It was also in those days that I was able to glean that he, not only was my uncle but also was my grandfather by co-sanguinity &#8212; his wife (whom we fondly called &#8220;<strong>Lola Paring<\/strong>&#8220;) being the aunt of my mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time that he was with us in Baclaran (and if I also happen to be at home), there was always a discussion -over cups of instant coffee- that centered on his vast array of interests: <strong>honey bees<\/strong>, <strong>silk culture<\/strong>, <strong>alfalfa<\/strong>, grapes, <strong>pigeon-breeding<\/strong>, vitamins, mushrooms, asparagus sprouts, oranges, and many other agri-related topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His interests and how he explained them to all of us were presented with such enthusiasm and persuasiveness that he was also able to convince my mother to sell the pure honey contained in &#8216;<strong><em>patis<\/em><\/strong>&#8216; (fish sauce) bottles in our store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every New Year&#8217;s Day, when he was still residing in <strong>Grace Park<\/strong>, Manila (part of what was then known as &#8216;<strong>Manuguit<\/strong>&#8216; or presently <strong>Jose Abad Santos Avenue<\/strong> in Manila&#8217;s <strong>Tondo<\/strong> district), our family made an annual trek to his house, as it was his birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to recall those visits with great anticipation because they were one of those infrequent occasions when our store would be closed.  Not only will we be free from store work for the entire day, but we will also always look forward to what Tata Fidel and his family will serve us that day with delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I especially loved the <strong>fried chicken<\/strong>, the &#8220;house special&#8221;, and the very delicious cakes and pastries they made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew he was not a good cook, but it happened that one of their tenants in the mixed-apartment building they owned was a restaurant, and for a time, they also operated a small bakery in the same building.  Hence, while there were plenty of good foods, &#8220;good talks&#8221; were also awash every New Year&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up, he would badger me -as well as the rest of my siblings and cousins &#8211; to take up courses like <strong>orthodontics<\/strong>, <strong>X-ray technology<\/strong>, and <strong>baking<\/strong>, and constantly reminded me of the benefits of taking up short courses at trade schools like <strong>PCAT<\/strong> (the Philippine College of Arts and Trades, presently known as <strong>TUP<\/strong>, Technological University of the Philippines).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what I remembered best about my Tata Fidel was his passion for exploring natural methods to stay fit, trim, and healthy.\u00a0 It was a natural diversion for him, having been a successful businessman who operated a <strong>battery repair\/re-manufacturing<\/strong> shop and then an <strong>auto parts supply<\/strong> store in Pasay City immediately after World War II ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also ventured into other businesses, including a small bakery and a garment factory, after semi-retiring in the early 1970s.  These were not long after he ensured that his family was financially secure by making some brilliant real estate investments during the years they still operated the auto parts shop.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a073101987c9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a073101987c9\" class=\"aligncenter wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"441\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/carpios.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/carpios.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/carpios-350x241.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/carpios-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Tata Fidel<\/strong> (extreme right, with glasses) with siblings and mother.

He even had a &#8216;mini-lab&#8217; in the basement of that house, where he kept his collection of seeds and various plants, whose names I didn&#8217;t even know existed in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those were the days I remembered my Tata Fidel best.\u00a0 Except for a mild hearing loss that he remedied with the use of a hearing aid, he remained energetic, full of life, and still healthy, even in his early 80s.  Still strong for his advanced age, he can still crush those bottle crowns with the force of his fingers, using only one hand, while I watched with awe.  A feat I wasn&#8217;t able to accomplish at my relatively young age of around 30 back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last time I had the chance to see him was in the late 1990s, a time when I was preparing to migrate to the U.S. I had the opportunity to accompany him to a drugstore to pick up some of his medications before he returned to Bulacan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did not bother to ask him what those medicines were for.\u00a0 And, didn&#8217;t I notice any changes in his health?  He was, for me, the same strong and health-conscious man, continually lecturing me on the benefits of natural foods and organic medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, about the middle of February, he was gone.  This led me to wonder, once more, about life&#8217;s real meaning\u2014the whys and hows of creation and death, and why we, mere mortals, have to endure all these events that seem to have happened before\u2014in a never-ending circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are we living for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I may not be able to come up with an intelligent answer over the course of my own personal odyssey&#8230;in my very own lifetime.  But I&#8217;m sure of one thing: <strong>life&#8217;s memories<\/strong>, for as long as one lives, <strong>linger on<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, I&#8217;m also  sure that my Tata Fidel had truly accomplished what he was here on Earth for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTES<\/strong><em>:<\/em> The picture above is their family portrait with Tata Fidel on the extreme right (with dark glasses).
