Trinidad Hermenegildo Pardo de Tavera y Gorricho (April 13, 1857 – March 26, 1925) was a Filipino physician, historian and politician of Spanish and Portuguese descent. Trinidad, also known by his name T. H. Pardo de Tavera was known for his writings about different aspects of Philippine culture.
Trinidad was born on April 13, 1857 to Spanish lawyer and government official Félix Pardo de Tavera and Juliana Gorricho from a wealthy, illustrious Filipino family. The Pardos de Tavera had a long history. His father, Félix, descended from the Portuguese aristocratic family of Pardo from Tavira, Portugal. In late 1640s, the Pardos added the name de Tavera to affix their place of origin similar to Spanish noble customs. Among the notable members of the family was Juan Pardo de Tavera, who carried the title Marquis de Magahon and Juan VI Pardo de Tavera, the Archbishop of Toledo, Primate of Spain and Grand Inquisitor of Spain during the reign of Emperor Charles V (and I of Spain). In 1825, Trinidad's grandfather and Félix's father, Julián Pardo de Tavera, set sail for Manila shortly after marrying Spanish woman Juana María Gómez. Julián and Juana bore three children: Félix, Joaquín and Carmen.
The Pardos de Tavera lived in Cabildo St., Intramuros. Félix and Joaquín were sent to University of Santo Tomas where they both finished bachelor of laws. The brothers also worked for the advisory council of the governor-general. They married sisters, Juliana and Gertrudis Gorricho.
Trinidad's mother has its origins rooted from an Irishman named Joseph Doyle. Juliana Gorricho was the daughter of José Dámaso Gorricho, a wealthy landowner in Manila and Cavite and owner of country's largest money-lending company that time. José's father, Miguel Ignacio Gorricho, was a Spanish from Pamplona who became the governor of Capiz province. Juliana's mother, Ciriaca de los Santos, was a Filipino enterprising woman from Cavite who made their family fortune by selling hay to horses used by the Spanish cavalry.
