""Defense Minister Gen. Gerardo Clemente Ricardo Vega"
Geeze, how many names does this guy need."

Spanish surnames are compound; the first is his father's surname, the second his mother's. So:
First name - Gerardo
Middle name - Clemente
Father's name - Ricardo
Mother's name - Vega

No problem if you know the system.
