Tito Nonong

Tatay’s youngest brother, Richard Perez, or Tito Nonong for short, went home last February from the States to have a mini reunion with his brother and sister. Tatay, Tita Madre and Tito Nonong are the only remaining among their siblings. They were all 8, and Tito Ben was the last one who joined his Maker (as mentioned in my last year’s entry to this blog).

Tito Nonong is the youngest among the brood, he’s based in Chicago now, the only one among the brothers who is an American citizen. he has one child, my cousin Chris who is a member of the US Air Force.

Anyway, their mini reunion was quite eventful. My 96 year old Lola (their mother) was teary eyed when she recognized that her Nonong is back home. She is quite forgetful now so it took her sometime before she recognized Tito Nonong.

Tito Nonong spent almost 3 weeks in the Philippines. He went with Tatay and Nanay in Gen. Santos City to meet one of their cousins who live there (Tita Sol). He also had time to take care of Lola while he was in Makati. He was also able to went to Tagaytay with the pamangkins, and he was also able to visit the malls.

Here's a picture taken when me and Judith treated the 3 of them for dinner in a Japanese restaurant in Mall of Asia.
