The Love of Dolfo and Loleng

It is sweeter the second time around. And this is proven by couple Adolfo Rosales Restar and Lolita Gepty dela Cruz. They are “two mortals, two lives, two hearts joined together in love, united forever in marriage”.

In bright sunny morning on May 28, 1958 the young couple madly in love with each other before God, priests, relatives and friends committed themselves to each other that they, Adolfo and Lolita will forever and ever love each other in happiness or in sorrow, in health or in sickness, for richer or for poorer.

True to themselves, Dolfo and Loleng, after 50 years of happy and productive marriage were able to have eight (8) children and 17 grandchildren. Of the 8 children, Rolly went back to the Lord on his tender age.

Out of their small farm in Palale, Banga and diligently tending a grocery store in Banga Public Market, Dolfo and Loleng are able to provide decent lifestyle to themselves and to their children. They are all college graduates.

Josephine is married to Mavillo Villorente. They have five (5) children. Josephine works with the Comelec, Banga. Jocelyn has three (3) children with Samuel R. Derequito. Joyce has one child with Diosdado Sala who is a regional officer of Quedancor. Juliet has three children with Samuel Rigodon. Arnold married another Restar, Marilyn. They have one son. Then Joy chose another Restar, named Arnie. They have two daughters. Bimbeth has two children with Richard Nepomuceno.

To really assure each other for the remaining parts of their lives that they have endless love to each other, Dolfo and Loleng recommitted themselves and pledged again before God and man as they did on May 28, 1958, 50 years ago last May 28, 2008 at Parish of St. Joseph, Spouse of Virgin Mary, Banga, Aklan with the presence of their children, grand children, relatives, friends and guests who were entertained after the church ceremonies in a reception held in Teodosio’s Park, Poblacion, Banga, Aklan. /MP
