Her front garden features a coral-lined altar to the Virgin Mary, and an entire shelf in her living room is filled with icons and bric-a-brac in honor of Christ's mother. Dionisia wanted Manny to be a priest. Prayer reigns in his gym. "After each workout," says Giongco, "he requests a moment of silence where he prays, and then everything goes back to normal...
...biggest issue is the fact that they are still planning on patenting in the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—and that is problematic,” said Jillian L.
