Introduction:
When I visited Bo. Yumbing, Mambajao, Camiguin in July 18-20, 2009, I was amazed to know that there is a community of Cloma living close to each other. During the interview with members of the clan, I was also intrigued because of the similarity of the names of which when I calculated the ages and years, I realized that the similarities of names does not mean the same person found in other clan in other place. So, please be open and let’s just take this as a fact of life that indeed there must be something that needs further investigation.

Of all the siblings of Tomas and Eusebia, REGINO SANTA CLOMA who is now 92 years old (born sometime 1917) is the only living but is already being taken cared by a private nurse. A sketchy story that I gathered during my trip, the TOMAS CLOMA of Camiguin is a fisherman by profession. And because of the heat that is generated by the petromax lamps they use at night, Tomas’ right side of face got partial burn which was thought of initially as “leprosy”. Tomas went to Manila for treatment at the Manila Sanitarium and when he was healed, story claimed that Tomas took another family in Manila. This need to be confirmed by checking with the records of Manila Sanitarium. Will have to do this later.
Another of their stories about sometime in the 1950’s, there was a boat that arrived in the shores of Bo. Yumbing and its crew were looking for Cloma clan members supposedly to be brought to Palawan. There were few who went with the boat as many went up to the mountains afraid to go. This story was also mentioned in the book written by Abueva. Ir’s a correlation.
Another story has it that there are “CLIMA” surnames in Camiguin. As per account of Dioscora “Cora” Cloma, while she was riding a jeep, she was wearing a shirt with CLOMA print on it. Someone seated next to her suddenly talked to her and told her that their surname is CLIMA but it was originally CLOMA but was changed during the Japanese occupation of the island in 1940″s. Someone who is a Lieutenent in the guerilla was named CLOMA and the Japanese were fiecely looking for him. Hence they changed their surname to CLIMA just to evade the Japanese. Until now they are still carrying the surname as they were not able to changed it anymore after the war.
There is more to learn from the people in Camiguin and I hope to visit them again and talk to Regino, hopefully he will still be alive in the next couple of months. There is another clan in another barangay in Mambajao that is not directly related to the clan in Bo. Yumbing. This need to be investigated also when I visit Camiguin soon.
The Cloma clan in Camiguin will have a reunion next year schedule in May 1, 2010.
Thanks to Estela Cloma, who is my contact from the Facebook account.

Hello po, andami plang Cloma… Mostly di ko pa kilala..
Gentlemen, I am not sure if I am related to you but it looks like..My grandmother, Loreta CLoma Paquiding hailed from Mambajao, camiquin. She is a daugther of Severo Cloma, brother of Tomas Cloma who owns the PMI (Philippines Maritime Institute) and founder of the Spratly Islands. I am not sure if we are talking of the same Tomas Cloma because this Tomas that I know have sons- and daughters-in-law who are foreigners (mostly European). But it looks again like somewhere in the genealogy, we are related. The names and places, I have heard once from my grandparents. I have not been to Camiguin but I am just close by. I would love to drop by in your reunion and “re-root”. Just keep me posted. Thanks.
Hello Ma. Elena,
Thanks for dropping by the site. We need inputs just like what you sent to clear some things. You see what you mentioned is somewhat did not correlate with what i have already researched and what has been published about the life of Tomas Cloma (the PMI man). There seems to be a disconnect and incomplete data and unclear facts about the Tomas Cloma who was named in the Camiguin clan. There is an age difference as well as there are so many sons and daughters of the Camiguin-Tomas compared to the PMI-Tomas. I really would like to ask from you more data like names and if you can also include birthdays of the clan members from your side then it will really help me with this project. Please find me in Facebook and there send me direct messages. Thanks and God bless!
Nerio Cloma
