The Visayas is composed of six major islands and scores of islets strewn across the area in between the two major islands of Luzon in the north and Mindanao down south. It is situated in the heart of the Philippines, with its islands forming channels and straits that funnel water flowing freely from the vast Pacific Ocean in the east towards the South China Sea.

Iloilo, the "Jewel of the South" is located on the southeastern side of Panay Island. Surrounded by Capiz on the north, Guimaras Strait on the south, Panay Gulf and Iloilo Strait on the east and Antique on the west. The province was originally known as Irong-Irong meaning "nose like", and then the Spanish shortened it

○○○○○○○○ and became Iloilo.

Iloilo's main economic industry is agriculture and is dubbed as the "Food Basket and Rice Granary of the 2 Philippines" for being one of the leading producers of rice and other crops like legumes and root crops and fruits like mangoes, pineapple and citrus. Fishing is also an important industry, with Panay Gulf and Iloilo Strait as major fishing grounds that produce grouper, sea bass, tuna, blue marlin, prawn, milkfish and shrimps.

The cottage industry is Iloilo’s second source of income. The town of Jaro is known for their loom weaving and hand embroidery of piña and jusi, fabrics used for making Filipino costumes such as barong tagalog, shirts, shawls, table cloth and place mats. Shell crafts, bamboo craft and mosquito nets are also some of the province’s products. Capiz shells that are created into chandeliers, wind chimes, fruit trays and other decors are made in the town of Molo.

The Ilonggos celebrate various festivities throughout the year. The famous Dinagyang Festival is Iloilo’s version of celebrating the feast of Sto. Niño, held every 4th wee- kend of January. The festivity is a colorful whirl of thousands of people dressed in unique costumes, dancing and merry-making all day and night. Another festivity called the Paraw Regatta features a race of sailboats along the Strait of Iloilo City and Guimaras Island, celebrated

every 3rd Sunday of February. Pasungay or the Bull Festival coincides with San Joaquin’s town fiesta, where bullfights are held on a hillside. It is celebrated every 2nd Saturday of January.

Some of Iloilo’s natural attractions include Sicogon Island, Isla de Gigantes, where the 15th century burial caves can be found, Onisan Isle, Nagpana Falls and Nasadjan Falls. Bucari in Leon features waterfalls, springs and streams. Several springs like Moroboro and Daliran and the Tiniguiban Pulang Pasayan Beach are good for swimming and relaxation.

Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines and Cebu Pacific provide direct flights daily from Manila to Iloilo.

BRIEF HISTORY Zarraga was once a nameless jungle or a no man’s land with an abundance of big trees, talahib, cogon and wild grasses so tall and thick, it was a place good only for hunters. Luckily, the pioneers who first discovered Zarraga, headed by Marcelino Poblador, Fulgencio Pinuela, Eugenio Pedro Zarraga and Marcelino Pinuela formed the town in 1853. The town of Zarraga was named after Pedro Zarraga, then Alcalde Mayor of Irong-Irong (now Iloilo City). He served for eight years until his death in August 26, 1882. When the Americans finally allowed the Filipinos to establish their own civil government, Fruto Gregorios and Petre Gustilo ran for the position of Presidente Municipal but came out in deadlock. Instead, the elected Vice President, Calixto Gustilo, became 3 the Presidente Municipal of Zarraga.

Like many other municipalities established during Spanish era, Zarraga had undergone the days of trial and humiliation. In the early part of 1904, it became the arrabal of the municipality of Sta. Barbara, much to the chagrin of its people. It remained as such up to the year 1940. When by virtue of Executive Order No. 295, by them President Ma- nuel L. Quezon, it again became a municipality. Emelio Gregorius became its first municipal mayor. Mayor Porferio Pinuela was the first elected mayor, followed by Jovito Arimas. Following the death of Arimas, his vice-mayor, Emiliano Lacson succeeded him as municipal mayor.

