Fernando Poe Jr, “Da King,” on the cover of

People Asia June 2004 issue

Larawang Tribiya

Noong siya ay bata pa, hindi pinangarap ni Fernando Poe Jr. ang maging isang sikat na artista. Ang talagang gusto niya ay maging isang duktor. Gusto naman ng kaniyang ama na siya ay maging isang pari. Hindi rin niya kailanman pinangarap na pumasok sa politika. Subalit dahil sa hindi maiiwasang mga pangyayari sa Pilipinas, ang paghihirap at paghihikahos ng mamamayan, ang matinding korapsyon sa pamahalaan ni Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, at ang kahilingan ng taong-bayan na magkaroon ng isang pinuno na magtataguyod sa kapakanan nila, nahikayat siyang kumandidato sa pagkapangulo ng Pilipinas noong 2004. Sa kasamaang-palad dinaya siya at ninakaw ang karapatan niyang umupo bilang pangulo ng Pilipinas.
