Last January 1, 2009, the Lotilla Family held its 34th family reunion at Kamea Beach resort in Dalipe, San Jose, Antique. It has been 34 years of unbroken tradition. Sponsor for this year's reunion was the family of the late Engr. and Mrs. Paulino A. Lotilla. The late Engr. Paulino A. Lotilla was a retired General Manager of the Antique Electric Cooperative (ANTECO). His wife is the late Bibiana Macuja Fenete Lotilla from Egaña, Sibalom. They have five sons and an only daughter namely Alfonso, Paulino Jr, Ma. Cristina (Duday), Mark, Francis and John Marie.
Alfonso and Ma. Cristina works in New York City, USA. While in New York, they organize a fund raising campaign among Lotilla relatives and friends to help those affected by Typhoon Frank last June 21, 2008. The money and donations they collected were bought relief goods for those badly affected by the flashflood brought by Typhoon Frank. These relief goods were distributed last December 25, 2008 to the affected families. The recipients of these gifts expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Lotilla Family for their generosity. Ma. Cristina (Auntie Duday to her nephews and nieces) came home to personally distribute the goods.
The reunion was last January 1, 2009 was filled with fun and memories. Alfonso (Tito Al to his nieces and nephews) prepared a video clip of old and new pictures of the family of the sponsors. It was enough to draw some moist in one's eyes as everybody have touched in one way or another by the life of the late Paulino A. Lotilla.
The Reunion was very successful as relatives from Luzon to Mindanao gathered together in unity.
