My Grandmothers name was Paz Villegas and was born in Bacong. Some of her brothers names are: Indalicio Villegas, Tusong Villegas, Lolong Villegas, Iliong Villegas and Hugo Villegas are all that my mom could remember at this time.

Our town actually celebrates his birth anniversary for one whole week- starting off on the 23rd of July culminating with a grand finale complete with fireworks display on the 27th. Our local government unit actually invites people from Carcar to come and join us . This year,the 141st birth anniversary of Leon Kilat, we are expecting 100 guests from Carcar.Maritess Amores La-agnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597817245101254838.post-91126205839446092622013-10-12T23:21:43.573-07:002013-10-12T23:21:43.573-07:00hi ms. if you could trace who are the brothers of ...hi ms. if you could trace who are the brothers of policarpio villegas the father of leon kilat, then I would be very thankfuand need to meet you for a personal thanksgiving.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384070475677012021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597817245101254838.post-15902430398404827712009-07-28T08:55:53.029-07:002009-07-28T08:55:53.029-07:00Hello Ms. B -

When I was on vacation last October 2008, I passed by Carcar on my way back to the city from Badian and visited an old house near the church they converted into a museum.Its only there that I learned about one of our history's great and as usual died a treacherous way just like Bonifacio and Antonio Luna<BR/><BR/><BR/>LP Toronto, On, CanadaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243331777207824596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597817245101254838.post-87501382508897922852008-08-27T02:57:00.001-07:002008-08-27T02:57:00.001-07:00Hi Ms. BrainardIf you could help & give some m...Hi Ms. Brainard<BR/><BR/>If you could help & give some me some info.

He had several disguises and worked in a travelling carnival.<BR/><BR/>His birthplace is actually Bacong in Negros Oriental. He has a small statue in the city plaza. His descendants still live within the area.Dom Cimafrancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02060486314112462681noreply@blogger.com
