Esdee was an Interbarangay Basketball Player of San Roque and a Varsity Player of Marist. He wants to be a corporate lawyer someday.Together with his causins SK Kgd Catherine Dulay of Marikina Heights and Sk Kgd Melvin John Dulay of Calumpang, they are the next bunch of Dulay Clan members in Marikina politics. http://www.facebook.com/groups/419241528116282/.

Prof. Toti Dulay talks with around 100 people in a depressed area in E.de Guzman St., in Concepcion Uno after Willy Fred Amacio, Kabayani Parang Chairman and Dennis Alexander Villoso, Magdalo Group leader of Marikina delivered their talks. A group of Batang Coop officers and members are denouncing the city hall for neglecting them. The CDM Foundation provided them food and  some games, bingo social.

GRASSROOTS ISSUES,PICNIC AND BINGO: Prof. Toti Dulay and businessman Willy Fred Amacio  together with  Chris Llabres, Senyong Gonzales, Ricky Khoo and Boy Nepomuceno is embarking on a series of consultations directly with the people in different barangays in the second district of Marikina to hear directly from the masses their pressing concern through picnic and bingo. In this picnic held in a depressed area in Nangka, the concern is the 90 meters rumored easement from the river. Prof. Dulay and Amacio suggested that people should work directly with CMP because it will helped them purchase the lot, deal with the local government and the owners of the lot. Then, Prof. Dulay met with Councilor Boggs Reyes at Chowking Marikina Heights to clear some issues ; before proceeding to the General Assembly of Holy Family Credit Cooperative in Parang where Prof. Dulay pledged to invest P10,000 and encouraged everyone to invest too by transferring their savings from the bank to cooperative where you earn bigger interest at the same time help the community. Then, the group of Prof. Dulay and Amacio went to their HQ in Parang to plan for next activities before meeting with Ofre Yuraba Corpuz, the vice chairman of Herbosa Homeowners Association and Chairman of Holy Family Credit Cooperative.

 

Descendancy Trust Fund (DTF)

This trust fund is created to ensure the continuity of the tra- ditional leadership and administration of the descendancy. Along side with this is the continuous research and propagation on the history, culture, symbols, artifacts, traditions, legend, myth and practices revolving around Lakan Dula of Tondo and his current descendants. Donations to DTF is welcome from among the descendants and non-descendants alike, however, it does not accept anonymous donations because it is a policy to prepare a list of DTF donors which we is called "founders group". If a donor wanted to be an anonymous, he must personally inform the hereditary leader at the ancestral house in Marikina Valley of his identity before his donation is accepted. Donations may be rejected if it will put the descendancy into a compromised light. The CDM Foundation is not actively campaigning for the DTF Project from sources outside of the clan since for the past years, it had been independently and silently pursuing projects with funds coming from the children and grand children of Ceferino Rivas Dulay.

BE THE CHAMPION OF THE POOR: CDM Foundation President Sofronio Dulay, in one of the affairs in Malacanang Palace in Manila, the Official Residence of the Philippine President. His philosopshy has always been   be the "beggar for the poor", meaning, equalize rich and poor by negotiating resources from the rich towards the poor.

EXTERNAL RESOURCES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARIKINA: the strategy is to network for resources outside of Marikina and bring it down inside Marikina...long term...this is one of the topics discussed at 

the Dulay ancestral house among Prof. Toti Dulay; Prof. Ester Mendoza; Master - Conec, Inc. SVP Ester Susan Dulay (daughter of Quirino Governor Orlando Dulay);

Judge Crisanto Cornejo (former President of Nationalista Party and national president of National Fraternal of Eagles and son of Mayor Miguel Cornejo of Pasay City) and Roger Notarte, Project Director of the CDM Foundation. Before the dinner, we did the "Dine with the  Ancestor Ritual" of red wine and grapes among Dulay Clan members.After dinner, we did bonding in the videokee with old songs....it was a nice evening of true friendship...

 

BE LOYAL TO YOUR INSTITUTION. As a professional consultant of Marikina Mayor Marides Carlos Fernando, CDM President Toti Dulay tried to initiate pro - poor projects  like the Grameen Bank type of savings and loan association, Habitat For Humanity Housing Project, Kundiman Contest,  no placement fee going abroad for poor marikenos, child welfare projects, etc.. As a consultant, he learned his lessons dealing with bureaucratic red tape and kuskos balungos...he maintained his cool and did not push for things that can not be done at the level of readiness of the people around him. He learned to accept the facts of life.

THANKSGIVING: at the height of the Habagat, we posted the Oratio Imperata in all major FB groups in Marikina and requested everyone to pray it. At my house, we prayed to Our Lady of the Abandoned the said prayer. The water level of the river went down. It was well documented in Marikina News including the comments as water level is slowly subsiding. I discussed this phenomenon with Fr. Buco, Fr. Estrada and Fr. Lagrimas and the consensus is that it may help in documenting the miracles of our shrine, needed in its bid to become a Cathedral. In the picture, Kabayani Vice Chairman Marion Andres and Hester Cheng, and others, celebrated the thanksgiving at the residence of Prof. Toti Dulay. Center picture shows Prof. Carmela Ibanez of the CDM Foundation donating to the Kabayani /I-Toti Mo Na Yan Relief Operations. At the third picture, Prof. Dulay holding their family poodle together with other members of the I-Toti ExeCom, during the simple thanksgiving.

