How they are related

How this was researched

Current local officials: Rommel, Patrick, Rhett and Lian. Sonny’s Cabinet office is a national connection. Patrick’s uncle link is reported by Michael Bueza; his exact parentage is not drawn because stronger corroboration is still needed. Earlier officeholders are retained as historical relatives.

Documented family networks; not a complete government or barangay roster. National offices are distinct from local offices.
