Looking for Lost Family

Hi, I'm interested in finding lost family members from Dumaguete. My mother-in-law was Antonina Alcancia Pino. She was born in 1929 and had 8 brother and sisters. Her parents were Delfin Pino and Segunda Nocete Pino, both from Dumaguete.
Antonina came to the US with her American husband in 1954. Since then, she never talked about her life in the Philippines. After World War II and the Japanese occupation, nothing was ever said about her life in the Philippines again. She died in 1976. We found out later from my father-in-law that Antonina had a half-Japanese child in the Philippines as a result of the occupation. The child was given to her mother, Segunda to raise. We also found out that all of her brothers and father were killed by the Japanese soldiers.
For years since her death, we have been trying to find our lost cousins, aunts, and uncles in the Philippines. Many of the birth records are not available or do not exist. I am looking for anyone in the Philippines (especially Dumaguete) that may have heard about Segunda Nocete, Delfin Pino, Antonina Pino, or her half-Japanese daughter.
If anyone has any information, please contact me. Thank you and God bless you all!

I know a young lady with the last name Pino. I will check and see if she is part of the family and get back in a day or two.

I just sent her a text to check out this post. Good luck on your search...

Outstanding. Great piece of detective work Ron. This epitomizes what a forum such as this one should be all about. Informative, helpful, and in this particular case a spectacular outcome.

 

Agreed, amazing story! Hope the family reunion is close!
Suggest to put such stories into a special "DI Hall of Fame" because not for the first time I read about someone finding relatives or smg like that.
