DEAR KABAYAN THIS IS PERSONALLY FOR YOU :
I AM WRITING THIS BLOG NOT FOR MONEY BUT FOR THE LOVE OF MY COUNTRY THE PHILIPPINES. IF YOU ARE READING THIS ALL I ASK IS TELL YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, SONS, DAUGHTERS OF YOUR HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND DISCOVERIES. WE HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED, DISADVANTAGED, EXPLOITED, “slaven” & DEPRIVED OF OUR IDENTITY AS FILIPINOS by OUR COLONIZERS FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS from the SPANISH FRIARS and more. So, VALUE YOUR IDENTITY AS FILIPINOS, LOVE YOUR COUNTRY THE PHILIPPINES and IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GO TO SPAIN here’s a clue: in ONE OF THE BIG CHURCHES IN SPAIN (maybe in MADRID) IN THE UNDERGROUND IS HIDDEN OUR REAL IDENTITY AS FILIPINOS (things like DIALECT, CLOTHES, RELICS, TOOLS, INSTRUMENTS, EQUIPMENT OF OUR ANCESTORS HIDDEN and more like the South Americans). The MARAGTAS A BOOK with our Bornean links was taken by a Spanish Colonel and maybe kept there too this has clues on our languages before the Spaniards. WE NEED TO GET THOSE BACK as THAT IS OUR REAL IDENTITY AS FILIPINOS and MAHARLIKANS. IF YOU HAVE READ AND FOLLOWED THIS BLOG PLEASE REFERENCE AND CREDIT THIS ARTICLE and LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW A LINK SO WE CAN UNITE AND SHARE INFORMATION. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS NOBODY HAS OPENLY SHARED AND WRITTEN A BOOK (i know) in regards to our IDENTITY AS FILIPINOS. OUR DESCENDANTS NEEDS TO LEARN AND KNOW ABOUT US.

Then after it continues to the so called “ill-gotten wealth” of the Marcoses which is not true in my belief… read below: The Philippines should be the riches country in the world even Ronald Reagan knows and said this… on the video below. See the relationship of the Marcoses to the Reagans…

“ILL-GOTTEN” Marcos Wealth Shocking Truth Revealed: The 2016 Golden Empire Exposed! from http://infograpix.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/ill-gotten-marcos-wealth-shocking-truth.html?m=1
Don’t get confused (video below) by this claim from KAREN HUDES former World Bank employee “for the benefit of humanity”… that’s not true… it is for the welfare of the Filipino People (what Marcos wanted and the lease agreement expired in 2005)… not for all humanity… as the US wants to get that gold reserve…
THE PHILIPPINES IS THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
This was the “MARCOS WEALTH” that some POLITICIAN and CHURCHMEN kept on saying was the:
Brief History
From 1866 to 1898, Prince Julian Macleod Tallano, who became title-holder of OCT 01-4 in 1864 – ORIGINALCERTIFICATE OF TITLE 01-4 PROTOCOL. The number 01 refers to the ONE NATION, known in pre-Hispanic times as MAHARLIKA. The number 4 refers to the original four regions of this nation: (1)Luzon, (2)Visayas, (3)Mindanao, (4)Palawan, has been frequenting the Vatican.
After doing this, Fr Diaz (Jose Rizal – our Hero) went back to the Maharlika and resided in Cabanatuan City. Jose Rizal and the Tallano Family are linked with Queen Victoria that’s (Prince Tallano was a twin of Queen Victoria) why they are very rich watch this video… Queen Victoria is said to have a twin who was sent to Asia and lived in the Philippines. Watch this video… at 4:00 of the video.
Prince Tallano was the twin of Queen Victoria and is the father of Jose Rizal watch the video at 4:00 on the video. He (Rizal) set-up in 1944 the IMF & World Bank. Rizal (Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz) 14:00 in the video … with Marcos (their lawyer at the time) recovered the Gold from the Vatican and Prince Tallano (twin brother of the Queen Victoria) gave them both 30% as commission from the 640,000 metric tons of gold which was worth 192,000 metric tons of gold.
Wolfgang Struck at 39:45 minutes in the video… talking about Marcos and the Tallanos…(Twin of Queen Victoria)
East Asia Financial Crisis in the Philippines large bank in the Philippines was sold to Lucio Tan who was a barrower in default. 55:45 minutes of the Video Lucio Tan’s name was mentioned who was in default with the bank but was allowed to loan to own the bank I think its PNB.
Surprisingly our Hero Jose Rizal (Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz – he modified his name) was the one who set-up the biggest banks IMF (International Monetary Fund and World Bank) and put the gold in a trust account to mature for 50 years which matured in 2005.
After World War II , he facilitated the safe return of the 640,000 metric tons of GOLD from the Vatican to the Maharlika. Manuel Acuna Roxas (relative of the Acuna/ Tagean/ Tallano clan), then a congressman, and Bishop Enrique Sobrepena Sr, in the presence of Atty. Lorenzo Tanada, RECEIVED the gold in Manila.
A lease agreement was made between the Tallano clan and the Maharlika government. A total of 640,000 metric tons of gold was deposited in the newly installed Central Bankof the Maharlika to comply with its requirement for GOLD RESERVE. Under the terms of the contract, the Central Bank became the HOLDER of that gold. That LEASE agreement will EXPIRE in the year 2005.
In 1949, the two richest men in the world were Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz and Atty. Ferdinand E. Marcos. Between the two of them they legitimately earned and owned 192,000 metric tons of GOLD- from TALLANO CLAN and Maharlika Government.
There are 950,000 metric tons of Gold (decleared missing in the International Court of Justice) picked up by Yamashita from its European ally, Hitler.
The Tagean – Tallano gold started at 720,000 tons. 640,000 tons were transported to the Vatican and back, leaving 80,000 tons unaccounted from the outset.
Following this story there are 128,000 (80,000 plus 48,000) tons of gold which somehow ” slipped through the cracks” in addition to 192,000 earned in commission, WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.. Opppsss!!!
The POINT is that ultimately , a complete accounting should show where ALL of the original 720, 000 tons WENT- not to mention estimated 1.2 MILLION tons of Yamashita treasure (combined German and Japanese plunder) identified above (that is very nearly TWO MILLION TONS OF GOLD worth more than $38 TRILLION at todays price 2006)
WHAT ABOUT FR. DIAZ COMMISSION SHARED WITH FERDINAND MARCOS?
When Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz, died in 1974 all the 30% COMMISSION in gold became the legendary “MARCOS GOLD”. After providing for his family in Marcos Letter of Instruction, the whole wealth derived from this was supposed to be given to the FILIPINO PEOPLE. This was the “MARCOS WEALTH” that some POLITICIAN and CHURCHMEN kept on saying was the:
“ILL-GOTTEN” Marcos Wealth.
On April 9, 1973 Marcos said: “MY EARTHLY GOODS HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE CUSTODY AND FOR THE DISPOSITION OF THE MARCOS FOUNDATION DEDICATED TO THE WELFARE OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE.”
In June 1983, Marcos appeared before the First World leaders in Toronto. He announced his plan to boost economy of the Southeast Asia Region by creating ASIAN DOLLAR. This would be backed up by the 400,000 metric tons of gold inCentral Bank.
ABL of Marcos (Ang Bagong Lipunan – the Asian Dollar)
There is plenty of solid evidence of a program MARCOS worked on with American President Ronald Reagan, which referred to as the ABL (ANG BAGONG LIPUNAN) program. Under this program some 250 sets of gold , documentation and related ABLcurrency were to be shipped to various countries around the world.
BUT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT (AQUINO’S) DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ITS EXISTENCE.
Not only have SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS of the Philippines failed to ACKNOWLEDGE the existence of the GOLD, they have CONSPIRED to keep this information from being KNOWN to the Filipino People.
