My great grandfather (my mother's side) was from Guangzhou, China. He was 100% Pure Han Chinese.

His Chinese name was Tan Ngai ; he arrived to the Philippines by way of Sulu then to Cebu in 1909. He arrived to the Philippines with his brother (we do not know his name); his brother stayed in Cebu, while Lolo migrated to the town of Valencia in Bohol.

His Filipino name was: Mariano Tan. He eventually married my great grandmother, Gabina Ignalan (half Castillian Spanish, half Filipina).
They had 4 children: Fortunata Tan (my grandmother), Cecilio Tan (my grand uncle), Balbina Tan (my grand aunt) and Juliano Tan (my grand uncle).

Thank You. I also found out that I have relatives in Cebu, and many more in Guangzhou and Fuzhou, China.

Interesting how genealogy works out.

Hi Dong Lorenz!

My paternal grandfather was Tan Guan Sing (aka Tan Tek Liong) ... ambot ngano these names ... I dont have specific info about how he landed diri sa Bohol.  He was based in Guindulman, Bohol.  His Filipino name was Eufrosino (Singa) Tan.  He married my paternal grandmother Teofista Jayoma Amora.

I am very unfortunate not have any details as specific as yours.  But from what little I have heard my Lolo maintained books of accounts for some of the Chinese community in Bohol, as well as served as a "letter writer" for some of the Chinese in Bohol who were not literate.  Ang alam ko, he was from Amoy, China. 

He used to also trade copra until his death in 1954?

My father has a half brother, Tan Ho Chuan (Filipino name:  Juan Tan) but he is now on his early stage of second childhood.  So it is malabo to get details from him ...

I wished though, that I had the opportunity of knowing my Chinese granddad (and his Chinese family), as even here in the UK I am more often mistaken, and described by both the British and some Filipinos as "Chinese"!!!

Last year, I even went to the extent of accepting an assignment to teach English in China, in my desire to learn Mandarin ... my first step to my quest of locating my Chinese grandfather's "links"!

Again from what little I know ... he has some distant relatives in Jagna, Cebu and possibly Ormoc.  Maybe when I retire I will spend some of my remaining days looking for these "relatives" ...

I went back to Bohol this summer and my uncle Romeo showed me a picture of my Lolo Mariano when he was younger (at age 21) which was taken in 1903 when he was still in China. These were government papers. He left China by way of Macao, China, and entered the Philippines via the port in Sulu (Tawi Tawi) , which was common for most Chinese immigrants to the Philippines. Manila being quite hostile to Chinese immigrants at the time.

The writings were in Chinese caligraphy, and my uncle translated it for me (my uncle can read and speak chinese).

My lolo's full name was: Tan Ngai He. He was born and raised in a village in the rural Guangzhou, CHINA. I found out that the surname TAN is an ancient Chinese surname, which is kin to the TANG. The TANG Dynasty of China was a powerful golden dynasty that ruled from the south of China. In actuality, the original PURE HAN chinese ethnic group are from the south. The Cantonese/ Hokkien languages are original chinese languages. Mandarin being only a northern dialect and more influenced by mongol/uigurs of the north.

During the late 19th century and very early 20th century, there was a massive Chinese diaspora to the Philippines; considering that the Chinese Qing Dynasty was collapsing at the time. China was very poor; the people were desperate to find a new life. Many of them found their future in the Philippines--which at the time was rather hostile to Chinese immigrants.

My lola Nating told me how when she was still a child, the ethnic filipinos would taunt the chinese and the chinese-filipinos. It was hard kono. But it is interesting how very successful they were, economically. Again, the Confucian work ethic was retained by the chinese immigrants; still is to this day.

My Lolo Mariano had a brother who became a consul to China ; was based in Cebu. THo he had relatives too that were in Bohol. It could be a strong possibility that your lolo and my lolo were related. Considering the TAN CLAN comes from the same source. GUANGZHOU, CHINA.

The TAN surname is thousands of years old. It traces back to our ancestry and relations to the TANG DYNASTY, IMPERIAL CHINA.

Hi once again!

Very interesting!

My Uncle Chuan, as I have in my previous posts, is still alive.  But very unfortunately, he refused to answer any questions I had about the family.  My Lolo Singa came with Uncle Chuan to the Philippines when Uncle Chuan was just 6 years old.

Uncle Chuan although very bright was not even able to talk the CPA board exams because at that time he still held a Chinese passport.  It was not until he was in his late fifties when he finally got naturalized. Maybe that explains his reticence to pass any form of info!

