One of the last pictures of former councilor Nars Padilla during the Children’s Mardi Gras of the Silahis ng Pasko last year at the Melvin Jones. The late Padilla finished the month providing the ray of hope or silahis to those less in life like children, indigent families and people with disabilities before suffering a heart attack after New Year’s Day. He died last March 3 but his legacy will live on with his youngest child, Fritz Gerald, as the possible new Santa.
