To further know my family, let's start with my grandparents on my father's side. Jose Mallari Jr. and the late Cornelia Mallari were gifted with 2 beautiful daughters and 2 handsome sons, it was supposed to be 5 but sadly, the twin of my father died a week after he was born. Commencing with their eldest, Josephine Mallari, who married Mize Nishikura, a Japanese and was gifted with 3 handsome boys, Tats, Ken, and Hiro who are now residing in Osaka, Japan. Next is my father, Joseph Mallari who then married my mother, Perlie Mallari who had 3 of us, with my sister Johannah and her daughter Nyxie Lumingkit, my brother Jordan, and of course, me as their youngest child. Now moving on to my uncle Jose Mallari Jr. who was married to Allen Mallari and raised their only child Kent Mallari (who is one of my favorite cousins by the way). And lastly, to my grandparent's youngest daughter, Crystel Joyce Mallari who is just a year older than my sister who is her ultimate best friend, she is also my favorite cousin along with Kent. Since we were young, all of us had been so much together, we shared clothes, slept in each other's houses, went there anytime, and spent some time together. And that is my relatives on my father's side.
Now on the mother's side, let's start with my grandmother, Erlinda Galotera who was gifted with 3 children whose oldest is my uncle Francis Galotera. Next is my mother, Perlie Mallari, who again had 3 of their children and a cheerful granddaughter, Nyxie. Next is my uncle, Gilbert Braga was married to Edeline Braga who has a handsome son, Gabriel Braga, and a beautiful daughter Gilian Braga. Our family did not have the chance to spend time with them like what we did on my father's side as they are living in Luzon, but if we were given a chance to spend time with them, we would. Just like what we did during my niece's birthday.
During holidays and special occasions, our family and my father's side had never been absent, we will always spend it together, from birthdays, visiting my late grandmother, Christmas and New Year, we will always go hand in hand. I grew up seeing and spending time so much with my father's side while my mother's side is either not in Davao or just has different priorities.
Witness the tree of genetics that branches each unique person with their own unique stories. I present you my tree of bloodline and generation, "Mallari's Genealogy".
