Don Pepe

My Mother's Father.

My mother said that he was a smart,rich and a strict parent. My Grandfather was the top of his class, a mayor, a lawyer and one of the richest man in Pangasinan. I wished I have his wealth but the wealth is gone. Distributed to his Kasamahan a comprehensive land reform program of the Aquino administration.

I only knew him when I was 10 years old. I remembered when he took me to Rizal park and argued with everyone he encountered. The jeepney driver, the waiter and a parent of a kid.

He was half Spaniard and half Filipino.
