Lucina was also of part Chinese descent based on one of her children’s baptismal records.
I just received an image of Erap’s uncle’s baptismal record. Here are the following corrections:
Erap’s paternal grandfather was Telesforo Ejército Santos y Guazon (or Telesforo Guazon Ejército Santos in Filipino, the son of Benedicto Ejército Santos and María Guazon). Telesforo was born in Caridad (now part of Cavite City), Cavite, and was of part Chinese descent. The surname Ejército was shortened from Ejército de los Santos, which means “Army of the Saints.”
Lucina was the daughter of Pablo Liza and Vicenta Abella.
He lost in his re-election bid to Isko Moreno. Therefore, his term will expire on June 30, 2019.
