First it was Mansueto “Onyok” Velasco
and now another Olympian who has given glory and honor for the country has been
extended help by Chooks to Go.
Leopoldo Serrantes, who has won
the bronze medal in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, will be
receiving P100,000 per month for life for his service to the country.
The 59-year-old native
of Bicol is suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has
been confined at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center for some time now.

"Just like with
Onyok Velasco, we cannot just forget the sports heroes that gave honor to our
country in the past. We should continue to honor their legacy," said
Chooks-to-Go president Ronald Mascariñas.
"In the case of
Leopoldo Serantes, we decided to give him a monthly allowance of P100,000 for
the rest of his life so that he can live with dignity befitting a living
hero."
He is the sixth
Filipino overall to win an Olympic medal and a gold medallist in the Southeast
Asian Games, is one of the childhood heroes of Velasco. Velasco was the one who
helped Mascariñas track the whereabouts of Serantes.
"Si Leopoldo Serantes,
isa yang alamat sa boxing. Nung naguumpisa pa lang kami, nandiyan na siya. Siya
na yung tinitingala na namin," shared Velasco, a silver medalist in the
1996 Atlanta Games.
"Nung
nag-Olympics siya, dun na nagumpisa yung pagka-idolo namin sa kanya. Naka-medal
siya tapos hindi rin siya ganun kalaking tao, maliit lang pero naka-medal at
talagang malakas.
"Naisipan ko na
ilapit siya sa Chooks-to-Go kasi natulungan din ako. Si Serantes,
nangangailangan din ng tulong. Nangangailangan talaga siya ng tulong.
According to Serantes'
daughter Leodelia, her dad has been suffering from COPD for months now and
their family has been struggling to cope with the expenses.
"Kailangan po
niya ng suporta parang kailangan pa niya lumapit para tulungan siya ng
iba," said Leodelia.
The daughters said the
sum will be enough to take care of Serantes' medical bill.
"Sobrang laking
tulong po nito para sa tatay ko. Hindi na siya mamomoblema sa araw-araw niya na
gastusin para sa oxygen, sa gastusan niya sa gamutan na pang buhay," she
said.