My granddad, besides making a living as a "Bookkeeper", was a "letter-writer" for some Chinese (when sending letters back to their families in China) and was also into sari-sari store and copra-buying operations.

Do you know if we coud check some details about my Lolo via the Statistics Office, or perhaps the Census?

Thanks, once again!

Annabelle

hehehe good to see that your Uncle Chuan is still alive! I have a picture of my Lolo that I photocopied , however, it is back home in New Jersey. I will have it and post it here someday.

As for details, im sure you can go to the statistics office, definitely in the census office. The papers we have were stamped in Sulu; our lolo's port of entry!

~~

My lolo had 4 Children:

1. Fortunata Tan (my maternal grandmother)
2. Ceciliano Tan (my maternal grand-uncle)
3. Balbina Tan (my maternal grand-aunt)
4. Juliano Tan

~~

Lolo Mariano took his wife, my great-Lola (Gabina Ingnalan Tan), as well as his 4 children with him to visit CHINA multiple times. They lived there for an extended time, 4-5 years. They returned back home to Bohol only because my lola Gabina was tired of China. Homesick. My Lolo Mariano then returned back with her and their 4 children.

Their eldest son, Ceciliano, went to college in China for Accountancy. He died in China (they say due to kidney failure), im guessing he probably had some kind of nephritic/nephrotic syndrome. \
---

If you know where your lolo's port of entry was, i would suggest to go to the statistics office. that would be the best place to trace information regarding their point of origin.

ask your lolo chuan where they came from. what province of china.

additionally, what language did they speak? (cantonese? hokkien? mandarin? )

Hi,


When I went home, I was able to take a scan copy of my Lolo Mariano's port of entry documents. He entered Jolo in 1903, and the paper listed that he was born in GUANGZHOU, EMPIRE OF CHINA in 1881. This means that Lolo arrived in the Philippines when he was about 22 years old. This picture of him was when he was 22 years of age. He arrived with his brother, Tan Yu Fang, who was older than him.

My mother told me that when my LOLA (the late Mrs. Fortunata Tan-Salvo) was born, she went with her father (My Lolo Mariano ; great-grandfather) her mother, and her 3 siblings back to GUANGZHOU , CHINA in the late 1920s. They lived there for 4-5 years. They then returned back to BOHOL, by request of my great-grandmother. My LOLO acquiesced to the request.

A good friend of mine, the former mayor of Valencia (and a good friend of my family's in Valencia, Bohol), Dr. Plenio Lim, told me that when my Lola arrived back to Bohol back in the early 1930s, she could not speak Bisaya. The only language that she spoke was CANTONESE and MANDARIN and also understood HOKKIEN. In my childhood memories, my lola used to bargain with Chinese vendors in Cebu and Bohol. She would get discounts, of course, as is the Chinese custom. Discounts for fellow Inchiks. hehehehe!

----

My Lolo Mariano was a Chinese national and never relinquished his Chinese Citizenship. He was born when the IMPERIAL QING DYNASTY of China was still in power. Imperial China.

It is deep for me to know this. Because I am not only Bolanon, Leyteno, but also have an ancient side in my blood that hails from CHINA. That , in itself, is a whole chapter.

Good Luck in your search. I hope i was of help!!

---

In honor of my CHINESE lolo, i'll say something in CANTONESE: Lei Hao Ma!!! :)

A little more about the TAN.

Chinese of the TAN surname are from Southern China. The TAN comes from the ancient Chinese Dynasty that was situated in southern China, the TANG DYNASTY.

There was a massive diaspora of Chinese from Southern China to South East Asia because of the situation in China back in the 19th century. China was being colonized by western powers, and the Chinese were looking for greener pastures to colonize. The Philippines being one.

-----

The TAN hail from the ancient Chinese region of GUANGZHOU. This is home to Macao and Hongkong.

I had a great-grand uncle who worked in Guindulman and also in Jagna. He was a businessman like my great- grand father, Mr. Mariano Tan [Chinese Name: Tan Ngai He].

Mr. Rald, I'm interested to inquire if the Tan family in Guindulman are related to my great-grand father. As far as I know, from what my grand aunt [Mrs. Balbina Tan-Salingay] told me was that Lolo Mariano [my Chinese great grandfather] arrived to Bohol with a brother. Lolo used to do business throughout Bohol but consolidated his activities in Valencia, Jagna, Garcia, Dimiao. Whereas his other brother did business further north.

