(Eagle News)–Senator Grace Poe on Tuesday, Aug. 20, led her family and supporters in commemorating her father Fernando Poe Jr.’s 80th birth anniversary.
“Sumakabilang buhay na nga tayo, pero siguro kung siya nandito, alam ko uunahin niya talaga yung pinakanangangailangan,” the senator said in an interview.
She also recalled her father’s “simplicity.”
“Kaya kahit naman sa ano ginagawa namin sa trabaho namin, o sa pribadong pagsisikap, tinutuloy namin kung ano makakaya namin,” she said.
The actor died on December 14, 2004 after suffering a stroke.
Months earlier, he ran for President but lost to Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
