We are deeply saddened to learn about the passing Manong Mel. Please accept our most sincere condolences. May his beautiful memories bring comfort and strength to his loved ones.
I can't help but share my fondest memories of him. Since he lost his eyesight, each time I visited him, he recognized me immediately as soon as he heard my voice and he always enjoyed the food I brought which I specially cooked for him.
