Comments: Hi guys! It's me again, Ram. After browsing the web and pondering on the info written
on the clan book that has been with me for the past six (6) years, I finally have come up with a
theory explaining the existence of Pobletes in Cavite and their origin. First, the origin of the
Pobletes. The book says that the Pobletes may have come from, allegedly, the very first Poblete -
DON MIGUEL POBLETE. He is a Spanish/Mexican friar who came to the Philippines. He became Archbishop
of Manila and ordered the construction of the Manila Cathedral. He reached Cavite on July 22, 1653.
I may say that he may have been assigned in the church at Naic which, according to a Cavite website,
was the first Church built in Cavite. The second Church was built at Silang, Cavite. Because there
were only two churches, the friar might had the power over the whole province because of this,
considering the fact that Silang was then the biggest town in Cavite, which included almost 1/3 of
the whole province according to the website. since Silang and Naic were two of the oldest and
largest towns in Cavite, the leader that had the power over these towns probably had the power
over the whole province. In this case, Don Miguel Poblete, might became the leader of the Diocese
or at least a powerful church leader in the province which gave him the chance to sow his seeds.
Because of this, we may say that almost all of the Pobletes in Cavite are related. Beacause of the
fact that Silang before included the towns and cities of: Carmona , Amadeo and portions of Indang ,
General Trias , Tagaytay City , Binan, Laguna and Cabuyao, Laguna; we may conclude that Silang,
Cavite was one of the places where the Pobletes originated and the splitting of Silang to small
towns, municipalities and cities led to the scattering of the Pobletes all over Cavite.
I am also aware of having relatives from Naic, Kawit and Maragondon and this fact may support
this theory.
In conclusion, the Pobletes may have originated from the towns of Silang, Naic, Kawit and Maragondon
all in the province of Cavite. This conclusion matches that of the author of the clan book.
That's all. Whew! That was brain busting. Anyway, if you have more info to share please feel free
to e-mail me at: ramz@atenista.net. Guys, I really need your help for my research.
Thank you very much! GOD bless you always! Keep it cool!

Comments: Hello to every Poblete around the world, a long time ago i believed my last name was less common, when i asked to my granny about its history, she told me the Poblete last name was from a small village in France that was near Sn Sebastian, Spain. During Franco Governor of Spain was involved to the Spain Civil War many people had to move to another country and the majority of cases a lot of families broken their relationship between each member.
The fist last name wasn't Poblete it was Poulet, but when the citizens moved to Europe, mainly in Latin America this last name was performanced in order to be invisible for not be involved in Franco's judgement.
To our days very few people keep the original last name principally french citizens.
Thanks for readin' my message.
God bless to every Poblete.
