You confused Lola Toyang (Victoria) with Lola Cari (Caridad). The latter was the wife of dr. Palinar who was from Pangasinan and who later on saved Tiyoy Dandy out of the prison camp during WWII. Also, the name is Caridad Cabiles Paculan-Palinar. Originally, the Paculans were from San Fernando, La Union. Kaya "adjaybanger" din ang roots natin.
Yes, Tiyay Mely, was one of the children of the Palinars who was married to Tiyoy Nonoy Pastor, a top Engineer of the National Power Corporation. They lived in that area in San Francisco del Monte (I forgot the street). They have a big fiesta celebration every year and the Pastors used to invite the Project 8 family. That's where I met Lolo Palinar and the rest the aunties. Tiyay Mely was also a principal sponsor during the wedding of Toto Dante and Odette in 1977. That was around 1959 and I was in a college freshman in FEU. I also frequently go the Lucasan's house when I go with Tiyay Elpha. Tiyay Rosie, by the way, loved to hosts big parties. Tiyay was married to Tiyoy Moling Lucasan, a councilor in Quezon City during Mayor Amoranto's time. Also, the eldest of the Lucasan's children was Dolly, who I believed was Miss Luzon at one time.
BTW, Lola Cari met a violent death. One night, Lolo Palinar, being a doctor, was called on an emergency by one of the residents in Pangasinan. It was dark and pouring that night. Since, they were riding in a "calesa", it wasn't known why the horse went wild. Sige and silbe ng kabayo which ultimately threw Lola Cari out of the Calesa. I think she died instantly when she fell on the pavement. It was a gruesome death.
Anyway, I am still in the process of helping Uncle Ed Knott re the Paculan-Rodrigazo genealogy. However, i can only get so far. Hopefully, when I go home, I will be able to get further family history/info from Tiyay Elpha.
Isn't Tiyay Lydia beautiful in this picture? No wonder, na "love-struck" kaagad si Tiyoy Abun.
