Digging My Very Roots

I am Katrina Anne Marc Riman and perhaps, you know that. I have an older sister named Ma. Ann Dominique Riman and younger brothers named Stig Marcson Lance, Marcus Andjerome and Markuz Venedict Riman. We are now in Cavite where Mother has given us birth. My parents are Marcos Riman and Liwanag Cabrera. My father is from Cavite and works as a determined businessman. My mother was born in Makati and is a hardworking housewife. They met in Manila who knew each other as boardmates.

My father's father, Gregorio Riman was the child of Romeo Riman and Macaria Ognes who are housewife and a farmer and all lived in Cavite. My father's mother, Matilde Maloloy-on is from Cebu. Her father, Tiborsyo Maloloy-on was a farmer from Masbate. Tiborsyo's father, Gil Maloyloy-on was a fisherman from the same place. Matilde's mother. Ropina Rosales is the daughter of Banong Rosales, a farmer and Ularia Legaspi, a housewife who all are from Cebu. Gregorio was a farmer and a blacksmith who went to Manila and met Matilde who works as a vendor.

Meanwhile, my mother is the child of Ponciano Cabrera, an OFW originated on Bulacan and Gloria Santos, from Pampanga. Ponciano was the child of Agustin Cabrera, a carpenter and Inang Cabanding who are all from Bulacan. My mother's mother, Gloria, was the child of Tomas Santos, a Filipino Spanish who is a US veteran soldier who originated from Nueva Ecija and Consuelo Cuyugan from Pampanga. Consuelo was the daugther of Gorge Cuyugan and Ropina Santiago who are both from Pampanga.

Each of who are still alive goes to different places and a blood has been carried from our roots. Come to think of it. Each family like I do has come a long way and a long way will it still go.
