This is the website for the family of Tranquilino Javier Ortaliz and Benedicta Villalobos Fernandez,  both from Jaro, Iloilo. They migrated to Negros Occidental, together with the other brothers of Lolo  Tanqui. Raising five children in Negros, Lolo Tanqui believed that education was most important, and  he would borrow money from his richer relatives, so he could send his children to school. Tita Uping  became a pharmacist, Tita Paking a teacher, Tito Julio a physician, Tita Nening a dentist, and the  youngest, my mother Elving became a pharmacist too.  All of them did well in school, graduating with  honors, and topping the government board exams in their respective fields.
