From then on, it was the annual them of the Sauza clan.

The first las familias unidas was held at the house of Don Santiago Sauza and his wife Doña Ysabel Berenguer de Marquina-Sauza y Sumulong at their house at Barrio Santo Niño, pueblo de Mariquina (presently, Marikina City), Republic of the Philippines.