Immediately after Ferdinand Marcos was REMOVED from the office by a U.S MILITARY helicopter , the NEWLY installed PRESIDENT CORAZON AQUINO, formed the PCGG- Presidential Commission on Good Government, PURPORTEDLY to go after the Marcos – ILL GOTTEN WEALTH.
“IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CONSPIRATORS THAT THIS WEALTH SHOULD BE LABELLED “ILL – GOTTEN” even though, as has already been shown, MR. MARCOS was in his OWN RIGHT the WEALTHIEST MAN on the face of the EARTH and had absolutely no need to take anything from anyone.
THE ACCOUNTS WERE FROZEN at the request of the government of the Philippines and the PCGG has ensured they have remained FROZEN to this day.
Consequently, they MUST CONSTANTLY BORROW MONEY from International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB) with SO MUCH INTEREST so that this COUNTRY WILL REMAIN A SLAVE and SHACKLED to the foreign powers.
There was NOTHING SECRET about Marcos Accounts. These ACCOUNTS were ONLY MADE SECRET by some people in the government so that the PUBLIC would not know its REAL STORY.
During a talk show in U.S TV the week following the bombing of the New York Twin Towers, President BUSH was asked this question:
At the time they made sure that MARCOS would not longer talk. After kidnapping him from Malacanang, they put him in a golden prison in Hawaii.
This is an additional information regarding our Filipino Identity. If you look at our history all you can find is about the Spanish occupation when in fact there was already the Maharlika Empire before the Spanish came or the Americans but this was hidden from us by the colonizers Spain… I was able to gather information from a British Pianist in the year 2012 where he was assigned in one of the biggest church in Spain and because he was there as a church worker he was able to discover the identity of the Filipinos in the form of relics, native tools, clothes and pottery basically our whole identity before the Spaniards came to colonize our land for more than 330 years… that should be given back to us he said. That will tell us all what we need to know as the real history of the Philippines and not the Spanish occupation.

PHILIPPINES BURRIED SECRETS: HISTORY REVISITED (MARCOS UNTOLD STORIES)
NOT sure about the truth on all this but story
taken from: http://infograpix.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/philippines-burried-secrets-men-that.html
Certain names have loomed large in history of the Philippines over the past 100 years. Without being unjust to those who made a meaningful contribution to the independence and autonomy of the Philippines, it can be fairly claimed that the names which have attracted the most public attention are those of Jose Rizal, Ferdinand Marcos, Tomoyuki Yamashita, and perhaps Don Estaban Benitez Tallano.Everyone has their own story to tell of the good work of Rizal in terms of his patriotic writing : of Ferdinand Marcos and Martial Law : of Tomoyuki Yamashita and ”his buried treasure” : and of course the Tallano Clan and their claim as true title-holders of the ORIGINAL Spanish Land Title known as OCT No. T-01-4. The writer of this article holds that those four names are universal conversation pieces in the Philippines, and few evenings pass that one or another is not mentioned in conversation with friends and associates. One would imagine that with such names being universal conversation pieces, that nothing in their life has been spared intense scrutiny, and that there is nothing yet to be revealed about their respective lives.If there is nothing yet to be revealed about their lives, then please explain, among other mysteries, (a) Where one would find the grave of Rizal ? and (b) Why are there no Japanese visitors to the Shrine for Tomoyuki Yamashita ? In following pages we try to re-visit published history, with a view to bringing a clear understanding of the role that each played in the mysterious forces which acted to promote the Philippines we know today. Of course we shall need a starting point, and because it bears relevance to what we investigate, we choose as our starting point,The birth of QueenVictoria of E ngland, on 24 May, 1819. Now the published story of Queen Victoria’s birth at Kensington Palace was not entirely accurate, even though she did reach Kensington Palace on the same day as her birth. In fact, she arrived in this life somewhat earlier than expected, while her mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld was aboard a Dutch ship in the English channel, near Dover, as she sped to meet up with her husband at Kensington Palace for the expected birth.That variation between published fact and reality was simply to preserve the concept of ”born on English soil” on behalf of a woman destined to become the future Queen of England.
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 2
Again, what is not published, but is widely known within the ”establishment” of England, is that Queen Victoria was one of twins, and had a brother. That boy was, in all probability, autistic, a condition little understood at the material time, and the Courtiers decided that he was unsuitable to be raised in precincts of the Court, and while every facility possible was placed at his
disposal, he was kept separated from the Court, and educated privately. Badge of the North Borneo Company.Note the Lion of Scotland and the name McLeodIn his late twenties, the young man, brother of the Queen, moved to Borneo, then known as the Dutch East Indies, and became entranced with the life, adventure and business opportunity offered by that country. In conjunction with Baron von Overbeck, he formed and became Chairman of the North Borneo Company, which engaged in
exploitation of the natural resources of that country.
His name ? He was known as Prince Julian McLeod Tallano.Being of princely bearing, well educated and clearly wealthy, he was introduced to a number of eligible women, and eventually became enarmored of, and married, the Princess Tahata. Mark now that North Borneo was Muslim territory, and in taking his Muslim wife, Prince Julian McLeod Tallano converted to the Islamic faith, thus fusing the religious affiliations of both his motherland and Borneo, as he was a Prince of the royal blood. Likewise, that marriage interwove the fortunes of the two distinct ”Clans” of differing faiths.
Tallano as a Muslim, acquired seven wives, but still maintained the libertine pursuits of his early life. His pursuit of another Princess, and their liaison, beyond marriage, produced a male child. With connivance of the Catholic
Church, a means was found to provide for welfare of the child. Today one hears many stories of the orphan found in a basket outside the home of the Mercado family in Calamba, Laguna Province, about 50 kilometers south of Manila.The boy was raised by the Mercado family, and given the name Jose Protacio Mercado. The child grew, and proved to be extremely intelligent. He was incredibly active, and wanted to be the best at all he undertook. He referred to himself as Rex-Al (the King of all), which name soon became adapted to Rizal, and so we have Jose Protacio Rizal.
The child had been well provided for in terms of money, and while it was unusual for the times, he went to Madrid to study, since he was proficient in the Spanish language.
He followed to Germany, mastered the German language, and eventually took his medical degree in 1886. As a doctor, he now sought patients. There was resistance to eye surgery, because few chose to allow anyone to operate on their eyes, but one young
student at Heidelburg University was desperate to have her eyes corrected, and so that student, Josefine von Bracken, became the first patient of Jose Rizal.
Malacanang, note as you enter, the huge portrait of Jose Rizal.
Then turn 180 degrees to see a smaller portrait of Adolf Hitler
staring across the room at his father. It goes without saying that
those who plotted the financial strategies in Malacanang were
comfortably aware of the relationship between Rizal and Hitler,
and the portraits are testimony to their arcane knowledge.
With his fame spreading, Rizal went to Japan to perform an operation on the eyes of the Emperor, and once again, a daliance with a Japanese noblewoman, the Princess Keiko, produced a male child.
never took place. The Spanish ships had surrendered before the cannons of the American ships were unleashed to fire in the air. It is reported that one American died in his cabin of a heart-attack.
In that context, we pose again a question mentioned in opening paragraphs of this essay :-
History records that the Americans who WON the war, paid U.S. Twenty million to the Spanish LOSERS of the war. Quite apart from being a lot of money at the time, it would have to be the first and ONLY time in history that the winners paid a bounty to the losers of the war.
