== About ==
=== Early Life ===
Francisco was born in the rural countryside of Manila, on May 13th, 1850 under Spanish Rule. He fished with his father as his mother did all of the works at home. He was taught Spanish by his half-spanish father who makes a living fishing for the Capro family. He was fond of horse racing after he saw his father use a horse to transport fish to the local market to sell. He then used his father's horse everyday to practice with it. At a young age not many could beat him in horse racing in Manila, receiving the nickname, El Corredor de Caballos (The Horse Racer). He participated in rebellion against the Spanish due to their oppressions to his family due to their blood and color. Using his trusty horse, he set ablaze multiple buildings in Manila controlled by the Spanish which turned into a fire that lasted for a week. 
=== Military Career ===
He joined the Philippine army in 1871, where his recruiters noted his efforts in the rebellion which made him pass the academy with flying colors. Because he was fond of horses, he obviously joined KAB and became an excellent rider. He became a garrison trooper and also became a navy seaman after that he participated in The Philippine-Sulu war and Philippine-Brunei War. He was awarded the Distinguished Cavalryman Service and a 2nd class Loyalty Medal. In one of those War's he got his Iconic Eye patch and the name, Los jinetes tuertos (The One Eyed Horsemen). The reason for his eye patch is because he was shot in the eye by a sharpshooter while fight against another cavalry and after that he survived the gunshot on his eye but now wearing an eye patch for the rest of his life. He is now a Scout and a Messenger for the Kabalyerya de Batangas and still fighting for the Philippine's.
=== Civilian Life ===
He enjoys his life outside of the military helping his father fish and delivering it to the Local Market. He lives a simple life and is simply content with what he has.
