The Dulay Mendoza Family of Spain and the Philippines

 Abstract:

        The Mendoza family came from a noble line in Spain. The principalia family in Marikina Valley in the Philippines is a sephardi jewish Mendoza which originated from Spain. The noble family of Tondo is known for marrying into different noble lines such as the Bolkiah of Brunei, the Doyley of the United Kingdom, the  Mendoza and Goiti of Spain, and the Uy Jaucian Li Chinese clan of Daraga Albay married into the Sumulong Berenguer de Marquina family -- as a way of preserving the Lakanate of Tondo. The lineage of the nobility of Tondo have been involved in heroism and some of treachery, such as the Sumuroy revolt involving the Romualdez and the suppression of native uprisings involving the Macapagal. The Macapagal shared the Tondo nobility with the Dulay and the Capulong through the lineage of Batang Dula, the eldest and heir apparent of Lakan Dula. Although a member of the Dulay family was married to a Tallano family who is claiming ownership of the  land title of the Hacienda Pilipinas covering the entire country which is known as Maharlika,  the Patriarch of the descendants of Lakan Dula, on the contrary, belongs to an extremely private and secretive cadet line Dulay Mendoza Family of Marikina Valley, Tondo, Northern Samar and La Union and they have a vision for a just, peaceful and prosperous country as a way of respect to  their ancestry.

Introduction

        The Mendoza family was a powerful line of Spanish nobles. Members of the family wielded considerable power, especially from the 14th to the 17th centuries in Castile. The family originated from the village of Mendoza in the province of Álava in the Basque countries, with the seigneury becoming part of the Kingdom of Castile during the reign of Alfonso XI (1312–1350). The Mendozas participated in Castilian politics afterward, with its scions becoming advisers, administrators, and clerics. Its different branches and names expanded out of its original nucleus in later centuries. The place-name and surname Mendoza stems from two Basque words: "mend(i)"+"oza", meaning 'cold mountain', with a dropped "i" in between. Álava is a hilly region with a core flat area (the Plains of Álava) bounded at the time by the kingdoms of Castile, and the Navarre in the 13th and 14th century. It had been loosely controlled by Navarre earlier, and retained its own distinctive customs and traditions. The town of Mendoza and the province of Álava itself was also a battlefield, where the clashing noble families of the area settled their disputes for generations. In
1332, the Mendozas had already been there for at least a century, struggling with the rival clans, such as the Ayala, Orozco, and Velasco. They traced themselves as a stem of the House of Haro, another powerful clan of the Basque countries. Once the Castilian Civil War came to an end with the triumph of Queen Isabella of Castile, the Basque inter clan warfare generally ended as well, but even way before, since the 14th century, the Mendoza were jostling for position and privilege in Castile, an expanding military power. By virtue of the Mendozas' status as knights and free men, they became Castilian nobility with Álava's annexation (hidalgos). All members of the noble class were knights, administrators, or lawyers, and served in the administration of the realm. The largest family's responsibility was to form and maintain a local army that could be made available if called by the king. The highest nobility became direct vassals of the king.During most of the reign of the Catholic Monarchs no serious conflicts arose between the nobles or crises occurred nationally able to test the cohesion of the family. Tendilla and cousins, separated from the main branch by the expansion of a
prolific family and geographic dispersion of their political careers, were delivered, every one by his side, to ensure success without further consideration to the family as a whole. When probate litigation generated, again, serious conflicts in Castile, Mendoza could not or would not act as a group, particularly Tendilla adopted positions against the rest of the family. In the atmosphere of crisis and rebellion that gripped Castile death of Isabella in 1504, the Mendoza family was forced to choose between their traditional political support for the Trastámara dynasty, whose last representative was Ferdinand, who had cemented the family's success in the past and set the new policy, or to support the new dynasty of Burgundy. The third Duke of the Infantry, the nominal head of Mendozas, and the constable, who actually ran the affairs of the family, favored the Burgundy. Tendilla preferred to keep the tradition. While Castile was under Trastámara government, its policy was successful, when it became clear that the dynasty would die out in Castile, the position taken by Tendilla proved detrimental to its political and material prosperity, preventing the family act together and weakening Mendoza efficiency of the whole (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Mendoza.)
 

