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.
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.
