The United Royal Houses of the Philippines created this website to consolidate the researches of the historians that relates to Lakan Dula.
Dulay (pronounced as Dulai or Dulay) (also doo-leh) is a prominent clan in the Philippines where Doylly/Dulay from England is spelled as Dula in ancient Manila because there is no letter Y in ancient Baybayin, the ancient Filipino native alphabet. This explains the fact that the Doyly from England became Dulay and later, Dula when it was used in the Philippines during the pre-Hispanic time. When a member of Bolkiah royal family of Brunei and Manila married a Doyly from England, the resulting marriages started the Doyly/Dulay/Dula lineage of Lakan Dula of the Kingdom of Manila. This foreign bloodline and connections also explains why the ancient Tagalog dialect has few Jatt-Hindu sounding words and seemingly old English derivatives because of several exchanges of secret communications between the Dulay/Dula of the Kingdom of Manila, the Duleh of the Jatt people of India and Doyly of England. It is also one of the many last names of early Jatt tribes that played an important historical role in Sikh history.
Origins
Lakan Dula was born on December 16, 1503 A.D and died on March 21, 1589 A.D. He was the last King of Manila before the kingdom was totally subjugated by the Spaniards and his descendants were forced to do self-exile to escape the bloody Hispanic persecution by settling in far flung areas within the sea and river routes. There is one theory that says that Dulay is a Filipino ethnic name. It contradicts the prevailing internationally accepted history that Britain somehow arrived in Manila before Spain to marry into the Bolkiah family. The theory simply says that Dulay is simply Dula y Goiti, not a fairy tale based in Britain. The truth is that to conceal the name Dula from Spanish persecution, David Dula y Goiti became David Dulay, from which all the Dulays had descended. The fact is that Britain was in Manila for two years during the 1700's, not before, and had no real influence over the country. Spain did. So, the story that Dulay originated in two places is false. Dulay is not British, but Filipino and Spanish. That is well documented.
But somehow, a second theory coming from the Royals of England says that British records state that Dulay bloodline and surname came from Robert d'Ouilli. There were only 243 taxable houses in the City of Oxford in 1086. Robert d'Ouilli (Doyly) held 61 manors in Oxford. He was Oxford's most powerful Norman magnate. Oxford was also known as Hokenorton or Hooknorton. He, Robert, was granted much of the county of Oxford by Duke William of Normandy for his assistance at the Battle of Hastings. Robert was Constable of Oxford. Robert had previously built built Wallingford Castle, completed in 1071. He held 61 manors in Oxfordshire. "He was so powerful a man no one durst oppose him" He was from Ouilly-le-Basset, near Falaise in Normandy. His sworn brother-in-arms, Roger d'Ivri or Ivry and he were both at Hastings with Duke William of Normandy in 1066. Between them and Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of Duke William of Normandy, they held most of the whole county of Oxfordshire. [2].The Dulay bloodline and surname eventually became Duleh when it intermarried with the Jatt royal family in India and Dula in Philippines when it intermarried with the pre-Hispanic nobility based in Manila, because Dulay is spelled as Dula in Baybayin, the pre - Hispanic Filipino alphabet. The Dula surname was later changed back to Dulay by the latter descendants, partly to hide from Spanish prosecution but more on political statement as a re connection with its British roots as a symbol of struggle against the oppressive Spanish regime. In the history books, the one who changed his name from Dula to Dulay was David Dula y Goiti, the eldest son of Batang Dula, who is the heir apparent and eldest son of Lakan Bunao Dula, the last King of Tondo.
The third and most historically accepted theory is that the Dulay surname came from the Doylly nobility lineage of Normandy, with both French and British noble blood:

Years later, Henry descendant Ysmeria Doyly was sent to a mission by the British Royalty in a faraway land to the east to marry a prince from the Bolkiah Kingdom and started then a cadet line of royalty based in Manila, Philippines. The regnal name of Doyly was later converted into the more native sounding name of Dulay. Years later, because the ancient alphabet of the natives of the islands, the Baybayin, did not have letter Y, the Dulay was later popularly spelled as Dula from where Lakan Dula lineage descended.

