1948
1950
at Vicente & Rosario's home on Aviles St. in Manila.
During the 40's and 50's it was customary to have the reunions at the homes of
the seven brothers and sisters. 
1950
The cost of each reunion was borne out by whoever
among the brothers and sisters hosted the event. Thus,
each had their turn every
seven years. (Maria passed away
in 1945 during the liberation of Manila.)
1950
During reunions, Lola Kanang presented all the grandchildren and the then few
great grandchildren with her "Pamasko" or Christmas present of freshly
minted 100% silver peso coins. If we had held on to ours, it would be worth a
lot more today.

1952 at Jose and Amparo's home on Kanlaon St.
in the then far suburb
of Quezon City.
1953 at Nicolas and Laura's home on
Buencamino St. in
Manila

1950's.
1950's
1950's
Sometime in the 1950's. But where are the small fry or "bangaw" as the older cousins used to call anyone
below fifteen.
Sometime
in the early 50's during a birthday dinner for Lola Kanang. Her favorite restaurant for this occasion was usually a "panciteria" in Manila. The name Panciteria Moderna somehow rings a bell.
1958
at the old Club Filipino. The first reunion after
Lola passed away in August of 1958.
Dec.
1959; some of the younger cousins (not so young
anymore in 2003) - Ray, Charito & new husband
Pepe Hilario, Mario, Tito.
1961
After
Lola passed away, there were no more silver coins passed around. Here, Tia
Piciang is passing out peso currency to the children.
1962?
1963 by Vicente & Rosario. By the 1960's the clan had become
too large and reunions were held at restaurants or hotels. One of the favorites
was Selecta on Dewey Blvd which was owned by a fellow Batangueno.
1965 hosted by Felisa and
Vicente (Ylagan)
1966 hosted by Amparo (widow of Jose Y.)
at the Katipunan Gardens.