        Marikina was once the Hacienda Sauza-Berenguer de Marquina (1809-1870), the land and home was formerly owned by Don Santiago Sauza y Delos Rios (1777-1880) and his wife Dona Ysabel Berenguer de Marquina y Sumulong (1790-1900). Moreover, Doña Ysabel Berenguer de Marquina y Sumulong (19 November 1790, Cagsawa, Daraga,  Albay, Philippines - 30 January 1900, Banwa, Batan, Aklan, Philippines) was the only daughter of Doña Demetria Sumulong y Lindo and of Señor Felix Berenguer de Marquina y FitzGerald, the former Governor General of the Philippines and from the Royal House of FitzGerald of Ireland (familiasauza).The surname Sumulong is one of the Lakan Dula descendants who settled in Jesus de la Pena together with Dumandan, Capangoy, Dulay, Gatdula and Gatlabayan. The group of families led by Sumulong, Gatdula and Gatlabayan "ay sumulong papuntang bundok ng Antipolo" from Jesus de la Pena using the present Sumulong Highway route, and from then on, that is the name that the Kingdom of Tondo called them. 

I-Witness of GMA TV Featured the 5th Patriarch of the Dulay Mendoza Clan of Marikina Valley
















        This family who descended from Lakan Dula owned the Hacienda, but as to how it was acquired by the Tuason is still a historical mystery. The Tuasons are also relatives of the Sauza. There are wild stories that an adopted child of the Sauza sold the hacienda to the Tuasons. There are other stories that the hacienda was slowly squandered in a gambling called “panggingge” to the Tuasons. The most acknowledged version is that the Tuasons got the hacienda by force through political connections with the Spanish government.However, the first gobernadorcillo of Marikina is actually Don Benito Mendoza. An adventurous son of a Sephardic Jew Spanish couple, the young Benito left his brothers and sisters at the Lakanate of Lawan and tried his luck in Tondo. He was in love with a pretty daughter of high ranking maginoo family of the Kingdom of Tondo who decided to settle in Jesus de la Pena in the present Marikina Valley and later to Antipolo to escape the Spanish persecution of the native nobility. The lineage of that maginoo family of today carries the surname of Sumulong and Gatlabayan. Benito is the oldest of six siblings, and he inherited the headship of the native settlement in what is now called Jesus de la Pena in Marikina and was eventually appointed by the Kingdom of Spain as the first gobernadorcillo of Marikina Valley. According to a member of the Mendoza Clan of Marikina UP Professor Jaime Mendoza Caro, the following members of the Mendoza principalia clan has served Marikina in the following capacities:


The Origin of Mendoza Dulay Bloodline


















1. Don Benito Mendoza, founding Gobernadorcillo 1787

2. Don Lucas Mendoza, Gobernadorcillo 1803

3. Don Mariano Mendoza, Alkalde 1843

4. Don Rufino Mendoza, Alkalde 1851

5. Don Isabelo Mendoza, Presidente 1910-1911

6. Eugenio Mendoza, Presidente, 1919-23

7. Osmundo De Guzmán (Mendoza), Mayor 1960-86


        The 1st Las Familias Unidas happened on 25 December 1850 at Hacienda Sauza-Berenguer de Marquina, Pueblo de Marikina (presently Marikina City), Provincia De Tondo, Las Islas Filipinas and the 91st Las Familias Unidas was held on 25 December 1941 hosted by Demetrio Sauza y Mendoza and wife Cornelia Palmos. Unlike the Mendoza’s where several streets are name today, Marikenyos are curious about where are the Sauzas of Marikina now. There seem to be some intermarriages between the Sauza and the Mendoza. The Sauza are said to be found in the present Barangays Sto. Nino and Sta. Elena in Marikina and in the vicinity of the oldest church of Marikina in Jesus de la Pena where the Lakan Dula descendants first settled but no street has been named after the family so far. The Mendozas on the other hand are found along the present location of Our Lady of the Abandoned Church where the first Church of Marikina in Jesus de la Pena was transferred. Several streets had been named after the family.  Intermarriages among the principalia families in Marikina and in Tondo are very much an old practice among native nobilities.

