Mestiza-looking Lola Lily was married to Salvador VillaFranca Palomata , a known haciendero in Negros Occidental. They have eight Children but only six survived. Lolo Badong died early when his six children were still young. Danilo, the eldest child, passed the Navy Recruitment and was able to go to the United States. Standing as Father and Big Brother to the family, he petitioned his Mama Lily, followed by Josefa, Edmundo and Marietta.Monroe(Nonoy), and Cecilia were left in the Philippines because Cecil was already married while Nonoy could not leave because of his broken arm. Mama Lily once said that it is better to have Cecil & Nonoy in the Philippines because she plans to return to the Country when the time is right. LOLA LILY died in Nabas, Aklan on October 08, 2000.
