You asked for so little, but gave so very much.“A father holds his daughter’s hand for a short while, but he holds her heart forever.”
MANUEL PINEDA MACAPINLAC, M.D., Ph.D. at 90 years old joined his Creator at 6:06 a.m. on March 6, 2021.
Dr. Macapinlac was born on January 2, 1931 in Minalin, Pampanga. He earned his medical degree at the University of the Philippines in 1955. He went on to study biochemistry at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A., and earned his Master of Science degree in 1961 and Ph.D. degree in 1967. He taught and served as Faculty and Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine and at De La Salle University – Emilio Aguinaldo College of Medicine. By staying focused and devoting his full efforts and attention to his pursuits, he accomplished plenty throughout his life. As a teacher, mentor, and professor, he enriched the lives of many students, passing on a wealth of knowledge to many different generations. As a scientist, he made significant contributions to the knowledge of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and was a pioneer in addressing the issue on how to alleviate malnutrition in the Philippines. As a father and grandfather, he instilled the value of love and hard work through example. He preached the importance of self-reliance, the value of time, and providing for one’s family.
He is survived by his wife, Letty, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, grandsons-in-law and great grandchildren. Daddy/Dads to us, Maning/Doc Maning/Tatang Maning to others, he is loved, cherished, and will be profoundly missed.