The history of Isla de Batang, Lawang town, Northern Samar is colored with the arrivals of the Jewish, Spanish, Chinese and American adventurers who later intermarried with the descendants of David Dulay's makarato settlements. The Isla de Batag, or its old name Isla de Batang, which is named after Batang Dula, the eldest son of Lakan Dula, Batang Dula, is a strategic spot for settlers and up to now is a home of a lighthouse guiding the ships in the Pacific Ocean, being the first island that ships going to the old Kingdom of Manila would see or deck after a long trip in the Pacific Ocean; and just adjacent to Palapag, the ancient shipping capital and repair station which extended all the way to the Galleon Trade era; and Catubig, the old provincial Spanish capital. One of the Jewish families who prospered in the island through the intermarriage with the descendants of David Dulay is the Mendoza Family, who are Sephardi Jews from Spain.The dialect spoken in the island is a Waray with some Jewish sounding words. Some of the relatives of the Mendoza family in the United States are up to now attending Jewish congregations. This explains the fact that the present leaders of the "Angkan ng Dulay Mendoza sa Lambak ng Marikina” have a Jewish bloodline. The provincial name, Samar, is itself Jewish in origin, which somewhat attest to the strong presence of the Sephardi Jews in the area.
Dulay villages and towns in France and England
The Dulay surname is generally thought to derive from a place name, perhaps Pont Doylly, or Duilly in Normandy. Spelling variations of this family name include: Doyley, D'Oyley, Doyle, D'Oyle, Doylee, Doley, Dulaey, Dulaye, Duley, Duley, Duly, Duely, Dueley, Ollie, Oyler, Oylie, D'Oyly, Olley, Oulley, Oullie, Ollie, Owley, Oyly, Oilli, Oiley, L'Oyle and many more. First found in Oxfordshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, having prevailed over King Harold, granted most of Britain to his many victorious Barons. It was not uncommon to find a Baron, or a Bishop, with 60 or more Lordships scattered throughout the country. These he gave to his sons, nephews and other junior lines of his family and they became known ookie/as under-tenants. They adopted the Norman system of surnames which identified the under-tenant with his holdings so as to distinguish him from the senior stem of the family. After many rebellious wars between his Barons, Duke William, commissioned a census of all England to determine in 1086, settling once and for all, who held which land. He called the census the Domesday Book, indicating that those holders registered would hold the land until the end of time. Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands of Eynsham held by Columban, a Norman noble as under tenant of the Bishop of Lincoln who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. His overlord was Robert d'Ouilli.[4]
Dulay in Ireland and England
Recorded as Dealey, Deeley, Deelay, Delaye, Duley, Dulae, Dulaye, Dulay, Delay, Dealy and possibly others, this was always thought to be an Irish surname. If so it is derived from the pre 10th century Gaelic surname O' Duibhghiolla, the prefix O' meaning "male descendant of", with dubh, dark haired or dark skinned, and giolla, a boy or lad. The vast majority of Irish surnames were originally nicknames given to the first chief of the clan, and he was presumably significantly dark haired or dark complexioned or both. It is said that the clan originated in County Galway, whilst over the water in England there are a large number of nameholders particularly in the city of Birmingham. However the surname is well recorded in England in Elizabethan times, and we now believe that the origin can be either Irish as shown, or for many nameholders French. If the latter, it is from the surname 'de Laye', as shown in the recording of David de Laye at St Martins in the Field, Westminster, in 1569. Other examples of recordings include John Delaye who married Elisabeth Boner at St Bartholomew the Less, on November 24, 1602, and William Dealey who was christened at St. Andrew's Holborn, in the city of London on December 11, 1626. In Ireland itself where most early registers and records were destroyed by the IRA in 1922, we have the recording of Eleanor, the daughter of Michael and Eleanor MacDaniel Deeley, who was christened at St. Mary's church, Limerick, on August 3, 1780. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. [5]

From the historical accounts of the old folks of the clan, notably, the late Candawid Barangay Captain Macario Dulay; David Dulay is a wealthy Tagalog with several wives and children. The children from the first wife carry the surname Dulay to hide them from the Spanish persecutions. The children from the second wife used the surname Dula to reconnect to their Lakan Dula heritage. The children from his other wives used the surnames of their mothers. Some younger children from the first wife settled in Laoang town and made good in arrastre business and another younger brother joined a Spanish shipping crew to Manila and fell in love with a pretty native from what is now known as Samara (from Samar), Aringay in the Northern Philippines where they later settled and raise a big family hiding under the surname of de la Cruz (but some of their children used the original surname Dulay) -- eldest brother remained in Candawid, Isla de Batag, running the coconut plantation with uninterrupted lineage of his first born descendants down to several different generations of Petre,Doroteo, Elpidio, and Ceferino; until Ceferino married a girl from a Sephardi Jewish Mendoza family and surprisingly decided to go back to their ancestral homeland in Tondo and raised a big family. Later in his life, he uprooted his family in Tondo and together with some relatives, settled in Marikina Valley. They are now known as the "Angkan ng Dulay Mendoza sa Lambak ng Marikina ".
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.
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 Descendants of Lakan Dula of Tondo are united. 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. Descendants will not point directly their patriarch but if needed, they will indirectly identify him as the one who has been very active in coordinating them.

Lakan Dula was a native muslim king of Tundun (a large area covering most of what is now present-day Metro Manila), when the Spanish colonization of the Philippine Islands had begun. He ruled a community of Muslim people who lived north of the Pasig River.Lakan Dula was one of three Muslim chieftains in the Manila during the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors led by Martín de Goiti, and Juan de Salcedo in 1570. Lakan is his official title meaning King and later baptized Lakan Carlos Dula (it was found later by the National Historical Commission that he was not actually baptized and did not changed his name), was the Lakan paramount ruler of the pre-colonial Philippine Kingdom of Tondo when the Spaniards first conquered the lands of the Pasig River delta in the 1570's. His father is Rajah Salalila (Sulayman I) and his mother is Ysmeria. His beloved wife is Mutya and they are blessed with several children. His grandparents are Dayang (Lady) Kalangitan and Gat (Lord) Lontok and his brother is Rajah Matanda (Sulayman II). Rajah Mura or Muda (Sulayman III) and Lakan Banao Dula led a revolt known as the Sulayman Revolt of 1574 in the villages of Navotas, taking advantage of the confusion brought about by the attacks of Chinese pirate Limahong. This is also often referred to as the "Manila revolt" but is sometimes referred to as the "Sulayman Revolt" and the "Lakan Dula Revolt."