It would be cool to meet up with some of the Tan Family members in South Eastern Bohol to see where their ancestors came from. Perhaps one can even establish geneology tracers with them.

Thanks!

Hi Sir Rald,

Kamusta and regards to your daughter! Ug mo uli ko sa Pinas, mo stop by ko sa ijang office sa Quezon City ha. Mag schedule ko og dental exam. :)

I am finishing up the requirements of my dual M.D-Ph.D program, Sir Rald.

I will try to access the Catholic Church's registry documents the next time that I am in Philippines. I did not even think to look at that as a source for information, a shame really.

Next time, Sir Rald, we should meet up. Sayang wala ta ka meet up sa last year. If you were in Guindulman last summer, then you probably saw me driving around your beautiful town. I frequented Guindulman last year. Duol duol ra man gud sa Valencia ;)


Regards!

Taas kono to si Lolo Mariano. My Lola Babing (Mrs. Balbina Tan- Salingay; my grand aunt) told me that Lolo Mariano was over 6 foot kono.

He was the one that carried the bell in Valencia's bell tower; all by himself. Isug kono to sija sa una.

Luoy pood si Lolo kai he had to  leave China for Philippines kai sa una, very poor daw kaayo ang Chinese didto sa ilahang bayan.

It saddens me to think that Lolo had to say good bye to his mother and father because of the desperate times.

I can only imagine how my great-great grand mother and my great great grand father looked like...

Re: Tan Ancestry (My Guindulman Connection)
« Reply #23 on: February 22, 2012, 12:23:04 PM »
I'm very glad to come across postings re the origins of the Tan family in Bohol as my greatgrandfather was one of the Tan  "originals" in the province. Based on the narrative written by my late grandfather (Jorge Salise, Sr of Valencia...who married Concepcion Tan of Guindulman), my greatgrandfather was believed to have arrived in Bohol around the mid-1870s. His name is Tan Pico, later baptized as Ruperto Tan-Roa. He settled in Tabajan, Guindulman where the folks at the time called him Insik Perto. It looks like my Oyong Perto had first come and then left the Philippines another time to fetch his brothers and cousins. These Tan relations had scattered to parts of Southern Leyte, different towns in Bohol, and as far as Jolo. In fact, it was a relative from Jolo who convinced my Oyong to return to China...which he finally did sometime 1948, on the eve of the Communist takeover in 1949.

Oyong Perto was a small-time gentleman farmer in Guindulman who later sold all his properties after the war...in order to pay for his steerage accommodation when he travelled back to China for the last time. Oyong was married to another Guindulman native, Rufina Basa Bernaldez, whose own roots, particularly on the Basa and Bernaldez side, I am also trying to trace. My Oyang Rufina's mother was Lorenza Basa who was married to Francisco Bernaldez. I am quite intrigued about my Basa origins because Lorenza Basa's father was named Jose Basa and according to my Lolo Jorge Jose Basa was originally from Cavite and was directly related to Jose Ma. Basa, the respected patriot from the said province who figured very prominently in the Propaganda Movement in the latter part of the Spanish administration of the country.

Going back to my Tan relations. When Oyong went back to China in 1948 he was accompanied by my mother's first cousin, Arsenio Roa, who was known to the older folks in Jagna as Arsing or Arce Roa, a very good-looking man who once figured in some Cebuano films in the 1950s.  The family used to own a small carenderia at the Jagna Pier called Roa's Store ( I think). Oyong Perto had a cousin...a female who was called Shoga (or something like that). I remember seeing her for the first and only time when I was child in the late 1960s. Shoga wore a gray cheongsam and had really small but stubby feet --pak-kha. Shoga was married to another Chinese in Jagna by the name of A-be Uy.

We never heard from our Oyong after he left the Philippines in 1948.  It is unfortunate that my Uncle Arsing never kept records or told older family members as to which village in Guangzhou he settled back in.

It would certainly be nice to hear from you, guys, in case we are related one way or the other because of our common Tan ancestry. Oyong and Oyang had 7 daughters and only 1 son. That is why very, very few in my family carried the Tan family name. The only Tan relations left in Tabajan, Guindulman are Maning Tan Tubig and his brother Elpidio. Other relatives in the area are the children and grandchildren of my late uncle, Ondoy Tan Fortich.

