Francisco Bangoy is one of the pioneers Davao City. The street in the Santa Ana area “F. Bangoy” is named after him. His brothers were Cayetano Bangoy, after whom C. Bangoy Street (formerly Ponciano Reyes St) is named. Another brother (not sure though) is Paciano Bangoy – the last governor of the then-undivided Davao Province. Francisco settled in the Sasa area, which explains the name of the airport – it was purchased from his Reta heirs. Cayetano settled in Toril – among his descendants were former Councilor Benigno “Bebeng” Bangoy, the Amoguis-Bangoy family and the Calizo family.

Thanks for that information! I’ve asked my friend from Davao and even he doesn’t know who Francisco Bangoy really is.

DON FRANCISCO BANGOY WAS THE FIRST APPOINTED REPRESENTATIVE {CONGRESSMAN} OF DAVAO CITY IN THE 30’s.DAVAOENEOS SHOULD KNOW THAT. HE WAS ONE OF THE PILLARS OF THE CITY. HE OWNED THE ENTIRE SASA DISTRICT.WHEN HE DIED, SASA WAS LEFT TO HIS 3 HEIRS,DON PACIANO BANGOY{THE INCUMBENT DAVAO GOVERNOR OF THE 60s and 70s},DONYA SALUD BANGOY RETA, AND DONYA MERCEDES BANGOY PICHON,MY GRANDMOTHER.IT WAS ONLY RIGHT THAT THE AIRPORT OF DAVAO WAS NAMED AFTER HIM BECAUSE THE HECTARES OF LAND WHERE THE NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS NOW, WAS OWNED BY DON FRANCISCO BANGOY HEIRS. THE DAUGHTER OF DONYA SALUD, MRS. REMEDIOS RETA BERMEJO. AND THE DAUGHTER AND SON OF DONYA MERCEDES BANGOY PICHON..VICENTE BANGOY PICHON AND MERCEDITA PICHON MEDINA.
THE REASON WHY I WROTE THIS, I WANT ALL THE DAVAOENEOS TO KNOW,SPECIALLY THE NEW GENERATION,THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF DAVAO... ABOUT DON FRANCISCO BANGOY, ONE OF THE MAKERS OF DAVAO. NO EXCUSE TO BE IGNORANT ABOUT THE THINGS AROUND YOU, SO STUDY AND KNOW YOUR CITY. IT BROADENS THE MIND TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE.

CON’T} FROM DON FRANCISCO BANGOY CAME THE 3 WELL KNOWN FAMILIES OF DAVAO CITY... THE RETAS{CORNELIO “CONING” BANGOY RETA} WAS THE INCUMBENT BARANGAY CAPTAIN OF SASA OF THE 70s AND 80s… THE BANGOYS{DON PACIANO BANGOY, WAS THE INCUMBENT GOVERNOR OF DAVAO CITY OF THE 60s}... AND THE PICHONS, {CITY FISCAL RAUL BANGOY PICHON, MY UNCLE} HE WAS DAVAO CITY FISCAL OF THE 80s. ME? WHICH BRANCH OF THE FAMILY I BELONG? I THINK UPON READING THIS,EVERYBODY WILL KNOW THAT I BELONG TO DONYA MERCEDES BANGOY PICHON LINEAGE.

SO, YOUNG PEOPLE OF DAVAO, KNOW YOUR ROOTS, KNOW YOUR CITY, AND MOST IMPORTANLY, KNOW THE PEOPLE OF YESTERYEARS, BECAUSE, THEY WERE THE ONES WHO MADE YOUR CITY, WHAT IT IS NOW..THE BEAUTIFUL, CLEANEST, AND PROPEROUS CITY, A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE IN….

Hi Dove, thanks for the information. But you don’t need to keep the Caps Lock key enabled to get your point across.

Well theres a lot of Bangoy Settlers in Sasa and as far I know my Grandparents Ceferino Bangoy and Ereta Sumi (half japanese) live at Panacan Davao city and according to them they own the land in which union cement is now standing actually the back part of it still owned by a Bangoy Family .But, I dont in which lineage of Bangoy Clan we Belong I wasnt have the time to ask my Grandfather because He died early and my Grandmother also went back to Japan to find her own roots too.only some points I could recall that my Grandfather is the son of Cayetano Bangoy and ? Villanueva i dont know who`s and what`s next ..anyway it is sometimes nice to know your lineage at least you know what your made up it is not because they are famous but because you are part of theyre blood..oh I forgot anyway, my Brother is Atty. Cres Dan Bangoy he has a law office in Washington Street D.C. thanks

To Ms. Crestine Bangoy Santiago:

such awful English!

to The South Star, then who are you to leave such comment ? it is just clear that you`re such an IDIOT, unmannered ,rude or just maybe a persona of nothing but a brainless head !mind you own english!!!!!!!!!!moron.

re;south star ,mind your own english moron!!!!!

uuuyy, “unmannered” and “persona of nothing” daw o

hi, ano po ang news about Cayetano and Paciano? Thanks

Sola Kaira, what about Cayetano and Paciano?

i just wonder why the name francisco bangoy international airport is not displayed on its terminal building?

