Lakan of Tondo
Lakandula (Baybayin: ᜎᜃᜈ᜔ᜇᜓᜎ, Spanish orthography: Lacandola) was the title of the last lakan or paramount ruler of pre-colonialTondo when the Spaniards first conquered the lands of the Pasig River delta in the Philippines in the 1570s.[2]
The firsthand account of Spanish Royal Notary Hernando Riquel[1]: 13 says that he introduced himself to the Spanish as "Sibunao Lacandola". While his given name has since been interpreted as being "Bunao",[3] the historic meaning of the word Lakan, was a title equivalent to prince or paramount ruler, meaning he was the principal Datu or Prince of his domain.
Along with Rajah Matanda and Rajah Sulayman, Bunao Lakandula (or Lakan of Tondo), was one of three rulers who played significant roles in the Spanish conquest of the Pasig River delta polities during the earliest days of the Philippines under Spanish colonial period.[3]

He was the commander of the Tagalog forces in the battle of Manila of 1570 against Spanish forces.
His palace was within the walled and fortified city of Manila.[2][3][4] Sulayman – along with his uncle King Ache and Lakandula, who ruled the adjacent bayan of Tondo – was one of the three rulers who dealt with the Spanish in the battle of Manila of 1570. The Spanish described him as the most aggressive one due to his youth relative to the other two rulers.[3][4] Sulayman's adoptive son, baptized Agustin de Legaspi upon konvertering to Christianity, was proclaimed the sovereign ruler of Tondo
