434 years ago the Lakans and Datus of Luzon were exposed for leading an epic pan-asian conspiracy (from Manila to Japan and the Sultante of Brunei) to overthrow the Spaniards and liberate the Philippines. This resulted in the gruesome execution of prominent Luzones Dátûs, including the kindhearted and benevolent Magat Salámat (son and heir of the great Lakandúlâ of Tondo). They were hanged, beheaded, and quartered, with their severed heads placed in cages for all the world to see!

434 years ago the Lakans and Datus of Luzon were exposed for leading an epic pan-asian conspiracy (from Manila to Japan and the Sultante of Brunei) to overthrow the Spaniards and liberate the Philippines. This resulted in the gruesome execution of prominent Luzones Dátûs, including the kindhearted and benevolent Magat Salámat (son and heir of the great Lakandúlâ of Tondo). They were hanged, beheaded, and quartered, with their severed heads placed in cages for all the world to see! "Tondo, Slavery, & the Revolt of the Lakans" vividly recounts the mind-blowing but often untold history of the "Tondo Conspiracy" a.k.a. the "Revolt of the Lakans" that almost liberated the Philippines over 300 years before the Katipunan Revolution of 1896. Learn more about the Laguna Copperplate, the oldest surviving document found in the Philippines that pushes back the official history of islands 621 years before the so-called "discovery" of the archipelago by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Explore the precolonial society of the Ancient Luzones, the ancestors of today's Kapampangan and Tagalog-speaking people. Find out why this epic conspiracy ended up an "epic fail!" This is the inaugural issue of "Know Our Roots," a series of books and zines with notes, doodles, and reflections about history, culture, and everything in between! The "Know Our Roots" book/zine series and the "Color Our Roots" coloring book series aims to help many in their path to decolonize and reconnect with our deeper roots.
Autorenporträt
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a Filipino American historian, content creator, and renowned culture bearer based in California. He is also the author of the groundbreaking book "Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide," and the Co-Founder and former Director of Operations for the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at the University of California, Davis. As of 2022, Kirby serves in the City of Sacramento as Council Representative for District 8 and Communications Director for the Office of Councilmember Mai Vang. Kirby is a direct descendant of the last indigenous Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros, and of World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the islands we now call the Philippines. Born in Angeles City, Philippines, Kirby spent his childhood amidst the rebuilding of his homeland in the aftermath of Mt. Pinatubo's cataclysmic eruption. His childhood beneath the shadows of the city's red-light district, slum neighborhoods, and Clark Air Base (a former U.S. military installation) sparked his lifelong passion in advocating for the rights and the well-being of marginalized and disenfranchised communities. As a direct descendant of revolutionaries, politicos, and activists, Kirby's upbringing was molded by productively engaging and navigating the realms of advocacy, traditional politics, and grassroots activism. With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, public affairs, and filmmaking) and a strong commitment to serving the community, Kirby studied at some of the world's most prestigious institutions, such as Harvard University, the University of California, Davis, and the Université catholique de Louvain (one of Europe's oldest universities). He has been teaching Filipino people's history through writing in indigenous Philippine scripts (Kulitan & Baybayin) for over a decade. Today, Kirby is well-known for his educationally engaging YouTube channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between! He is also currently working on his next big book "Luzones & the New World: Forgotten Histories from Southeast Asia to the Americas" along with an easy-to-read book and zine series known as "Know Our Roots," and an educational coloring book series called "Color Our Roots."
