"David Dula y Goiti, un nieto de Lakan Dula con una madre española escapó la persecución de los descendientes de Lakan Dula colocando en Isla de Batag, Samar norteño y colocó en el Candawid ahora llamado colocado (Kan David). Debido al odio a los españoles, él cayó el Goiti en su apellido y adoptó un nuevo David conocido Dulay. El civil de Guardia lo cogió basado en Palapag y fue ejecutado eventual junto con siete seguidores. Fueron encargados de la planificación atacar la separación española. "(Ref:  http://www.enciclopediaespana.com/Rajah_Lakandula.html )  

"Samar norteño es donde la rebelión de Sumuroy de 1649-1650 llevado por el Juan Ponce Sumuroy del héroe de Waray primero comenzó. Uno de los conspiradores confiados en del co de Sumuroy, hijo de David Dula y Goiti, sostuvo la búsqueda filipina para la patria en un mayor vigor. Lo sin embargo hirieron en una batalla, fueron capturado y ejecutado más adelante en Palapag, Samar norteño de los españoles junto con sus siete tenientes dominantes. Los acusaron de masterminding varios ataques contra separaciones españolas. El lugar de donde David vino fue nombrado más adelante como Candawid (Kan David) en Isla De Batag, Laoang, Samar norteño. Algunos de los descendientes de David cambiaron sus apellidos a Dulay para evitar procesamientos españoles. Algunos mantuvieron su apellido Dula, que hasta actualmente es la fuente de fricciones internas de menor importancia entre algunos descendientes de David Dula y Goiti en Laoang, Samar norteño que acusaba cada lado como " sigbinan", un folklore waray nativo que originó en Isla de Batag, que implica el " una familia que guarda secretamente llevar-como creatures", que se están alimentando con todas las clases de carne, a veces, incluyendo la carne de Guardia española muerta civil. Vario Samarenos norteño famoso está remontando su ascendencia entre los siete conspiradores del co ejecutados con David Dula y Goiti en Palapag, Samar norteño. Durante la guerra Filipino-Americana, el cerco de Catubig fue luchado en la ciudad Catubig ."

Martin de Goiti is a Spanish Basque conquistador who led the expedition sent by Legazpi in 1569 to conquer Manila; killed in the expedition that fought Limahong. He was one of the soldiers who accompanied the Spanish colonization of the East Indies and the Pacific, in 1565. From his main base in Mexico City, he was the leader of the expedition to Manila, ordered by Miguel López de Legazpi in 1569. There, he fought a number of battles against the Muslim, Tariq Suleiman (سليمان), the Hindu, Rajah Matanda (ऋअज ंअतन्द), and the Taoist, Lakan Dula (王 杜拉) of the kingdoms in Luzon; for control of the lands and its settlements. He is also known for his statesmanship by betrothing his Basque sister to Batang Dula, the eldest son and successor apparent of Lakan Dula of Tondo "東都" (Dongdu), the paramount ruler of Manila. Eventually their descendants unified the 3 royal houses of Tariq Suleiman, Rajah Matanda and Lakan Dula with the basque de Goiti family. The Dula y Goiti family eventually married with the Mendoza family who came over from Latin-America, who were Sephardic Hebrews that were practicing Catholics. Afterwards, the Dula y Goiti surname was shortened to Dulay. However, during the Spanish era, some descendants changed their surnames even further in order to avoid persecution and among which; the Salonga and Macapagal families are known descendants of these royal houses albeit only through a different family name (https://www.findagrave.com)

Barangay Candawid is a former sitio of Barangay Marubay, Isla de Batag, Laoang, Northern Samar, Philippines - a sea route and an entry point to the Kingdom of Manila coming from the Pacific Ocean during the Galleon Trade. Candawid came from the word Kan David. Kan is a Waray word for "owned". Candawid is a fertile land owned by David, or what is now known as David Dula y Goiti, a relative of Juan Ponce Sumuroy of Palapag. David led a group of clan members who financed and back staff Sumuroy in his rebellion against the Spain.

Candawid Barangay Captain Macario Dulay together with some of his children visited the 4th generation titular head of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley Ceferino Dulay in 1984 and turned over two antique plates that were in his possession. The plates were part of the David Dula y Goiti households passed on from generations to generations among the titular heads of the Dulay Clan. A close scrutiny of the plate shows that they are similar to plates excavated in Pandacan, Manila which dates back in 16th century and which is presently displayed in the UST Museum. The plates provided artifacts directly linking of David Dula y Goiti to Lakan Dula of Intramuros, Manila.

Barangay Captain Macario Dulay, sensing that he may not live long, formally anointed Ceferino Dulay of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley to assume the leadership of the clan because he is the lineage of the "first born son of the first born sons" of the Dulay Clan. He also narrated a family tree of the modern Dulay Clan from Isla de Batag starting from the legendary "Five Dulay Children of Batag Islands".

According to Macario Dulay, basing on a story he learned from his grandfather and some old folks of the islands, the Dulay Clan of Isla d Batag came from a mysterious Tagalog who has several wives, a big ancestral land which is now known as Candawid and several household helpers and armed followers. The known and recorded descendants of this mysterious Tagalog are what are known today as the "Five Dulay Children of Isla de Batag".

The eldest among the five children is Petre Dulay. The eldest girl is named Agrifina Dulay who married Andres Cui. The third child is Francisca Dulay who was married to Siok Chan, then Tomasina Dulay who was married to Kuyo Pajantoy and the youngest is Cristobal Dulay.

