The longest Holy Week Procession in the Philippines happened in Marikina?

This is an on - the - spot surprised coverage of the Procession on the Passion and Death of Jesus on April 7, 2023 at the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Our Lady of the Abandoned in Marikina City, Metro Manila, Philippines headed by Auxiliary Bishop of Antipolo Noli Buco . The coverage was done by Prof Sofronio Dulay out of his desire to know which church in the country has the longest and grandest holy week procession. He Is inviting viewers who experienced or participated in a longer procession and share the details of that procession by way of comments on this video.

The Descendancy Channel that made a coverage of this event is actually the official channel of the House of Dula, a member of the United Royal Houses of the Philippines. The United Royal Houses is the main proponent of the "Principalia Theory of Austronesian Intermigration". The theory explains that Philippine indigenous people, the "Katutubo" is the result of blood mixtures of the rhinoceros men, dawnman, luzonensis , callao men, dawn men and tabon men that existed way back the ancient Ophirian civilization of the country. Today, some of these indigenous Filipinos are being marginalized by big businessmen. A lot of them, sought the help of the Principalia Hereditary Council of the Philippines, a Tondo - based historical alliance of 8 pre - hispanic royal houses of the Philippines composed of the following: Grand Patriarch Sofronio Dulay, The House of Dula of the Lakanate of Tondo; Datuk Delmar Taclibon, The House of Magat Salamat of the Lakanate of Tondo; Matriarch Cecille Cayetano, The House of Capulong of the Lakanate of Tondo; Dayang Corazon Siya, The House of Sumakwel of the Madja-as Confederation; Rajah Julian Canonoy, The House of Lapu Lapu of the Rajahnate of Mactan; Apo Remedios Cabate - Cabral, House of Cabailo, of the Kingdom of Palawan, in El Nido in the town of Taytay; Rajah Junbert Guigayuma, The Royal House of Tupas Humabon of the Rajahnate of Cebu; Patriarch Andrew Miranda,The House of Gatchalian of the Lakanate of Tondo and the Patriarch of the House of Iberein of he Lakanate of Lawan, Father Mariel Sumallo.

The United Royal Houses had been involved with the following Advocacies and Projects:

1. Animal Shelter
2. Marikina News online media
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 research
6. Descendants of Lakan Dula activities (annual pilgrimage to Tondo, Dulay Clan, Bagong Bagani Awards, etc)
7. Sumpa ni Lakan Dula (management evaluation of past and present Philippine presidents)
8. Indigenous tribal groups in the Philippines
9. Dine with the Ancestors Ritual

Indeed, if we factor in the 700,000 year old rhinoceros man excavated in the Philippines by French archaeologists, the 250,000 dawn man of Otley Beyer and the 65,000 year old Callao man discovered by the UP archaeologists, plus the Australian DNA studies that say that Philippines is the homeland of the Polynesians, it can be concluded that the Philippines is perhaps the true homeland of Austronesian and the Filipinos have an ancient civilization. Some of our ancestors may have moved to cold countries like China and Russia because just like the Out of Africa Theory, early humans moved from hot to cold topography; while some some of our ancestors moved to Southeast Asia and the Pacific. DNA studies confirmed that our DNA is more diverse ..making us the possible cradle of the beginning of life which according to Darwin started in the tropics and in the ocean, Pacific ocean, and perhaps moved inwards into the Philippine shores. This is supported by an American study that says that the Philippine marine life is the global epicenter of marine diversity. Let the Taiwan scholars present better scientific evidence than the earlier stated evidence by the Philippines. If Taiwan can not present more convincing scientific evidence, then it may be concluded that perhaps the true homeland of Austronesian is the Philippines and not Taiwan. The descendants of Lakan Dula believe in this theory until Taiwan can present a more convincing archaeological, DNA and scientific evidence. This theory is also supported by the Principalia Hereditary Council of the Philippines. A civilization can be prosperous with the growth of the population its inhabitants, by birth or migration, and by the idealism of its people. Biological life from the ocean started to evolve in what Darwin described as a “pond of life”-- a complex interplay of ocean water, sea, bay, cove, big river, lagoon, luscious forest, stream, spring, beaches, islands, caves, mountain hills, plateau – all are found in the homeland of the Polynesians called in its ancient name as Lawan.
