Best known for his love of coffee and his humor on the job, Carmelito Q. Francisco, Inquirer correspondent for Davao, died of cardiac arrest only hours short of his 55th birthday. /PDI
Francisco also chaired the Davao chapter of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines from 2007 to 2009.
