To the Queen of Heart of Spain

Your Majesty, Queen Sofia of Spain,

I salute you for your being true to your duty as Queen of Spain. I heard of your accomplishments, and your being a good christian Queen.

Your majesty, let me give you the title of SOFIA MADRE DE SPANIA (Sofia mother of Spain)

Thank you for helping the poor with your foundation.

I will pray to God that your reign with His majesty will be blessed and will make another era of Spanish golden years. I long since to visit Castile and Madrid Where the Dela Pena was before heard.
I still claim that even if I am now a filipino, Spain was once the ancestral origin of my Mother. SONIA DELA PENA Y LUMBAY daughter of the Late Patricio Dela Pena. I want to visit the Pena estate Where our ancient Dela Pena Family crest originated.

In my blood Still runs 1/3 of the Spanish blood. And The foundation I have started is a reparation from the abused done to the poor Filipino during the Philippines Spanish era by the Friars and some abusive leaders... I want them to feel that the reason for the Spanish occupation is to develop a nation, a nation of peace love and harmony to all Spanish and Filipinos in the 18th centuries. Our cries in those years was not heard in Spain due to the fact that Spain has a problem also in their government that time, So the abusive leaders took their chances of manipulating some poor filipinos, that made Dr. Jose Rizal wrote a book, hoping the crown of Spain will be able to read it.

As I read in your 1994 visit to the Philippines with His majesty, I wept bitterly and said: YOUR LATE YOUR MAJESTIES... YOUR LATE.

Hope your country will supervise us in bringing Philippines into a better nation... I believe that our goverment is still young.

Praying Always for you and the Spanish Goverment

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

Sovereign Majesty of Dela Pena Foundation

The suffering of the Sovereign Majesty Ceriel the first

The sovereign majesty Ceriel the first, suffers much upon seeing the sufferings of others, we sometimes saw tears in the sovereign head's face when he Ceriel can't do anything to help.

The love of this one and only Dela Pena, Lumbay towards others is so great, that the sovereign majesty made a visit on foot in a farthest remote barangay in Purakan, Linamon, Lanao Del Norte. We see this ruler as a down to earth person, embracing all those children, no matter how dirty they are and talking and eating with this poor orbanized families. The sovereign majesty has gathered all the pleas of these families in his heart and is hoping that this will reach the ears of the leaders of the UNITED NATIONS.

We see in this sovreign head to great humanitarian figures; the late Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcuta and the Late PRINCESS DIANA OF WHALES. The sovereign head loves the Gospel of Saint Matthew chapter 25 verse 41 and the sovereign majesty wants us all to refelect on this.
In him we see a true sovereign whose concern is his people, A mother and father to the poor and those who lost hope.

We hope that this foundation of the Great Dela Pena will grow and all the Dela Pena out there will branch out this foundation.

The sovereign Majesty Jeffrey Dela Pena Lumbay (CERIEL THE FIRST) dedicate this foundation first to God, the Roman Catholic Church, the crown of Spain and to all the people in the world.
The sovereign majesty hope and pray that this will challenge all leaders of the world to focus on feeding the nation, not building more concreate sturctue while the stomach of the majurity is in need of food.

As the sovereign majesty say: TO THOSE WHO HAVE MUCH IT'S TIME TO SHARE TO THOSE WHO HAVE NONE.... THEN YOU CAN SAY YOU LOVE JESUS CHRIST.....

The Dela Pena Foundation

The Dela Pena foundation is founded by the sovereign head Jeffrey Dela Pena Lumbay of Pagadian City, this is a humanitarian group that is a parliamentary monarchy group, the life of this foundation is the book ZOHAR.

This is a none profit group, that only survive thru the help of some Dela Pena and Pena Benefactors.

The Program of the Foundation are as follows:
1. Feeding the hungry families.
2. Gift giving in Prision
3. Hospital visitaion
4. Spreading the Divine Mercy message which is doing the deeds of Mercy.

Many times the Foundation suffered financial brake downs, so this moved the sovereign head to take caregiver class to study and work abroad to gather funds for the foundation.

Ruined ancient Castillo de la Peña.

Ardales is a typical ‘pueblo blanco’. As you round a bend in the road it suddenly appears before you as if from nowhere, sprawling spectacular and white against the craggy mountainside. Its steep hilly streets radiate down from a rocky outcrop which is crowned at the very top by a ruined castle, the ancient Castillo de la Peña.

Leaving the main road the bus climbs the narrow winding road up into Ardales, across a bridge over the wandering river Turón, and past the ‘Museum of History and Traditions of Ardales‘. Ardales has no Tourist Information Office, but as well as the fascinating exhibits on view, the museum staff are a mine of useful information and can answer any questions you may have about the surrounding area.
Having noticed on our way up an intriguing sign pointing to the Prehistoric Caves of Ardales, we asked for further information. Apparently, the caves are situated some 2km away from he village and can only be visited in a pre-arranged group, 4 days a week. These visits have to be booked in advance from the museum. The caves are 1.65km long and contain Palaeolithic artefacts (from the early stone-age), some of them dating from as long ago as 30,000 years!!