I will be going home to the Philippines in May and hope to attend the Tabajan fiesta on May 3rd. It would be nice to meet our Tan relatives :)

I'm very glad to come across postings re the origins of the Tan family in Bohol as my greatgrandfather was one of the "originals" in the province. Based on the narrative written by my late grandfather (Jorge Salise, Sr of Valencia...who married Concepcion Tan of Guindulman), my greatgrandfather was believed to have arrived in Bohol around the mid-1870s. His name is Tan Pico, later baptized as Ruperto Tan-Roa. He settled in Tabajan, Guindulman. It looks like my Oyong Perto had first come and the left the Philippines to fetch his brothers and cousins. These Tan relations had scattered to parts of Southern Leyte, different towns in Bohol, and as far as Jolo. In fact, it was a relative from Jolo who convinced my Oyong to return to China...which he finally did sometime 1948, on the eve of the Communist takeover in 1949.

Oyong Perto was a small-time gentleman farmer in Guindulman who later sold all his properties after the war...in order to pay for his steerage accommodation when he travelled back to China for the last time. Oyong was married to another Guindulman native, Rufina Basa Bernaldez, whose own roots, particularly on the Basa and Bernaldez side, I am also trying to trace. My Oyang Rufina's mother was Lorenza Basa who was married to Francisco Bernaldez. I am quite intrigued about my Basa origins because Lorenza Basa's father was named Jose Basa and according to my Lolo Jorge Jose Basa was originally from Cavite and was directly related to Jose Ma. Basa, the respected patriot from the said province who figured very prominently in the Propaganda Movement in the latter part of the Spanish administration of the country.

Going back to my Tan relations. When Oyong went back to China in 1948 he was accompanied by my mother's first cousin, Arsenio Roa, who was known to the older folks in Jagna as Arsing or Arce Roa, a very good-looking man who once figured in some Cebuano films in the 1950s.  The family used to own a small carenderia at the Jagna Pier called Roa's Store ( I think). Oyong Perto had a cousin...a female who was called Shoga (or something like that). I remember seeing her for the first and only time when I was child in the late 1960s. Shoga wore a gray cheongsam and had really small but stubby feet --pak-kha. Shoga was married to another Chinese in Jagna by the name of A-be Uy.

Ricky,

It seems as if we are related verily much indeed. My great grandfather (father of my mother's mother) was Mr. Mariano Tan (Tan Ngai He), who was one of the ORIGNAL TANs who arrived in Bohol in 1903, and my other great-grandfather (the father of my mother's father) was a Mr. Ricardo Salise Sr. of Valencia.

Can you please post pictures of you ancestors? I would like to see their pictures. Seeing as your relatives are actually mine, also. :)

Ricky,

I remember being told by my Lola Babing that one time sa una, she talked to some relatives in Guindulman (she referred to them as relatives of papa mariano). I am wondering if she was referring to your Lola Conching. I also know that my late grandmother, Fortunata Tan-Salvo, was in open communication with relatives in Guindulman. Sadly, the trace and links ended when she passed away in July 1998.

Best Regards,
Lorenzo

Ricky,

I am planning to go back to Philippines in 2013. If you are going back then, please let us try to meet up to catch up and to record our words into paper so that we can trace our geneologies, which are distantly related. Regards.

I wish that my grandmother, the late Mrs. Fortunanta Tan-Salvo, was still alive because she would have been able to answer these questions that you have. And that I also have.

Thanks for your interest.

Best,
Lorenzo

The Origin of the Surname Tan

è­š



The surname came from the ancient State of Tan which was located in the western part of what is now Shandong Province. During the Spring and Autumn Period, this state was conquered by the neighbouring State of Qi. The court changed their surname to Tan in remembrance of their defeated homeland, and later prospered in Hunan Province.


For history lovers, the State of Tan existed  from 1046 till 684 BCE. Some 1000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, the state of Tan was already an existing power in Imperial China.


Before Rome began as a civilization, the State of Tan was already there.

Hi, Lorenzo (and other Tan relatives). Kumusta na?

I just realized that it has been some 13 years since I last joined the discussion on the Tan family in Bohol. Now I am prompted to re-start conversation because my family is organizing the first-ever reunion of the descendants of my greatgrandfather--my "Oyong"--Tan Peco (a.k.a. Ruperto Tan-Roa, nicknamed by the residents of Tabajan, Guindulman "Insik Perto"). We hope for this to happen sometime in the summer of 2017.

To get the ball rolling, my immediate family invited some cousins from the Tan side to join the family reunion of Tan-Salise (that is, the family of my Lola Conching Tan and Lolo Jorge Salise, Sr, the latter of Valencia, Bohol). This took place just last May at Badiang Resort (Valencia).

