Jacento Jugos Great Grandfather
According to the Social Security application filed by Grandpa Mathias his fathers name was Jacento. Jacento was probably a decendent of the first spaniards who settled in Himamaylan, Negros Occidental. The 'Jugos', name was transposed to 'Jugoz' when Grandpa immigrated to Hawaii. I've been in communication with other Jugoses in the Philippines, they also are from the province of Negros Occidental. So far no hard evidence of relations to Mathias. According to the application Grandpa filed Jacento Jugos was his father and Barellona Limsiaco was his mother. Source; Social Security Administration |
