Title A name given to the resource Recio Family Collection Description An account of the resource Dioscoro "Coro" Respino Recio, Sr. was born in the municipality of Banga, in the region of Aklan, in the Philippines on August 15, 1904. At age fifteen, Dioscoro married and had two daughters. His first wife passed away due to complications during childbirth. On April 22, 1929, he traveled to the United States in search of work to financially support his family who remained in the Philippines. He worked as a farm laborer traveling up and down California’s Central Coast following the crop rotation before eventually settling in the Pajaro Valley. In 1967, Dioscoro met a woman named Sally Anne Dalisay. The two were eventually married, though the exact date of their meeting and their marriage is unknown. Sally Anne was born in Fresno County on August 20, 1944. She was legally blind. Her mother, Beatrice Maxeen Reed, migrated to California from Kansas with her family during the Dust Bowl. Her father, Jose Antaran Dalisay, was a Filipino manong who worked as a farm laborer in Fresno County. Beatrice had four other children: Joanne Antaran Del Carlo (b. 1943), Joe Belgua (b. 1948), Lonna Dalisay (b. 1949), and Donna Dalisay (b. 1949). Beatrice and Jose had a difficult marriage. At the age of five, Sally Anne and her sisters were relocated to an orphanage. While her sisters were adopted, Sally Anne remained at the orphanage into adulthood. Dioscoro and Sally Anne lived in a labor camp on Beach Road in Watsonville. Dioscoro worked as an irrigator at various farms in the Pajaro Valley. Sally Anne stayed at home and took care of their three children: Peter Dalisay Recio (b. 1966), Dioscoro “Roy” Respino Recio, Jr. (b. 1968), and Lynette Dalisay Recio (b. 1975). In 1972, the family moved from the rural labor camp into town. The family's move was facilitated by Rosita Tabasa—a prominent member of the Watsonville Filipino community and the owner of the popular Philippine Gardens Cafe—who assisted them in applying for low-income housing on Green Valley Road. The couple lived in Watsonville for the rest of their lives. Coro passed in January 2004, and Sally Anne passed in March 2018.
