacandola of Arayat is the grandson of that guy that you invented...the Taclicmoc stuff? So, this last Lakan Dula which is the subject of this article is not really the Lakan Dula of Tondo? Then, we must have another separate Wikipedia article about the Lakan Dula of Tondo from whom the Lakan Dula High School was named. The distinction would be that this present article is about Carlos Lacandola of Arayat whose one of the daughter is surnamed Reyes and married a guy with a surname Macapagal and gave birth to Juan Macapagal y Reyes, the 10th generation great grandfather of President Gloria Arroyo. The Lakan Dula of Tondo has the following children: Batang Dula, Martin Lakan Dula, Magat Salamat, Felipe Capulong, Dionisio Salonga and Maria Poloin. Take note that Lakan Dula of Tondo has no daughter with a surname Reyes. Finally, the truth has come out. Thanks Wikipedia. 112.204.142.121 (talk) 16:26, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

The name Sibu nao Lakandula may be explained as follows- SIBU + Namo + LAKAN + Dula. Sibu is the name of the person which is a synonym for Lord Siva, Nao means  ' named ', Lakan= Lakhan - another proper noun derived from the name  'Lakshman ', the famous younger brother of Lord Sri Ram. Even today the first son born in a family is named after Ram and the second son is named as Lakhan. The word Dula is derived from the Tamil word ' Durai ' ( Dura/Dora ), which means a governor or a feudal Lord, who rules over a province as a representative of a King.( perhaps a Chola King of South India). But when the governor ( Durai) becomes independent he may assume the title of a Rajah. Thus it appears as though a person who was called SIBU and also as LAKHAN ruled as aDULA or governor of a Tamil King and subsequently when he became independent assumed the title of a  'Rajah '.117.195.253.74 (talk) 14:20, 9 April 2014 (UTC) B.K.Satyanarayana


 * This Lakan Dula specifically was from Tondo, if I'm not mistaken, all the "Lakan Dulas" are from Tondo... Now, if there was another nation with a ruler using "Lakan", but without "Dula" following it, then you have something to investigate there.--LakanBanwa (talk) 10:52, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Attention LakanBanwa, you are mistaken.There is only one Lakan Dula of Tondo. You are blinded by your own agenda. You are mistaken again, there is another ruler in the Philippine history that used the title Lakan. He is Lakan Timamanukum,father of Rajah Alon. Please stop your secret agenda of corrupting Philippine history by eventually linking Lakan Dula of Tondo with Carlos Lacandola of Arayat whose one of the daughters is surnamed Reyes and married a guy with a surname Macapagal and gave birth to Juan Macapagal y Reyes, the 10th generation great grandfather of President Gloria Arroyo. Lakan Dula of Tondo has no daughter with a surname Reyes. Lakan Dula of Tondo is not Carlos Lacandola of Arayat.

So was Lakan Dula an Animist or Muslim prior to Spanish arrival?
I've read the Wikipinas, it says Lakan Dula was a Muslim if not it also says one of his descendants Magat Salamat was a Muslim. 76.193.178.126 (talk) 20:46, 14 January 2013 (UTC)PacificWarrior101
 * According to Nick Joaquin in his book Manila, My Manila, the title of Lakan for Lakan Dula suggests that he is an animist. But since Rajah Sulayman was Muslim, it was suggested that he also tried Islam, but reverted back to animism. Arius1998 (talk) 13:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If according to Nick Joaquin in his book Manila, My Manila, the title is Lakan and Dula is the surname, hence Lakan Dula (which is also what Henry Scott said), then, why is the title of this article Lakandula, instead of Lakan Dula? Who are editors here who are pushing for the wrong Lakandula and who are too cavalier in editing this article and pushing for their agenda? What is there motive? Who will benefit from this intentional mistake?

If you research in the Geni.Com the name Dola Reyes, you will see the real and true family tree of Lakan Dula as confirmed by their real and true descendants in the present time. They refer to their great grand father Lakan Dula of Tondo as Lakan Dula and never lakandula/lacandula/lacandola. In fact, our historian Nick Joaquin is correct: it is Lakan Dula. But why is it that this article is still dominated by propagandist (not historians) who are paid to slant Lakan Dula of Tondo into Lacandola of Arayat by emphasizing Lakandula. Look at the title of this article. Everyone knows that Lakandula is wrong and yet, nobody is level headed enough to correct it. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WIKIPEDIA IS LOSING CREDIBILITY IN THE ACADEME BECAUSE IT CAN BE A CAPTIVE OF PEOPLE WITH HIDDEN AGENDA.IT CANNOT MAKE ITS OWN STAND TO CORRECT WHAT IS WRONG.

