Grace Poe remembers dad FPJ's generosity on his 80th birth anniversary

If Fernando Poe Jr. were alive today, he would push through with his plan to help the poorest of the poor, his adopted daughter, Senator Grace Poe, said Tuesday.

"Siguro kung siya nandito alam ko uunahin niya talaga yung pinakanangangailangan," Poe said in an interview on FPJ's 80th birth anniversary as tweeted by Super Radyo dzBB's Isa Avendaño-Umali.

Poe described FPJ (Fernando Poe Jr's initials) as a "simple man" who would not balk at any chance to help the needy.

"Simple ang kanyang pagkatao pero kung may nangangailangan ng tulong sa pagpapagamot, sa pagpapa-aral, sa pagkain, hindi niya yun natatanggihan," she said.

FPJ died on December 14, 2004 after suffering a stroke, months after his unsuccessful presidential bid. —KBK, GMA News
