Uko or Carmen is the second daughter of Alejandro and Ramona. She lives in Sydney,
Australia and cooks just as masterfully as her mother, Tita Moning. Her husband,
Uncle Cal is a whiz on the Macintosh.
Valerie and Andrew
Ayesa
Andrew is the eldest grandchild. He grew up in Sydney, Australia and later moved to Perth. He married the beautiful Valerie Findlay in September 2001 in Margaret River, West Australia. The entire family flew “down under” to see the first grandchild married. Now living in Perth, they are hugely successful. Andrew is an esteemed optometrist and drives around in a Porsche. Valerie and Andrew live in a great house and have two boys, Brendan and Cameron.

Cameron Ayesa
And then they were two. Brendan has a little baby brother named Cameron.
Miggy and Simmy Ayesa ( Miguel Ayesa and Simone De la Rue)
Every family has a superstar and Miguel is ours. By marrying his equally famous wife, Simone de la Rue last September in Sydney, they added “star” power to the Legarda clan. They now live and work in London with their new puppy Powder. Miguel is now in L.A competing for the position of lead singer in the band INXS on the reality show “Rockstar INXS”. Simmy and the Family know he will make us all very proud.

Ramil Lorenzo Mojica
Born in June, Ramil is the fourth boy born to the Legarda 4 th generation.
Alex Legarda
Currently in Medical School, Alex will soon be the first doctor in the third generation of Legardas. He breaks the spell that seemed to hang over the third generation that seemed bent on being exotic dancers and opening restaurants instead of practicing medicine like their parents and grandfather.
Tessa Legarda
Graduating this year with a Degree in Industrial Economics, Tessa is already an active part of La Cocina de Tita Moning and works during our major and minor functions. She is by far the tallest girl in the family and has a great future in public relations with the guests at "La Cocina de Tita Moning".
THE NEW YORK CONNECTION
Tita Ching and Tito Ramon Legarda
Major investors in La Cocina
de Tita Moning and
Marketing Managers.
Tito Ramon is the youngest son of
Don Alejandro
and Dona Ramona. He grew up in the Legarda
house but migrated to New York in the 1970s
where he continued his
medical practice. He and his wife Tita Ching produce shows in New York for
Filipino Artists. However, even from New York,
Tita Ching remains our top sales woman, she
can sell "La Cocina de Tita Moning" better
than anyone in Manila.
Denise and Jimmy Gallagher
My beautiful cousin Denise Legarda
married Jimmy Gallagher in New York in April 2002.
Their anniversary was Valentines Day, and he proposed
on that same day. The wedding was a fairy tale.
Aldo Legarda
Possibly the most handsome of
the "Legarda boys". He now
works for Coca Cola , but he's got a career
going as a D.J. and as a master bar tender too.