During the next election, Mayor Silveo Jr. was elected mayor and remained as such until the EDSA revolution in 1986 when he had to relinquish his post following the orders of the Aquino administration. Mayor Orlando replaced him. In the 1995 elections, Mayor Silveo was elected mayor and remains as such to the present.

Zarraga is located approximately 16 km. away from the heart of Iloilo City going North Bound. It is converging point of two national highways, which are the main roads of Central Panay, including the provinces of Aklan and Capiz and the northern towns of Iloilo Provinces.

Local WWII Veteran Honored in Philippines

Most Americans know something about World War II - Pearl Harbor, Omaha Beach, Nazi concentration camps, the Bataan Death March - but the most compelling parts of these events and battles of WWII are the individual soldiers’ experiences.

On November 16, 1944, a group of Filipino guerilla resistance soldiers, under the leadership of Col. Pedro A. Serran, liberated Zarraga, Iloilo from its Japanese invaders. The townspeople of Zarraga recently honored Serran, now an 84-year-old resident of Pittsburg, in June with the Col. Pedro A. Serran Park, a life-size statue and memorial marker. Serran’s son Tony, an English instructor at Ohlone College, gave his speech at the park’s dedication.

Serran’s remarkable story begins when Bataan and Corregidor fell in April, 1942. The Commanding Officer of the 61st Division, Gen. Albert Christie, ordered his American and Filipino troops stationed on PanayIsland, located south of the Philippines, to surrender to the Japanese Imperial Army in May. Not all Americans and Filipinos surrendered, however. The Filipinos vowed to defend their country. With Christie’s tacit support, they formed the Free Panay Forces, a guerrilla resistance unit. Serran was one of those officers. Born and raised in the Philippines, he attended the University of the Philippines where he was a ROTC officer and like many Filipino men, was conscripted into ○○○○○○○○ the U.S. Army at the outbreak of WWII.

With Serran now second in command, the group of Filipino and American soldiers organized on Mt. Baloy under the leadership of Col. Macario Peralta, Jr. After four months of planning, the men 4 set forth from the mountain and completed their first mission, which was to eliminate banditry and restore peace and order. This mission succeeded in gaining the civilians’ trust as well.

In October of 1942, one of the group’s numerous SOS signals sent from salvaged radio equipment was finally picked up by KFS of San Francisco and the men received orders from Gen. Douglas MacArthur for their next task: «Do not confront the enemy. Begin intelligence missions against the Japanese.» The soldiers dispersed to the provinces of Visayas, Luzon, and Mindanao to coordinate the intelligence operations. The men gathered such valuable information that in April of 1943, MacArthur sent a message of commendation which read: «Your intelligence service is excellent and highly appreciated.» U.S. submarines carrying medicine, radio equipment and weapons, and eventually, counterfeit Japanese currency, followed the general’s message. With increased support, the Filipino guerrilla soldiers continued to send intelligence reports to MacArthur in Australia.

After MacArthur returned to the Philippines, as he had famously promised, on October 20, 1944, Peralta ordered Serran to liberate Zarraga, the last Japanese forward intelligence outpost and supply collecting unit.

Serran set November 16, 1944 as the D-Day. Serran’s men deployed around the enemy garrison’s perimeter in Zarraga and cut off its supply of food, water and communications. They also immobilized the enemy’s land transportation and began a barrage of molotov cocktails and grenades. For several days the noise and bombardments whittled away the Japanese soldiers’ morale. On Nov. 16, 1944, Serran ordered G Company to assault the garrison. Pouring heavy gunfire into the garrison, the guerrilla fighters of the 62nd Regimental Combat Team scaled the walls and annihilated the enemy. Zarraga was free. For the victory, Peralta dubbed the 62nd R.C.T. the «Iron Regiment.» After the war, Serran stayed in his home country. He joined his children in the United States in the late 1980s.

