Due to the pronunciation of the Filipinos, who were familiar with the Spanish accent, Hatico was used around 1911, when his two sons went to Luzon to live with the Japanese community.
Through the years it was eventually changed to Jatico as the Spanish pronounce the ja- (ha) and -tiko was changed to (tico).
