From this entry will be a series of expositions in an attempt to present contrasting evidences to refute the claim that the Philippines is owned by a single family, the Tagean-Tallanos. In the end we will find out the truth, and the truth shall set us free.
When I first heard of the information a feeling of doubt immediately coagulated in my mind suspecting the veracity of the claim. To my sound mind, this information, though seems plausible is totally incredible although we have no direct existing proof yet, such as well-founded historical documents to deflate such claim. So, I confidently consulted the internet to find out how this information had already spread clandestinely into worldwide web, and in like manner to find out how to attack the information from its weekest point.
Claims are often cited in corroboration to historical thesis that a paper or a document issued or obtained from daily ordinary operations of business is a valid source of historical facts. This argument seems to be true if it pertains to the existence of the paper itself in question, regardless it being issued or obtained, or the stipulated date and the purpose it was made for. But the legality and validity will be the subject of arguments if the said paper or document was made, issued or obtained under the guise of deceit and fraud. This method even nowadays is somehow becoming a shared practice as a means to take advantage at the expense of others. In the court’s gamut it is termed “falsification” of document which is simply illegal or against the founded principles of human laws. This renders the paper in question null and void and without legal standing if proven otherwise.
An example of great impact are those land ownerships over ancestral domains obtained by a second party without in anyway have the legal, ancestral or genealogical rights over the contested lands and acquired by way of other means such as falsification of documents, threat or intimidation. Citing many court cases are sufficient to prove their existence.
The Calamba Villagers vs. Yulo Family Case: The native people arrived between 1912 and 1916, and settled at Calamba village in Laguna. They tilled the land and mostly made a living from farming. The Yulo family arrived later in 1948. This family claimed ownership of about 22,249 hectares of land which they reportedly bought from Vicent Madirgal, a wealthy family. They displaced and evicted the native Filipinos from the land. The Yulo family, however, could not present official documentation to prove their ownership, but instead relied on their close relations with government officials who reconstituted the land title to self-justify their occupancy of the land. Native farmers were left landless and confronted with difficult living conditions, including being constantly threatened whenever they tried to organize and protect their properties.
Agana Decision with Compromise Agreement of 1972: The following below is an excerpt from the said court decision penned by the late Honorable CFI Judge Enrique A. Agana, Branch 28, CFI, Pasay City dated February 4, 1972:

“This Court has observed the blueprint pattern of clandestine
land grabbing by the allege-claiming to be land owners which were derived from
the National Government thru its instrumental agencies, the Bureau of Lands and
Forestry, the Land Registration Commission in conspiracy of the officials of
Building Permit Bureau of the Department of Public Work and Highway and by the
local government officials and with participation of some Register of Deeds in
the City and Provinces where the lands are situated. These are where the sacred
role of the government must have to be exercised for the protection of the
constitutional rights of its citizenry. Yet, very clearly, that land grabbing
scheme massively laundered icing by socialized housing programs, urban and
agricultural land reform of the government in connivance with the developers,
sometimes in the pretext of National Government infrastructure program is a
silent confiscation of real properties of the private…”
But worst of these is our so-called mainstream history propagated by those minds who are, in one way or another, have successfully doctored the historical facts and records portraying the true history of the Filipino nation, or the works of the conspiracy theorists in their grand efforts to twist some facts for yet unknown reasons. Our school textbooks are the clear tangible proofs. A good case is the claimed Ferdinand Magellan’s [re]discovery of the Philippine Archipelago in March 17, 1521. Magellan’s arrival and the naming of this group of islands into La Islas Filipinas marked the genesis of the European version of the Philippine History which became, in the statutory language, legal and binding. It was also the rallying point for the Filipinos in their search for national identity with distinction and pride. But the Philippines as an archipelago with its geographically, commercially and politically civilized balangay-states called “rajahnates” or “kingdoms” was already flourishing and had been here even hundreds of years before Magellan set foot on to its shores.
Great President Rodrigo Roa Duterte repeatedly school maharlika nation(Philippines) about this fabricated history.
