who slew the conqueror Magellan, sent by Portugal by way of Spain, to subjugate the Asiatics for spices, which were very expensive.
My ancestor took off his head because he doesn't believe in slavery, but because of Spain the Philippines since the 1500's became primarily the only Asian country to be Christian, by way of Catholicism.
I am as Dimataga the direct line to Datu Lapu Lapu by virtue of blood, and the closest link in blood is after Dimataga, Igot whom I am related to by blood and marriage.

It is said orally that royalty by moderness is election. As in, if your family is in the Malacanang, then they rule the Philippines.
My family came in as most recently the wife of President Garcia, who was a pharmacist, and who is Dimataga, also.
My grandfather worked for the Malacanang as a lawyer, Lorenzo Dimataga II, Esq. He helped, was a civil servant, and was a good friend to President Magsaysay, President Garcia, President Marcos, President Macapagal, President Ramos, etc.
Also in consideration is that I may never, never have internet again!

As it is, it is good.
