“Sakada Soldier (musician)” meets his first grandchild
Our First Grandchild
Sakada Soldier Pedro Rumbaoa and his wife, Feliza, play with their first grandchild Ferdinand R. Pena in their home, in January 1951.
The “Sakada Soldiers” were unique: one, they did not work in the sugar or pineapple fields of Hawaii; two, they were recruited directly by the US Army in the Philippines, and later sent to Hawaii as; three, musicians, cooks, porters or maintenance personnel. Stationed at Schofield Barracks in Wahiawa, these 100 families or so, bore surnames such as Jacang, Aguda, Udasco, Odasco, Villanueva, Soriano, Bejasa, Rumbaoa, Ducosin, and Josue. Small world; many of their descendants have ancestors who were once neighbors to each other.
