Background
Rosario San Carlos Evidente was born on 7 October 1882 in Magdalena, Laguna, Philippines, the fourth child of Don Roman Bernardo Evidente and Doña Roberta Rato (San Carlos) Evidente. Rosario's mother died 6 months after she was born; her father afterwards remarried twice.
The Evidentes were one of the most prominent families in Magdalena; not only were they major landowners, but also leaders and professionals. Rosario's first cousin Maximo Evidente, a notary (notario publico), became municipal president of Magdalena. Other members of the Evidente family became a lawyer, engineer, pharmacist and church minister in the early twentieth century.
Adult Life
Around 1900, Rosario - who was also known by her nickname 'Chayong' - married Ananias Laico, the son of Don Luis Ong-Layco and Doña Maria Bernardo (Lucena) Ong-Layco of Magdalena. Ananias and Rosario were third cousins - they shared the same great-grandparents, Juan Bernardo and Vincenta De la Rosa (Ananias: his mother's mother's parents; Rosario: her father's mother's parents).
Ananias and Rosario Laico had 10 children, in the following order: Emilio (born year unknown), Natividad (b. year unknown), Jaime (b. 1903), Laura (b. 1905), Beatriz (b. 1907), Luz (b. 1908), Luis (b. 1910), Lydia (b. 1912), Cesar (b. 1914) and Ester (b. 1916).
The Laico family business was copra (coconut) farming, and like the Evidentes, the Laicos were major landowners in Magdalena. Copra was the principal crop in Laguna and brought considerable prosperity to the province in the early twentieth century.
Besides managing his family's estate, Ananias Laico served successively as a teacher, lawyer, Assemblyman in the Philippine House of Representatives and provincial sheriff of Laguna.
Death
Rosario (Evidente) Laico died on 14 July 1952 at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) in Manila. She went to the PGH, as part of her son Jaime's medical practice was located there. The cause of death listed on her death certificate was cardio-renal disease. Rosario was buried on 15 July 1952 in La Loma Cemetery in Manila, however her remains (along with her husband's) were later transferred to the Manila South Cemetery. Her husband Ananias predeceased her on 9 January 1939.
Favorite Things
Rosario's youngest daughter Ester recalled that her mother was fond of jewelry. By the time she died, Rosario owned 3 bilao (a large basket for holding rice) filled with pieces of jewelry, which were subsequently divided among her children.
Rosario's favorite foods, again according to Ester: rellenong manok, arroz valenciana, adobo sa gata, tinola and queso de bola.
Legacy
Of Rosario and Ananias' children, Jaime became a leading physician in the Philippines and the author of many medical papers published there as well as the United States.
In 1957, the Philippine Congress passed an Act changing the name of the Magdalena Elementary School to the Ananias Laico Memorial Elementary School, in honor of Rosario's husband.
