It was all a simple and happy life for Manuel. with a complete family, going with his father in a cock fighting competition and selling tinapa afterwards. And at the end of the day, they would go back home and eat dinner with contentment Never did this young boy thought that their happiness would vanish in an instant. But it did. When his mother died, his father left them all alone to. Leaving Manuel and his three other siblings with no choice but. to live on their own. You would find Manuel Oliveros, a young boy who now acts as a parent to his siblings, in a dark in narrow home in Trese Marteres, Cavite. Washing the dishes and thinking of ways to give his siblings, Mark, Jeffree, and Ronickson something to eat. "Minsan po kapag hindi ako pinapayagang manguha ng mangga, nangangalakal po ako," Manuel shared during his interview with julius Babao in Mission Imposible. Manuel Oliveros might have lost his idea of a complete and happy family. But he was there, standing strong enough to keep them going everyday. " Uunahin ko na lang po sila bago sarili ko," Manuel stated, pertaining to his siblings. They lost their parents, but Manuel was there to be one.
