The Quejada family is
one of the oldest Spanish colonial families in the Philippines and the
design of their armorial bearings reflects the armorial Quijada
tradition of 3 roses. The golden chalice represents their strong ties
to the Catholic Church; the two swords symbolise the strength of the
family during troubled times; the star represents the "Evening Star,"
also known as the planet Venus in the night sky after which the bearer
is named; the garb of wheat represents the family’s connections with
the land and the Pegasus, the winged mythical horse, represents a will
to survive.
The armiger was born April 24, 1970 in Cebu City, Philippines and was
baptized in Our Lady of Guadalupe. She was married August 7, 1992 to
Dr. Ian Day, MD, FRSA, FRSM, and they reside in Florida.
The armiger’s parents are Rodolfo de La Pena Quejada and Nelda Arandia
Rivera. |
