The
Juan Luna Shrine in Badoc, Ilocos Norte, is a reconstruction of the
two-storey house in which the patriot and foremost Filipino painter was
born on October 24, 1857 (The original house burned down in 1861).On
September 22, 1892, Juan Luna killed perhaps one of my ascendants,
Juliana Gorricho Pardo de Tavera, the mother of Paz Pardo de Tavera
(Juan Luna's wife) , Both of them were killed by Juan Luna due to
extreme jealousy, a crime of passion they say. I am still doing my
research that Gorricho perhaps is a variation of my surname Gorecho.
Juliana gave the lamp to Jose Rizal where the paper of "Mi Ultimo Adios"
was found.