        Martín de Goiti (c. 1534 – 1575) was one of the soldiers who accompanied the Spanish colonization of the East Indies and the Pacific in 1565. From his base in Mexico City, he led the expedition to Manila ordered by Miguel López de Legazpi in 1569. He then engaged in battles against Rajah Sulayman, Rajah Matanda, and Lakandula of the kingdoms in Luzon in order to colonise the land.The Spaniards arrived in Luzon on May 8, 1570, and camped on the shores of Manila Bay for several weeks, while forming an alliance with the Muslims. On May 24, 1570, disputes and hostility erupted between the two groups. The Spaniards occupied the city of Tondo where they were greeted with thousands of warriors. There, they defeated most of Tariq Suleiman's (سليمان), Rajah Matanda's (ऋअज अतन्द), and Lakandula (王杜拉) people. The Spaniards marched their armies towards the Pasig River, and occupied the settlements in Manila on June 6, 1570 and burned them.Guerrilla warfare
broke out following the battle, which continued for about ten months. The Spaniards fortified themselves in the area and constructed their military barracks of Fort Santiago, which became their outpost for trade with Mexico. The Spaniards gained control of the settlements on June 24, 1571, after the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi in Manila, who agreed to a peace agreement sealed by betrothing one of his half-caste (Half Aztec and Half Spanish) daughters to Batang Dula, heir apparent of Lakan Dula. Eventually their descendants unified the 3 royal houses of Tariq Suleiman, Rajah Matanda and Lakan Dula with the half-Aztec and half Spanish de Goiti family. The Dula y Goiti family married with the Mendoza family who were Catholic Sephardic Hebrews and to mark the dynasty, changed the surname to Dulay. However, upon the commencement of persecutions the Dulay family's descendants changed their surnames even further and thus we have the Salonga and Macapagal families that are known descendants of these royal houses but subsist under a different family name.The Spanish colonization paved the way for the establishment of Manila as a permanent settlement and capital city of the Spanish East Indies. He later explored Pampanga, Pangasinan and founded several Spanish cities in Luzon between the periods of 1571 -1573. De Goiti, along with other soldiers were granted with haciendas (estates) for the lands they had conquered, by Philip II of Spain.In 1574, De Goiti fought in the war during the invasion of about 3,000 Chinese sea pirates who had sailed from the South China sea. Their leader, Limahong, besieged on the Spanish settlements in Manila. De Goiti was killed by these pirates. Most of the Spanish reinforcements came from Vigan and Cebu. Martín de Goiti's second in command, Juan de Salcedo left Ilocos Sur, after hearing the news and traveled to Manila where he discovered their settlements had been ceded to the pirates. Salcedo's forces
attacked and drove the pirates out of Manila. Limahong and his fleets retreated to Pangasinan where they reorganized their forces. In 1575, Salcedo's army marched north to Pangasinan, in pursuit of the pirates, and besieged them for three months ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_de_Goiti )

         
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 great granddaughter Juana Mendoza Cerbito married Ceferino Dulay, a patriarch of the Rajah Lakandula/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.

         With a letter from the Kingdom of Spain, the 5th hereditary patriarch of the Dulay Mendoza Clan of Marikina Valley was anointed  by the Sto, Nino de Tondo Church  as the Patriarch of the House of Dula of the Lakanate of Tondo. The Sto. Nino de Tondo Church plays a significant role in the restoration of the Philippine nobility because it was the Palace of Lakan Bunao Dula, the last King of the Kingdom  of Tondo. The 5th Patriarch of the Dulay Mendoza Clan of Marikina Valley was inducted as the Grand Patriarch  of the  Principalia Hereditary Council of the Philippines. This is the ruling council of several ancient royal houses and principalia families in the Philippines. The council is involve in several advocacies and activities like the rebellion sports (Kali/Arnis), Baybayin, Kundiman, Tinalak, Dine with the Ancestors Ritual, "Sumpa ni Lakan Dula", Ophir, Lakanate of Lawan research, Indigenous Filipinos, Recovery of Doctrina Cristiana, Bagong Bagani Awards, 35th Sultan of Sulu and Sabah, Annual Pilgrimage to Sto Nino de Tondo and some other specific concerns brought to their attention, like the objections of the people of San Francisco del Monte to change their street to FPJ but they are supportive of changing the Roosevelt Avenue instead.

