About this episode
Hola, Spanish Loops family!
This week, we bring you an incredible journey of heritage, resilience, and rediscovery.
Meet Maricar Donato, a proud descendant of Salvador Rivero, a Spanish man from Málaga who set sail in the late 1800s, seeking a better future in the Philippines.
There, he built a life, fell in love, and started a family—one whose branches have since spread across the world, from the Philippines to the USA.
Join us, as we sit down with Maricar to uncover her family's fascinating history.
How did the Donato family keep their Spanish roots alive for five generations? What traditions remain strong, and how does she and her family embrace her identity today?
From culinary heritage to language, this conversation is a heart warming tribute to the power of ancestry and connection.
Tune in for an inspiring episode filled with history, culture, and personal discovery.
