In Filipino Martial Arts, lakan denotes an equivalent to the black belt rank. [8] Also, beauty contests in the Philippines have taken to referring to the winner as "lakambini", the female equivalent of lakan. In such cases, the contestant's assigned escort can be referred to as a lakan. More often, a male pageant winner is named a lakan. [9]

More often, a male pageant winner is named a Lakan. [29] The title can be spelled separately from a person's name (e.g. "Lakan Dula"), or can be incorporated into one word (e.g. "Lakandula"). 16th and 17th-century Spanish colonial accounts of lakan being used in Philippine history include:
Lakambini, the god of purity, food, and festivities, the advocate (Spanish dictionaries used the term "abogado") [3] of the throat, was invoked in case of throat ailments. Lakan Bakod was "the lord of fences (bakod)" and "was invoked to keep animals out of swiddens". [ 3 ]
The more complex social structure of the Tagalog people was less stable during the Spaniards' arrival because it was still differentiating. In this society, the term datu, lakan, or apo refers to the chief, but the noble class (to which the datu belonged or could come from) was the maginoo class.
Vic Sotto as Lakan Makisig, the ruler of the Kingdom of Kalayaan, [4] an alternative timeline monarchy in the Philippines. He is the second son of Lakan Diwa, father to Magat Bagwis, Dayang Matimyas, and Dayang Lualhati. He used to be a benevolent king, until his wife Lakambini Hiraya who changed after his spouse died in childbirth. [5]
In any case, many contemporary historians continue to ignore the fact that Lakan was a title, and refer to the last Lakan of Dula (or Lakan of Tondo) as "Lakandula" as if it had been his name. All things considered, the most accurate way to style the historical person's name and title would be "Lakan Bunao Dula" or "the Lakan of Tondo".
