  • Was so named in honor of Eustaquio Gabuya who resided there with his wife Arcadia Cabreros, They have been survived with their children and grandchildren, linked to the Gabuya Clan and the Cabreros clan. Was formerly named Sitio Caimito as there was an abundance of Caimito trees in the area, of which most of which have been cut down to make way for residential houses and a school (USJR) (2010430 Jing Gabuya)
  • This is just awesome. I love the aerial view of the place. It can definitely can use more road access.
  • I was very very happy to find the "clangabuya.com". But very sad that Tinabal1 wrongly made some inputs. I had my childhood and college days in what you called sitio caimito and now called it Gabuya compound (thanks). I have remembered that I am among the many children who had climbed and gathered caimito fruits. There were caimitos we called "tapul";some were small and sweets,I think there were 7 to 10 caimitos during my childhood days. I remembered that we used to play with the caimito skins (after eating) and threw it to my cousins. Now for the corrections and to make things right.....My grandma "Arcadia Cabreros" was married to "Manuel Gabuya". An Eustaquio Cabaluna married two of my grandma's sister (of course one at a time, when one died after the other).So Eustaquio Cabaluna was not Eustaquio Gabuya.Hope that those who visit this site will note the corrections. Most of my relatives still lives there at present:aunts, cousins,brother and sister, niece and nephews. I will made mor inputs on the nice and happy place from time to time.
  • My place..i love this place.. :)
  • There is one calmeto (tapul) tree left in front of our house. It was planted by my father Marcelo Gabuya (one of Arcadia sons). That tree has seen the passing of many Gabuya clan members, and I hope it will stay there for the next 80 years.
