lolo turns 100 on 10.10.10
October 10, 2010 is a particularly special day for Francisco Manguera. Born in Boac, Marinduque on October 10, 1910, "Lolo Kiko" is turning 100 this Sunday.
He has seven children, more than 20 grandchildren, more than 50 great grandchildren, and just this year, two great-great grandchildren.
"Malakas na malakas pa siya. Makikita mo siya, nakahawak sa bakod, stretching ng kanyang braso," said Romeo Magcamit, Lolo Kiko's son-in-law, who lives next door in Boac town.
"Nakakapagtaka nga. Minsan tinatanong namin baka siya'y may anting-anting," Magcamit said in a telephone interview with GMANews.TV.
Answering our queries through his son-in-law, Lolo Kiko shrugs off the speculation, saying his only secret to a long and healthy life is simply "wastong pagkain."
He’s a bit hard of hearing and has had cataract surgery, but otherwise he's in tiptop shape and still exercises daily.
"Huwag magbibisyo. Nasisira ang kinabukasan dahil sa bisyo," advises Lolo Kiko.
He admits that he used to smoke cigarettes and indulge in the occasional bottle or two of beer, but now, Lolo Kiko's only vice is coffee. He sips a cup every morning with two pieces of pan de sal at the store across his house owned by one of his children. When he returns home, he sits down to a breakfast of rice and fish. He rarely eats meat, and when he does, he removes the fat.
