From Japan with love and Jumaquiouish by character...
The famed Jo Ma Kyo was a Japanese missionary merchant who came into the Philippine shores circa 16th century. Interestingly, it was believed and passed generations to generations by
the early elder Jumaquios of Paombong, Bulacan, Philippines that the
ancestors of the Jumaquio bloodline was Jo Ma Kyo, a native of Nagasaki,
Japan who came into the Philippine shores and first settled in Old San
Miguel, Manila then in Paco Dilao in Manila circa 1600’s together with
fellow Japanese until he married a native named Digna Veneracion where
they settled and lived in Kapitangan, Paombong.
Old San Miguel, Manila was near Pasig River and adjacent to the famous Malacañan Palace. It was the first settlement area of Japanese traders during Spanish time in Old Manila. These early Jumaquios also settled in Old Manila shores particularly in the present area where the Malate Catholic Church is located.
Genealogically speaking, after Jo Ma Kyo’s marriage, the first Jumaquio family settlers were originally based at old Kapitangan, Paombong, Bulacan, Philippines. It was researched that when Jo Ma Kyo married a native named Digna Veneracion, because the time then was of Spanish colonialism, instead of writing "Jo Ma Kyo" into baptismal and marriage records, the name Jomaquio was written.
Because of the Spanish way of recording followers of faith, Jo Ma Kyo eventually became Jomaquio until the early years of 1900’s. During the nearness of World War II, Jomaquio became Jumaquio. Mostly the descendants then of Jo Ma Kyo family were males. They were also into marketing particularly as well-known merchants of the famed Sukang Paombong. It is believed as well that the all Jumaquio descendants in the Philippines were and are belonged to the great Jo Ma Kyo.
According to the many Jumaquios of Hagonoy, Malolos and Paombong, Bulacan who were knowledgeable of their blood relatives and bloodline, one of the blood relatives who was Jomaquio by blood was Don José C. Cojuangco, the good father of former Philippine President Corazon Sumulong Cojuangco Aquino. Don José's father was Don Melecio who married Doña Tecla Chichioco of Malolos, Bulacan who was a Jumaquio was ancestry because of her mother Doña Maria Valenzuela Chichioco whose mother was Doña Valeriana or Doña Valentina also known as "Doña Bale" Jumaquio of Kapitangan, Paombong, Bulacan.
Doña Tecla was the great grandniece of Don Tiburcio Jumaquio and Doña Urzula Gutierrez, hacienderos and merchants of Kapitangan, Paombong, Bulacan.
The Jumaquios of Paombong remembered the pleasant old stories told by their ancestors and even by some of themselves who witnessed during their younger days the humane and remarkable relationships of Don José Cojuangco and his ancestors and parents to their relatives, friends and even to common people during the golden days at the Cojuangco’s ancestral home in Malolos, Bulacan almost front of the historical Barasoain Church and even after Don José Cojuangco eventually lived at Hacienda Luisita in the province of Tarlac, Philippines.
Today, because of vast and rapid increase of human population and influxes of immigration around the world, the Jumaquio clan grows bigger. Many of relatives are of no identity. Moreover, my paternal grandparents were both Jumaquios. Have a great day!