The Globalist Manifesto Project

This project is an advocacy campaign for the propagation of The Globalist Manifesto. The manifesto was formulated in a classroom of the Asian Institute of Management. It paints a vision for the future world and prescribed 10 stages towards the formation of a global government. According to a Jewish scholar Avner Falk, in his book entitled "Islamic Terror: Conscious and Unconscious Motives" (2008,pp.46-46), a proactive form of globalization is emerging, spawned by international corporations that wish to loosen trade restrictions. It is the global financial firms that have been the most eager proponents of this expansion. A group of advocates from different parts of the world had been pushing for an integrated global society as envisioned in the Globalist Manifesto which is the foundation of globalism ideology.Globalization is supposed to have shaken up the traditional Muslim world and put it under siege (Ahmed and Donnan 1994; Mohammadi and Saltford 2002; Ahmed 2003). Yet the idealist Globalist Manifesto, created in the Philippines, is a paean to peace and prosperity. It paints an idealized picture of our world. It is wishful thinking at its most glaring.[1]

Dulay Clan Educational Ranking Project

Dulay Clan values education. To put that value into practice, the CDM Foundation helps and coordinates clan members to pursue education. It also releases an annual ranking of clan members based on education. The ranking only includes the direct bloodline of Ceferino who are in the college level.This is to encourage all members of Dulay Clan and descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo to study hard. This is in accordance with the teaching of Ceferino Rivas Dulay on education which goes something like this: "Education is a necessity. Securing the education of your children is just like teaching them how to look for food when you are gone. No matter how fashionable or cocky you are, if you have no education, you are nothing. So, the best way to be popular and respected is to have good education. The higher the education, the better is the school, the better is the course - the better. Graduate with honors. Go for masteral and doctoral."

Lakan Dula Descendants Project

        The projects aims to develop consciousness on pre - hispanic aristocracy among modern Filipinos. It creates awareness  on this identity and efforts are being initiated to identify and communicate individuals and families whose family history includes connection with Lakan Dula of Tondo, in one way or another. The Philippine history would say that the Spanish persecutions of the descendants of Lakan Dula continued and intensified, but a lot of descendants loyal to the  Lakan 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.

Descendants of Lakan Dula: CDM Foun dation President Toti Dulay was invited as a witness to the graduation of Fr. Blas Dula Lagrimas, as a priest at the Recoletos School of Theology. Fr. Blas is one of the Descendants of Lakan Dula. I am happy and relieved. Happy because our family has produced another priest. Relieved because our regular financial assistant to his studies will be over and channel them to other people who may need assistance. Thanks God for everything. http://www.facebook.com/groups/111695462280580/

MASTERAL THESIS...
Fr. Blas Dula Lag rimas, just finished priest hood.He wants to pursue his masteral.The Dulay Family will continue supporting him. I requested him however to make his masteral thesis about the evangelization of Lakan Dula and his descendants. Was he baptized into Catholicsm? Is there a baptismal certificate to show? If yes, what was the Christian name he used? What is the history of Isla de Batag and Candawid in Samar and Samara, in Aringay. What was the name of the son of David Dula y Goiti who left Candawid in Samar, and married a pretty girl from La Union which started the Dulay Clan in Samara, Aringay and spread out to became the Dulay of the north.

 

DESCENDANTS OF LAKAN DULA: Fr. Blas Dula Lagrimas is explai ning to Prof. Toti Dulay his initial indings about his Masteral Thesis in San Sebastian about the "Evangelization of the Descendants of Lakan Dula". Fr. Lagrimas has been supported by the CDM Foundation on his study of priesthood and now, masteral degree. One of his findings is that former Mayor Hilario Dulay, father of Mayor Eleuterio Dulay of Laoang, Northern Samar inherited tracts of land from the estate of David Dula y Goiti in Candawid (Kan David), Isla de Batag, Laoang, but he gave it back to the estate later controlled by the the family of Candawid Barangay Kap.Macario Dulay. David Dula y Goiti is a grandson of Lakan Dula and the financier of the Sumuroy Revolt. This is a proof that the Dulay of Laoang, Samar all came from Candawid. Another findings is that Lakan Dula of Tondo is different from Carlos Lacandola of Arayat, Pampanga, because they have a different set of children. Carlos Lacandola is the great great grandfather of PGMA.

Copies of the book on Lakan Dula is available at the CDM Foundation office at the Dulay ancestral house for the  members of the Dulay Clan who visits their ancestral house. Revisons will be done defending on the findings of Fr. Blas Dula Lagrimas.

