[My IDOL PADING JOE, Attorney JOSE CAMANO of UP Law 1978, is shown here with some sort of a FIDDLER CAP atop his BRAINY PATE. His gracious wife GLORIA is shown as though peeping from behind acting like a cherubic angel protecting and guarding her doting and ever faithful husband. IDOL PADI JOE gave up his lucrative lawyering trade in the Philippines as he found solace and enjoyment instead in serving as a doting grandpa to his cute breed of grandkids in MICHIGAN, USA.]
IDOL PADI JOE, you’re a very likeable PERSON,
Your mien and stance resembles that of a saintly PARSON;
I am awed too by your principled DISPOSITION…
Your INTEGRITY and HUMILITY are truly without QUESTION!
You are MYSTERIOUS and a true INTELLECTUAL…
That’s what is shown in your HOROSCOPE JOURNAL;
CREATIVE and BRAINY too, that’s the TRUE YOU…
HARMONIOUS and GRANDIOUS, a
friend to whom I’ll never say ADIEU!
As a GEMINEAN, you are an INFLUENTIAL INTELLECTUAL…
Indeed, not just INTELLECTUAL, for you’re an EXEMPLAR;
You’ve combined your creative talents with your business SKILLS,
As your creed is “FAMILY FIRST”, it gave you indeed, your most wanted THRILLS!
You are truly a NEATNESS FREAK…
One trait that perhaps you want your grandkids to MIMIC;
But you are a grandpa who treasures FAMILY TRADITIONS,
And almost all PINOYS are so doting to their SCIONS!
You have shunned the lucrative LAWYERING TRADE…
As you wanted to baby-sit your “APOS” like a MAID;
But truly indeed, your cute breed of GRANDKIDS,
Wipes away your TIREDNESS, keeps your smile but aborts your PHILIPPINE TRIPS!
You are capable of making quick DECISIONS,
As you always listen to your INSTINCT in quick SUCCESSIONS;
You are very appreciative of ART and NATURE,
That actually shows in your love for plants and all those VERDURE!
On this your NATAL DAY, I wish you LONG LIFE and MORE SUCCESS;
Am sure you’ll attain it as you’re filled with much PROWESS—
For indeed, any DREAM that’s DREAMT to be ACHIEVED…
With HARD WORK as ingredient, TRIUMPH will surely be FULFILLED!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IDOL PADING JOE!!!!

Walter I am melting in your accolade. Thanks a lot though. But you could have mistaken me for some of your more virtuous, highly principled and talented friends. Me was the upstart whom Prof. Ambion used to dress down in class, picayune and provincial.😊