A Romualdez were in the Sumuroy Revolt

        Daniel Zialcita Romualdez (September 11, 1907 – March 22, 1965) was a Filipino politician who served as Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 1957 to 1962. Daniel "Danieling" Romualdez was born in Tolosa, Leyte. His father, Miguel, once served as an assemblyman for Leyte and mayor of the city of Manila. His great-grandfather was involved in the Sumuroy Revolt but narrowly escaped Spanish execution when he was allowed by David Dula to visit his ailing mother. Dula and his seven trusted men were later executed in Palapag, Northern Samar and were buried in unmarked graves without Roman Catholic rites. Superstitions existed that a Romualdez was to die that day in Palapag. More than fifty years later, Philippine Supreme Court Associate Justice Norberto Romuáldez, Danieling's famous uncle and the man who made their surname distinguished in society, would suddenly die of a heart attack in Palapag, hometown of his second wife Beatriz, daughter of the parish priest Fray Salustiano Buz, who insisted on campaigning at the grassroots level for the Philippine Senate elections when he was almost guaranteed to win on account of his nationwide reputation. Source: https://ipfs.io › ipfs › wiki › Daniel_Romualdez .

         Macapagal (rare variant: Makapagal) is a Filipino surname derived from the Kapampangan language.The family claims noble descent from Dola de Goiti Dula, a legitimate grandchild of Lakan Dula, the last "王" or King of Tondo "東都" (Dongdu). It is the only known branch of the Seludong's royal family to have survived the Majapahit Empire's invasion, the Sultanate of Brunei's pogrom against native royals, Chinese warlord Limahong's massacres, and the fallout from the Tondo Conspiracy. The family survived due to Martin de Goiti's giving of his Mestiza (Half Aztec and Half-Spanish) daughter in marriage to Batang Dula, the eldest son of Lakan Bunao Dula of the Lakanate of Tondo. As time went on, they incorporated the descendants from the two other royal houses: the house of Rajah Matanda (ऋअज ंअतन्द) and the house of Tariq Suleiman (سليمان).The family then migrated to Pampanga and Northern Samar after the Spanish assumed control of Manila

The family then migrated to Pampanga and Northern Samar after the Spanish assumed control of Manila.

The following are people possessing the Macapagal surname:



A Grandson of Lakan Dula died a Hero, Another Grandson ended as a Traitor


      A grandson of Lakan Dula, a mestizo by the name of David Dula y Goiti, escaped the persecution of the descendants of Lakan Dula by settling in Isla de Batag, Northern Samar and settled in a place now called Candawid. He was imprisoned by Spanish soldiers in Palapag and was executed together with several followers. They were charged of treason with planning to attack the Spanish settlement.

     The current David Dulay descendants are the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Petre, Hilario father of Eleuterio Dulay, Sr. of Laoang, N. Samar and a mayor for more than 20 years during the Marcos Regime died of heart ailment. The other descendants are those carrying the surname Dula related to Councilor Rufo Dula. Wishing to avoid the persecution experienced by his latter ancestors, Lakan Dula’s great grandson Juan Macapagal aided the Spanish authorities in suppressing the 1660 Kapampangan revolt of Francisco Maniago and the Pangasinan revolt of Andrés Malong and the 1661 Ilocano revolt. The Ilocano revolt was headed by warrior tribes from Eastern Pangasinan, the Nozuelo and Moreno clans.Because of his service to the Spanish crown, the Spanish authorities revived the special privileges offered by the Spanish crown to Lakan Dula and his descendants spread across the province of Pampanga. A Gremio de Lakandulas was created in 1758 to protect the privileges of the Kapampangan descendants of Lakandula.During the British occupation of Manila in 1762-1764, the descendants of Lakan Dula, now located in the province of Pampanga, formed a group of volunteers to fight the British and were granted autonomy by Governor General Simón de Anda y Salazar.
