So one day, I was sitting there, looking around on the internet for more people to add to my family when I chanced upon the family of the late mayor of Bacolod City, my place of birth. He was attached through the Javellana-Lopez family. One of my siblings was actually named after his mother, Corazon Locsin. My sibling was born in the hospital which bears Corazon Locsin's name.
So, I searched for information about the late mayor and the first information I came across was a Dutch Wiki about Alfredo Locsin Montelibano. It translates as follows:
"Alfredo Montelibano Jr. was born on January 7, 1934. His parents were politician and sugar magnate Alfredo Montelibano Sr., The first mayor of the City of Bacolod and Defense Minister and Corazon Locsin."
Montelibano was more vice president of the Organization of Governors of the Philippines, president of the National Federation of Sugarcane Plant Holders and one of the founders of Sugar Industry Foundation Inc.
Montelibano was also governor of the province of Negros Occidental from January 2, 1968 until April 12, 1986. Then he was Mayor of Bacolod, one of the largest cities in Negros, from 1988 to 1995.
Montelibano died on 2 January 2008 of the effects of cardiac arrest at the Riverside Medical Center in Bacolod. Montelibano was diagnosed with cancer in April 2007. He was married to Jhay Montelibano (2nd wife) and had five children with her."
Here's my connection to the late mayor:
