A Letter to the Crown of Spain " A letter of Thanksgiving"


























Your Majesty,

I may be not a pure spanish, As a Dela Pena half of my blood is spanish,
I am greatful to King Philip II of Spain for sending the missionaries and your knights to govern to develop our country... Your occupation in our dear Philippines has contributed a lot in our custom and culture.
Thanks for the Dances and the education, the first missionaries Spain sent to govern La Isla Filipinas, has develop as into a nation, if not by those abusive officers that replace the first governor general of the Philippines, we would have been still under your crown... Anyway this will not matter anymore. I call Spain mother, for she is the first to embrace us and cloth us, gave us dignity, and teaches us to be brave and to fight for our right.

I as a Dela Pena will value my Spanish heritage from our forefathers. May the Dela Pena of the world will remain a Knight to you, your majesty.

Whoever that King who gave us the honor to have the ancient crest of the Dela Pena knighthood,
muchos grastias.... We will value this title in other ways we can.

HAIL SPAIN! A Million thanks for our culture and our Catholic Religion..

Sincerly

H.m. Jeffrey "CERIEL the first" Dela Pena Lumbay
Sovereign Majesty of Dela Pena Foundation
