Religious and Cultural Legacy


Don Martin Balderas handed down to his descendants the centuries-old image of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, popularly known in Banate as "The Dolorosa". It is an important religious and cultural legacy he left to his family and to the town of Banate, which is used during the traditional Good Friday procession. Originally given to the care of Doña Maria (Camarera de la Virgen Dolorosa), his firstborn, the image was jointly taken cared of by his granddaughters Josefina Madrid (1902-1976) the youngest daughter of Doña Maria, and Luz Gonzalez y Balderas (daughter of his daughter Doña Maxima Gonzalez née Balderas), who became the Camareras when Doña Maria died. Doña Maria's elder daughter Pilar, who was already married to Hon. Paulo Badilla (President of Banate from 1927-1929), was already given the responsibility as the Camarera of the Badilla Clan's Santo Entierro. During the war, Luz took care of the image, saving it from damage and hid it from the knowledge and eyes of the Japanese who occupied the town of Banate. Remaining unmarried until her death in 1998, she gave her properties to the Luz Balderas Gonzales Foundation, Inc., which has as one of its main benefactions the preservation and maintenance of the Dolorosa for the Viernes Santo procession in Banate. The Foundation "was established primarily to help improve the living conditions of the people of Banate, Iloilo, extend financial assistance through scholarship grants, to provide avenues for the youth to exercise their talents and to develop their potentials, to help filipino women and to help promote Christian virtues and values". Dra. Otelia Peregil, Don Martin's great great granddaughter and Doña Maria's great granddaughter by her son Serafin Madrid y Balderas, is the current President of the Foundation. Ms. Edna Gonzales, great granddaughter of Don Martin Balderas through his daughter Maxima, is the current Camarera of the Dolorosa.
