This is a major breakthrough in the family history of former Philippine President Sergio Osmeña! This is "one of the first times in Philippine history that a historical mystery has been solved using DNA testing." Watch this live on June 2, 2023 at 3 PM via Filipino Genealogy Channel! Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZmZyqV96tc

To commemorate the 145th birth anniversary of former Philippine President Sergio Osmeña, his family commissioned a DNA test to finally discover the identity of his father. As we all know, his paternity has always been shrouded in mystery and is a historical question that continues to linger. The results of the DNA test are in and they are conclusive. The Osmeña family would now like to share the results with the public. This is a momentous occasion because this is one of the first times in Philippine history that a historical mystery has been solved using DNA testing. More importantly, the revelation of Sergio Osmeña’s paternity will require a revision of how his biography is taught in schools or is written in history books, as most have identified the wrong person as his father.

In light of this, we would like to invite you to watch the official announcement of the identity of his true father on June 2, 2023. Here is the link: https://tinyurl.com/SergioOsmenaFather.