American government be eventually reverted to the real land owner, Don Esteban Benitez Tallano. Date of Inscription : February 7, 1898. (Signed) Fermin Jaudenes Y Alvarez AD, Interim Governor General, Royal Crown of Spain. ”End Quote”. That loan by Banco Espanol-Filipino was repaid within one year, and a further annotation to the OCT No. T-01-4 demonstrated the means by which the money was assembled. ”Quote”.
area of Bamban and Capaz, Tarlac, and correspondingly paid U.S. dollars
La Paz, Tarlac and he paid U.S. dollars 2,000,000, the land was given as a
gift to his girlfriend Miss Luisita Cojuangco. Don Mariano Tayag acquired
the area of Kuliat and Mabiga, 1,500 hectares (Pampanga) and paid U.S.
dollars 3,300,000. Don Francisco Macabulos acquired the area of Sta
Ignacia, Tarlac and paid U.S. dollars 2,400,000. Don Juan Ejercito acquired
absolutely the San Juan Del Monte Hacienda embracing up to Sitio
Mandaluyong consisting an area of 3,154 hectares and had corespondingly
paid U.S. dollars 3,300,000., and Don Esteban Benitez Tallano (Tagean)
maintained his rights, being the owner over the unacquired estate, and had
paid the balance of 6,600,000 U.S. dollars. Date of Inscription February 7,
1898. (Signed) Benito Legarda, Ad Interim Land Registrar. ”End Quote”.
In short, historical records demonstrate conclusively that succession from the
Spanish was purchased by Don Esteban Benitez Tallano (Tagean), and clearly
that arrangement had been reached several months prior to the I may, 1898
purported date for the ”Battle of Manila Bay”. The only conclusion that can be
reached in the light of such evidence, is that any ”Battle of Manila Bay” was a
staged performance as opposed to an act of war or aggression.
In that same context, we can conclude that the purported
execution of Rizal was an equivalent pantomine, and
history would repeat itself 48 years later, with the purported
execution at Los Banos, Laguna, of General Tomoyuki
Yamashita.
NO Japanese national will ever accept that General
Yamashita surrendered to the Americans. A Japanese
General of the highest order, and with connection to the
Royal Household, will NEVER surrender. Such a general is
bound by the code of honour of his calling, and MUST
commit harakiri, the ritual suicide signifying failure.
Thus, whoever is buried at Muntinlupa, south of Manila, that body is NOT the body of General Yamashita. We do not speculate on the escape, whereabouts or post-war activities of General Yamashita, but our hypothesis that he was not the victim of the gallows designed to despatch him, is reinforced by the fact that NO Japanese national pays homage at the Shrine to General Yamashita, for the very good reason that every Japanese national KNOWS that his surrender was impossible, and that some undefined politically inspired pantomine has played havoc in obscuring the true course of events.
universities, that Yamashita became the lover of lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, a beautiful debutante, which liasion continued after her marriage to Albert, the then Duke of York. As the fates ordained, Albert, a sickly man, who never expected to become King, was thrust into that position as King George VI, when his elder brother Edward VIII abdicated the throne in order to wed his paramour, the twice divorced Mrs. Wallace Simpson. The remarkable aspect of the affair between Yamashita and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, if it has substance, is that the present Queen Elizabeth II could well be a daughter of General Yamashita, and therefore, a grand-daughter of Jose Antonio Rizal..
• Jose Rizal is the father of two further important figures in world history,
with those figures being the German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, and the
Japanese General Tomoyuki Yamashita.
• The death of Rizal by firing squad is disclosed as a well orchestratedpantomine, equally as the Battle of Manila, and post that pseudo firingsquad event, Jose Rizal became the Reverend Father Jose AntonioDiaz.• As the son of Prince Julian McLeod Tallano, Rizal (now as Rev. Father.Jose Antonio Diaz), was entrusted wth the relocation and management
of the massive wealth of the Tallano Clan, and perhaps the fused assets
of his British relatives..
• Thus the movement of 600,000 metric tonnes of gold from the Vatican to
Manila to facilitate establishment of the first Central Bank of the
Philippines. (Recall that the Tallano Clan were the principal land-owners
of the Philippines, as evidenced by the ORIGINAL land title OCT No. T-
01-4).
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 7
• The Rev. Fr., Jose Antonio Diaz recognised the brilliance of FerdinandMarcos, and appointed him as counsel to all activities of Diaz relative tostorage, safe-keeping and employment of the wealth of his father’s Clan,that of the Clan Tallano.• It is well known that Hitler had sent his treasure ships of looted gold andvaluables to Egypt for safe storage, but when Field Marshall Montgomerydefeated Field Marshall Irwin von Rommel in the North Africa campaign,he had no option other than to redirect those ships toward Japan, his lastremaining ally.• Fate again intervened, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thus hastening the Japanesesurrrender, and causing Hitler to redirect his treasure ships to thePhilippines.
• With the end of World War II, and recognition that the Japanese underPrince Chichibu had stored massive looted wealth in the Philippines,Rizal, in his role as Rev. Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz, had little difficulty in identifying valuable burial sites, as he could elicit information directly from his son, General Tomoyuki Yamashita.
• Equally, he would have sound information from his first born son, AdolfHitler, as to location of the Nazi loot. (Hitler did not commit suicide in theBerlin bunker as popularly accepted, but left Templehof Airport in Berlinvia a 109 Messerschmitt, and flown to neutral Spain, where he cameunder protection of General Franco. Later, he returned to the Cebu of hisyouth, and ended his life in the Philippines).
• Thus, the recovery from several sites which yielded massive quantities of gold bullion, precious stones and other valuables.
• The recovered valuables were of course under embargo due to the
Statute of Limitations, but Marcos, with Presidential powers and
authorities, was able to influence world banks and significant authoritiesto aid and abet him in ”placing” those assets so that the inherent valuewas preserved in favour of those agreed by Marcos and Diaz to be theultimate beneficiaries. Does all of the above sound a little too far-fetched to attract ready acceptance
as probable ? Does it defy acceptance ? Then let us examine a few aspects and compare those aspects with the historical record.
• If there was no subterfuge in the ”Battle of Manila Bay”, then why was the considerable sum of U.S. Twenty million paid by the victor to the loser of that supposed ”war” ?
• While the Americans took credit in the Treaty of Paris for settling the sum of U.S. Twenty million in favour of the Spanish, we have demonstrated via notations on Land Deeds that the money was actually paid by Philippine land-owners.
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 8
• Let us now look to a document of the Philippine Courts, where we referto the Pasay City DECISION WITH COMPROMISE AGREEMENT, dated 4 February, 1972. There is mention, at page 20, of the last surviving son of Prince Julian McLeod Tallano in the person of Jose Antonio Diaz. That name Jose Antonio Diaz is again quoted at the bottom of page 18 : ”Quote”
3. ”That the gold bullion lent by the Royal Family to the Republic of the Philippines, consisting of 650,000 metric tonnes now, through Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz by arrangement of the brilliant lawyer Attorney Ferdinand E. Marcos in the year 1949, for the establishment of the required gold reserves of the newly installed Central Bank of the Philippines, should be maintained in the Central Bank vaults toward maintenance of the country’s gold reerves, and the same shall be withdrawable fifty years thereafter, with five years moratorium”.
Further at page 21 :
That the said 640,000 metric tonnes of gold nuggets transported by
then surviving son of Prince Julian McLeod Tallano from the Vatican after the World War, in the person of Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz, trustee of the Royal Family, and client of then Attorney Ferdinand E. Marcos deserves a just compensation for no less than 30 % of the total value of the said 640,000 metric tonnes. ”End Quote”.
The above LRC Civil Case 3957-R is final and executory, the law of the land, and unfortunately, under temporary injunction following an urgent motion for Annulment of Judgment filed by the former Solicitor General Simeon Marcelo, in July, 2002, at instruction of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. (Case CA-GR SP No. 70014, based on ”alleged nullity of proceedings”.) Could it be that the intention of the oligarchs is permanent injunction, so that the gold can either be stolen, or diverted to a purpose never intended by those who provided the means for the Philippines to establish its own Central Bank ?
Certainly there is no apparent justice for the true owners of the gold, and one might well ask – Why does the Administration wait thirty years to bring a case for ”nullity of proceedings”, when the matter was resolved by the Courts, and made final and executory on 4 February, 1972 ?