Ceferino Rivas Dulay is the 4th Hereditary Leader of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley being "the eldest son of the eldest son" of the David Dula y de Goiti - Petre Dulay bloodline. He left the hereditary coconut plantation in Candawid, in Isla de Batang, Laoang, Northern Samar, and went back to his homeland in Tondo. With the advise of fellow descendant Disodado Macapagal  and  the Tuason family, he started a settlement of the clan in Marikina Valley. He is a guerilla leader and, worked and retired as one of the katiwala of the Cacho - Tuason, the owner and developer of Hacienda Marikina into what Marikina is today. His secret tomb was later discovered by some members of the clan in a chapel of the old shrine in the poblacion of Marikina protected and maintained by his closest direct descendants. His teachings are known today as "The Descendancy"  https://sites.google.com/site/truelakandula/ceferinodulay-1

B. Dulay Clan members, as part of their tradition, runs for elective public office. The clan produced Provincial Governors, Board Members, Mayors, Vice Mayors, Barangay Captains, Barangay Kagawads, Sk Chairmen, and SK Kagawads. So far, it has not produced a Philippine President yet.

C. Another tradition, but is highly discouraged by the First Family of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley, is the tradition of chivalric duel in settling personal disputes. Among far bloodlines and members by affinity of the Dulay Clan exists a bloody "duel to death" tradition in settling personal grudge. Among the clan members in Marikina who died in this kind of duels are Totoy Mendoza, Bugoy Cerbito, Aboy Lipata and Umaw Pajantoy..fighting with separate rivals from within and outside of the Dulay Clan.This tradition, which dates back from the ancient times, somehow gave the impressions that the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley are war like people. Some of those clan members who survived this kind of duel were charge in the court of law while some were vanished from the valley and are believed to be hiding from among the known Lakan Dula settlements in Northern Samar, Candaba, Tondo and Cavite.

D. Another tradition, which dates back from the reign of Lakan Dula, is the reign of the first born sons as a generation counter and an identification tool for the reigning  First Family of the Clan. The Reign of the First Born Sons is rooted on a religious belief that God and nature endowed the first born sons with greater intellects and abilities because they are meant to protect and lead the other siblings.The Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley has the distinction of being the direct descendants of the long line of uninterrupted first born sons dating far back for Candawid, Isla de Batag, Northern Samar.

Geneology of the First Born Sons of the Dulay Clan: 

First Generation: Petre Dulay (eldest son from Candawid)

Second Generation: Doroteo (eldest son of Petre based in Candawid)

Third Generation: Elpidio (eldest son of Doroteo based in Candawid)

Fourth Generation: Ceferino (eldest son of Elpidio, went back to his Tondo homeland and later started settlement in Marikina Valley)

Fifth Generation: Sofronio l ( eldest son of Ceferino based in the poblacion of the Marikina  Valley)

Sixth Generation: Sofronio ll (eldest son of Sofronio ll based in poblacion of the Marikina Valley)

E. Another tradition, which is a way of strengthening the clan, is the leadership preparation and training for the next generation leaders headed by the direct descendant of the Reign of the First Forn Sons. This tradition was started by then clan leader Ceferino Dulay who sent his eldest son Sofronio l to the best schools of the land like La Salle, UP and AIM,  taking philosophy, military science, MBA, development management and public administration.

Sofronio 1 is sending his eldest son, Sofronio 11 (Esdee) to an exclusive boy school, Marist School, and is training him in community, church and school leadership like membership in the school basketball varsity team, San Roque Inter Barangay Basketball Team, Sacristan in Our Lady of the Abandoned, Batang Lambak Tytuz Basketball Team, MES Basketball Team, Search for Mr. Marist, charity gestures towards  members of the Dulay Clan and SK Kagawad of Barangay San Roque. Sofronio ll decided to pursue medicine, the choice was left entirely on him as part of crafting his own destiny and clan leadership style. He passed the recent UP entrance examination to pursue his pre medicine degree.

F. The tradition of starting a family within the Dulay Clan can be achieved by marrying a lady member of the Dulay Clan. The new family will then carry the name of the husbands. Example: when Celedonia Dulay and Antonio Quiles got married, they started the "Quiles Family of the Dulay Clan" , when Lennie Guardiano was married to Michael Merren, they started the "Merren Family of the Dulay Clan".

G. The marriage tradition of the Dulay Clan, especially among the closest to the inner core of the reigning First Family of the clan, is more on marrying those with strong foreign blood. Arranged marriage is done thru the leader of the clan.

H. Keeping a list of the direct blood descendants starting from the children of Ceferino Rivas Dulay, the 4th Generation Clan Leader.

I. It is a well guarded tradition of the clan  to pursue heroic and noble acts among the eldest son of the eldest son. Lakan Dula fought the Spanish Regime. His children Batang Dula  and Magat Salamat continued the resistance. Batang Dula, the Lakan Dula's eldest son valiantly hold his ground by staying in their Intramuros homeland and presided over the remnants of the kingdom  by arranging for the escaped of his children and relatives to Samar, Pampanga and Bulacan  at the height of the Spanish persecution of the native aristocracy.. His younger brother, Magat Salamat died a martyr. David Dulay joined his relative Juan Sumuroy in the Sumoroy Revolt. David was executed by the Spaniards. Ceferino Dulay was a young guerilla againts the Japanese forces under Bitok Cerbito in Isla de Batag, Northern Samar. They carried out the ambushed of a platoon led by Capt. Yamamoto. Sofronio Dulay l joined the EDSA Revolution leading some of his co - employees in a pharmaceutical firm into a ragtag group  in support of Gen. Fidel Ramos despite the fact that the owner of the company where he works is a Marcos Loyalist.
