Maybe it's something in the water of the aptly named village that he lives, but whatever the reason, you have to admire his patriotism.
Man has 35 kids -- and one on the way
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (Reuters) - A 74-year-old farmer living in a depressed region of Honduras has fathered 35 children and says he has the energy to have more with his wife, who is pregnant again.
Santos Pastor Baca, who has lived all his life in the village of Concepcion 30 miles south of the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa, says his oldest child is 51 and the youngest just 3 months old.
Honduras' bestselling La Prensa newspaper quoted him Sunday as saying, "I have decided to keep giving my country children."
The man, who has 40 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, had 18 offspring by his first wife, who died in 1979, and eight by current wife, Cristina Cerrato, 35.
"The other nine I had outside, a few times when I went astray," he told La Prensa.
