He attended local elementary schools and Don Bosco for high school. After graduation, he attended the University of the Philippines for two years and then enlisted in the Air Force. He was stationed at Vandenburg Air Base in California and Misawa Air Base in Japan. After leaving the Air Force, he finished his college and U.C. Davis with a degree in International Relations.

He moved to the Washington, D.C. area and worked as a computer programmer for Raytheon and later, Pepco. Manny soon got into software sales, both nationally and internationally for companies such as EDS and Oracle. He even got to ride on the Concorde after one trip.

In retirement, Manny loved to eat, fish, tango, and play golf. He made many friends. Upon relocating to Las Vegas, he continued the eating, fishing (especially in Beaver, Utah) and golf and added martial arts, earning a black belt in aikido.

Manny is survived by his wife of 42 years, Susan, his dog Scotty, two younger siblings, and numerous favorite cousins and nieces and nephews and friends from golfing and martial arts.
