The Martinez clan here has launched a nationwide campaign to draw up a grand homecoming slated on December 2008 after the executive committee, headed by Land Bank Makati executive Jethro Martinez, reported that a family reunion scheduled on January l2 at the Magic Club Warehouse in Barangay Malued has drawn enthusiastic response.

 The clan, which includes writers Jun and Dante Martinez Velasco, boasts of their late grandfather, Felix Martinez, and grandmother, Maria Pilar Montero-Martinez as having an unusual life and love story.

The father of Felix, Benito Martinez, a good friend of the Jose Rizal’s brother and Cayetano Montero Montero, father of Maria Pilar, bolted the Catholic Church because a church official was in love with Felix’s would-be bride. She was one of the loveliest girls in Dagupan at the time. 

Their children are Nieves Canlas, Juanita Rabago, Orlando (all deceased), Paz Llamas, Aurora Velasco, Guillermo, Alodea Dy, Celerina Dacumos and Estrella Singh.

 They have close to a hundred grand children and great grandchildren.
