This is the email of Nhing Z. Llanes from New Zealand 0n Jan 3, 2011. She is the great granddaughter of Saturnino Zabal.
hello everyone!
This is perhaps a nice start of the New Year for my family especially to my father and his siblings as we, as you may be aware of, had not known anybody or anyone from the Zabal clan except of course, our Lolo Ladislao's children. We are delighted to know, especially myself and my father, that the Zabals are one huge clan in Aklan. All these years we thought we are the only Zabal existing on earth as we never get to meet any relatives or hear anyone saying "we have the same family name, are we related?" 
Nevertheless, this was all explained by, shall we say, Tito Romy Zabal and Tito Gav Reloj, and the rest was history.
I am working on the Herminigildo Family Tree and will forward asap once all the details comes to hand.
Happy New Year to each and everyone and warm regards.