Repeating – Why would an Administration wait thirty years to challenge a matter which was judicially determined, and enforceable at law ? Has corruption so permanently entered the mainstream of government that they seek to change history to cover both misfeasance and malfeasance during their tenure ? Only time will tell, but it is clear that the Court has not been expedient in dealing with the case filed in July, 2002, and so it could be a strategy to allow the matter to lay undecided for an indefinite period, and perhaps beyond the life span of legitimate claimants.
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 9
The unaswered question is – WHY ?
One is reminded of the American humorist MARK TWAIN, who in 1866
said :-
liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in
session. Or perhaps even of PERICLES, who, in 430 BC said :-
Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean
politics won’t take an interest in you.
So, now that we have made a brief journey through historical events which shaped the nation known as the Republic of the Philippines, we can reflect on what we have learned, and endeavour to speculate as to what motivated President Marcos and Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz to join forces in accumulating and placing massive wealth.
• The writer believes it is fair to state that President Marcos had a
consuming passion to make the Philippines the most stable and
progressive state in the Asian community.
• As a lawyer, Senator and later President, it can be accepted that he was perfectly familiar with the land title claim of the Tallano Clan, and equally well aware of the massive gold deposit made by that Clan to establish the first Central Bank of the Philippines.
• His initial meeting with Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz must have been a revelation, because his legal brain would rapidly recognise that he was in presence of a man who represented wealth, royalty, power and influence, and just as quickly, he recognised the outgrowth of that relationship in terms of his longer term vision for the Philippines.
• It is no secret that President Marcos and Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz enjoyed a harmonious relationship lasting many years, and that they actively cooperated in multiple financial adventures designed to achieve each of their individual objectives.
• Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz enjoyed a unique distinction in terms of the purposes of Marcos in placing and securing valuable assets, in that he was a ”persona ecclesiae”, a parson, where the assets at his disposal were nominally those of the church, and thus Diaz held patrimony of those assets in his own name, essentially as a ”corporation sole”.
• President Marcos obviously designed the legal strategies which
encompassed and preserved the wealth, while Rev. Fr. Jose Antonio
Diaz provided the wealth and high-level connection necessary to
successfully domicile that wealth as instructed by President Marcos.
• In one unique area, Rev. Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz could identify wealth concealed by the Japanese and German forces, and the legal strategiesof President Marcos could provide the domicile and protection for that
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 10
recovered wealth, and so such recoveries became the centre-piece of their financial engagements.
• It was no easy task. Any recovery from a burial site would contain asset subject of the Statute of Limitations, and if fully disclosed would attract multiple claimants. Marcos played his role masterfully by dealing astutely with the financial ”hyenas” who habitually prey upon such assets, and several arrangements with the Pentagon, United Nations, International Monetary Fund and other august bodies preserved the assets through permitting their use by the scavengers, but retaining title to the involved principal.
• Deposits with banks were largely made under ”bailment” conditions, thus assuring their security until such time as the Statute of Limitations
lapsed.
• The ultimate beneficiary was kept concealed via use of a coded
identification, TVM-LSM-666, and all critical documents referred to the beneficiary exclusively under that code-name.
• Finally the assignments were made, wherein the beneficiary was fully identified by name. Originals of such assignments were handed exclusively to the chosen beneficiary, with copy to the concerned holding institution, to thus assure a trouble-free assumption of the accounts bythe beneficiary at maturity.
• That beneficiary has been identified. Significantly, the beneficiary is again a ”persona ecclesiae”, and thus the multiple assignments can be activated by that beneficiary in accord with the confidential ”Letter of Instruction” executed by Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz, and in the event of death or incapacity of that beneficiary, may equally be passaged to the next intended beneficiary under like conditions. Now the question might well be asked :–
• ”What exactly was the origin of the purported 600,000 metric tonnes of gold bullion subscribed by the Clan Tallano to support establishment of the Central Bank of the Philippines ?”
• ”Was it Vatican Gold ?”
• ”Could Tallano have acquired such a massive store of wealth as a result of a successful business career in the Dutch East Indies ?”
The question is easily answered if one has followed the ebb and flow of power and influence on the global financial scene over the past one hundred years. In the first instance, Prince Julian McLeod Tallano controlled not only his own fortune and business income, but had an interest in the fortune of his British family, and acquired the wealth of his wife the Princess Tahata upon marriage.
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 11
And the wealth of his British family ? Fabulous. The Kings and Queens of England were drawn largely from the German nobility, and they, through land ownership via conquest, had amassed major fortunes, the majority of which was in gold. Moreover, in the immediate post World War II aftermath, those Kings and Queens were well aware of the chilly winds of Republicanism blowing through their domains, and having lost both land and fortunes to the fates of war, had turned to the church as depository of their remaining wealth in order to gain the patronage of that august influence. The prevailing thought was, where safer to park your fortune than with the richest influence on earth, and therefore trustworthy and beyond venality ?
They neglected to consider that the Rothschild banking family had taken control of the Vatican finances in 1863, and that while they were nominally protected by the ”Vatican”, their wealth was at disposal of the Rothschild family of bankers. England, least feared the winds of Republicanism due to an arrangement
struck with the government when Britain became bankrupt following a major Sovereign Debt Default, which involved the
then Monarch paying all of the debts of the country, and assigning certain lands to the country in exchange for permanent
recognition of the existing Monarchy, plus a stipend to perform that role, and had, with connivance of the church, formed that one
square mile of land now known as the ”City of London” to handle the financial affairs of the ”crown”.
In that same context, it must be noted that Britain is owned ”lock, stock and barrel” by the Vatican due to breach of Treaty considerations surrounding Magna Carta. The Queen, although the nominal head of the Church of England, is instructed directly by the Roman Pontiff. That condition has been ”in place”
since Magna Carta, and will remain whilever the prevailing Treaties remain in existence.
So, if Prince Julian McLeod Tallan had proposed to his British relatives that 600,000 metric tonnes of gold should be loaned for purpose of funding a new Central Bank in the Philippines, who would object ?
• The City of London, with its close ties to the Bank of England had long recognised that a Central Bank was a prolific revenue earner, based upon the issue of credits as opposed to assignment of existing specie.
• The Rothschilds banking fraternity, as controllers of the Vatican wealth would have no objection, as such a situation favoured their possible later acquisition of the new Central Bank as an extension of their grip on the existing Bank of England, and longer term plan to amalgamate the Central Banks of the world..

• The Vatican itself would not object, since the gold was destined for use of a dominently Catholic community. Voila ! Prince Julian McLeod Tallano would clearly have little difficulty in raising the requisite 600,000 metric tonnes of gold, even if he did not have access to that volume from his personal resources, or Muslim family affiliations. In all truth, there were even more powerful under-currents at work long before the period in which Prince Julian McLeod Tallano assembled the 600,000 metric tonnes of gold. The centuries old fight for supremacy and world hegemony between the British and Spanish crowns was in full force and effect, and there were religious interests seeking to extend their influence in the form of Islam approaching from the south, and the Catholic Church, as motivator of Spain obliged them to approach the Philippines with a Bible in one hand, and a sword in the other.
The British proved to be diplomatically superior in their efforts, as evidenced by production of the Decree known as the 01-4 Protocol.
In 1764, the Royal Crown of England, Great Britain, decided case No. 571 in the Escribania de Cabildo and ordered the creation of the Hacienda of the Philippine Islands pursuant to the Decree of 01-4 Protocol, by virtue of the Supreme Order of the Royal Crown of England embracing four major islands
Consisting of 169,972,500 hectares of plains, mountains, forests, and seas, specifically the island of Luzon 31,804,624 hectares, the islands of Palawan 3,652,875 hectares, Visayan Islands 45,996,215 hectares, and Mindanao with 83,518,786 hectares more or less. “Witness His Highness King George III of the Royal Crown of England, January 17, 1764, issued at Manila at 10.45 a.m.
attested by Governor General Downsone Drake, British Governor, P.I., signed Governor Jose Raon, Office of the Escribania de Cabildo, Proprietary Governor.”
