CEBU CITY, Cebu, Philippines — A 150-year-old mystery surrounding the paternity of the late President Sergio Osmeña Sr. was finally answered. The family and relatives of the country's fourth President, who served from 1944 to 1946, have announced the results of a project aimed at identifying the father of 'Cebu's Grand Old Man.' Dr. Todd Lucero Sales, a renowned forensic genealogist, said Osmeña's father was not Don Pedro Lee Gotiaoco, a Cebu Chinese tycoon many presumed to have sired the son of 16-year-old Juana Osmeña, but Don Antonio Sanson, a merchant from another illustrious Cebuano family during the Spanish era.
