Old Family Photos — Concepcion Cuenco, Filomena Alesna Cuenco

Cebuano Kabilin in Insta­gram has been send­ing me old news clip­ping about my moth­er Con­cep­cion Cuen­co, and her Cuen­co Family.

The first three arti­cles are about Con­cep­cion Cuen­co win­ning the title of Miss Progress and Car­ni­val Queen of Cebu 1931. Thanks to Cebuano Kabilin for these pre­cious news clippings.

The sub­se­quent arti­cles are about the death and funer­al rit­u­als of my mater­nal grand­moth­er Filom­e­na Alesna Cuen­co who got sick and died in Mani­la in June 8, 1939. The last post “Bodas de Pla­ta” is about my grandun­cle Arch­bish­op Jose Ma. Cuen­co say­ing the Mass or Prayers for my grandmother.