FAMILY HISTORIES ACCREDITATION

The CDM Foundation will help you review your family history and accredit it if its within the Lakan Dula Kingdom. If the family history does not seem to be related with the kingdom, our clan historians will suggest further research.

The Descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo are united, their unassuming secretive patriarch does not rule, he reigns privately.Their unassuming secretive patriarch of the modern times does not rule, he reigns privately, the personal leadership style he inherited from the earlier traditional leaders of the descendancy,  a reaction from the centuries of Spanish persecutions. He might even deny his historical role or point to somebody else when talking to non descendants or in public.

The 25 Teachings of the Descendancy Beliefs

I         In the tomb of Ceferino Dulay recently found in the secret cemetery of the Our Lady of the Abandoned at the poblacion of Marikina Valley, this epitaph is written in a black marble stone: Ceferino Rivas Dulay: the 4th Hereditary Leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley".  The tomb has been secretly guarded by the descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo. Historical records show that Ceferino Dulay is the eldest son who descended from the eldest son of Lakan Dula of Tondo, the ancient King of Manila. The bloodline of the succession of the eldest son of the Lakan Dula descendancy apparently is in Ceferino. The bloodline of Lakan Dula of Tondo is carried by prominent Filipinos of the modern times. To some descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo, Ceferino is their patriarch when he was alive. He is the traditional leader of the Lakan Dula Clan, the hereditary head of the growing Lakan Dula of Tondo bloodline, descendancy and their allies. An article in a highly conservative site of prominent Filipinos mentioned Ceferino Rivas Dulay in passing. "The Tioco family was a very rich and generous family from Old Tondo. They owned numerous fishing boats in Tondo and Malabon. Siblings Balbino Tioco and Romana Tioco were illustrious citizens and famous Tondo benefactors of the 19th century.Balbino’s son Maximiano was kidnapped in the late 19th century and ransomed for 3 “kaings” of gold. Maximiano was married to a spanish mestiza Marciana Félix (same Félix family as Joji Félix Velarde and Conchita Félix wife of Felipe Calderón of the Malolos Constitution).Maximiano married Teodorica Ylo (The Cabangis family are also descended from the Ylo’s) They bore 5 children, Nemesio, Salvador, “Beot”, Guadalupe (married to Don Eduardo Barretto), Consuelo (married to Dr Rufino Mendoza, son of Don Isabelo Mendoza de Villablanca, a direct descendant of the spaniard Don Benito Mendoza, first gobernadorcillo of Mariquina in 1787. Benito’s descendant Juana Mendoza Cerbito married Ceferino Dulay, a patriarch of the Rajah Lakan Dula/Dulay Clan. Long after the family had left Old Tondo for the plush villages of Makati and other parts of Manila, there remains Calle Romana* in honor of Romana Tioco, and Calle Tioco* in honor of Balbino and Romana, two personages of the same family in gratitude for their inexhaustible generosity to Tondo (Daluyan, 2010)."

The Descendancy , originally, refers to the bloodline of Lakan Dula to the present generation. At present, the descendancy belief system is a collective belief taken from the past generations -- some sort of the wisdom of the past. The wisdom of the descendancy are the spoken words of the different patriarchs of the bloodline, in the successions of times and generations, passed on among the different patriarchs of the descendancy from Lakan Dula to the present patriarch. The patriarchs or the “eldest sons of the eldest sons” of the bloodline--starting from Lakan Dula, to Batang Dula, to David Dula y Goiti all the way to the different patriarchs of the their  own generations down to Ceferino Rivas Dulay into the present generation--have come out with a collective wisdom. This set of wisdoms is now known as the “Teachings of the Descendancy”.

Since the Descendancy Teachings are just added to the existing  teachings of the present religions, the descendants can be classified sa Catholic Descendancy, Muslim Descendancy, Jewish Descendancy, Buddhist Descendancy, Hindu Descendancy, Protestant Descendancy, Mormon Descendancy, etc. The world descendancy and its teachings will unite all religions in the world hence, will eventually prevent religious war and fanaticism. It will make the humanity more humane and understanding.

1. Religion

    Be faithful to your religion, no matter what sect or group it is. Consider it as your social group, an extension of your family. Be tolerant on the religions of others as you are tolerant to the families of your neighbors. Do not change their beliefs. Respect them. Dont push the beliefs of the descendancy on them. God will make them understand Him naturally. But be ready to inform them and explain to them our beliefs. Do not attempt to unite your brothers and sisters under one religion. In fact, consider it a blessing or added strength of your family if your brothers and sisters belongs to the other sects and they are very active on their church activities. Let’s be united as descendants sharing same history and heritage and beliefs; and view religious groups as our network for the betterment of the descendants. An example of this are members of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley: Dante Mendoza of Nangka, Marikina is a Jewish in California, Siony Dulay of Friendly Village in Marikina is an Iglesia ni Cristo in Seattle, Toti Dulay of San Roque, Marikina Valley is a devoted Roman Catholic, Alfreda Dulay Lana of Marikina Heights belongs to the Seventh Day Adventist. But all of them are united under the Dulay Clan. Religion therefore should not divide the descendants but rather provide the descendants and believers with additional network who could help them in times of needs. Descendants are common friends of all religions.

