After 50 years, Sen. Manuel “Lito” Lapid returns and ponders on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, on his life story in Barangay Damayan, San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City. Lapid recalled that he lived a humble and exciting life in the village from 1974 to 1977 as a ward to his brother, Rey Lapid. Salud Calalay played host to the Lapid siblings. Coincidentally, it is also in this area that the late Fernando Poe, Jr. would set up his studios.
