 The Clan

 In July of 1997, we had a grand reunion in Los Angeles, California. This is the first time in a number of years where most of my brothers and sister had the occasion to be together. We are the children of the late Jesus and Teofila Estrellado of Luisiana, Laguna. Of the eight children,  seven boys and a girl, only myself reside in the Philippines. The rest are either American or Australian citizens living abroad while Edgard is now resting in peace.

Cezar, a Chemical Engineer, married to Monette Froilan a professional nurse, are residing in  Los Angeles and their married children, Cherry and Peachy live in Sydney. The third is Maynard, an Electrical Engineer who is married to Mila Asinas, reside in Union City, California while their children Myla, Michelle and Maydran live with their respective families. Fourth is Jesus, Jr.,  a Business graduate involved in computer operation,  married to Sonia Raneses. They live in  Benicia, California while children Joel and Jenny are with their respective families. Edgard who passed away in 2003 is fifth, married to Ligaya, with their three children, Eddie Boy, Sonny Boy and Lady. Ligaya reside in Luisiana, Eddie Boy an electrical engineer works in Japan, Sonny Boy in Carmona, Laguna while Lady studies nursing in Manila..

        My sixth brother  Raul, another Business graduate who is in computer operation, is married to Linda Mesina a professional nurse. They live in Emerson, New Jersey with sons Steve and Christian. The seventh is Alex, a Computer Engineer married to Elaine Robel. Together with sons DA and AJ, they  live in Sydney, Australia. The youngest and considered as our most beautiful sister is Josie. She is a legal secretary in New York City, while husband Emil Caliboso an MBA graduate is into finance while daughter Jem-Jem has started to work after graduating from university.

The latest opportunity for the family to meet was on July 17, 1999 at Union City in California at the wedding of  Myla, the eldest daughter of Maynard and Mila.  We came in full force: Alex and Elaine, Josie and Jem, Raul and Linda, Boy and Sonia,  Linda, Ricky, Roxanne and myself.  It was another grand reunion where Cezar and Edgard were the only siblings not in attendance. We had lots of fun: jokes, food, singing, dancing and golf. Boy and Sonia hosted us in their lovely home in Benicia.
