Memories – Lola Goria (Gregoria de Jesus Nakpil)

Gregoria de Jesus and Her Children ca. 1900

My recollection of life with Lola (Grandma) Goria starts in the early 30’s and 40’s when she stayed at our home on Dakota St. in Ermita, along with my parents Juanito and Aning, brothers Titong and Logy, and sisters Annie and Edith.

Remembering Sundays at Barbosa

Lola Teta and Dad at Christmas, 1935

Throughout my childhood, lunch on Sunday was always at Barbosa (the former name of A. Bautista Street). This was how we referred to Bahay Nakpil-Bautista back then.