2. Family, Clan, Bloodline and Descendancy

    Family is important. Jobs, business, education, love life, etc, can be adjusted for the interest of the family. Family is the sanctuary of its members. It should be full of love and freedom. Members should be loyal and faithful to each other. Family should be the basis of success. The eldest son (in the absence of the son, the eldest daughter) should act as the leader/rabbi/pastor of his brothers and sisters, their wives and husbands, their children and their wives and husbands. The siblings and the parents should prepare him for this in - born role by giving him the best education possible and educating him about the history of the clan, the bloodline and the descendancy. The leader of the family has the duty to be good in life, prosperous and well connected so that he can provide good image and protect the bloodline under his care. The eldest son of the eldest of the eldest son--the further way back from the bloodline will always be the unifying symbol of the family, bloodline and descendancy. Historically, Lakan Dula of Tondo has seven children: the eldest is Batang Dula, next is Felipe Salonga, then Dionisio Capulong, then, Magat Salamat, then, Martin Lakan Dula, then Luis Salugmoc and finally, Maria Poloin. Batang Dula has three children: David Dula y de Goiti, Daba Dula y de Goiti and Dola Dula y de Goiti. Each person carrying a Lakan Dula bloodline must have a titular leader which is his oldest brother and that oldest brother must have a titular leader which is the oldest son of his oldest uncle. The oldest son of his oldest uncle must have a leader, which is the oldest son of the oldest uncle too. This is easy because everyone has an oldest uncle and the oldest uncle always have an oldest son. This system is necessary to make everyone with Lakan Dula bloodline accounted, protected and supported by his closest family member. With this system, there is no reason for any member of the Lakan Dula bloodline to be poor and uneducated because the leader of the family and group of families are mandated by the secretive central Lakan Dula Descendancy to help or coordinate help for any member in need. The Central Lakan Dula Descendancy must keep a historical record of the duly recognized family/families leader/rabbi/pastor and their family tree. Each leader/ rabbi/ pastor must keep a family tree of bloodline under his leadership with copies provided to each and every member.

3. Education

    Education is a necessity. Securing the education of your children is just like teaching them how to look for food when you are gone. No matter how fashionable or cocky you are, if you have no education, you are nothing. So, the best way to be popular and respected is to have good education. The higher the education, the better is the school, the better is the course - the better. Graduate with honors. Go for master’s degree and doctoral.

4. Career

    Love your career, whatever it is. A person without career is just like an animal who does not have a regular pasture to feed himself. Avoid the habit of always looking for new job when all you need is to be good in the present job. Be loyal to your company and to your bosses. Consider them as part of your family.

5. Love Life

    Follow your heart but use your brain. In case of confusion, the brain should prevail. Loving feeling may change even on flimsy reasons, but the brains analytical reasons on why you love a person will always be there. Do not be too romantic but be prosperous enough to make sure that romance will stay between you and your love.

6. Politics

    Politics should be the descendant’s way of life. It is a healthy sign that we care for other people. Every descendant should join politics because politics is public service. It should be the concern of the descendants to improve the public service in the country.

7. Friendship

    Be a true friend and seek for real friendship. Avoid frenemies and traitors.  They will hit you given an opportunity. Value your true friends as part of your family. Do not be too sentimental but be consistent with your friendship.

8. Ethical Life

    Do not live at the expense of other people. Have a mental set of a giver and not of a taker. Having that mental set will force you to work harder and therefore will make you prosperous in the long run. Do not use others such that the others that you use will become poor and you will become rich. Make sure that those you use will also benefit in the relationship. Learn to plant before you harvest. Do not expect people to be friendly and helpful to you when you are not friendly and helpful to them. Do not ever think of disturbing fellow descendants if you could do it by your own. This is also a way to help the whole descendancy because you will spare other fellow descendants from spending time and resources for you which they could have given to those descendants who are really in need. Huwag maging balasubas. Pay your debts. Do not be ashamed to borrow, even billionaires do borrow money. What is important is you pay what you borrow.

9. Genetics

    Try to fall in love and bear child with somebody different from your racial stock--the further the difference the better. This is to make sure that the future descendants will capture the best characteristics of the dominant genes of all races. Interracial marriages are encouraged but maintain your patriotism to the descendancy.

10. Business

    Every descendant must sell something: goods or professional service. Always remember that you can get rich in any business if you just stick to it and do your best. Business is a way of life. We should learn to respect and admire entrepreneurs because they sacrifice their name, honor and time to put together people, money, machine and methods to provide products, services, and jobs. Anyone who has no passion or leaning to any business or professional service is less helpful to your fellow descendants because who will end up as beneficiary instead of donors. Do not be: di ka na nga nakakatulong, nakakaperwisyo ka pa.

