Hermanas Mayores 2012
September 22,2012.Quezon City,Philippines.
The 320th Fiesta Celebration for Our Lady's Nativity in Calbayog City,Philippines
on September 8,2012 has been a fruitful year for Calbayognons especially for the
family of this year's Hermanas Mayores; Maria Myrra Querol Emerson,Maria Oledan Querol and Lucia Oledan Querol respectively.
First, I would like to tell you something about Maria Oledan Querol.Aside from being
a mother to us Eleven children from our late father Paulino Querol Sr, my mother is a
grandchild of the late Placido Rama of Cebu.
Her being deeply religious is precisely because of her upbringing taught by her
elders who were once connected with Calbayog diocese since the early 1900's.
The late Placido, inspite of his good fortune in Cebu, migrated to Calbayog thru
the help of Spanish priest assigned to Calbayog by the Archdiocese of Cebu.
Since then, he became the first Calbayog Catholic Cemetery Administrator,Altar assistant to the Spanish priests saying masses in Latin at the Three altars of
the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral in it's early years.
Not only that he assisted the priests in saying masses in Latin but he was also
being tasked as the chief cook for the Bishop's palace for decades until his
death in Nineteen Forty Seven(1947).
He relinquished his tasks being an eldest son of his family
in favor of being an assistant and cook to the priests of the
Diocese of Calbayog.
That's how deeply religious he was.And he succeeded in teaching his Three daughters
and finally his First granddaughter in the person of Maria Rama Oledan Querol.
The next hermana is Maria Myrra Querol Emerson.She is the Third child among the
Eleven children of Maria Rama Oledan Querol. Like her mother she also got
a blood of a deeply religious family.She lives now in Monterey,California,USA with
her husband Frank Tours Emerson who himself has a brother priest serving in the United Kingdom.
Lastly ,Lucia Oledan Querol is the Fifth among the Eleven children
of Maria Rama Oledan Querol.She is single and now lives in Vancouver,British Columbia,Canada.
In behalf of our family ,I would like to say thank you for all Calbayognons
who in one way or the other helped make this year's celebrations a more
meaningful and joyful to all of us.