Dear Javier: Ida Zarraga is my daughter, a Doctor of Medicine, 29 yrs. old and is now at St. Rephael’s Hospital in New Haven Conn, U.S.A. since June and therefore could not have read your e-mail of Aug. 12. His younger brother, Ignatius Gerardo, 26 yrs old, also a Doctor of Medicine left for the tates a few weeks after Ida and usually checks our email letters while he was around. He is now at Baylor Hospital in Houston taking his residency training. I am their father now 77 yrs old and I attend tothe emails.

I am married to Irene Eleazar, an English and Speech professor but she was very seriously ill after her second childbirth and her speech and coordination center has somewhat been affected. But thanks to God, she could move and speak now altho not as well as before.The second child is Imelda Margarita (Lia) and is now in Germany, married to a German electrical engineer, Peter Schinitzer. She took graduate courses in Spanish in Spain as a scholar.The third child is Isidro (Dan) and works at 3M in Minnesota. 7

He has a doctorate in Engineering. My other son, the eldest, is Irwin an Industrial Engineer, who graduated from the University of the Philipines, as dis my other two sons mentioned above. I have been a Congressman of the Philippines for three terms (1987 - 1998 after the Edsa I revolution when Pres. Cory Aquino assumed power.) My father was Jose Carino Zarraga, a native of Binan, Laguna, Phil. He was a Doctor of Medicine.He told us once that the Zarraga is of the Basque origin.

He looked somewhat Spanish but his children look Filipinos except my sister, Maria Salvacion who looked soemwhat like Spanish. In my travels in the Phil. I met several Zarragas related to my father and it is a pleasure to know them.I have also been trying to get in touch with the other Zarragas in my country.

I have a nehew in the States who is trying to make a family tree of the Zarragas here. I am well pleased to receive your letter and wish to thank you for your enterprising work of looking for the «lost» Zarragas. We are from a country very far from Spain. Keep on the good but trying and quite ambitious job of getting in touch with the Zarragas in far away countries and I wish you good luck in your worthwhsile endeavor. Incidentally, I also receive a letter similar to yours from Mercedes Mendi. Is she related to you/us? My warm regrds to you and Mercedes.

Querido Javier:

Ida Zarraga es mi hija. Doctora en Medicina. Tiene 29 años y está, desde Junio, en el Hospital St. Raphael en New Haven Conn, USA. Por eso no ha podido leer tu email del 12 de Agosto. Su hermano más pequeño, Ignatius Gerardo, de 26 años, es también Doctor en Medicina y salió para Estados Unidos unas semanas después que Ida. Ahora está en el Baylor Hospital haciendo la residencia (como médico residente).

Yo soy su padre, de 77 años, y atiendo los emails. Estoy casado con Irene Eleazar, profesora de Inglés y Lengua, pero quedó muy enferma tras el segundo parto y su lenguaje y coordinación se vieron afectados. Gracias a Dios, ella ya puede moverse y hablar aunque no tan bien como antes.

El segundo hijo es Imelda Margarita (Lia) y está ahora en Alemania, casada con un ingeniero en electrici- dad alemán, Peter Schinitzer. Ella estudio unos cursos de español en España. ○○○○○○○○ El tercer hijo es Isidro (Dan) y trabaja en 3M en Minnesota. Está doctorado en ingeniería. Mi otro hijo, el mayor, es Irwin. Ingeniero industrial y se graduó en la universidad de Filipinas, como mis otros dos hijos, arriba mencionados.

8 Yo he sido Congresista durante tres periodos (1987-1998 después de la I revolución Edsa, cuando Pres. Cory Aquino asumió el poder).

Mi padre fue Jose Carino Zarraga, natural de Binan, Laguna, Filipinas. Fue Doctor en Medicina. Una vez nos dijo que el Zarraga es de origen vasco. Su apariencia era de español pero sus hijos tienen la apariencia de filipinos, excepto mi hermana Maria Salvacion, que también parece española.

