You should really check out what my book has already covered. There are many primary sources about Mabalacat that are waiting to be unearthed from the NHI. Another U.S.-based Mabalacaquena (Mrs. Inez David)publihsed her memoirs that touched a lot on Mabalacat's social history.Alex D.R.

She also told me that a painting of the house exists, I believe it hangs in their home. My paternal grandmother, Patricia Morales and Atty. Rafael Morales (Mang Sitang and Mang Noning's father) were the youngest in the family so they sort of watched out for each other, even building their houses next to each other.Alex D.R.
