Roots of the Abonitalla-Salcedo Clans of Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City

 

If you want to read or know about the Salcedo Roots in Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City, we would never fail to mention the Abonitalla surname. The reason is, the late old Patriarch of the Salcedo families in Kauswagan by the name of Fulgencio Salcedo had three sons and one daughter, all from his first marriage, and all four of them were married to the Abonitallas. They were all original settlers of Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City. Kauswagan had a former informal name of Barrio Balahutao before the 1900s. The siblings by Fulgencio’s  marriages were:                     (First Generation)

1. Elias Salcedo – married to Petrona (Jabonitalla) Abonitalla

2. Julian Salcedo – married to Epifania Jabonitalla, sister of Petrona

3. Isidora Salcedo – married to Jose Abonitalla, first cousin of Petrona and Epifania

4. Jorge Salcedo – married to Justa Abonitalla, sister of Jose and first cousin of Petrona.

5. Jose Salcedo – married to Galicana Abragan of Canito-an & Iponan, CDO

6. Jesus Salcedo – married to Maria Ebanalo (grandfather of the writer of this article)

7. Calixto Salcedo – married to Anacleta Paz Gaabucayan of Lico-an, CDO

The last three of the siblings were from Fulgencio’s second marriage (to Susana Caayao of Tiano St., Cagayan de Oro City).  As of early 1900s, the common surname of the Abonitalla was Jabonitalla, the original surname of the settlers who came from Ilocos Sur municipalities of Santiago and Candon. Up to the present the surname Jabonitalla abound in these towns and others spread to La Union, Isabela and Nueva Ecija. But now the Abonitalla and Jabonitalla surname are all over the world.

Epifania Saluper Abonitalla-Julian Salcedo Clan

Epifania Saluper Abonitalla was married to Julian Salcedo. They were both original settlers of Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City. Epifania had another sister, Petrona Saluper Abonitalla who was also married to a younger brother of Julian Salcedo named Elias Salcedo.

There was this intricate intermarriage of the Abonitalla and Salcedo families for there were two other sets of these marriages. One was the marriage of Jose Abonitalla I, first cousin of Epifania to a sister of Julian Salcedo named Isadora Salcedo. Still another was the marriage of Justa Abonitalla, sister of Jose I to Jorge Salcedo, brother of Julian. People tend to confuse these names, for Jorge Salcedo also named one of his sons Julian Salcedo, married to Sasing Zaballero of Talisayan, Misamis Oriental.

Julian Salcedo and Epifania Abonitalla had 6 children:

1. Ramona Abonitalla Salcedo – married to Alejandro Jadap                                           Children: Isabel Jadap married to Emiterio Acenas, Ramon Jadap married to Pacing Lusterio, Leonarda Jadap – married to Francisco Cabusca, Arceli Jadap married to – –

Pantaleon Abonitalla Clan

Pantaleon Saluper Abonitalla was born in Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City. His father was Bonifacio Abonitalla, one of three brothers from Northern Luzon, Philippines who came to settle here. His mother was Segundina ‘Nanay Tunding’ Saluper. He had two brothers and two sisters, namely, Vicente, Martino, Petrona and Epifania all surnamed Abonitalla. He got married twice, the first wife was Vicenta Ramonal from Bayabas, Cagayan de Oro City and had two sons by that marriage: Justino Ramonal Abonitalla and Vedasto Ramonal Abonitalla. After the death of the first wife, he was married again, this time with Fructuosa Daba from Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City. He had four children with Fructuosa “Tutay” Daba Abonitalla. He lived in Kauswagan all throughout his life and only briefly evacuated to Alubijid, Misamis Oriental during World War II. He barely survived the war and died in October ’45.

Petrona Abonitalla-Elias Salcedo Clan

Petrona Abonitalla-Elias Salcedo Clan was the first well planned and well-organized of our clans. Established and documented in the late 1980s, they were able to publish a book in bound form (soft cover). This writer was given a copy of the said book but unfortunately it did not survive the weather or wear and tear, so to say. Still we are searching for a copy.

The first people surnamed Abonitalla settled in Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City during the 1800s. There were three sets of siblings by three brothers whose forbears were from Luzon, Philippines – probably from the province of Nueva Ecija. The original surname was JABONITALLA. But the majority of the surname group dropped the J and adopted the surname Abonitalla. The last of the siblings who carried the original surname were Donata Jabonitalla, who married Rustico Agawin and a sister, Paula Jabonitalla married to Vicente Yaranon. People with the surname Jabonitalla continue to live up to the present in Nueva Ecija, La Union and in Candon, Sta. Cruz and Santiago, Ilocos Sur. The last descendants who carried the middle name were Clodualdo Jabonitalla Yaranon> http://varpackbox.com/family_tree/nacalaban_-_yamut_family_tree <Isabel Jabonitalla Yaranon and Emilia Jabonitalla Yaranon. Jabonitalla surname was then  a popular name derived from Espanol which meant perfumery, only it was spelled jabonitalia (for Italian soap). Whichever was their reason, they decided on Abonitalla as their legal surname. 

The three brothers who came to settle in Kauswagan (then known as “Balangay sa Balahutao”) were: Faustino, Ignacio and the third had probable name Bonifacio. They have this custom of resurrecting the names of their forbears, for presently there are descendants named after them. The father of the three would also have probable first name Juan.

The basis for this was that sometime ago, there were persons who came to Kauswagan and asked some information about properties purportedly owned by Juan Jabonitalla which they claimed were in the Commonwealth government  archives or somewhere in the Spanish government records.

THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND SIBLINGS

Faustino Abonitalla

Faustino Abonitalla was married to Cristina Saluper and not long after they left Kauswagan and settled in the town of Balingasag. Their family and descendants were knitted close to each other and later spread to the near town of Lagonglong and much later in Claveria. A member of their side of the family returned to reside in Cagayan de Oro City and became very prominent, He was Dr. Gerardo Abonitalla Sabal, who later served successive terms in the City Council. Another family member was a government employee (a teacher actually and later Elem. School Principal) originally from Claveria who moved his family to the city and some of his heirs are now in Barangay Nazareth or all through out the city. Folk stories also were often heard that other relatives ventured in the city like the then owner of Erlinda Store and a member of the Chacon family but this writer did not have first hand accounts.

For purposes of presentation, and for the folks in Kauswagan and elsewhere, the following large families and clans were the sons and daughters of Faustino Abonitalla and Cristina Saluper who in the beginning settled in the eastern part of Misamis Oriental. The members of their branch of the family tree are now all over the country and the world. Source:  http://abonitalla.com/ (see “about” and “reunions”)

Bonifacio Abonitalla

Bonifacio Abonitalla was one of the brothers who sticked it out in Kauswagan. He married Segundina “Nanay Tunding” Saluper. Nanay Tunding had a brother who married a lady from Australia named Anne Brown. Only very recently somebody has posted that Santiago Saluper is the name (the brother of Nanay Tunding) who married an Australian and was in fact the father of Iyo Juanie Saluper who lived long enough with us in Kauswagan that we had so much time to be acquainted. For the sake of those who did not see him, he had a caucasian physical profile and looked every inch like a foreigner. His sons Oliver and Gregory were our friends although we see them infrequently. We also knew his daughters Luzminda and Eva Saluper cause we considered them neighbors during the time only very few people resided in Kauswagan. Iyo Juanie had two other children from previous marriage. They were Roland Saluper who left Kauswagan and the other was married to Lagsa family, the only one heir I know was Romualdo Saluper Lagsa, a Geodetic Engineer (Lagsa Surveying Office).

I knew for a fact that Iyo Juanie had a sister or two. One was Iya Boning Saluper who married the famous Rodriguez family of Gingoog City and her son became its past City Mayor. By some accounts, I also knew the Former Governor Ruthie De Lara Guingona is a relative from that branch of the family tree. This bit of information were confirmed by the sons Oliver and Gregory.

It is not clear however if Nanay Tunding was a sister or cousin of Cristina, the wife of Faustino, but there’s a strong possibility that they were sisters, given that they were original settlers of Kauswagan.

Bonifacio had three sons and two daughters. It is of interest how the Abonitalla siblings got into intimacy and intermarriage with the Salcedo surname (also original settlers of Kauswagan):

The Siblings:

1. Vicente Saluper Abonitalla  – married to Miangko Labis.  They had an only heir, Juan Labis Abonitalla married to “Mening” Nagac.
2. Pantaleon Saluper Abonitalla – married to (1) Vicenta  Ramonal of Bayabas, CdO     (2) Fruoctuosa “Nanay Tutay” Sambaan Daba.  Particularly, a member of the Balingasag families, Tiyo Langgoy Llausas would visit us in  Kauswagan in the past. We also knew he was a son of Iya Olis and that Iya Olis was a first  cousin of my Lolo.
3. Martino Saluper Abonitalla –      married to Atanacia Pactolerin    (I clearly remember Uyong Martino was a one-eyed Eskrimador, the forerunner of Arnis de mano)
4. Ramona Saluper Abonitalla  –    married to Elias Salcedo
5. Epifania Saluper Abonitalla –       married to Julian Salcedo

I don’t consider it funny, but my Lolo Pantaleon also named his eldest son Faustino; another son by his second marriage named Bonifacio. I myself have a younger brother named Bonifacio. Now if you don’t call that amusing.. lol..  (The main writer of this article, now aged 64 is a grandson of Pantaleon S. Abonitalla by Segundo Daba Abonitalla and Gerarda Ebanalo Salcedo).

Also, during my roaming younger days, i chanced upon the household of Mr. Dioscoro Abonitalla and met him personally in Dumarait. That was way back in 1974 when i was employed with the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (former BAECON) in a Farming Households Survey. There i learned that Dioscoro also had a son – a boxer named Faustino. That was also the office where i came to work with Dante Llausas and we learned about our Abonitalla Connections.lol.. We even went to eat and drink in Dante’s in-laws house in Salay. I also happen to have slept in a tall house in Baliwagan in relation to my work as Data Enumerator. It was owned by the Salvacion family who acknowledged they were Abonitalla descendants, or there was also Sarbaleon. Not long after when I was working at DepED, I used to patronize the eatery of Dondon Salvacion and we got acquainted. Most of the contents here are my personal knowledge and experiences.

Ignacio Abonitalla

Ignacio was the other brother who opted to stay in Kauswagan. He married __ Catalina Amil_(source of info for her first name: Canuto Abruntilla, Jr.) Their children were:

Jose Amil Abonitalla – married to Isadora Salcedo

Canuto Amil Abonitalla – married an American woman, had children, lived and died in the USA. This writer has tried to search Abonitallas through the US names databases and found some entries but hard to verify. Also there are already many immigrants from the Philippines carrying our surname. (Newly established truth to this is that due to some conversational language barriers and misrepresentation their surname was changed to Abruntilla).

Donata Amil Jabonitalla – married to Rustico Agawin.

Paula Amil Jabonitalla – married to Vicente Yaranon

Antonia Amil Abonitalla – married to Alejandro Agawin.

Justa Amil Abonitalla – married to Jorge Salcedo

The spouses of all siblings surnamed Salcedo came from only one family, the heirs of Fulgencio Salcedo.

The Grandchildren of the Three Brothers:

Actually you’ll find here the names of descendants of the two brothers who lived in Kauswagan, but it is hoped that with the availability of records from trusted sources it will amount to all the three.
