God bless his soul.

I met him in his twilight years. He was pitiful. No home, no family, needed to beg for food. My mother used to give him morning coffee and bread.

Sad...

The top promoters and high Government politicians should be ashame of these situations. They fight for the Country, and the Country gives them back crap when they are in need for reasons God only knows.

sad..

Also few days ago in the Cebu daily news was told that he requested some help from Pacquiao and he got back nothing as it looks like. He wasted his money somehow, but no matter, they shouldnt be forgotten.