11. Houses

    Houses are not only a home but a statement of who we are. Therefore, the house should show character: clean, honest, healthy, patriotic, good taste, full of history, and culture. Old bahay na bato houses in the poblacions show our heritage. Fill the house not with fads and cheap stuff but with expensive heirloom.

12. Food

    Always go for nutritious food and balanced diet.  Prices of food is not the consideration but the nutritional and health value. Descendants should also eat food that has strong cultural sense as a way of saying that our culture is right inside our body.

13. Fashion

    Descendants should aspire to be clean, neat, logical and honest looking in the way they dress. Let’s go more on classic dressing than fad dressing. For instance, why will someone wear hat when it is not raining or there is no heat of the sun to avoid. There should be logical reason why we are wearing clothes and accessories.

14. Hygiene

    Cleanliness in and out of your body is a necessity.  The descendants should smell good not because of perfume but because of good and consistent hygiene. Take a bath at least once a day, brush your teeth after every meal and move your bowel every morning.

15. Health

    Exercise regularly and concentrate on joints: neck, waist, knee. Sleep 8 hours per day. Drink plenty of water. Avoid taking too many medicines, drugs, and chemicals - balanced diet is a good way. Vitamin C is important so eat fruits like guyabano, banana, and dalandan.

16. Adopt a town or city

    Be loyal to the town or city where you decided to settle down. Make sure that your children have the same feeling of loyalty. Be part of the society of the city you adopted and cultivate close relationship with the key economic, social, religious and political family of the town or city you adopted.

17. Envy and Jealousy

    Avoid envy, jealousy and the Waray term "uba" which is partly envy and partly wondering why someone is doing better than you that you want to cut him down. Be happy for the success of fellow descendants. The way they relate with other people does not mean they love you less, maybe they love you more that is why they relate to other people in a certain way to access good things for you.

18. Competition

    Do not be overly competitive to the point that you compete even on small things. Do not compete with others. Compete with yourself--with your own records. Recognize the fact that people are created differently so each one of us has different sets of strengths and weaknesses.

19. Humility

    Being humble should be the way of life of the descendants. Walang nawawala sa gumagalang. Being respectful will not cost you anything. It is a basic human nature to protect and conserve the humble because they do not bite and they are easy to talk to. People wants to cut down to standard size the cocky and haughty.

20. Courage and Bravery

    Kung talagang matapang ka, mag sundalo ka. Courage and bravery should be put in a good use like in defending a country, in putting up a business, in running for political office and in defending a friend or a family member. Bravery just to catch attention or in pursuance of a stupid endeavor is a sign of being less human or outright low in the head.

21. Nationalism and Patriotism

    Do not allow yourself to be called leftist or rightist because the true patriots are the centrist. A leftist follows the dictate of the communist countries like China, a rightist follows the dictate of the imperialist country like the US. Since both of the leftists and the rightists follow the dictate of foreign countries towards our people and our government, then, being a leftist and a rightist means you are a traitor. The true patriots are those who put up business to provide jobs for his neighbor, those who help his neighbor in time of problems, those who buy our own products, who pay their proper taxes, those who speak well for our county and our people and those who work hard because by doing so, there will be one more productive person in the country.

22. God

    Believe in God, Araw City (paradise)  and the angelized and loving spirits of your dead parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. They are part of the inner strength of the descendants. We are the chosen people of God. God created us for a very special mission that only God knows but is written in the circumstantial way the descendants emerged in this time of human civilization. We are well loved by the Araw City (paradise) and the angelic spirits of our dead parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. Same way when we die, we will aspire to be angels who will protect and nurture the fellow descendants who are still alive. God really exists and science has proven this. Different religions have different names for God, but there is only one God. God implanted His existence in our minds. There are people whom God intentionally put small connecting implantation and they are known today as atheists.

23. Unity

    Lets be united on the belief that we are the descendants of one unique bloodline coming from France; to England; to Tondo, Manila; to Isla de Batang, Laoang, Samar; to Samara, Aringay, La Union and to all corners of our nation like Pampanga, Pangasinan, Quirino, Mindanao, and the globe... and back to Metro Manila through a chosen land called Marikina Valley. Those who believes in the teachings of the descendancy are the advanced people of God as seen in the circumstances of our emergence. That we respect and honor our history, lineage and hereditary leaders. That we are protected by God, Araw City (paradise) and angelized spirits of our dead forefathers, grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters. We love them so much. They love us so much the way angels love. We believe in our own culture, myths and legends. These set of beliefs is our main strength. If you do not believe on these, maybe the message is not addressed to your soul because you are not part of the bloodline in the secret circumstances of your birth as a person, you will not benefit from it as the rest of the true descendants have benefited. The Jews believes that they are the chosen people and they benefited from that belief, God wants us to do the same as descendants.

