                    [Title] => My father makes people cry
                    [Summary] => 

Yes, my father makes people cry.

A man of passion, my father devoted his life to business and law. He won cases for both rich and poor people. When he won cases for the rich, he would come home with a bag full of money. When he won cases for the poor, he would come home with a bag full of vegetables.

Osmeña yesterday said Roco was one of the brightest senators and could have been a good president.

"Mr. Roco had the potential of being a good president but he just didn't have the organizational skills to put it together," Osmeña said.
