Josieline ( a.k.a Josie ) Pasaoa was barely out of her teens when she married the love of her life , Jerome Calubaquib . Josie is the daughter of Teofilo Pasaoa of Mangaldan and the late Trinidad Perez . The Pasaoas and Calubaquib families were then living in Guam . Josie and Jerome now reside in Tracy , CA . They have two children , Lowella , married to Jason Gross and are now based in Hawaii and Onel , a law student at San Jose State University .
Last March 9th , Jerome turned 50 years old and what better surprise could her loving better half , Josie , give ? The presence of his parents ( as arranged by Josie ), Alfreda and Romulo Calubaquib , who are residents of Guam . Jerome's parent's lent a special " flavor " on his very special day . The family had a small dinner on his actual birthday . However , Josie planned a bigger celebration on March 14th . Very close relatives and friends were invited to a sumptuous early dinner .
