Old Photographs Tony Cuenco of Cebu, Philippines

June 28, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Cuen­co Famiy: I am shar­ing what I believe are ear­ly pic­tures of my cousin TONY CUENCO who recent­ly passed away. The pic­ture of three, shows my grand­moth­er Filom­e­na Alesna Cuen­co with Tony (the old­er boy) and anoth­er grandson.

The group pic­ture fea­tures my grand­fa­ther and grand­moth­er, Sen­a­tor Mar­i­ano Cuen­co and his wife Filom­e­na with their fam­i­ly. Stand­ing l‑r: Car­men Cuen­co, Mila­gros Veloso Cuen­co car­ry­ing Baby Tony, behind them is pos­si­bly my moth­er Con­cep­cion Cuen­co Manguer­ra car­ry­ing Baby Vic­to­ria, Con­sue­lo Cuen­co, back is Manuel Cuen­co, Arch­bish­op Jose Ma. Cuen­co, Miguel Cuen­co, Lour­des Cuenco.

My old­est sis­ter Vic­to­ria was a bit old­er than Tony. They were the first grand­chil­dren of Mar­i­ano and Filom­e­na and report­ed­ly were “spoiled.” They are both gone now. Vic­to­ria passed away two years ago from heart com­pli­ca­tions, and recent­ly Tony suc­cumbed to Covid. May they rest in peace.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
