content: Jose Madridejo Galinato was born on December 18, 1902 in Guindulman, Bohol, Philippines. According to a passenger and crew list, he left Manila, Philippines, on June 16, 1923, aboard the S. S. President Pierce, destined for Honolulu, Hawai'i. The journey lasted twenty days and was part of a workforce recruited for the Hawaiian Sugar Plantation Company. After living and working for two years in Hawai'i, Galinato sailed to San Francisco, California, aboard the S. S. President Lincoln, arriving on September 8, 1926. By 1940, Galinato had settled in Stockton, California, likely engaging in agricultural work along the West Coast which was common among Filipino workers of that era. The 1940 United States census documented Galinato's employment as a field laborer, working sixty hours per week with a yearly income of four hundred and fifty dollars. Galinato resided at the Daguhoy Lodge on 203 East Hazelton Avenue, where he was a member of the Legionarios del Trabajo. On April 24, 1943, he registered for United States military service listing the Daguhoy Lodge as his residence; his next of kin as Albert Doblin, likely another Legionarios member; and his employer as S. S. Sanincente, Incorporated. During the 1950s and 1960s, according to his United States Petition for Naturalization, he worked as a seaman, traveling worldwide. Galinato died on December 9, 1983, at the age of eighty-one in Stockton, California.  His obituary mentioned that he was survived by brothers and sisters in the Philippines. Funeral services were conducted at Stockton's Chapel of the Palms and St. Georges Catholic Church, and he is buried at the San Joaquin Cemetery.
