It Runs in the Castro Family, An interview from Rolino Castro by Neil Bryan Castro


Rolino Castro was born in Makato, Aklan, Philippines and he is 61 years old. He came to America 9 months ago and he is now working as an engineer at the Serrano Hotel in San Francisco. He is the brother of my Dad, Nilo Castro. He came to America for the purpose of finding work. His story ,however, is unique because he came to america even though he is very old.