Clever was it not ? The land mass became the property of the Tallano Clan, and when the Treaty of Paris was executed in 1898, the victor was obliged to recognise the Tallano Clan as true title holders to the land mass of the Philippines. The British had protected their interests in South-East Asia in a daring move which had assigned the land to ”one of their own”, the family of Prince Julian McLeod Tallano, brother of Queen Victoria, thus defeating all efforts of the Spanish to retain possession of the archipelago. And so we can repeat that Prince Julian McLeod Tallano would have experienced no difficulty whatever in assembling the 600,000 metric tonnes of gold, because it all stayed ”in the family”. It would be a valid assumption to suggest that Britain held the dominant position from date of issue of the Decree of 01-4 protocol. The Spanish were in possession of the Philippine Islands but lost their colonial powers to the USA.
The Spanish tried to maintain a foot-hold with their invalid “Titulo de Propriedad” in the name of Hermogenes Rodriguez, and with many Spanish land titles coming from “Friars land” as if the Friars were the original owners of land in the Philippines.
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 13
The Friars were not, and never were, original land owners. The owners of the land are indisputably the Royal Family of the Philippines, the Tallano-Tagean Clan, originally in the name of Prince Lacan Acuna Tallano (Tagean). In order to appreciate the intrinsic value of gold at the time of deposit to Central Bank of the Philippines, it must be recalled that gold was then regularly traded
at between 27 and 30 dollars per troy ounce, and NOT the one thousand dollars plus figure we note today. Even allowing a then price of USD 1,000,000 per metric tonne, the value of the deposit at date of completion would have been in the order of USD Six hundred billion. Today of course, that value is in excess of Thirty trillion dollars, but the loan was a bailment which established the credit-worthiness of the new Central Bank, and so the appreciated value is of no concern, because the contract calls simply for return of the original deposit as gold, plus agreed interest.
The key question is – Will it ever happen ? Note the words of Albert Einstein : ”The world is a dangerous place to live ; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it”. The currently undecided Case CA-GR SP No. 70014, based on ”alleged nullity of proceedings”, lays on the Court table, unheard, at eight years after its filingin 2002.
The intention of the oligarchs is unclear, but it is certainly unprecedented for an administration to challenge the law of the land by seeking to overturn a ruling which became executory some thirty years prior to challenge. We should not leave this essay without some further explanation of the activities and role of
Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz / Jose Rizal in the momentous events which have so markedly impacted Philippine history.
It can be shown that the Reverend Father was not a passive participant in the looting and reallocation of the gold and treasure of Europe and Asia, but took an active role in its movement
and processing. His academic achievements are well documented in multiple publications, but here we are far more interested in his activities relative to looted treasure.Little is officially known or recorded about a certain Jose Antonio Diaz de la Paz who became Papal Nuncio and was invited to be the new Pope in February 1922. He declined. He had more important things to do. He was chosen by the Royal Families to be the trustee for all the gold left by the Royal Families (they had entrusted him already with their eyes, and so they could as readily entrust him their gold) which was now lying secretly in the Vatican’s
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 14
caverns in Benevento, Italy. Jose Antonio Diaz (formerly Jose P. Rizal) decided he would bring all the gold to the Philippines. Nobody would look for it there. It did not last long. There seemed to be a build-up for another war. The former owners of the gold got nervous, Pope Pius XI got old. All the while Hitler’s SS silently and secretly ransacked the far-away bonded warehouses of the British banks and brought the gold (more often than not in submarines) to Singapore where it was delivered and handed over in brief ceremonies to the Japanese Imperial Army under Hitler’s half-brother Tomiyuki Yamashita.
The submarines headed back, so that nobody would discover the subterfuge. Jose Antonio Diaz shipped the 650,000 metric tonnes back to the Vatican, with the quip -. “If that is what you want !” Note : 10 years later Pope Pius XII asked him to bring it
back to Manila (see Agana Decision)
There were no telecommunications in the form we understand today but we can imagine that Jose Antonio Diaz (or Jose P. Rizal), Adolf Hitler, and Tomoyuki Yamashita knew what they were doing.
They were the original axis powers established during the Berlin Olympics (where Japan’s Emperor Hirohito visited Hitler), formalised with Italy in the 1940 Tripartite Pact. They did the planning and they plundered the gold, Hitler in the West, Japanese forces in the East. They came together and met in Singapore, which was then officially a British crown colony, and had the smelting of the gold done by the expert German company, DEGUSSA. From there, the gold was brought to the Philippines to be buried under supervision of Prince Chichibu, and to become known as the
infamous “Yamashita treasure”.
We are talking of a time prior to the start of WWII, generally accepted as being
September 1, 1939 when Hitler ordered his generals to take Poland in one day.
We could argue that the start of WWII was much earlier, perhaps in 1937 when
the Imperial Japanese Army raided and took China, killing more than 300,000
Chinese during one day in Nanking. That was 6 years after Japan had started
the military invasion of China in order to capture the Manchuria Province in
China’s North which had all the natural resources that Japan so importantly
needed in order to support a war effort. It was also in 1931 that Japan started
to invade, albeit silently, the Philippines. Mostly civil engineers in disguise, the
Japanese started to build a wide array of tunnels and caves. Thus indicating
that they prepared well ahead for the burial of the gold that would come from
Europe and China.
The gold that Hitler and his Japanese allies stole from the
richest of the rich on both sides, from those who had
money enough to buy gold, stash it away in secret bank
vaults, so that they would not have to pay tax, was listed,
immediately following the war, in the International Court of
Justice (World Court) in The Hague, Holland. The total of
the missing gold was 946,000 metric tonnes, and it is still missing.
The World Court had ruled that all gold found from buried treasure in the
Philippines would, legally, belong to the Original Claimants of WWII Loot.
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 15
Until today there has not been a single claimant. The claims are listed per country (there are 13 countries claiming), no names of persons or families are tendered. The Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, The International Bank for Settlement, The International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank, are patently aware of the location of the gold, and to them it is the same as if the gold was stashed secretly in America.
So, Jose Protacio Rizal / Reverend Father Jose Antonio Diaz de la Paz was an active participant in concealment and masking of the stolen treasures of World War II. Yes he was a patriot. Yes he was an accomplished and sophisticated person. Yes, he was a friend of royalty across a broad spectrum, and to the end he served the Philippines, as his Letter of Instruction which details what is to be done with the accumulated wealth, demands that its primary objective be specific projects for betterment of the Philippines. Whether subscribing to the accuracy of published history, or influenced by the revelations of this essay, it must be admitted that Jose Rizal was first and foremost a patriot, even if his modus operandi was unorthodox in the extreme.
Perhaps we should silently hope that his vision is realised, along with that of President Marcos, his accomplice in the world’s most incredible seizure and conversion of stolen wealth. The Philippines cries out for administrative reform. It has a poverty index equavalent to sub- Sahara Africa, and Land Reform, which
should be a keystone in correcting that situation is totally ignored by all administrations.
Hernando de Soto in his master-piece ”The Mystery of Capital” provided a profound study of the Land Laws of the Philippines, and
demonstrated conclusively that Land Reform was the key element in the elimination of poverty and awakening of the entrepreneural spirit that is the backbone of every great nation.
• Perhaps such reform is frustrated by considerations surrounding the Land Title OCT No. T 01-4, but the present representatives of the Tallano Clan are not ogres, and genuinely subscribe to the suggestion that Land Reform is critical, and they will cooperate in a meaningful way to assist such reform.