24. The Future

    There will only be One Government for the whole world as per the Globalist Manifesto and some descendants will play important role in the world government. Great leaders and talents in different fields will emerge from among the descendants, being a chosen people of God. The practice of extreme religious tolerance of the descendants will become a way of life for the people of the world thereby making religion as less influential in harming other people but will be seen as one of those social organizations ready to help others; an institution humbly struggling for public acceptance amidst multitude of competitors fighting for public attention. God will allow revisions of the Bible to erase illogical entries like the coming of 666 which is unnecessary, and some other passages that do not show essence of humanness of human race which is basically rooted on rationality as expounded in the Theory of Divine Revision. There will be one Universal Religion believing in One God called by different names and defined by different teachings of different religions--a universal religion with the present major religions as it's composite subsets. The intermarriages of different races will give way to the emergence of a Universal Race whose members trace their race not to only one race but to several combinations of races - the more the combination, the greater is his degree of a universal race, the more he will become tolerant of diversity. The descendants will eventually be a model of a universal race.

25. Ritual

The Descendancy revolves around believers of the teachings and the Lakan Dula bloodline carriers. But to become a Haj of the Descendancy, both believers of the teachings and the carriers of the bloodlines must complete the Haj Ritual of the Descendancy. The ritual requires that potential Haj should first of all internalize the Teachings of the Descendancy to the point that he can explain them to ordinary Lakan Dula descendants. He must pray at the Chamber of Our Lady of the Abandoned at the OLA Shrine in Marikina Valley. The silent prayer is for more prosperous belongingness to the descendancy and the gift to lead the descendants. Visit the tomb of Ceferino Rivas Dulay in a secret cemetery of the church and silently talk to his soul for a gift of leadership. Do the Dine with the Ancestors secret ritual in the nearby house of the Dulay Clan in Marikina Valley. Finally, the patriarch’s handwritten listing of your name to the Patriarch’ Personal List of Haj of the Descendants. The first step towards a journey of becoming a Haj of the Descendancy is to read and internalize the 25 teachings of the descendancy and write a letter to the patriarch of the Lakan Dula descendants of your intention to go to the process of becoming a Haj. The schedule and procedures will then be communicated to you. The official list of the Hajs is kept personally by the patriarch. The hajs are expected to be addressed as one of the leaders of the descendancy in his locality and is authorized by the descendancy to head a community of believers.

Descendants of Lakan Dula

"Dine with the Ancestors" ritual among the descendants of Lakan Dula held at the clan house of the "Angkan ng Dulay sa Lambak ng Marikina": the host Toti Dulay is talking to his insans Teofilo Dulay Jr. (Warlee Dulay) all the way from Davao City and Melissa Dulay Banares Eusebio of Antipolo City over red wine, grapes in antique plates from the Lakan Dula household on top of antique "baul" beside a "lampara" with a burnng candle and the bayonet used by the Ceferino Rivas Dulay, the 4th hereditay leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley when he was a guerilla fighter against the Japanese invading forces. The clan house has been the pilgrimage site of the descendants of Lakan Dula from all over the country.

The Pre Hispanic Native Royal Houses and Principalia Families of the Republic of the Philippines

The Principalia families  of the Philippines are the descendants of the prehispanic  lakan, sultan, datu, rajah, hadi of the different ancient prosperous native settlements all over the country that were eventually recognized by the Kingdom of Spain as part of the their royal administration in the country. 

This could be a result of the informal alliance between Lakan Bunao Dula of the Lakanate of Tondo with the Kingdom of Spain. Among the agreement of the Lakanate of Tondo and the Kingdom of Spain are : there will be no more armed conflict between the two kingdoms, the native hereditary leaders will be allowed to use their ancient surnames, they will be free  from paying taxes, and  they will be appointed as gobernadorcillos of their  own settlements. As a gesture of this diplomatic alliance between the Kingdom of Spain and the Lakanate of Tondo, Batang Dula, the eldest son and heir apparent of Lakan Bunao Dula and Senorita Goiti were betrothed and the palace of Lakan Bunao Dula, will be under the protection and maintenance of the Kingdom of Spain. Later, the palace was converted into a dormitory and eventually, a church was built on it.

         It is now known as the Sto. Nino Church of Tondo. According Rev. Fr. Lito Villegas of the Church of Sto. Nino de Tondo, with the death of Lakan Bunao Dula, the Sto. Nino became the "Lakan of the Kingdom Tondo with children of Lakan Bunao led by his eldest son and heir apparent Batang Dula acting as the regents of the native kingdom. In the later part of the nation’s history, the Philippine Revolution against the Kingdom of Spain will eventually be led by natives of Tondo, Andres Bonifacio and Macario Sakay. When the Philippine Revolutionary Government was hoodwinked by both the Americans and the Kingdom of Spain through the Treaty of Paris, the revolutionary government led by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo filed a formal protest against the treaty and in their protest letter, they mentioned that the sovereignty and mandate of the revolutionary government was derived from the Lakanate of Tondo's mandate of Lakan Bunao Dula.

