Casiano V. Causin - Married to Luz Arriaga Calvo, a daughter of an officer "Bonifacio Calvo", who belonged to the Spanish Royal Army and who was the military Governor of Burias Island (near the Bondoc Peninsula and also near Masbate and Sorsogon).

From history documentation on the Internet:

While studying at a convent school in Manila, the two Causin sisters regularly received a visit from their brother Casiano. In one of those visits, he came upon the loveliest girl he ever saw in his life, who beguiled him. She was Luz Calvo, a Spanish mestiza, who was in the same school as an agraciada (local term for working student). It is possible that part of her job was to serve the paying colegialas. It must be remembered that at that time, an impeccable lineage or pedigree was essential to marry into wealth. Luz was undoubtedly poor and perhaps even an illegitimate child of some Spaniard. By the farthest stretch of the imagination, she could not be allowed to form part of the wealthy Causin family through their prized son. But the unexpected happened. Casiano fell in love. He married Luz “contra el viente y marea” (against all odds). When nothing could stop the marriage, his siblings were said to have remarked with disgust: “bright in the head, but an utter fool in the heart”. Casiano brought his bride to Barili where they lived in a house located in another part of the town.