Hi everybody, it’s me again…it’s been awhile since i was here…anyway, so glad some of you people out there are beginning to get interested about my great-grandfather Don Francisco Bangoy…his wife was Emilia Villanueva…my mom and her siblings used to call Don Francisco and Dona Emilia…Yoyong and Yoyang, instead of lolo and lola, so we the 4th genre were also used to address them as such.

South Star…i do not know Crestine Bangoy personally, but i think, it’s uncalled for to criticize a person, even if you are in a position to do so….it’s still bad manners…i would like to think that we Filipinos aren’t like that…tsk tsk tsk tsk…nakakahiya kaibigan….you have to give some allowances, patience to others…i believe human failings is just accidental, not intentional
Me…I couldn’t say i am perfect because i know i am not…you can criticize my grammar, go ahead, i dont give a heck… because i dont know you..

TO SOLA….
Cayetano and Francisco were brothers…My Yoyong (Don Francisco) i think was an older brother…I’m sorry but i am not sure if the family of Cayetano were the ones living in Toril..i cannot ask my mom and aunts now because i am here in Manila right now..i will go visiting them this December, i will ask them…

TO CCP….
Don Paciano Bangoy was my grand-uncle..he was the younger brother of my Lola Cedes ( Dona Mercedes Bangoy Pichon) If you guys are still living right now in Davao..you can see our place in Km.10 Sasa..it’s our place..the old white house on the hill top..across the Pier Terminal..that house was called before when my lola was still alive.. Ancestral home..
Lolo Pacing (Don Paciano) as he was fondly called by sooo many was our incumbent governor of the 60s and early 70s….he was the only son ( they were 3 siblings) of Don Francisco and Dona Emilia…ooh by the way my mom’s name is also Emilia..
i said they were 3 siblings…. actually the oldest was my Lola Cedes, next to her was Lola Aling (Dona Salud)..if you are familiar about Davao’s places, am sure you know Dona Salud Subdivision..thats her name, subdivision was named after her…by my uncle Coning Reta and my Tita Didang (Remedios Bermejo)Dona Salud’s children…..Sasa km10 and Km 11 belongs to my family before…i remember my Lola Cedes told us a story..about her mana (inheritance) on her wedding day..Yoyong ( Don Francisco ) gave her a 110 hectares land and that was in Sasa…
But now..sad to say most of those lands were sold to others and alot also were given to the government to build schools, roads, the old airport was ours before and i heard it was donated by Yoyong (Don Francisco) 40 hectares of land……and now it’s a prime lot…and the pier in Sasa was also ours before and my Lolo Tonio (Don Antonio Palma Gil Pichon, husband of my Lola Cedes)told us that the government bought it from us only at 20centavos per square meter…

TO CRESTINE….i am sure we are related…but i am sorry i am not familiar with the family of Ceferino Bangoy..i am the oldest among first cousins…gosh!! you’ll be surprised we are 78 first cousins….but just recently one died..i will ask my mom and aunts about our family..i think Tita Letty ( Mrs. Leticia Bangoy Pichon Militante) made a family tree years ago…i will try to ask her a copy of it…
i hope we can communicate..my email add is….dove_summer@yahoo.com

Hi again…i would just like to correct some wrong info. Don Paciano Villanueva Bangoy was not the brother of Cayetano Bangoy..Cayetano Bangoy was the brother of the first congressman of Davao City, Don Francisco Bangoy, my great-grandfather…
I would like everyone to know that Don Paciano Villanueva Bangoy the incumbent governor of Davao city in the year 60’s and early 70’s was the only son of Don Francisco Bangoy…

So please good citizens of Davao dont mix-up your infromations regarding the Bangoy Clan…its better to ask and know it first before…saying the exact truth…if you want to know more you can go to our place in Sasa and ask my titas there and my mom. Or else i can call them thru long distance and ask them and will tell you folks out there…just email me if you still want some more info about the bangoys