         The recognition of the rights and privileges of the Filipino Principalía as equivalent to those of the Hidalgos of Castile appears to facilitate entrance of Filipino nobles into institutions under the Spanish Crown, either civil or religious, which required proofs of nobility. However, such approximation may not be entirely correct since in reality, although the principales were vassals of the Spanish Crown, their rights as sovereign in their former dominions were guaranteed by the Laws of the Indies, more particularly the Royal Decree of Philip II of 11 June 1594, which Charles II confirmed for the purpose stated above, in order to satisfy the requirements of the existing laws in the Peninsula.

    The descendants of Lakan Dula has been spearheaded by the lineage of Batang Dula, through the cadet line of David Dula y Goiti where the Dulay Tribe all over the country emerged.  They are recognized  by the organizations of  indigenous Filipinos headed by Rajah Julian Canonoy and other datu as well as principalia families, royal families from Sarawak, articles, blogs, heritage websites, and historians - - as the cadet line of the Lakanate of Tondo. The descendants of Lakan Dula which is headed by the 5th hereditary leader of the Dulay Mendoza Clan of Marikina, through their foundation, Ceferino Dulay Memorial Foundation, Inc. (CDM Foundation) has been doing advocacies and projects such as 1. Animal Shelter, 2. Marikina News, 3. Pro - Poor Projects (Feeding Program, Outreach, and Gift Giving), 4. Baybayin, Arnis and Kundiman Revival, 5. Lakanate of Tondo, Royal Houses and Principalia Families, 6. Descendants of Lakan Dula, 7. Sumpa ni Lakan Dula, 8. Indigenous tribal groups in the Philippines and 9. Dine with the Ancestors. The CDM Foundation was organized by the elders of the Dulay Tribe among them was Simon Dulay Sr. of Laoang, Northern Samar in honor of the lineage of the eldest son Ceferino Rivas Dulay, the 4th hereditary leader of Dulay Mendoza Clan of Marikina Valley. The Presidency of the foundation is now with the eldest son and legal heir of Ceferino who is known as the 5th hereditary leader of the clan.

The Family of the Patriarch of the House of Dula

A circle of advocates on specialized fields were involved in the projects: Pastor Jay Enage, founder of Baybayin Buhayin, Inc., Samuel Bambit Dulay for arnis, Arjhay Laurea for Kundiman and the family of the late national artist Lang Dulay for tinalak. The leader of the descendants of Lakan Dula had been interviewed by bloggers, I - Juander of GMA, different students and I -Witness of GMA; and the House of Dulay Mendoza has been a favorite venue for films and documentaries. One of those who took notice of the activities of the descendants of Lakan Dula was a Fil American from New York representing the Wangdom of Ma-I in Bulalacao Mindoro. He wrote a letter to the head of the House of Dula and an informal alliance between the Lakanate of Tondo and Wangdom of Ma-I was discussed in principle to support the existing projects and advocacies. The alliance embarked on a US Mission to Recover Doctrina Cristiana now kept by the US Library of Congress which was coordinated with the Office of the President, National Historical Commission and the Department of Foreign Affairs. The people behind the God's Culture in YouTube visited the House of Dula for a Dine with the Ancestors Ritual Havilah Version. A principalia who is a high ranking Filipino priest and papal official based in Vatican City in Rome later participated in the visioning of an organization of the principalia families in the Philippines which in essence became the foundation of the council. In a meeting between the patriarch of the House of Dula and the parish priest of the Sto. Nino de Tondo, a pilgrimage of Lakan Dula descendants to Tondo was discussed and the necessity of formalizing the Principalia Council was deemed as historical priority.

