Manalansan (Partial Result)

Dear Me,

Out of the blue, I thought of Googling my last name.

My last name is sort of unique compared to other people's last names. It is not very common such as that of Santos, Reyes, etc.

As far as I know, the surname Manalansan is particular only in the province of Pampanga. I can trace my father's roots from the town of Lubao which is also the hometown of the 2nd lady president of the Philippines. Although, now I know that they are scattered all over Pampanga and some of them had migrated elsewhere, locally or overseas.

Google yielded the following names as results to my name search:

Martin F. Manalansan IV - he is a sociocultural anthropologist teaching at the University of Illinois in the US. He wrote his first book, Global Divas: Filipino Gay Men in the Diaspora, a critical ethnography of Filipino gay immigrants living in New York City. He took his undergraduate degree in the University of the Philippines.

Felix Manalansan - He is a boxer, rated bantamweight. Based on my searches, he resides (or resided) in Mexico City, Pampanga. Web records show that he fought last December 2003 and lost in the bout. As featherweight, he boxed in February 2004 in Makati City.

B. Manalansan - Not much info but I found his/her name through a couple of reviews he/she made on certain electronic products sold at Amazon.com. I guess he/she is residing in California, USA.
