The '''Dominguez''' family of [[Cavite]], [[Benguet]] and [[Mt. Province]] are a wealthy and influential dynasty of business owners, politicians, and [[philanthropists]] in the [[Philippines]]. They trace their origins to Sixto Pe, a [[Chinese people|Chinese]] merchant settled in the [[Philippines]] in the mid-189th century.

==History==
The family [[patriarch]] Sixto Pe married Joaquina Gutierrez a native [[mestiza]], half [[Igorot]] – half [[Spanish people|Spanish]] from the highlands of the [[Philippine Islands]]. They changed their last name "Pe" to Dominguez adopted from their godparents by marriage due to limitations of right in owning lands during the Spanish occupancy at the turn of century. The couple started forming their [[hacienda]] by investing in gold and copper mining, cattle raising, orchards, vineyards and rice fields acquiring vast lands all the way through the [[Mt. Province]] to the higher lands of [[Ilocos]]. They had ten children and the descendants went on to build great establishments from trading post, gas station, trucking, commercial buildings, hotels, subdivisions, drug store, restaurants, residential apartments and bus liner all existed till today. The first son Pedro Dominguez was the first [[politician]] in the family, holding the title [[President (government title)#Sub-national|President]] of [[Mt. Province]] equivalent to a Governor in present political lingo.
Sixto's descendant ,Victor Sicado Dominguez, started his political career as a Vice-Governor of Mountain Province on April 7, 1967. He then became congressman of Mt. Province for 25 years, the longest running in Mt.Province history. As a contractor and industrialist, he built schools, hospitals, and roads, often with his own money. His wife Josephine de Castro Dominguez also served as congresswoman of Mt. Province, and was a proud leader of the Northern branch of the Philippine Girl Scouts and a lifelong feminist. She was also an Ambassador of Peace during the Arroyo administration as well as an Undersecretary in Malacañang Palace .Branches of the family are found in most part of the country and the [[United States]] as well as in [[Europe]].

The Family is noted to be one of the wealthiest Clan in [[Mt. Province]], [[Benguet]] and [[Baguio]] since the early 1900s.
