Personal life
Fernandez was born on May 25, 1904, to former Lubao Mayor Eugenio Araneta Fernandez and Maria Montemayor.[4] He married Paz Padilla (daughter of Jose Padilla Sr.) in 1936. The couple had eight children, including Merle Fernandez (born 1939) and Rudy Fernandez (1952–2008).[5] Padilla committed suicide in Fernandez's home in 1957 due to postpartum depression, while one of his sons also committed suicide out of fear of being punished for his actions by Fernandez.[6][7]
