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.
