Don-Don Mangonon

I heard that Tita Linda is trying to compile a Mangonon family tree. I'm actually trying to compile one for my mom's side of the family. I don't know much Mangonon genealogy, other than my Tito Patrick Mangonon (is/was a professor at FIT in Florida) and his two sons Patrick and Michael.

Lea Mangonon

I saw your name in my email. How are your parents? I'm the daughter of Dr. and Mrs Pablo sor Mangonon from Manaoag, Pangasinan. I'm excited to know about my relatives!!!! Regards.

Jerane Joy Mangonon

Maybe we're really relatives. My roots are in Manaoag, Pangasinan, Philippines. My grandfather is Fidel S. Mangonon. The former mayor, that was 1960 or I don't know.It's been a long time. My father is Juanito L. Mangonon. Do you know how to speak Pangasinensi or Ilokano, Tagalog? Where are you? I'm here in Singapore. Til then, give my regards to our family and relatives.
God bless...

Ilene Mangonon

I'm happy reading the Mangonon genealogy, my lolo is from Manoag too. My apong's name is Aunor Rezonda(Resonda) Mangonon. My father, Danilo Mangonon, was born in Manaoag. He was former Philippine navy. He told me he has a tito who was an admiral (if I remember it right) in the Philippine navy. He has relatives in Hawaii. If he were still alive today, I'm sure he would be very happy knowing that I am able to talk to other Mangonons. By the way, he died May this last year('09). I am sad I was unable to tell him this. One of his brothers lives in Urdaneta, Pangasinan and the rest are at Cauayan, Isabela. Most of his tito's are in Pangasinan. He also told me that he has a relative who is now in the US navy(I guess). If he was alive today, he would have told me more...

Fidel Manuel "Hubbel" R.Mangonon III

James Christopher N. Mangonon is a first cousin of mine. Known more by his nickname Jimbong. Don't know if that's still how he prefers to be called. Haven't been in touch with him for decades now. We stayed with their family for a while when we moved here in Manila from Davao City in 1976. His father, Juanito, or Tito Boy, is my father, Fidel Jr's, younger brother. I know Jimbong's parents are also already separated. My father is the eldest of 14 children, only 12 of whom are alive. So we're a pretty big clan. I think I have more than 60 first-cousins from the Mangonon side alone most of which are already married. I think I am the eldest among those who are still alive. I also know some of my uncles and aunts are in the US and Canada but haven't been that close to them since my father left us.

Jayson Mangonon

We're from Manaog too. My lolo is Federico Carbonel Mangonon. He retired from the Philippine army. And your father is the cousin of my grandfather. I met some of our relatives in Manaog about 4 months ago when I met Elizabeth Mangonon in the IBA hospital here in the Philippines. She was the Chief nurse of the hospital.

My 2 questions: (1) What is "lolo"(grandfather?) & (2) what is IBA short for?

Melchor Mangonon

I have a Facebook friend, Melchor Mangonon, whose father is Nimitz(that's right, named after the American Admiral) Mangonon, and he happens to be related to me somehow.

James Christopher N. Mangonon

James Christopher Nuto Mangonon, whose grandfather, Atty. Fidel Soriano Mangonon, was the former mayor of Manaoag, Pangasinan. James's dad, Eng. Juanito Mangonon was the 5th son of the mayor, and James is the first of five children. Melchor Mangonon is his 2nd cousin.

At this time James is referring to himself as James Christopher N. Mangonon on Facebook. Any changes will be noted here. Including the Title of this posting as needed.

So our genealogy has some twists and turns and if you have any connection or information(names and dates) to solidify any of that I would be extremely appreciative and of course I'd pass it along to the family and this blog.

What my sister, Linda, has uncovered

My mom was born in barrio Babasit, Manaoag, Pangasinan and my dad from Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. My dad was born Irenio Jaime Bernal Almoite and changed his name to Jaime Bernal in Boston, Massachusetts in 1946. Felicidad's(my mom's) dad was Paulino Mangonon who married Alejandra Ligaspe and Paulino's dad was Silvestine Mangonon who married his 2nd wife Tomasa Pascua in 1870. What's fascinating is that Tomasa's dad was Acedo Pascua who married Leonarda Mangonon!! There's that Mangonon again. But Alejandra's parents were Jacinto Ligaspe and Filomena Doriches(spelling?) and her dad Jacinto's parents were Salvador Ligaspe and Rafaela Pascua!! And there's that Pascua again.

Two questions of note: (1)Who was Silvestine's first wife? And (2)who were his parents?

My immediate family/dates/locations/etc.

I am Richard Mangonon Bernal(8/18/1954 10:53am, Mary Chiles Hospital, Manila) and my dad was Jaime Almoite Bernal(born Irenio Jaime Bernal Almoite, 6/12/1911-12/1/1998), my mom: Felicidad Mangonon Bernal(born Felicidad Mangonon Ligaspe, 7/24/1917-10/29/1988), my sister: Linda Bernal Weidkamp(born Erlinda Mangonon Bernal, 6/22/1946), my brothers: Benjamin Mangonon Bernal(now called Ben, 6/29/1956, Clark AFB, P.I.) and Ronnie Almoite Bernal(now called Ron, 7/20/1960, Fitzsimons Gen Hosp, Aurora, CO). Me, I was always called Richard, or as my mom used to say, "Ay sos Mariosyp"(I KNOW spelling is wrong! I probably should have asked my sister, Linda, how that should be spelled. She spoke, Tagalog, Ilocano & (what I am told is now) Pangalitoc(originally called Pangasinan).
