The Onjon ni Ivadoy, cont,

|The president of the Onjon on it 3^rd year was Dr. Antero Ampaguey. 

I have not been able however to talk to him to know who he is, where he or his clan came from.

I just know that a certain Ampaguey told my grandfather Tagdi told my mother that a certain old man named Ampaguey was his relative.

Next time, I will write more about him.

The next president of the Onjon was and is Jackson Chiday of Loakan.  He was the fourth, and is the fifth president of the Association.

He is a greatgrandson of Mil-an, a.k.a known as Agmaliw, son of Batil who was one of the three men who made the swamp between the two mountains of Loakan as a ricefield, draining the swamp of the water that filled it from the mountainsides.

Mil-an used to work on the land where his forebears Saguid and Sa’bot used to live, at the place  called Bubon in Loakan.   Their farm included the area whereon the Loakan Elementary School, and later, the Mil-an High School have been built.  It also included the area where the San Lorenzon Ruiz Chapel has been constructed in the early fifties.

Saguid and Sa’bot were the parents of Dangeg, Batil’s wife.  Batil and Da’ngeg were the parents of Chacchacan, Mil-an, Bonga, Camid, and Dingan (not in that order). 

He was also a grandson of Chacchacan, brother of Mil-an who used to farm and raise cattle on the north-west end of Loakan where now exists the Loakan Community Cemetery, the north approach of the Loakan Airport, and the private residences of members of the chacchacan Clan and of those who bought lands from members of the family.

Another grandfather of Jackson was the late Mariano Pingi who was a son of Garoy who was a son of Molly, sister of Mariano of Shalshal.  Mariano and Molly were children of Batil by his first wife Bitnay of Bekakeng.

He is also a grandson of Chiday, son of Kivas and Comiw who hailed from Tublay and who, when they died, were buried on the spot where the City Hall building has been built.

Kivas and Comiw used to work for Mateo Carino.            

Urbano, son of Chiday by his wife of a second marriage (after his wife Topdja died), once said his father Chiday and Sioco, Mateo Carino’s son,  would embrance each other like brothers whenever they met.  To be contued.  btpistola
