Cipriana Rosal

Cipriana Rosal, known as "Insi Piana", was born September 26, 189711, and died June 27, 19609.  Insi Piana had a large family with Sancho Basilgo, the son of Adriano Basilgo and Simplicia Soon, whom she evetually married.  Initially, Sancho married Agustina Caballero in 19103.  However, Agustina soon took up an affair with another man, which caused Sancho to send her home to her mother.  Thus when Sancho began courting Insi Piana, he was still legally married, much to the displeasure of her mother, Bonifacia Perez.  Regardless, they continued their relationship with the result that their first three children carry the name Rosal in the Civil Records.  Then, early in the 1920s, Insi Piana and Inco Sancho eloped, beginning their "married" life6.  Finally, on March 17, 19343, they had a formal church wedding.

Prior to their marriage, Inco Sancho lived in Manila and worked as the valet and personal cook of Montague Lord6.  Montague, a millionaire American, came to Manila on behalf of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association to recruit laborers for the Hawaiian plantations6.  After their elopement they lived in Mandaue, where Sancho operated a grocery store and Cipriana sold clothing6.
