Hello!
With the help of my distant cousin, Charlotte ASPIRAS Teodoro, we found this new route for our family:
My grandfather, TEODORO GAGO (or Gayo) ASPIRAS, is the first cousin of TORIBIA ___ ASPIRAS. Toribia is the mother of the former Tourism Minister, JOSE D. ASPIRAS. Jose married and had his first daughter, AIDA ___ ASPIRAS, who then married and had CHARLOTTE ASPIRAS TEODORO.
JOSE D. ASPIRAS' ACCOMPLISHMENTS: (http://www.launion.gov.ph)One of The illustrious sons of this town is the late Jose D. Aspiras who was elected to the Philippine Congress in 1969. He also served as Minister of Tourism and Information Secretary during the time of President Marcos. Before he died in November 14, 1999, Aspiras was resident representative and managing director, with the rank of ambassador of the Manila Economic Cultural based in Taiwan.
The 16th century Agoo Parish Church, restored and refurbished (spearheaded by the late Minister Jose Aspiras) has been elevated to the rank of Basilica Minore by Pope John Paul II in 1981, one of the very few in the country today.
I certainly hope that I will find more Aspiras relatives out there...
