Sadly, this December, she was diagnosed with a very serious illness. My mom's best friend was the late Mang Nila Tayag. I myself was a high school classmate of Claude Tayag.

I'll pass a link to this page to her; maybe you two could link up.<BR/><BR/>@ Alex: I'll ask the old timers if they remember your mom. She might even have been a contemporary of my mom, (the late) Lolita Tayag, or my aunt Pining. Very few of them are still around, you know, I'm happy to hear your mother still is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4100524538146221107.post-56711215911873666772008-09-22T02:23:00.000-07:002008-09-22T02:23:00.000-07:00terrific blog. btw, doddie, capatad na cang robert...terrific blog. <BR/><BR/>btw, doddie, capatad na cang roberta? tabalu nung atatandanan mu cu pa. acu i jane po, matalic nang caluguran from grade school. paquicumusta mu cu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4100524538146221107.post-6325469054871813542008-09-15T00:47:00.000-07:002008-09-15T00:47:00.000-07:00Hi again, now here's an interesting tidbit. my mot...Hi again, now here's an interesting tidbit. my mother, a Del Rosario from Angeles City, actually enrolled at the dressmaking school of Roy's mother, Josefina.

I would, however, like to make a correction: Roberta Paras established her Binondo shop in 1902 (not 1912). In fact the house celebrated its centennial at the NBC Tent in 2002. The year 1912 was when her daughter, Josefina (Inang), was born.<BR/><BR/>Josefina's son, Roy, asked me to inform you of this error. We are glad, however, that you have chronicled these events. Thank you very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
