I remember every week end sa noveleta pupunta sya kasama family nya tapos he will gather all his siblings para doon lahat kakain sa bahay, tapos magpapabili sya ng maraming pagkain. Tapos magpapamanicure sya kay Ate violy o kaya kay nene. Masaya kami noon parang walang problema kahit mahirap, pero his always there ayaw nya hanggat maaari na magkahiway hiway ang mga kapatid nya, Him and Apa is our protector, he love us so much wala syang hinde minahal sa amin. I remember when he was wearing his military Uniform he looks so sharp bagay na bagay sa kanya, And all of us is proud of him. He is strict but just ask what you want and he will try his best to get it for you. One more thing naalala ko dapat pag nakita ko sya kailangan hahalik ako sa kanya. Dahil magagalit sya pag wala sya kiss galing sa akin. I love you so much BOBOY sorry If I did'nt get a chance to see you for the past few years. I know you miss me so much. Again thank you for all the love and care that you given me, your my brother and my father to me.

I SALUTE YOU SIR!!!!
