FPJ'S GENEROSITY # 1


There are actually dozens of stories that tell of Fernando Poe, Jr.’s extra generosity. Like, how he used to regularly visit a squatter’s group somewhere in
Fairview where, at one time, he had shot one of his movies. Every Christmas, from then on, FPJ would rent a jeepney, fill it up with all kinds of goodies to be distributed to the residents who eventually became his friends. The last time Ronnie visited them, he found the place empty. He had a jeepney loaded with gift items but there was no one to receive it. He was about to leave when he saw an old man almost running towards him with a basketful of vegetables on one hand and some chicken dangling on the other. He could hardly breathe because of fatigue. Haltingly, he told the action king that they had been relocated to Sapang Palay. “Eto nga ho ‘yong mga tanim namin at ilan sa mga alagang manok. Nais nilang ibigay ito at alam nila na darating kayo.” Almost in tears, FPJ embraced the old man and offered to accompany him to Sapang Palay where they distributed the items.

Mahal nya talaga ang masang Pilipino. Isa yan sa mga katangian nya na naging tatak nya bilang isang FPJ on and off cam. Millions of Filipinos really missed him very much and I'm one of them. For me, hindi talaga sya mapapalitan sa puso ng bawat Pilipino.

For me, FPJ is the most generous person na nakilala ko at talaga namang napaka-solemn at totoong-totoo pa kung tumulong sa kapwa. Ewan ko pero sa tingin very rare si IDOL FPJ. Masakit pa ring isiping physically he's not with us anymore but as you said Simon, hindi namatay si FPJ sa puso ng bawat Pilipino. Lagi syang nasa puso at alaala natin...

Totoo ang sinabi ninyo. Hindi ko man siya nakita sa personal, pero alam kong mahal na mahal ko siya. Alam ko ring mahal niya ang masang Pilipino, kaya nga siya namatay, sa pagdaramdam na hindi niya lubusang maisakatuparan ang hangaring matulungan ang masang Pilipino. Hindi siya mawawala kailanman sa puso ng bawat Plipino, lalo na sa puso ko.
