I know there are hundreds (possibly thousands) of articles on this but this one comes from the Dept. of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences of the University of Illinois in Chicago.
I actually did long time ago but couldn't tell. But I am one of those fortunate ones whose eyes didn't really go that bad. In other words, late bloomer ang eyes ko...LOL!
Ako rin may pagka singkit...:-) Original last name namin was Uy. My great grandfather's name was Uy In Tia. My grandfather was baptized Aquino when he became Catholic. He took the last name of the priest, Fr. Lupo Aquino, who baptized him.
kami rin Uy..or in my case Uy Tico ang maiden name ni Mommy. "Uy" yang original and then they added something to make it Filipino daw (how in the world that can be when it sounds like 3 Chinese surnames strung together is sometimes what I ponder)...
Usually, Chinese names have only one syllable but because they put them together as one, it becomes 3 syllables like Co-Juang-Co, or Uy-en-co, etc. Only in the Philippines does that happens. Go ponder:-)
My original great grandfather was from Canton, China. What about your mom? How interesting huh.
Sa town of San Narciso, Quezon province, Cat. It is at the tip of Southern Luzon across the Bicol region by Ragay Gulf. Check your map. Malapit na rin sa Cebu yun. Baka nga mag kamaganak pa tayo..LOL! How cool would that be huh?

ReplyDeleteWhen you have the time, sige nga tingnan mo yung family tree ninyo. That would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteit would be good..however as of now, its only the Borromeo side which is active in documenting the family (my dad's mom was a Borromeo)
ReplyDeleteyung Herrera (Uy Herrera) and yung sa mom side...wlang written..puro verbal..like when my mom makes kwento...
I guess, it will just remain a mystery for now:-(
ReplyDeletedapat we ought to commission somebody to trace and document our family's history di ba?
ReplyDeleteang down side? e baka we have to pay him or her double to keep quiet about it when the truth is found out..LOL
Kailangan relative ang gagawa noon. May malasakit pagka sila.
