"As I watched the remarkable performance of the current Jeopardy! champion Caleb Groen, I could not help but wonder whether he might have Filipino roots. Some viewers, including myself, noticed that his mother, briefly shown on the program, appeared to have features familiar to many Filipinos. However, after searching for reliable information, I found no confirmation that Caleb has Filipino ancestry. Until Caleb himself shares his family background, it would be unfair to make that claim. Nevertheless, his brilliance, humility, and poise make him a champion admired by viewers around the world, including this Filipino-American blogger."

Meanwhile, here's my posting on the four heritage houses in Iloilo City- Place of Birth on December 20, 1934.

As recognized in the Iloilo City Cultural Property Inventory, these heritage houses are invaluable cultural treasures worthy of preservation and appreciation for generations to come.
