CONGRATZZZZZZ!!!

R.I.P. ANGELO TOMAS REYES (March 17, 1945 – February 8, 2011)

9:05 in the morning, February 8, 2011, Tuesday, Philippine time.

I was at the office, browsing the net, searching for possible news.

It's a habit for me already to read news online that can be localized (term we used to relate a national news, even a world news for local use).

suddenly, my EP (executive producer) breaks a news.

ANGELO REYES IS DEAD.

What? I paused for a while, I recalled who's that again. To my stupidity, I asked him if it's the former secretary of DND.

I rushed to the technical room and a breaking news is telling that the former secretary of Philippine National Defense is now dead, committed a suicide, shot him self to death.

Many things came up to my mind, the reason behind his death. Maybe he committed suicide because of the shameful scandal, allegedly he and other former AFP chiefs done. The alleged "PABAON" given to them.

But who am I to give my judgment on his death?

I might be working as a media person, but this time I made myself excluded in this.

I said to myself, pitty Reyes, he was too troubled.

But one thing for sure, god has a plan for him.

Condolence to the bereaved Reyes family.

May you rest in peace sir Angelo Reyes.

MINI LAOAG TOUR!

Last night was like an island-hopping! We went for a night-walking at Laoag, kind of a mini tour where we enjoyed watching some old buildings like the Footstep building with a 1930's-like design while eating isaw (chicken intestines, marinated, cued and grilled) w/c you can only appreciate at night.

Then we went to Ilocostops for a coffee, the first and only (I guess) 24-hour convenience store in the province, then a Roller-coaster ride at the Ang Saya-saya carnival w/ some friends, then after that a night w/ some alcoholic drinks at Mario's (I was dissapointed because they don't have Tanduay Ice :-(), then we bought "mulawin pandesal" near vice gov. Barba's house in San Nicolas, then another coffee under the mango tree at Dimple's place. Hehehe thanks to Mikel, our resident-kabituka-loi driver (hehehe peace :-)).

We suppose to watch the sunrise at Suba, but Mikel is too sleepy hehehe Till next mini tour!
