MANILA — His beautiful and talented twins Pepe and Pilar must have mellowed down Mar Roxas and he’s now repackaging himself from “Mr. Palengke” to “Mr. Healthy’ and no more political talk.

In a video clip, Roxas said that he wants to be a strong and healthy octogenarian when his kids hit their 20s.

“Many of you replied why this thing on health is wealth. I was just doing the Math and I figured out the arithmetic is compelling that by the time my kids are in their 20s, I’ll be in my 80s so I want to be as strong and healthy as 80 year old so I can enjoy time with them as, and between now and then,” Roxas said.

The former Interior Secretary who’s now 66 years old added that he realized that by the time his kids reach adulthood, he will be in his 80s.

Roxas revealed all these in his latest Instagram post on Day 2 of his walking exercise.

On his second day of walking routine, the former senator clocked in 8,000 steps covering 6.9 kilometers.

Roxas did not discuss any political issues.