The Heroism of the Secretive  Grand Patriarch

I Talked to God - A Personal Experience on Super Typhoon Ondoy

"I am not a religious type of person. I may be a devoted Roman Catholic but not the fanatic type. I am hesitant to write this because I may look lunatic or stupid but I really talked to God. I did. During the great flood caused by typhoon Ondoy, our ancestral house at the poblacion of Marikina, Philippines, including the nearby Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned, was flooded for the first time in history, as high as maybe 10 feet in the road. My daughter Katreena, together with one of my maids, Joan was rescued by some neighbors by mistake and were brought to the nearby evacuation center at the Red Cross. I said by mistake because we were not planning to evacuate because my house has two storeys with an attic. Braving the flood, I visited my daughter Katreena and our maid at the Red Cross temporary evacuation center and told them to stay there. On my way back, there are commotions – several people are stranded in their one - storey houses. Some of them have babies. I joined the ragtag rescue team with nothing but my basic swimming skills and wearing a basketball short and a t-shirt. Being one of the taller volunteers, I was assigned to be in front of the pack, together with another tall neighbor. We are holding a rope tied to a post. I first encountered a lady neighbor desperately calling for a rescue. She rode on my back and I swam and walked her all the way to the Red Cross. Then I went back to the rescue scene…I met another lady whom I did not talk to for a long time, but really in need for a rescue, I also made her ride on my back and delivered here to safety. Then, at the farthest house near the river, two babies with their own mothers were stranded. The water was getting high.  We can not swim anymore because of strong current.  We made our way by clinging into the post, and iron grills and walls. I even encountered an old  man trying to join the rescue team, but is nervously clinging on the wall. I said….come on, move  (because he is clinging on the wall blocking my way).He said, “I am afraid, I don’t know how to  swim.” I said, “You better go back, your life will be in danger.” We finally reached the house where the babies were stranded….me, a Red Cross volunteer, a guy  with a thick Visayan accent and another guy whom I could not remember now. The first baby,  we put him on a big plastic tumbler and swam him through the flood all the way to the Red Cross.  The next baby, we decided to pass him through the roofs because the water was already so high  and the current from the river was so strong that the plastic tumbler might capsize. That baby  finally reached the Red Cross. All were saved; the four of us parted ways. I was then alone resting on top of a big abandoned tent  in the middle of the flooded street, desperately wanting to swim back into my house nearby.  The current from the river was getting stronger. From my house balcony, I saw my son  Esdee (who has a foot injury due to basketball) shouting: “Daddy, langoy ka na dito,  aanurin na yang tent na yan (“daddy, please swim towards here because that tent will collapse  soon”). I was already weak and I noticed that I have a lot of wounds in my legs, body and arms  with blood. I said, “I can not swim now, let me rest for a while, can you get the bamboo near the balcony and peg it into a balusters towards me.” With the bamboo, I slowly cling my way towards  our balcony, just when I am about to reach our balcony, the tent that I used to rest on collapsed.  I could have died there.Maybe…because the tent will be all over me in a strong current from the  river. My injured son saved me. Days after the flood, I was in bed sick. But I did not let anyone know that I was not feeling well.  I let two families stay in my house….because they were already driven out of the temporary  evacuation. The flood subsided and the whole place was stinking. We have to remove the mud  from our compound into the road…by hand. The dirt and smelly rotting meats and the garbage  and the debris are all over the street which is not passable due to mountain of mud, debris and  garbage. Several of my neighbors, including my eldest daughter, were sick. I was sick. The destruction was so depressing, my wounds hurt, and the area stinks.  No electricity. Food were rotten because there is no electricity to run the refrigerator. I texted Mayor Marides Fernando to please clear the road of maintains of rotting garbage and  mud…an MMDA truck came in next day which allowed us to pass through the road. Very sick,  I went to BPI in Cubao and withdrew cash…. After that, I found myself standing in our gate giving cash to the passers – by and some  neighbors…and barangay workers helping in the rehabilitation.My sickness, that I tried to hide,  made me lost control of my usual conservative disposition of money…. That night I really feel the pain. Finally, I took self medication of drugs for typhoid, the same  drugs that my sick eldest daughter was taking…thinking that since my daughter has typhoid,  I may have typhoid too… I wore thick jackets…I am so irritated, but never want to admit, even  up to now, that I was sick then…. I was going to die without seeing a doctor….How I wish that if  I had to die, it should had been when I was rescuing my neighbors so that it will be good in the  tabloid: “University Professor Consultant of the Mayor Died Saving his Neighbors”. Then, some  second rate local politicians will visit my wake telling everyone that we were friends. Then some  of my students will say, “mabait yan si Professor Dulay..mahilig magpatawa….(too bad, I will not  be around to give them stars, hey “stars” is a private class joke among my students)…. That night, I was hallucinating and chilling. I feel I am asleep but my eyes were half open. Then,  I feel that my whole body floated into the outer space… I see the stars….with different colors. I  was entertained of the site..better than any fireworks display during New Year celebrations.  After a long journey, maybe of my soul…or maybe of my body, I don't know…., I saw three  constellations of stars in the endless space that looks like an arrangement of heavenly bodies  that has the shape of two human being in long white dress walking peacefully and gracefully  and a third one is a shape of a human face…all floating in the endless space…. Then the  planetary arrangements that looks like a human face of a bearded man saw me. I told Him: “Hi God. Am I going to die already? “. I got the feeling the he was probably God. He said: “Why, would you like to die? I said: “Your will be done, but if you will allow, let me live” He said: “Ok, you will live, what do you want?” I said: “Thank you, I want to live as an ordinary person enjoying ordinary happiness while  pursuing and achieving extra ordinary things”. (Looking back, I should have said, let me win in  the lotto) He said: “Ok…” I said: “And God, if you want to experience again how it is to be human, you can use my body  anytime. Just don’t let me know when you are using my body co existing with me, because I  might become abusive.” He said: “Ok” Then I wake up……so weak, tired and thirsty, but not anymore chilling….. Up to now, I still deny to my children that I got sick, because I never get sick in my whole life  ever since and I am always bragging to them that their daddy has never been sick since I was born. Really. It is true. I don’t get sick. Well, that night?……. Did I get sick? ……Let us put it this way, maybe, I was dying that night,  maybe not, nobody knows..remember, I did not go to a doctor…., but I was never sick….. my wounds in my body, legs and hands should not count. They were not sickness.  They were just wounds, Ok?" Narrated by Prof. Sofronio Dulay, taken from "Marikina". https://sites.google.com/site/totidulay/talkedtogod. Retrieved November 25, 2020