• In terms of infrastructure, the beneficiary known by the Code TVM-LSM- 666 is equally enthusiastic to share the vision of President Marcos and Rev. Fr. Diaz to assure that the Philippines becomes the most stable and progressive state in the Asian community.
A-100-030-Q-001. Page 16
• The individual entrepreneurmanship of the Philippine national is
evidenced by an underground economy which has been suggested as larger than the published figures of gvernment. Ergo, the three critical elements for reform in all aspects of empowerment of the Philippines are present, in way, means and will. What then will be the catalyst which fuses those critical elements into a national upwelling of interest to generate a Philippines of promise ?
If one were to provide a definition of government, we can suggest that such a definition would be :-
”To provide and maintain an environment in which its people may live peacefully and prosper”. If we can accept that definition, perhaps we are obliged to look to the administration as the catalyst which fuses the way, means and will. Let them lead, and the people will follow in devout appreciation of the opportunity to assume control of their own lives. Tax revenues will increase, harmony will reign within the population, and all will be well with the world.
Where is the leader who will recognise the available tools, then grasp the initiative, and lead the Philippines toward the destiny so long planned, and so painfully delayed, by forces concerned more with their own welfare than welfare of the country they were elected to manage with perception and integrity ?

72 THOUGHTS ON “LOST LAND OF MAHARLIKA”
Evangel Ric Lapore 
THE MAHARLIKA ISLANDS: THE TRUE STORY
(A Position Paper by HRH. Al-Sharif (Ashrf) Maulana Paduka Ahmad Carpenter Yu Tiamco Arpa-V Ibni Maharaja Adinda Taup Angging (Anddin) Zein (Zainal) Ul-Abidin ULRijal Bolkiah Tagean Al-Marhum Sultan Shariful Hashim Abu’Bkr Mohamad Shah of the Maharlika Sultanates)
BRIEF STATEMENT OF FACTS:
“During the Majapahit Empire which is entirely part of Southeast Asia, and the capital surrounding the islands of Sulu, the name Maharlika was respected by the Datus and Rahas, and all the leaders of the society. The name also empowers strength, winning not only in battles, but in morals and love among people….Moreover, the word is deeply grounded within the Dravidian and Austronesian ancestral traditions and heritage of the peoples in the region.“

It is a historical fact that long before Spanish occupation of the Philippines, this great archipelago was ruled by Royal families and nobilities. However, this historical fact has been buried into oblivion and forgetfulness and had been passed on to the people’s consciousness as myths and legends that whenever one talks of a once great kingdom, the story seems so fantastical to warrant any belief.
To correct such a great mistake in history, there must be a collective effort on our part to bring out the true story. Such a herculean task must be begun so that every Maharlikan-Filipino can take pride knowing their historical roots and learning the giants whose shoulder we are all sitting.
THE BEGINNING.
Long before the Spaniards came to Philippines shores, the Philippine archipelago consisting of 7,169 islands with an area of 1,049,212,962 nautical square miles, including Guam and Hawaii was known as Maharlika. It was populated by Malays and ruled by the Tagean Tallano clans from the ninth to the fifteenth century. When the Spaniards started ruling the Philippines archipelago, they renamed it Hacienda Filipina.
Of the many kingdoms in Asia, Maharlika was one of them under King Luisong Tagean Tallano, the father of Raja Lapu-Lapu and Raja Soliman, the successors of King Marikudo of the Sri Vishayan Empire. Its principal products at that time were peanuts (mani) exported to Mexico and European countries and Herbal plants known as “Nilad” with some medicinal qualities which were exported to Mainland China. With the passage of time, the Chinese traders changed the name Maharlika to Maynilad or Maynila.
As in olden days, the kings and their families own their kingdoms and distribute portions to their subjects, especially to the members of the royal clans.
The reign of the royal family of the Philippines had started as early in the l3th century, about 200 years yet before the Spanish came to our shores. The noble family was headed then by the late King Luisong Tagean married to Lamayan Bowan.
According to the Philippine Historical Commission; the entire Greater Manila area was under the territories of Namayan then some five (5) centuries ago which was divided into seven (7) districts which included said Greater Manila areas including the former Karilaya Island (now Quezon province), which include the whole region of Kawit (now Cavite) and that lake region; the province of Laguna including portions of Batangas (Bumbon province before).
The origin of their inhabitants from mentioned places came from the noble family names Lacan-Tagean centuries ago and by his wife Lamayan Bowan. The noble tribes were the owners of said territories and they controlled the areas and inhabited it themselves for more than five (5) centuries ago and it was passed by more than ten (10) generations of their clans. Some of these were their children and grand children, like the names of Rajah Lacan-Tagean, the 11th son of Rajah Soliman who is married to Mary Anne Dent, the beautiful daughter of Alfred Dent, a British Lord. Rajah Soliman is the second son of the King who controlled the entire area of Manila and its suburbs including the provinces of Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, Laguna and Quezon.
Another grandson is Rajah Lakandula who took over Tondo during the untimely demise of Rajah Soliman. The 3rd eldest grandson is Rajah Gat Mauban who is married to the daughter of Bornean Sultan Abdul Kahar, the Sultan of Brunei. Rajah Soliman had a son named Prince Lacan Tagean that was adopted from his grandmother Margarett Acuña Macleod Tagean. The Prince was married to Princess Rowena Ma. Elizabeth Overbeck of Austria and in the same manner has a begotten son who is the Prince Julian Macleod Tallano who is married to Princess Aminah Kiram and their descendant Rajah Magat Salamat took over the area of Cagayan Valley, while Rajah Baginda, another grandson had covered the area of Bohol, and Rajah Lapulapu, the eldest son of the King took over the Island of Mactan, while Rajah Kolambo, the 8th grandson is the ruler of the Island of Cebu. Rajah Gat Mauban took the eastern part of the Province of Quezon including Mauban, Sampaloc and Lukban to protect the interest of his grandson Vicente Lukban.
For reference, Manila started some thousand years ago, born out from the very womb of Rio de Tagean (now Pasig) river. The seat of the most powerful Datu, the King Luisong Tagean, which was inherited by his son Rajah Soliman and later by his grandson Lacan Tagean and his Royal Family, was not in Manila but in Lamayan District, now the Malacanang Palace. The evolution of Tagean Clan into Tallano Clan served as catalyst in their claims and interest in land against the Spanish government until such time when foreign intervention, like the British Royal Government started in l76l, had successfully invaded and liberated the Filipino people from the Spanish colonization in October l4, l764. The American government took its role and settled the inhabitants’ perennial land problems by cessation treaty at the acquisition cost of U.S. Dollar 20 million. Such amount had been provided by Tallano Tagean Clan through the King’s son, Lacan-Tagean Tallano. One condition in the said accord, the British and the Spanish governments, and the US government as well, and any foreign dominion, should respect the inhabitants’ private ownership and interest in land. As a result of this treaty, another treaty, the Treaty of Paris, came into being, also containing the precondition that private rights and interest in lands in the Philippines would be respected.
The Treaty of Paris was signed April 4, l894. Upon signing it, the Spanish Royal Crown through its Queen sent Hermogenes and Miguel Rodriguez to the Philippines to assist the recovery of the Hacienda Quebega together with Hacienda Filipina by the Tagean Tallanos. Instead, they connived to carve out some of the best land for themselves. The Queen commanded them to cease and desist and reconvey from their landholdings the whole Hacienda Filipina, the archipelago with title OCT 0l-4 in the name of Prince Lacan Acuña Tagean-Tallano or to his son Prince Julian Macleod Tallano, the grandson of Alfred Dent, a British Lord and London merchant and part owner of Royal British North Borneo Company.
The court had ruled that the invaders were not the Spanish Royal Crown and neither the Great Americans but merely the Spanish Filipino mestizos who have vested interest to grab the archipelago.
