                <text>Pacifico “Frank” Cabegon Carrillo was born on September 6, 1909 in municipality of Binalonan in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. In 1928, Pacifico immigrated to the United States with his older brother Petronilo “Pete” Carrillo, and their cousins, Maximiliano “Max” and Felix Carrillo. They first landed in Hawai‘i where his cousin, Felix, disembarked and settled. &#13;
&#13;
When Pacifico, Petronilo, and Maximiliano arrived in the United States, they worked as migrant farm workers traveling across California to pick the seasonal harvest. Pacifico also worked as a cook in the labor camps. During his travels, he met Ethel Fouts, an Irish American woman. They had three children together: Francis, Pacifico “Maurice”, and James Alvin. Their relationship ended in 1944 and they agreed to separate the children. Ethel raised their daughter, Frances, while Pacifico raised their sons, Maurice and James. &#13;
&#13;
As a single father, Pacifico brought his sons along the crop circuit until it grew difficult to balance his parental and work responsibilities. Occasionally, he asked other Filipino workers and their families to be caretakers for his sons. While working, Pacifico met a woman whose nickname was Lucky and his sons stayed with her in Stockton until their relationship ended. &#13;
&#13;
In 1952, Pacifico met Louella Bessie Carter who he later married. She traveled alongside Pacifico living in the labor camps and became Maurice and James’s step-mother. She also took in many children from broken families including Tony Alquiza Jr., Sharron Carrancho, and Suzane Carrancho. They later settled in Pajaro, California, and integrated themselves into the Filipino community by participating in organizations such as the Caballeros De Dimas-Alang and the Filipino Community of Watsonville. In 1959, Louella and Pacifico separated. &#13;
&#13;
In 1976, Pacifico traveled to the Philippines and met Dominga Casabar who he later married. She traveled to California to live with him and start a family. They had two children, Jerilyn and John Carrillo. In 1980, they became U.S. citizens and sponsored many family members to live in the Philippines.&#13;
&#13;
 In 1989, Pacifico passed away at the age of 80. &#13;
&#13;
The Carrillo Family Collection was donated to Watsonville is in the Heart in 2021 by Pacifico's son, Maurice Carrillo. The collection contains two items, a photograph and an oral history interview with Maurice. In the interview, Maurice explains his childhood in Pajaro and his father's interracial relationships. He also discusses his own mixed-race identity and community organizing he participated in throughout his life. </text>
