Please post in your Obituary the death of my father, Amadeo Sollesa Borreo, Sr. yesterday in California. A native of Infanta, Tatay Mading was a former public school teacher, head teacher and principal. He spent his long years of teaching in the elementary schools of Barangays Magsikap and Minahan in General Nakar, until his retirement. A World War II veteran, he moved to L..A California with my mother, Virginia Escareses Borreo, upon becoming a US citizen in the 1990s.

He is survived by Nanay Vinya, my three siblings, myself and our spouses and children. His remains would be brought home to Infanta where he would be laid to rest.

Thank you for praying for the repose of his soul.

According to information Pareng "Imven" Peñaverde, the former veterinary inspector of Infanta,Quezon, and husband of public school teacher Ms. Juliet Peñamora, passed away. He allegedly collapsed in front of the house of Mr. Portillo. Autopsy showed he reportedly died of "cancer of the stomach".

I know she has a daughter in the States, Ms. Evelyn Peñaverde Araña whose latest known address is:

85 Berwick Blvd.
Williamstown, New Jersey 08094
U.S.A.
Tel. (604) 875 - 4338

Please try these numbers (thanks to Shelley Ortiz)
I checked zabasearch and found the following phone numbers: 856 740 9180, 856 262 0847

I am not sure if Ms. Evelyn still lives in the above address. Internment day, I have no idea (Editor's Note: If address and phone number are incorrect, please let us know so we may inform our kababayans who would like to express their sympahty to the Peñaverde family).

Probably, Kuya Poling Derilo who is now in Infanta would know.

Edward and Dady: Probably, you would remember Pareng "Imven" was a medical assistant of Tata Mando Gurango at the Hospital of Anderson Battalion in Infanta (Masanga) as well as in Polillo Island during liberation (WWII).

During post liberation when Tata Mando resumed his private practice of medicine in Infanta, Pareng "Imven" continued to be his medical assistant helping in administering injections to patients of Tata Mando as well as in taking blood pressures.

He studied veterinary science availing of his veteran´s educational benefits. When he finished his studies, he became the "Veterinary Inspector" of Infanta, Quezon until his retirement. No hogs, carabaos, cattle could be butchered and sold in the Infanta public market without his prior inspection and approval.

He married a public school teacher Ms. Juliet Peñamora. They have children. One of them is Ms. Evelyn Peñaverde Araña, methinks she is my "inaanak sa binyag."

May Pareng Imven´s soul rest in peace. And I extend deepest condolence and prayers to his bereaved family.