TO SOLA kAIRA……

Hi…may i know if you are also related to the Bangoys? And, may i know also why were you asking about Cayetano Bangoy and Don Paciano Bangoy? Well, ok… i will share it to you some things that i can still remember about Lolo Pacing (Don Paciano.) He was a short man only about 5 ft.tall, a moreno and a little bit stocky…His house was in Sta. Ana before, just across the Holy Cross College. It was a grand house, 2 Phil. presidents were entertained there(one was Carlos Garcia and his wife Leonila) when they came visiting to Davao.) And i think Dona Josefa Edralin Marcos was given a welcome party there…Dona Josefa was a friend of Tita Vangie Bangoy Ignacio (daughter of Don Paciano) sometimes they played mahjong at Tita Vangie“s house. Both were dead now..
Don Paciano’s mana(inheritance) were the lands surrounding the old airport and the lands between the old airport road…some of his children and grandchilren are still living there…Lolo Pacing has 9 children( some were dead now)
i can tell you more but i have to stop here…if you want some info again about the Bangoy Clan..you can email me at…dove_summer@yahoo.com

Good day to you Sola Kaira…you got a nice name…byeeee

hanginon man diay ang mga tao dinhi!

Hello!

My name is Andy Calizo III, and Im also from the Bangoy lineage. Although not from Francisco. I come from his brother Cayetano. And yes, the Bangoys in Toril are of Cayetano’s lineage. My grandmother is Sergia Bangoy, one of Cayetano’s 13 children, who Married Andres Adaniel Calizo (from Aklan). They have 3 children, Baby, Emannuel (Nonong) and my father, the youngest, Roque Vicente.

Here in Toril, we live in Bangoy Compound. With about 30 or so families descending from Cayetano(he had 13 children for Christ’s sakes)
Most of Toril also used to be property of the Bangoys. Its evident as a lot of the Subdivisions, schools and other places are named from different Bangoy heirs.

pleassssss
sana po ang mga bangoy family mka-alala saamin kung mhal nila nang mga bangoy hndi nla bastosin
gya nung una bta pa mama ko nag hndi daw xa ng bigas sa inyu

Sola Karia,

Ill ask some of my tito’s about your grandparents and post it here.

sir andy calizo:

thank you very much, will check this site from time to time.

God bless you.

iyot mong tanan

Im one of the apo’s of Cayetano Bangoy, I remember during our reunion that I belong to the 6th generation (tama ba ako Andy? )..Anyway, Cayetano Bangoy was married to Victoriana Saavedra (from Zamboanga). They had 13 children. My grandmother (Ramona Bangoy Mallonga) is now the only one left of the children of Lolo Cayetano and Lola Bito.

I remember, when we were young, our grandparents talk to us in Dabawenyo, and we greet our relatives with “Buenas Dias, Noches or tardes”..Katigam pa ako mag Dabawenyo… If you could come and visit Bangoy Compound here in Toril, you could still see our ancestral house, although no one lives there anymore.

I recently visited the Davao Museum thinking I’d find information about the old families of Davao City but when I went there, it was on the different tribes of Mindanao. I remember before they said some of our great-grandparents’ things were donated to the museum or the historical society….I dont know if it is in Museo Dabawenyo (the new museum) though, but it will be good sana for the people of Davao to know about the history of Davao City and the old families.

Hi po! parang kilala ko po… ung name nyo,if I’m not wrong kasi po you are mentioned the name of your grandmother Ramona Saavedra Bangoy Mallonga,so maybe it’s you Rochelle Angela na anak ni Mrs.Corazon Bangoy Mallonga Baylon..ako po pala si Imie Juanesthe Estaniel Bangoy. na anak ni Arnold Sajulga Bangoy.

Hi y’all my relatives! just passing thru….

TO dove summer, I’m new here this site I’m really surprised of what I’ve read specially to dove summer! a lot of informations.You know pikon lang ako okay…we and my family are not interested of what are you saying about the information I’m not saying your bad but please stop giving information okay its good…but let people notice about our lineage ok…para ka naring hanginun ehh! We’re not interested at all because we know it already of where we come from and who we are para ka kasing ikaw lang ang may alam sa lahat bakit ikaw lang ba ang may alam? sa line age ng mag bangoy sino kami? na may alam sa lahat at sino ka natanungin namin at itanung ang totoo no need what for?pwede mahinahon ka you are not the only one be friendly and down to earth ok……that’s for now bye…..

Hiya! I, Isabella Immanuelle Camilet Maxey is the great grandaughter of Bangoy! In the Philippines, I’m rich! like a princess because of my great grandpa! But for now I live in america!

I miss the Philippines. I’m not rich. But I still wish I was

dove summer,good day to you…..do you have any idea about the bangoy clan in bohol?

dove summer,ang imo ancestor taga davao gyud sila or taga bohol ? sorry ha,tanan man gud diri nag english mao gusto ko magbisaya para gamay ra ang makasabot sa ako..seriously i am interested to know if your ancestor have relatives from bohol..

calling the bangoy clan…why don’t you start your own group and not use this site for your GREAT STORIES of YOUR GREAT FAMILY’s lineage eh?

