Most people who see Mateo remark that he looks like Ramil and I couldn’t agree more. However, there’s something with Mateo’s face and smile here that reminds me of myself. I realized how amazing the feeling is when you look at your child and you could almost touch the genetic material that came from you. I can imagine how vandals must feel everytime they leave their mark on a wall or on the back of a seat of a bus. I’m sure Mateo will grow up looking like Ramil and I don’t mind because there are looks and angles that will always remind me that I’ve left my mark on this world.