A further evidence that the archipelago was the property of the Royal Family was written in Sung and Ming dynasty between the year l368 to l644 AD by the Chinese Emperor Yung Lo. As a symbol for the respect and due recognition of the Chinese Empire to the nobility of the King over his land ownership and rulership of the archipelago, the Chinese Emperor gave him a gift of silk cloth and several tons of precious metals like gold and jewels as a token of tribute to the Noble King whose name, King Luisong Tagean, was adapted in the naming of the largest island in his honor, the island of Luzon. Foreign traders regarded him as the sole ruler over the Archipelago; his ownership remained as an historic landmark; he never gained any resistance or opposition of any kind from various tribes of the inhabitants, meaning they directly admitted that the vast land of the archipelago was owned by the Tagean-Tallano Royal Clan, who discovered, rebuilt, glorified and fortified it for thousands of years. The inhabitants of the islands of Visayas and Mindanao acknowledged his rule by paying their share of their harvest from the lands they were tilling for and in behalf of the Royal Family.
King Luisong Tagean died in December 17, 1764 who left of nothing but noble teachings and his bounty of bullion of gold, 720,000 metric tons, as legacies to his royal children and descendants, and to the inhabitants of Maharlika Islands. He died nine (9) months after the issuance of the declaration of said treaty, died in peace and happiness. He died upon learning the positive fruits of his efforts which was the issuance of land title over the archipelago in his honor issued by the British Government embracing 7,169 islands and around 503,877 square nautical miles under OCT No. T-0l-4 and in the name of his grandson, Prince Lacan Tagean on January 17, 1764 and later to l6 year-old Prince Julian Macleod Tallano in 1780.
THE SPANIARDS. When the Spaniards came, full control of the islands remained with the descendants of King Luisong, specifically Raja Lapu-Lapu and his successors for Visayas and Mindanao and Raja Soliman and his successors for Luzon. Like conquerors of all kinds, the Spaniards started grabbing lands and distributed them to favored members of the conquering group, thereafter named Haciendas. Because of the land grabbing activities of the Spanish conquistadores, the descendants of King Luisong brought these questionable activities of the conquering armies of Spain to the attention of the Spanish Queen leading to the setting aside of many royal land grants and the issuance of titulo possessorio to become titulo de compra embracing the whole Philippine archipelago in favor of the Tallano clans.
THE BRITISH. In 1762, the British Royal Armies came to Manila with the purpose of defeating the abusive Spanish armies. Finally, in 1764 the British won over the Spaniards. The British Royal Government then issued a Royal Decree, Protocol 01-4 based on the Laws of the West Indies, amending the property rights of King Philip of Spain over the Philippines and granting ownership of the Philippine archipelago to the Tagean Tallano clans. After the signing of the peace accord between the royal governments of Spain and Britain, the Queen of Spain recognized the property rights over the Philippine archipelago based on the Maura Law.
THE TREATY OF PARIS. With the defeat of the Spanish Armada to the forces of the United States of America in the Battle of Manila Bay, Spain and America concluded the end of the War by signing the Treaty of Paris where the Philippines was sold for $20 Million U.S. Dollars. The winning bidder who paid the said amount in U.S. gold coins was DON ESTEBAN BENITEZ TALLANO, the predecessor in interest of PRINCE JULIAN MORDEN TALLANO. By virtue of the said payment, the Oficina de Cabildo recognized and affirmed Royal Decree 01-4 Protocol and registered as TITULO DE COMPRA in favor of PRINCE LACAN ACUNA ULRIJAL BOLKIAH (TAGEAN) TALLANO.
TORRENS TITLE. With the American administration in the Philippines, the ownership of the TALLANO CLANS was strengthened further by the passage of Act No. 496 which gave rise to the Torrens Title. Land registration proceedings based on the said law were undertaken which affirmed the ownership and title of the Tallano Clans over the Philippine archipelago on October 3, 1904 as Original Certificate of Title (OCT) 01-4. Furthermore, when Cadastral Act No. 2259 of 1913 was passed, again the cadastral court recognized the ownership and title of the TALLANO CLANS over the whole Philippine Archipelago, still as OCT 01-4.
A Torrens title is indefeasible which means it cannot be defeated by any claimant who has no title or whose title is issued later. It is also imprescriptibly which means that it does not prescribe. Even if a person who has no title or a fake title occupies a land duly titled for a million years, the titled owner of the land concerned can drive away any occupant who has no title or a later title over the land.
In the Philippines, there is no titled issued earlier than OCT 01-4.
DOCUMENTS ATTESTING TO THE EXISTENCE AND GENUINENESS OF THE TITLES OF THE TALLANO CLANS OVER THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. The following are the official documents duly certified attesting to and confirming the genuineness and validity of the TALLANO ownership and title over the lands embracing the Republic of the Philippines:
Registration of Decree 01-4 protocol by virtue of the Supreme Order of the Royal Crown of England was done through Case No. 571 of the Royal Audiencia decreeing that PRINCE LACAN ACUNA TALLANO TAGEAN is the owner in fee simple of certain lands known as HACIENDA FILIPINA on January 17, 1764 at 10:45 in the morning, by authority of King George III of the Royal Crown of England, signed by GOVERNOR GENERAL DOWNSSONE DRAKE, British Governor, Philippine Islands.
NUMBER OF ANNOTATIONS: There are about 19 pages of annotations describing the transactions involving the land registered under OCT T-01-4. Other than the ones quoted in the preceding paragraphs you have the following interesting annotations:
Entry ODC-074, S-2-7, 1899 confirms the previous mortgage of U.S. $20,000,000.00 and later paid with the money of General Miguel Malvar who paid the amount of U.S. $3,300,000.00 for the area of Tanauan, Batangas; General Antonio Luna acquired the whole San Miguel and La Paz, Tarlac and paid U.S. $2,000,000.00 for it and giving the land as a gift to his sweetheart Miss Luisita Cojuangco; Don Mariano Tayag acquired 1,500 hectares of Kuliat and Mabiga, Pampanga and paid U.S.$3,300,000.00 for it; Don Francisco Macabulos acquired the area of Sta. Ignacia, Tarlac and paid U.S. $2,400,000.00; Don Juan Ejercito acquired the area of San Juan del Monte Hacienda embracing up to Sitio, Manduluyong consisting of 3,154 hectares for U.S. $3,154,000.00 and the remaining un-acquired areas were retained by Don Esteban Benitez Tallano and paid the amount of U.S. $6,600,000.00 for the remaining balance of the loan. This was inscribed on February 7, 1899 by Benito Legarda, Ad Interin. Land Registrar.
Entry EDC-096, S-1900 Real estate mortgage by Don Esteban Benitez Tallano of a commercial lot of 250 hectares in Centro Intramuros in favor of Banco-Filipino Español for P1,500,000.00 for the establishment of the Manila Daily Bulletin which sum was received by Messrs. H. G. Farris and Carson Taylor Date of document is February 3, 1902 and inscribed on November 13, 1902 by H. K. Sleepper, Land Registration Officer.
Entry PLA-061, S-6-1, 1903. Deed of Assignment made by Don Esteban Benitez Tallano in favor of the Sultanates of Mindanao/Sulu of the direct bloodline lineage of the three Datu-Sultans of Mindanao/Sulu under the 1825 Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram-I (father of 1858-1861 Sulu Sultan Pulalun and cousin Maharaja Adinda Taup) heirs, relatives of Don Esteban Benitez Tallano, the whole lands of the provinces of Sulu, Lanao, Cotabato, and Zamboanga to prevent the escalation of hostilities in the South.
There are many more interesting annotations at the back of OCT 01-4 like Entry CLRO-01123, S-1904 regarding the yearly rental paid by the US Government to Don Esteban Benitez Tallano in Baguio City for the site now known as Camp John Hay.
