Tomas Sena was born in 1900 in the beautiful province of Marinduque, Philippines. Tomas learned from his early years about hard work, perseverance, and family. Such values shaped him into what he eventually became. There in the heart of Marinduque, Tomas met the love of his life, Cresencia Adonis. With this, they built a life anchored and secured by love and commitment, adding nine great children to the family fold: Alberto, Belen, Cesar, Dominador, Emmanuel, Federico, Gil, and Ignacio. He, being a US veteran, fought against the Japanese Invaders in the Philippines. The bravery and sacrifices to save homeland and family are simply heroic.
