===Later descendants===
In 1990, Filipino historian Luciano P. R. Santiago wrote an article for the Philippine Quarterly of Culture and Society which details the identities and life stories of some of the descendants of Lakandula, mostly based on the "[[Lacandola Documents]]," a collection of legal documents held by the Philippine National Archives.<ref name="Santiago"/> Another Filipino historian, Luis Camara Dery, in his 2001 book "A History of the Inarticulate",<ref name="inarticulate"/> notes that a purported 1539 document called the "[[Will of Fernando Malang Balagtas]]," which, although its exact provenance has been determined to be doubtful,<ref name="scottparchment"/> corroborates the information from the Lacandola documents.<ref name="inarticulate"/> The Lacandola of Arayat came from one of the grandchildren of Lakandula of Tondo named Dola, who is from San Luis, Pampanga. When Dola married, she insisted to use the surname Lacandola for her children to maintain connection with his grandfather from Tondo and partly, to hide from Spanish authorities.She was married to a Spanish mestizo surnamed Reyes.Eventually, the Reyes - Lacandola was married into a Macapagal.{{citation needed|date=June 2019}}

Dery, Scott, and Santiago recount that the privileges accorded to the descendants of Lakandula had been discontinued for a while in the aftermath of Lakandula's death, because some of the descendants came into conflict with the Spanish authorities.  According to Dery,<ref name="inarticulate"/> the Balagtas document recounts that these privileges were restored when a Juan Macapagal, who claimed to be a great grandson of Lakandula (through Dionisio Capulong's son Juan Gonzalo Capulong),<ref name="inarticulate"/> aided the Spanish authorities in suppressing the [[Philippine revolts against Spain#Maniago/Pampanga Revolt (1660–1661)|1660 Maniago revolt]], the [[Philippine revolts against Spain#Malong Revolt (1660–1661)|1660-61 Malong revolt]], and the [[Philippine revolts against Spain#Almazan Revolt .28January 1661.29|1661 Almazan revolt]], performing his role as Master-of-Camp and Datu of Arayat.<ref name="inarticulate"/><ref name="Santiago"/>

In 1758, ''A Gremio de Lakandulas'' was created to safeguard the rights and privileges of the [[Kapampangan people|Kapampangan]] descendants of Lakandula as assured by the Spanish crown.<ref name="Santiago"/>  During the British invasion of 1762–64, the descendants of Lakandula, concentrated in the province of Pampanga, formed a company of volunteers to fight the British and were granted autonomy by Governor General Simon de Anda.<ref name="Santiago"/>

Macapagal (rare variant: Makapagal) is a Filipino surname derived from the Kapampangan language.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}} By Santiago's genealogical reckoning, prominent Lakandula descendants of the 20th century include the former Philippine Presidents [[Diosdado Macapagal]] and [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], former Philippine Senate President [[Jovito Salonga]], international stage celebrity [[Lea Salonga]], pioneer Filipino industrialist Gonzalo Puyat, and former Philippine Senate President [[Gil Puyat]].<ref name="Santiago" />