En mis viajes por Filipinas he encontrado bastantes Zarragas relacionados con mi padre y es un placer conocerlos. He tratado también de contactar con otros Zarragas en mi país. Tengo un sobrino en Estados Unidos que está tratando de hacer el árbol familiar de los Zarragas. Es un placer recibir tu carta y quiero agradecerte el esfuerzo de buscar a los Zarragas «perdidos». Nosotros somos de un país muy lejos de España. No renuncies a ese buen objetivo y bastante ambicioso trabajo de ponerte en contacto con los Zarragas de los lejanos países. Y te deseo mucha suerte en ese valioso esfuerzo. Incidentalmente, también he recibido una carta similar a la tuya de Mercerdes Mendi. Está relacionada contigo/con nosotros?

Mis mejores deseos para tí y Mercedes.

Sinceramente,

Dear Amaya, GREETINGS!

My name is NORBERTO ZARRAGA, brother in-law of Tatjana Zarraga, husband of Jose.I write in connection with the on-going research being done by your brother JAVIER regarding the ZARRAGA’s.

According to my grandfather, the ZARRAGA’S throughout the Philippines originated from the small but peaceful and progressive town named BINAN, which is part of Laguna province. This town is approximately 40 kms. South of Manila. My grandfather, ARCADIO ZARRAGA was born and raised 11 in said town. In the last quarter of 1900, my grandfather and family transferred to a nearby town TANAUAN that is already part of Batangas province. Here, my father NARCISO ZARRAGA was born and educated. Since my father’s profession was a teacher, he was assigned at CALATAGAN, a beautiful town full of beaches. This town is also part of Batangas province. We are the only ZARRAGA’S in this town. Following are the offsprings of NARCISO ZARRAGA:

1. MARCELO—— BSE 2. JOSE —— PhD 3. ARCADIO—— BSE, MA. CANDIDATE FOR PhD. 4. SOFIA —— BSEE 5. EDITHA —— BSE 6. CENA —— BSEE 7. NORBERTO— BSBA (Major in Accounting and Finance) 8. MANUEL—— BSC 9. TERESITA— BSC 10. ROGELIO—— DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine)

To give you a background of myself well i’m a college junior at de la salle universtiy manila here in the philippines and i was asking my father on how the zarraga’s started here in the philippines but all he knows is that, and this is with accordance to history, there may be one of our ancestors that may have joined one of the spanish expeditions way back in the 16th and 17th century where the spaniards had taken over our country and to tell you there is a small town down south in the visayas that is named zarraga.

I’m going to try and help you out with your project and keep in touch for further discoveries of the family’s background. ○○○○○○○○

My name is Cielo Z.Vaflor. My mother is from Binan, Laguna and she is the Zarraga. Her name is Ana Zarraga. Her late father (my grandfather) was Godioso Zarraga, married to my late grandmother Soccoro Padua Zarraga. He was a well known zapatero during the olden times. He owned a shoe/slipper (zapatillas) in Biñan, Laguna for more than 50 years and she was in the restaurant business – along with my mother. I heard my mom talk about a Tia Ida and that might be the Ida I saw on your website.

Those pictures are just random pictures I took. I live in New Jersey now. I am a mortgage analyst. Nothing spectacular really. I don’t know if I look Spanish at all… I guess not but my mother’s family had semi tall noses not reflective of the original Filipino noses so we might have some blood.

There are indications that ranchers are interested in pasture improvement. Recently, a group of ranchers in Mindanao have been active and aggressive in pasture development. One of them, Mr. Dante Zarraga of Magic Farms, established excellent signal grass pasture. He initially imported 500 kg of signal grass seed in 1997 for expansion of pasture on his property but sold it all to his colleagues. He then ordered an 15 additional 2 tons. A follow-up survey of several ranchers who obtained seeds from Mr. Zarraga, showed satisfaction among them as they were able to carry more animals per unit of land. This kind of enthusiasm shows that there is further scope for improved pasture.
