(Updated 8 p.m.) Mang Pandoy, the face of the poor, passes away at 63

MANILA, Philippines - Felipe Natanio or “Mang Pandoy" passed away at the age of 63 due to tuberculosis, a GMA flash report said Sunday. The report said Natanio became known to the public as "the face of the poor" after former President Fidel V. Ramos presented him in his State of the Nation Address (SONA), promising Mang Pandoy a better life. During the ‘90s, Natanio, father of eight children, made ends meet with his meager P50 daily earnings. Natanio hogged the headlines after making a desperate offer to have himself killed in exchange for P100,000 in order to support his family. The report added that Natanio’s remains lie in his house in Quezon City. - GMANews.TV
