BAYOYOY, the dwarf man

I'd like you to meet Bayoyoy...

Because we were glad to meet him too! :)

This man had been featured in various TV shows (like Rated K by Korina Sanchez there), infamous for being one of the smallest man in the Philippines. Being only about 30 inches tall at his present age of 60 years old, he has obviously suffered from dwarfism, but of a different kind. Unlike other "cute" people (I'd hate to call them "dwarfs"), he could neither talk nor walk. He has underdeveloped bones and muscles; and given only "soft diet" due to his inability to chew well.

I haven't had the chance to interview the parents (since they passed away years ago. He's already 60!) but I met his sister who informed me that Bayoyoy is not the only "cute" man in the family. Out of 12 siblings, 6 were born with this condition alternately to the normal ones, but only Bayoyoy survived.

Well, he must really have a mission --- to touch people's lives or make a change. :)

Entrance is free here, but donations are highly encouraged. 

Proceeds will be used for Bayoyoy's needs.
