Yatco/Lateo connection

Surnames: Yatco, Lateo
I have a group on Facebook called the Yatco/Lateo Connection which I welcome anyone with any history or is interested in finding their roots as I am. My 2nd great grandfather was Valentin Yatco. He changed his name sometime in the late 1800s to Lateo, sometime around the death of Jose Rizal, a Philippine national hero. The Yatco name was a very prominent and wealthy family in which most resided in Binan, Philippines. Unconfirmed reports say, Valentin was friends with Jose Rizal. I have also been told that Valentin had 2 brothers and there was a division of property, assets or land. I'm not certain. I am also not able to find the names of his parents and brothers or any other siblings and whether or not they changed their names as well before he relocated to Santa Cruz, Laguna, Philippines. There is so much to this story that I would love to try to fill the gaps with some truth. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
