During the 'war years', we leaved in Nasugbu Batangas. Roxas & Company asked some of their employees who wanted to 'wait the war' in Nasugbu. So my father, designed in the heart of the town of Nasugbu a community of houses made out of bamboo. It was situated in front of the plaza, and within walking distance to the church. In the compound was a big old house, which was called the Casa Hacienda, where the Roxas brothers lived. The family of Don Antonio & Dona Maruja (de Mendezona0) and their two children lived, Pamen & Anton, and Eduardo still a bachelor lived there. And their brother Jose. I remember the big house with high concrete stairs, leading to a big wooden door. The house had wide narra planks for floors and between the rooms were open carved panels for ventilation.
