Aguila Clan Family Reunions - video




The Aguila Clan of San Jose Batangas in the Philippines has been holding reunions every weekend after the Easter of the year. It has served as a venue for getting together, checking out one another, helping and bonding as a family. Totalling to 1557 members spanning 7 generations, the clan through its reunions persists and continues to become a much awaited annual activity for the young once and the young ones.

The music fits the image content of this video. Performed by Carole King in Carnegie Hall in the early 70's the song entitled: Song of Long Ago figuratively narrates of the feeling experienced in reunions such as this. In this global world the Aguila Clan clearly and will continue to be a family serving as a "link to our past and the bridge to our future."
