Ana, Manila, Philippines, to Avelino and Eugenia Francisco on Dec.23rd, 1943. He had a large and loving extended family, including sister Nina, and brothers Stanley and Emmanuel. At a young age, he developed a love for all things technical, from cars, to computers, to hi-fi stereos for his beloved classical music, eventually finding his calling in electronics.
