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. |
