Rosario Dimayuga y Mayo, although a late bloomer in the arts at the age of 70, found a great interest in interior design. Despite not having formal training in this discipline, she paved her way to becoming one of the top interior designers in the country and was even posthumously conferred the Lifetime Achievement Award for Interior Design. She was married to Valeriano Katigbak Luz. Their sons, Alfredo and Arturo ,both became famous in their chosen careers. Alfredo was an architect who designed the World Health Organization (WHO) building in Manila, the Magsaysay Center, and the Los Baños International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) complex while Arturo, the youngest in the family, was declared National Artist for Visual Arts in 1997.

Leonor Teresa Solís y Africa (1877-1936) was one of the pioneer social workers in the Philippines. She worked as a child-placing agent and commissioner for the Office of Public Welfare, the precursor of what is now the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). As a women’s rights advocate, she was a founding member of the first women’s club in the Philippines, the Asociación Feminista Filipina, which was a trailblazer in the promotion of social welfare, encouragement of women’s participation in public affairs, and women’s suffrage.
