Aquilino Brillantes

Documents of Genealogical Importance
The extant documents recording the existence of Aquilino Brillantes y Juanico are the registry of marriage of his children in the Canonical Books (from year 1910 to 1935) of St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Parish in Banate, Iloilo. Philippines. In these records, his name appears together with that of his wife, Francisca Pelagio (daughter of Pedro Pelagio). At least the matrimonial records of Francisco, Agrifina, Circuncision, and Marta are still legible.

During the 2007 reunion of the descendants of his maternal grandfather Tomas Juanico (elected Gobernadorcillo of Banate in 1855), the names of his parents, Doña Andrea Juanico y Balderas and Don Vicente Brillantes y Blancaflor of Barotac Nuevo, were confirmed by his relatives. His other sibblings were also identified as follows:

* Aquilino * Julian * Petronilo * Arcadio
