When I was young, I thought the Fiel Clan here in Davao are the only Fiel living in this wide, wide world: I knew my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my cousins, as well as my third degree cousins. I took pride that the Fiel Clan especially here in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur are well-known (some are into politics) and above the conventional standards (mestizos and mestizas), not to mention,owners of hectares of lands.
Then, some Fiel from Pagadian visited us once in a while. My lolo told me that they are also my cousins. More interesting still was that event when we had our annual reunion in Ynciertos Beach, Digos City. A man in his 50's joined us all the way from Leyte, and he was surprised to find out that the Fiel clan in Davao were indeed his relatives.
Fast-track. 2008: When I created the Fiel Clan Blog last May 2008, I found out that there are so many Fiel scattered all over the Philippines!!!
When Friendster was bogged down last December 2008 and I activated my facebook account, I was also surprised to meet many Fiel from the US, and all of them have Pinoy connections!!!
This post will address the Fiel Clan phenomenon...
SOON....