The last surviving child of Rufina Bernaldez and Tan Peco, Rosario "Sayong" Tan-Tubig (Tabajan, Guindulman), passed away around 3 years ago at the age of 93. My Oyong had 11 children, however, only one child was a boy--Bartolome Tan, Sr. My Lolo Bartolome had 4 children two of which were boys. Of the two boys, Bartolome, Jr. has only one child, a girl. The other Tan boy was became a priest who later died. Thus, the Tan family name did not prosper in my branch of the family because the 10 daughters all got married and acquired married names.

I reviewed some of our exchange above where you noted that your greatgrandpa Tan Ngai was a first cousin of my Oyong. This is accurate because my Lola Conching was close to his children (your grandma and grand uncles, etc.). She referred to them as "mga pag-umangkon ni Papa". In the family history written by my Lolo Jorge he mentioned that my Oyong was responsible in bringing a few cousins to the Philippines just before the turn of the 20th century and these cousins settled in Leyte, Bohol, Sulu. Again, to recap, it was a cousin from Sulu who encouraged my Oyong to return to China on the eve of the communist revolution in 1949.

Some of my cousins had been asking me to locate the village where our Oyong came from. I told them I have no knowledge of this but that I recall you posting a picture of Tan Ngai (Mariano Tan) here in Tubag Bohol. I told my cousins I would take a look at this again to look at the place of birth of your greatgrandpa. So now I can tell my cousins most likely our Oyong was also from Guangzhou.

Just as an aside---you mentioned that your mother is a granddaughter of Ricardo Salise, Sr.? That makes me your uncle because your mama would be my second degree cousin:)). We also just concluded the grand reunion of the Salise clan of Poblacion Sur, Valencia (to distinguish from the Salise group of Anas) where the descendants of Lolo Ricardo (younger brother of my own Lolo Jorge) were possibly the largest representation. Kinsa diay imong Mama? I thought I had met all of Lolo Ricardo's children (first cousins of my mother Clarita). Kabilaan ang atong relationship :))

Additional trivia to Tan relations. My Oyong had another cousin who died many years ago in Jagna where she settled. She was called "Shoga". That doesn't sound like a Chinese name to me...sounds more like a title (not sure....I know the Chinese are fond of calling people according to their rank/status based on Confucian practice). Shoga married another Chinese: A-be Uy, also of Jagna. They were childless but adopted 3 children, one of whom was my uncle, Arsenio Tan-Roa, who I mentioned in an earlier posting.

If you happen to be in the Philippines in the summer of 2017 please join our Tan family reunion. Do you still have folks left behind in Valencia? I should very much like to meet them.

Cheers,

Ricky

paging, lorenz! this is great. my own great grandpa is a tan from valencia. i suspect he's either the older brother or cousin of lorenz's great-great grandpa. my great grandpa's family name was changed to del bando, and that's how his descendants are now called.

one of my aunts married a salise. so there's a salise branch who are our relatives.

paging tita isles ! what's up !

You said you're also related to Salise? My maternal grandfather is a Salvo-Salise. In fact my great grandmother is the late Mrs. Dionisia T. Salise, who hailed from Barangay Anas. It seems to me that the Tan immigrants who settled present day Valencia occupied the areas of Sawang. My great grand father , the late Mariano Tan, settled in Sawang, Valencia. My ancestral home in Valencia is the very home that he had built the foundation upon.

PS. Good to see you still keeping this thread up to date. ::)

lorenz, we may not be related through the salise line (it could only be my aunt's descendants who are salise-related to you), but it looks like we must be related through the tan line. you must continue to call me tita thus. :)

Hehehe, its good to see clarification and some definitive relations. Then this would make you , officially, a distant uncle of mine. Hehe, its good to see that the blood of our Tan ancestors live on and are preserved through their descendants.

I asked my mother about this and searched for clarification about distant relatives of Lolo Mariano's, she would say to me that "kahibalo to si Mama ang anak sa igsoon ni Lolo Mariano". It was evident that while she was alive, My grandmother had an active relationship with her cousins.

I am glad that tho my Lola Nating is gone, i have somehow re-connected with distant relatives that she may have known of .

Blood does seek blood.


Regards.

A great source for reference in retracing the Tan / Chan / Chen surname. We are fortunate that the Tan / Chan / Chen surname is one of the largest surnames in China. So there is a lot of research in its collective origin, history, and current digression into Greater China and into Southeast Asia and Beyond.
