Meet Manong, our 70 yr old Sofa Maker

Hi Fans.. hehehe

That’s Manong, our mabait and masipag na sofa maker. Manong also refurbished the sofa of Tita Josie ( Rj’s mom) and since his works met Tita’s standards, she recommended him to us. Very masipag and malakas pa si manong inspite his age. He said that he’s been in the sofa-making industry since his early 20’s. Imagine.. almost 50 years na syang gumagawa ng mga sofa kaya naman I have high expectations of him! Lagot ka manong, spell P-r-e-s-s-u-re!

Pero since we’re refurbishing 3 pieces of chunky sofas, medyo kawawa naman si manong and he can’t do it alone so his son ( who is also a sofa maker in Saudi.. chochal dba?! ) and his apo are helping him out.

So far, here are the pics of our fab sofa @ works..


Manong and his apo Sorry if you can’t see their faces.. naka focus kasi ako masyado sa sofa. Hehe

looks ugly now I know, but wait ‘til it’s done!

Here’s the dark brown colored leatherette that we will be using. I Love it. I think it fits the color of the wall and the Amorsolo painting.

3 more days to go and I can’t wait to see the finish product! Make me proud Manong!
