                    [Summary] => A saga or an epic could be written about the Gordons of Olongapo but for now, their story will be extremely condensed.  In mid-year, they celebrated at the PICC the 84th birthday anniversary of their matriarch Amelia Juico Gordon.  What follows comes mostly from the testimony of guests.


Amelia is the widow of James Gordon, the first mayor elected by the new municipality of Olongapo in 1959 shortly after he had strenuously campaigned for its independence from the American Naval Reservation. Forthwith, he became the first mayor of the city of Olongapo in 1965.
