Columbus From Badoc, Ilocos Norte

Lola Guillerma was one of the Rosete sisters. She married Atty. Andres Rana and eventually settled at Badoc Ilocos Norte. She was never called by her name then; instead she was COLUMBUS.

Umay umudong nga aggapo Ilocos na addo awit na nga bawang - Ilocos is noted for bawang (garlic). She would travel back and forth from Serrano Laktaw, where Lolo Inocencio lived, and to Proj. 7.
Apay ngata Columbus iti panayod na? I am posting one of her rare pictures together with the picture of Christopher Columbus. You be the judge.



Her curly yet not kinky white hair had a wave similar to Columbus. One trademark of the Rosete women was the natural curl in their hair. Addo iti ma-swerte nga bab-bae nga Rosete ta adda iti kulot ti bu-buok da. Ngem kuna da met, ti kulot ti buok ket nakaro nga suplada - ask my sister she should know.
Lola Guillerma & Lolo Andres had 2 children - Uncle Eddie & Auntie Marilyn.
