SEVERINO M. PLAMENCO was born in Pulilan, Bulacan on January 7, 1909. He was the eldest of three children
of Francisco Plamenco of Pulilan and Dionisia Martin of Malolos.
Tatay finished his secondary education from Bulacan High School as valedictorian of class 1921. He enrolled in the
University of the Philippines for his college education and in 1926, he graduated from UP with a degree in Civil Engineering.
Right after college, he joined the government service. Before the war, he was assigned as Project Engineer in Sevilla,
Bohol. It was here that he met Cecilia, daughter of the then Sevilla, Bohol Mayor, Paciano Cabagnot and Marcela Jambo.
Their union was blessed with five children, Fe, Oscar, Jose Avelino, Ma. Raidis, and Ma. Luisa. Oscar, unfortunately,
died when still a child.
After the war, Tatay continued to work for the government occupying different positions in the Department of Public Works
and Highways. He retired from government service in 1969.
Tatay and Nanay moved to the US in 1972 to join the family of Fe. It was in Hawaii, on April 17, 1987 where he died
after a lingering illness.
Tatay was an example of a perfect husband. He and Nanay were inseparable. They shared the same interests: cooking, sewing,
caring for the children, the same pastimes, and etc.
He was a loving father. When Fe graduated from high school, he gave up the chance to be promoted to higher field
positions and instead asked to be transferred to desk jobs in the Manila office of the Department just so the family would
be together.
