Oo. Alam ko, lagpas isang buwan na mula nung pumutok ang balitang ito. Pero maliban sa wala akong pakialam sa timing, ay hindi makakaila, bilang isa sa mga taong sumubaybay sa WWE isang dekada na ang lumipas, masakit 'to.

Alaala ng Route 196

Ang hirap magising sa isang Linggo ng gabi kung saan puno ng emosyon at pamamaalam ang mga nangyayari. Pustahan: baka marami pa sa atin ang naiyak noong nalaman ang balitang yan. Parang noong nakaraang dekada, noong nagbabay sa ere ang NU 107 dahil sa dami ng tao sa labas ng studio nila sa Ortigas at ilan sa atin na nakatutok nun sa mga radyo.

Halos saglit lang pagkamulat ng mata at pagtingin sa news feed sa Facebook, ay ang balita ng pagsasara ng isang bar ang bumungad kagad.

Isang buwan na ang nakalipas mula noong ginulantang ang buong mundo ng balita ng kanyang biglaang pagkamatay. Pero ang sakit pa rin, pre. 

Habang pinapanood ang tribute sa kanya ng National Basketball Association sa YouTube, grabe, napaisip ako, halos dalawang dekada din pala mula noong sinundan ko ang liga na ito – gayun din ang karera niya, kahit hindi ako isang tagahanga.

Honestly, I don't know why I should write this piece. First and foremost, I'm not even a fan (though I don't hate them either). They are probably one of the fewest names which my elders would tell that I should refrain from patronizing to. Because in their eyes, the then-hit thing called “rock music” is nothing but mere disturbing noise.

#ThankYouKobe, 1 Year Later

04/14/2017 04:09:44 AM

It's been barely 367 days since we have seen this guy last played in an NBA game. And what a monumental game to finish – 60 points to put Kobe Bryant into one of the top scorers ever in the NBA.



Talk about ending a career with a bang, right? Especially in the last stretch of the game where everything, though dramatic, turned out be an entertaining kind of farewell.

Rewind: Earth, Wind & Fire - September

09/21/2016 03:44:18 AM 

Perhaps I'm not too late to give a bit of a look-back to the pioneer of the Earth, Wind and Fire pioneers, eh? 

I quite heard this from my cousin's disco fiasco albums way back then; the era where guys like Shalamar, Chic, and even Michael Jackson has been making everyone groove to the mixture of soul-funk-rnb-and Motown pop, a mixture that defined the late 70s music.

Just My Opinion: Urbandub's Disbandment

4/8/2015 8:56:59 PM

Fifteen years in the industry; perhaps a typical life expectancy for a music band; Yes, after one and a half decade, they will part ways.

The Scene Around: Gabi Ng Pagpupugay

06/13/14 01:32:20 PM


The Independence Day was the very important holiday for the citizens of Republic of the Philippines. It was indeed the date which showcased one of the most pivotal events in the history of this country–our independence of the three-century colonization of then-European imperialist Spain.

It was every June 12th of the year when several events were held in observance of our Independence day, such as job fairs, the annual rituals of giving tributes and respect to RP's official signs, and even advocacy-driven rallies and concerts.

Though most of them were on the political and artistic themes, no one seemed to put a hand on sports. It's like everyone forgotten something–that is to pay tribute to the people who made recognition through the means of playing the physical (and mental) activities in life called “sports.”


This is what the objective of a veteran sports-beat journalist and former commissioner of the now-defunct Philippine Basketball League (PBL) Chino Trinidad when he waged a sporting tribute event called “Pagpupugay”at the Newport Performing Arts Theater located inside the Newport Mall of Resorts World Manila on Thursday evening, which by the way was also the Independence Day (June 12).

Sino mag-aakala na ang mamang ito ay mamamatay nang biglaan? As in hindi mo inaasahan bilang isang wrestling fan.

Oo, si James Brian Hellwig nga. Kung batang 80s o 90s ka at nanunood ng WWF (yan pa pangalan nila nun, bago sila nagkaroon ng naming dispute sa World Wildlife Fund) sa TV, ke sa channel 9 o 13 man yan, alam mo kung gaano kakilala ang mamang ito.

Yung taong laging nakaface-paint at may suot na maskarang akala mo ay aatend ng isang masquerade party? Yung tipong pag nasa squared circle ay ipapadyak ang paa ng bonggang-bongga habang tila inaalog ang taling nagsisilbing bakod nito. Yung sa sobrang wild ng personality dala ng kanayng hype at energy  pagdating sa arena, samahan mo pa ng musical entrance niya. At yung boses niya na kjala mo ay nakawala sa koral.


Yan nga – si Ultimate Warrior.

Gone Too Soon, Tado.

Tutal lahat naman ay may kwento ukol sa namanaty na sikat na personalidad na iniiolo nila. Aba, wala ako eh. Isang karanasan lang ang maipapaskil ko.

At alam ko, hindi throwback Thursday ngayon. E ano naman?

Naalala ko pa ang kauna-unahang beses kong naengkwentrong ang mamang ito. Once upon a time, sa Save More Riverbanks (taong 2000 yun kung tama pa ang memorya ko; kung hindi? Mas maaga pa dun, mga 1999), ang ermat at pinsan ko ang unang nakapansin sa komedyanteng yun, samantalang ako ay walang kaide-ideya na nakikita nila ang isa sa mga pinapanood nila sa telebisyon.

Alaala ng Studio 23

1/16/2014 1:21:15 PM



Sa totoo lang, mula noong kalagitnaan ng nakaraang dekada lang ako mas nakatutok sa Studio 23. Siguro dala ng pagkahumaling ko nun sa panunood ng mga collegiate league sa Kamaynilaan tulad ng UAAP at NCAA.

Samahan mo pa ng mga palabas na banyaga na dati rati ay laman ng Channel 2. At pati ang mga locally-produced na programa na ganun din. Pati nga yata yung Family Rosary Crusade ay kasama din dun eh.

Hindi pa ganun kalaganap ang Twitter nun (kaya hindi yata uso ang sa modernong bokabularyo ang salitang “trending”). Pero sa gitna ng pananghalian noong Biyernes, Marso 6, 2009, ito ang bumulaga sa mga manunood ng isang noontime show nun – ang biglaang pagkamatay ni Kiko. Mula sa mga salita ni Bossing Vic Sotto na nagsapubliko ng balitang ito.

ALAMAT. (A Fan’s Tribute to Master Rapper)

Isang alamat na maituturing. Isa sa mga tao na nakapagpabago o humubog ng takbo ng musika sa Pilipinas. Sino ba naman ang hindi makakalimot sa kanyang mga kanta na nagsasalamin sa iba’t ibang mga tema at mensahe? Nakipagsabayan kila Andrew E at sa mga tulad ng bandang Rivermaya at Yano noong Dekada ’90? Ang nakasama nila Ely Buendia ng Eraserheads, ang bandang Greyhoundz, Si Chito Miranda at ang kanyang Parokya ni Edgar, ang grupong Death Threat na kinabibilangan ng isa sa kanyang mga nagging kaibigan at tagahanga at ngayon, ay sumusunod sa yapak niya na si Gloc-9?

Hindi matatawaran ang kontribusyon ni Francis Magalona sa indistriya ng musika. Napakalupit lang.
