My Papa


My late father used to tell me..."Anak, marami kang makikilalang tao. Lahat pakisamahan mo. Kunin mo ang magandang asal nila, itapon mo ang masama.  Sundin mo lang ito, ayos ka na."

This is just one of the advices he gave when i was growing up. My Papa used to own a trucking company where he employs over 300 rough men as truck personnel.  Mga "barako" ika nga…  So you can assume that he is not the "emotional" type.

My dad may not be the emotional type, but he is pretty level headed when it comes to life's issues.  

He is always there for me to give good advices.

Even though I am the only boy in a family of seven children (yes, i live with 6 sisters), my alone time with my father had help me with my teen years.

We always watched the PBA, live, on a regular basis… and we are rooting for the same teams (Crispa, then Tanduay, then San Miguel).

I am so grateful with the time that we spent together.

I want to honor him for being a good father to all of us.  He was always a good provider, and a good listener.

I miss my Papa.

I just wish that my own kids had known him because he will definitely enjoy them.

Thank you Papa for raising me up to be me….
