Pacita de Ocampo Reyes

Tia Pacing is the ledest of the five children.  After their Dad died she went to live with her Dad's oldest sister in Negros Oriental and went to school there.  She married a lieutenant in the Army who later died in the Death March in Bataan.  They had only one child, Flordeliza.  She remarried and moved to Manila after the war.  She had three more children and I remember they had a couple of jeepneys that they have as a transportation business.  I remember her husband, Tio Amado would make us a "parol" every year in different shapes.  We had a parol shaped as a parrot, another year as a battleship complete with turrets and cannons, one year shaped like our house. Our house would look so festive with lights around our rooftop and a huge "parol" at the front door.