Is Gloria Arroyo a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo?
No. Gloria Arroyo is not descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo. She is a descendant of a certain Lacandola guy of Arayat. Lakan Dula of Tondo has seven children, namely: Batang Dula, Martin Lakan Dula, Magat Salamat, Felipe Salonga, Dionisio Capulong, Luis Salugmoc and Maria Poloin. None of the seven children has a surname Lacandola. So, the great grandfather of Gloria Arroyo with a surname Lacandola is not one of the children of Lakan Dula of Tondo nor one of the grand children. If the great grandfather of Gloria is not a descendant of the children nor grandchildren of Lakan Dula of Tondo, she must have descended from another person and not from Lakan Dula of Tondo, and therefore, the claim that Gloria Arroyo is a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo is fake and a historical plunder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.57.47.71 (talk) 03:44, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

As one of the requirements of the Spanish detachment in Lubao when he asked for more privileges to be given to his family, Juan Macapagal had to show some proofs of descent from the old Lord of Tondo to the doubting Spaniards. Juan Macapagal alleged that his parents were Capitan Don Gonzalo Capulong and Dona Maria Bina; Daba Capulong and Gonzalo Capulong were adopted children of the childless Don Dionisio Capulong, the eldest son of Don Carlos Lacandola of Lubao. There was no historical records in Lubao if the allegations of Juan Macapagal were honored by the local Spanish detachment in the absence of a birth or baptismal certificate, or if he was recognized as a son by Dionisio Capulong, or if it was discovered as a hoax by the local Spanish detachment and was arrested. Juan Macapagal had at least 3 brothers and a sister: Don Juan de Guevarra, Don Miguel Alfonso de Lapira, Don Nicolas Lacandola, and Dona Cathalina Bina. He himself had 5 children, who were Dona Maria Macapagal, Don Francisco Macapagal, Don Pablo Macapagal, Don Salvador Macapagal, and Don Piotenciano Macapagal (Source: Santiago, R.B.

I am a great grandson of Juan Macapagal.The eldest son of Lakan Dula is Batang Dula who was married to the relative of the de Goiti, the founder of Manila. The marriage gave birth to three children, the eldest is David de Goiti Dula, next is Daba de Goiti Dula and the youngest is Dola de Goiti Dula. The Lacandola of Arayat came from one of the grandchildren of Lakan Dula of Tondo named Dola, who is from San Luis, Pampanga. When she married, she insisted to use the surname Lacandola for her children to maintain connection with his grandfather from Tondo and partly, to hide from Spanish authorities. She has nine children and one of them married a Spanish mestizo surnamed Reyes. My grandfather used to tell me that we are the descendants of Dola, the grand daughter of Lakan Dula of Tondo. By the way, Dola, according to my grandfather, was jailed by the Spanish authority in her old age allegedly for feeding hungry revolutionaries.Dola adopted the surname Lacandola and Daba adopted the surname Capulong in honor of the family who took care of her when she escaped the bloody Spanish prosecution in Tondo.

According to how this article has turned out so far, after this was boycotted by legitimate historians, Juan Macapagal came from a certain Juan Gonzalo Capulong. A review of the records of birth certificates of Arayat reveals that Juan Macapagal has no ancestor with that name. This again put the link of the Macapagal to Lakan Dula of Tondo in doubt.

Even if the paid hackers of PGMA is succesful in changing the name of Lakan Dula of Tondo to Lakandula and later Lacandola (the surname of a lot of Filipinos including PGMA's grand lolo), it will still show that PGMA is not a descendant of Lakan Dula of Tondo because Lakan Dula of Tondo has no children that has a surname of Lacandola.

PROPER ACADEMIC CITATIONS
If we are to strictly apply the APA Manual on the citations here, a lot of sources here will not qualify because APA, now the global mainstream research standard requires the page number where the exact quotation was lifted. This is use for other researchers to be able to verify the exact sources, the exact quotation and the context from where it was quoted. Those quotes that were mentioned here but whose page number was not stated from the original sources should temporarily be removed until such time when the page number, as required by the APA Manual had been identified.This is also a way to make Wikipedia more acceptable to the academic community. The University of the Philippines for instances, is not comfortable with articles coming from Wikipedia and one reason for this is that a lot of the articles do not comply with the APA Manual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.204.203.238 (talk) 04:18, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE MACAPAGALS ARE NOT DESCENDANTS OF LAKAN BUNAO DULA OF TONDO
Based on the current Wikipedia Article about Juan Macapagal written by the Macapagal family of Lubao, it says: "As one of the requirements of the Spanish authorities when he asked for more privileges to be given to his family he had to show proof of descent from the old Lord of Tondo. In the records, it is shown that his parents were Capitan Don Gonzalo Capulong and Dona Maria Bina; Don Gonzalo Capulong was the son of Don Dionisio Capulong, the eldest son of Don Carlos Lacandola.[2] The signature of Don Dionisio Capulong (c. 1594-1607) was found in the UST archives Libro 22, as published by Alberto Santamaría in his article El “Baybayin” en el Archivo de Santo Tomas, in Unitas Vol. XVI No. 8, February 1938. Courtesy of Christopher Ray Miller, Ph.D., 2011."

So, Dionisio Capulong was born in 1594. Lakandula died in 1575 as per the Wikipedia Lakandula dominated by the Macapagal family. It is biologically impossible for a son to be born several years after the death of the father. Its now final, the Macapagal are not descendants of Lakandula or Carlos Lacandola. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.65.166 (talk) 14:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Watch out, they will try to look for other children of Lakan Bunao Dula of Tondo to link on after this conclusive historical findings. The lineage of Juan Macapagal will erase or revise the Juan Macapagal article on Wikipedia so that it will be forgotten, (but some websites have already copied them, too late), and start linking with other Lakandula children, maybe with Phelipe Salonga this time.Then the Macapagal "historians" will say that Phelipe Salonga has no children with the surname Salonga..all his children are Macapagals..thats what they did with Dionisio Capulong, no children has Capulong surname, according to Macapagal "historians". That is why the real Capulong lineage hates the Macapagal because they technically made the Capulong lineage extinct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.65.166 (talk) 02:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
