Paternal Grandparents






  


Our paternal grandparents


Marcelino Sr. and Florencia Jaminal

Lolo Sinoy and Lola Enciang raised 9 children, top row (left to right) Zosimo (3rd), Alberto (6th), Lola Enciang, Lolo Sinoy, Danilo (5th), Marcelino (2nd). Seated : Esther (4th), Helen (8th), Benigno (9th), Noel (2nd grandchild), Imogene (1st grandchild), Nora (7th) and Flordeliza (eldest)



 

Lolo Sinoy was an adventurous businessman. He even ventured to Mindoro and set up a ranch wherein he was able to bring along his sons Jun, Zosing and Danny and convince a number of relatives to go there. Lolo Sinoy and his sons came back and forth to Cavite. However the relatives stayed and hence the Jaminals of Mindoro had set root.

 

Shortly after this picture was taken in 1965, Lola Sinoy died. Being the eldest son, our dad took over as the "padre de familia" head of the family, making sure that all his siblings went to college and everybody took care of each other. Even up to his last days, he has always been known by his siblings as being a good son and brother. Eventually, our dad was able to obtain his college degree after his siblings were able to pursue theirs. He was 45 years old.

 

As I have said during my eulogy for my father, it has been the greatest honor to have been born your son. Ever since I was young, I have always been a witness to the respect and trust that has been afforded my father.