OCT NO. 01-4 was certified true, correct and genuine and existing at the Office of the Register of Deeds of Pasig, Rizal with the caveat that the original document was forwarded to the Office of the Register of Deeds of Manila in 1960 for jurisdictional purpose. The certification was issued by JOSE D. SANTOS, Register of Deeds of the Province of Rizal at Pasig on March 4, 1965.
DERIVATIVE TITLES AND CERTIFICATION OF GENUINENESS AND THEIR EXISTENCE IN OFFICIAL FILES: There are two Transfer Certificates of Title based on OCT 01-4 they are TCT NO. 498 issued in the name of DON ESTEBAN BENITEZ TALLANO on June 7, 1932 by Register of Deeds TEODORO GONZALEZ of the Province of Rizal and TCT NO. 408 issued in the name of DON GREGORIO MADRIGAL ACOP on June 7, 1932 by Register of Deeds of the Province of Rizal, TEODORO GONZALEZ.
Certification issued by LAND REGISTRATION COMMISSIONER ANTONIO NOBLEJAS of the Land Registration Commission on January 3, 1964 in reply to a request of Solicitor General Felix Makasiar certifying that OCT-01-4, TCT Nos. 408 and 498 are in their files and genuine Torrens Titles and all other titles issued after OCT 01-4 and not derived from it are fake and fraudulent.
Certification of Acting Register of Deeds VICTORIANO S. TORRENS of the Province of Rizal dated December 10, 1980 in response to a subpoena duces tecum issued by request of Solicitor General FELIX MAKASIAR in relation to LRC/Civil Case No. 3957-P, before Branch 28 of the Court of First of Pasay City (now RTC Branch 111) stating that OCT 01-4 and TCT Nos. 408 and 498 are in their files, genuine and issued in accordance with law and with probative value.
TAX DECLARATIONS AND TAX PAYMENTS: The Tallano heirs declared the properties indicated in their titles and paid taxes for them, namely: 1) Tax Declaration No. 00111212-69 for OCT 01-4 in the names of Prince (Lacan) Tagean (Tallano) Ul Rijal Bolkiah with Don Esteban Benitez Tallano as Administrator, 2) TD No. 002-4450-69 in the name of Don Esteban Benitez Tallano with Benito Agustin Tallano as administrator for TCT No. 498; and 3) TD No. 003 (illegible) in the name of DON GREGORIO MADRIGAL ACOP. All real estate taxes were paid from 1948 up to 1969 when there was a request for a moratorium due to the pendency of the case.
COURT DECISION AND ACTIONS: There are two cases to talk about – the escheat proceedings, meaning for the government to take back the lands under OCT NO. 01-4 because of the absence of heirs and LRC/Civil Case No. 3957-P. The Government represented by the Solicitor General and the Tallano heirs entered into a compromise agreement. Not being contrary to law, the same was embodied in a decision of Judge Enrique Agana of Branch 28 of the Court of First Instance of Pasay City dated February 4, 1972. The same became final and executory. It was partially executed as shown by a number of sheriffs’ returns.
After a series of motions, Judge Agana rendered a clarificatory decision dated January 19, 1976. The same also became final and executory. On representation of the Solicitor General and some private parties affected by the decision, in 1991 a moratorium of the enforcement of the un-enforced portion of the decision was entered into by the parties to operate within a period of 15 years ending in January 2006.
In the meanwhile, the Pasay City Hall was burned including the records of this case. The Tallano filed for reconstitution. The Solicitor General and the other private parties were represented in the reconstitution case. The Regional Trial Court of Pasay City, Branch 111, decided in favor of the Tallano heirs. The decision also became final and executory because nobody appealed including the government.
Long after the decision became final and executory, the Government, surprisingly represented by the Office of the Solicitor General wants the partially executed decision declared null and void in a case filed before the Court of Appeals under CA-GR. No. 70014. This case is already submitted for final resolution before the said Court.
Considering the foregoing, it must be noted that in the said title, there is an important annotation of encumbrance found therein giving rise to the claim of the undersigned to the part of Maharlika which is reverted back to the undersigned’s forefathers, whom by blood lineage, rightfully belongs to them.
ISSUE:
Being the progeny of the three Sultans of Sulu and Mindanao, does the undersigned have a valid claim?
DISCUSSION:
The undersigned’s claim is valid.
The undersigned is the direct descendant of the rightful owner of Maharlika Mindanao/Sulu Negaras tracing his lineage to the Muslim Royal Families descending to Sultan Moh. Fad’lun (Faud Abdulla) known as the 1839-1861 Sulu Sultan Pulalun, who was the son of the 1825 Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram-I (Muwalil Wasit) and cousin Maharaja Adinda Taup (father of 1915 Sharif Sultan Imam Ul-Alam Arpa who replaced Sultan Kiram-II), them being the progenies of the three datu Sultans of 1752 Maharlika/Mindanao Sulu.
TRACING THE UNDERINED’S LINEAGE
Sultan Pulalun was childless. Thus, the heir apparent to the Sulu Sultanate was handed down to his cousin, Prince and heir apparent, Maharaja Adinda Taup, who is the father of Sharif Imam Ul-Alam Arpa, the grandfather of the undersigned.
Maharaja Adinda Taup was the son of Brunei’s Nakhoda (Laksamana or Admiral) Sayyid Perkasa Angging who is the grandson of the second Brunei Sultan Ahmad. Sultan Ahmad has a nephew, Seri Ali, who later became the third sultan of Brunei. Although sultan Ahmad has a son, Prince Amir Alatas, the latter did not succeed after his father because they married in Mindanao and Sulu (they were supposedly going to Mecca for pilgrimage but was not able to reach Mecca, instead they settled in Mindanao and Sulu).
Prince Amir Alatas had a son, Brunei’s Nakhoda (Laksamana or Admiral) Sayyid Perkasa Angging. He was the very defender of North Borneo-Sabah, together with his brother, Nakhoda Sangkalang, against the usurper, Sultan Mobin. As recorded in Malaysian and Brunei annuals, because of their feat, North Borneo-Sabah was given to the Sulu Sultanate as a Tribute.
Nakhoda Sayyid Perkasa Angging then became the Maharaja in Sulu and his brother, Nakhoda Sangkalang, is the Maharaja in North Borneo. As Maharaja for Sulu, he maintains his seat of power at Subah Buaya, Siasi Sulu with his official flag bearing the emblem of a twin-headed crocodile symbolizing his twin authority from Brunei. He was known as Maharaja Anddin of Sulu.
Maharaja Anddin begot a son, Adinda Taup, cousin of Sultan Pulalun-Moh. Fad’lun. Adinda Taup then begotted a son, Sharif Imam Ul-Alam Arpa, the grandfather of the undersigned.
In 1915, Jamalul Kiram II signed the 1915 Carpenter Memorandum, surrendering his temporal powers to the American Government in exchange for a lifetime pension and amenities. However, what Jamalul Kiram II ceded was only his temporal power, the high spiritual power over the subjects was retained with the undersigned’s grandfather who became the High spiritual Leader of the Sulu Archipelago.
In 1967, the undersigned’s father, Sharif Carpenter Arpa I, established the Sultanate of Zamboanga (representing Mindanao) and Basilan (representing Sulu) and spearheaded the Royal Houses of Mindanao and Sulu in signing a manifesto for unity ratified by then Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile, now a senator.
Having now established his lineage from the Royal family of Maharlika Sulu and being then the direct descendants of the three sultans of Mindanao and Sulu whose ownership over the same was explicitly recognized and recorded in historical documents pertaining to therein, the undersigned has valid claims of ownership over the same and must be duly recognized as such.
To turn a blind eye to this fact is to forget our history. If our history then is forgotten, when our roots are buried in the rough sands of the sea, we cannot have a sense of national consciousness. And when we do not have a sense of national consciousness, we cannot have any identity and emerge as a truly proud nation. It is only when we recognize our past that we can create our future.
