What a great family reunion at the residence of the Philippine Ambassador in Washington DC—what some of my cousins referred to as the “ancestral home.” My lola’s brother was once the ambassador, and now my cousin (my lola’s nephew) is the ambassador.
Everyone here is a descendent of Miguel Froilán López Romuáldez and Brigida (Binday) Zialcita Romuáldez (or is a spouse of a descendent), who had seven children. Representatives from each of those seven families were present. A great get-together!