To: Amaii and all members of the Bangoy Clan,

Good day to all of you!

I was told that the family roots of the Bangoy of Davao City and other parts of Mindanao came from Baclayon, Bohol.

Our ancestors, allegedly, were altar boys (sakristans) who were brought to Davao by Spanish Friars.

I think that is true because the Bangoy’s are not natives of Davao, it was their spouses who are from Davao, and beside, Baclayon Church is the oldest Church in the Country.

I suggest we start investigating this story and hopefully construct an official family tree for the Bangoy Clan.

Please tell me if you are interested so that we can plan on how to do it.

Thanks and God bless!

pls text me at 0917 345 9492 ……i am a DAR Cebu Provincial Office Employee…..pls do communicate!!!!

It is really sad that all comments on this blogs came from the young generations unaware of their lineage. For your information, a book(if I may call it)researched by Rogelio Lizada(family member) and published years ago and maybe still available at the DAVAO MUSEUM or at the BISTRO ROSARIO, F. Torres St., Davao City.
We belong to one clan, let not social standing, status,education and distance stand between each of us, let that blood runs in our veins and be united knowing that we belong to one family.

hmpf., hi?! i’m also BANGOY pero hindi ko alam kung ano/kanino kame kabilang., we are one family here in Rizal., my grandfather named ANTONIO BANGOY and he is the only son of ROSITA BANGOY and i dont know the name of my great-grand father. They told me the story when we are young but its not clear. I only remember the name PACIANO pero hindi ko alam kung sino cia. they also told us that my great-grand father(i dont know the name),he went to MANILA and hindi na siya nakabalik sa DAVAO (sasa), AND he died in BULACAN.

and know i’m trying to trace the family and the real story behind our name BANGOY.
so please help me to know more about them!
thank you.

sayang kaau no dako kaau na donate sa govt og baligya lng 20cent sq mts.kron panahona million na kantidad.cguro ang inyong lolo wla pa cguro nag interes a2ng panahona kay dle pa develop ang lugar.cgi lng kay ang tao mamatay,ang milyon ng kwarta mahanaw pero ang pangalan ni“FRANCISCO BANGOY“magpabilin hangtod sa hangtod.

TO DOVE SUMMER-Hi!im Devii from Leyte….am interested to get in touch w/ you since you know so many things regarding your clan.And seems like your mind is more broader than the rest,i’ve got a friend who belongs to your clan and yet very much stranger to the so called clan. we hope to get hold of the family tree you’re talking about. it will be a big help to give light to her clouded mind… can i rely on you? thanks so much!!!GOD BLESS!!! This is my e-mail add: deviidelacalzada@yahoo.com

Hi, here is what I have so far. I am from the Cayetano Bangoy clan and we presented this short history during our reunion so that the younger generations are aware of their heritage.

1st generation is Gabriel Bangoy (fr Bohol)- Alejandra Porta
2nd generation: Basilisa Benigno Escolastica Venancio Antolin

I can only account for the generation under Antolin Bangoy

Antolin Bangoy married Aparicia Bustamante
These are their children:
Gil, Maria, Monica, Catalina, Jesus, Guadalupe, Tomasa, Simona, Nicolasa, Macaria, Leona, Sofia, Justino, Sylvestra, Evaristo, Francisco, and Cayetano.

As great grand daughter of Cayetano, I can only account for the generations under him as well:
Cayetano Bangoy married Victoriana Saavedra (fr Zamboanga)
Children are:
Maria, Luis Alejandro, Ramona I, Bruno, Angela Aparicia, Felix Venancio, Canisio Victoriana, Cayetano Jr., Ramon Rolando, Jose Leonardo, Pablo Vicente, Sergia Manuela, Teofilo Macario, Leon Mardonio, Benigno Bibiano, Ramona II, Lucila, Pilar Dominga

Currently, we are now in the eight generation. A great number are staying in Bangoy Compound, in Toril, Davao City where the Ancestral House of Cayetano Bangoy still stands.

Hi everyone!

Just to let you know guys we had a mini family reunion with the Bangoy Clan in Melbourne just this month.
I have a copy of the family tree of the Bangoy Clan but I left it in Davao since am now living here in Sydney.

God Bless to all!!! Peace!!!

may i know who are the son and daughters of francisco bangoy .?

SANA PO MGA BANGOY SEARCH PO NINYO KONG SINONG TOTOONG OWNER NG TINATAYOAN NINYO. THANKS. CAYETANO BANGOY IS NOT THE REAL OWNER. HE ONLY BORROW IT ANG TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EVERYTHING.

FRANCISCO BANGOY IS NOT THE REAL OWNER OF SASA AIRPORT. TRY TO SEARCH DEEPER BY YEAR 1900, BANGOY ARE THE BORROWER’S ONLY.
