A Family Reunion in Tanauan, Batangas

Yesterday we went to Tanauan City in Batangas to get-together with the rest of the De Guzman Clan. Our cousin Papon just came back to the Philippines after settling in Italy more than 6 years ago I think. Also Tita Amy is here with her husband. Basically, only half of the clan is present as the other half are mostly settled in the US.

After our arrival (Luna family), came the Munoz family and the arrival of Papon and his wife Doreleen and their daughter Tricia whom we just met for the 1st time.

For our cousins, it's also been quite a while since they last saw my brother Jeff who's been assigned to Qatar the last few months.

Tricia, who was born and raised in Italy, speaks Filipino and Italian. Unfortunately, she does not understand English. They talk in Tagalog at home and Italian in school. She's very charming and sociable. She even recited an Italian poem but we did not understand a word she said. Sabi namin pag lumaki pwedeng maging artista.

It's been awhile since we last had a get-together and so we took some pics of everyone. Too bad Isma's not around coz she's in Anilao for a diving trip and Eric and family is in Davao.

The next generation of kids from the clan... Jeff and inaanak... Tita Nine and apo Tricia while making an Italian speech
