As you must have noticed,
Funfare has been putting out the lists of the 100 this and that (movies of all time, icons of the century, TV stars of all time, etc.), thanks to my good friend Raoul Tidalgo (columnist and entertainment editor of the New York-based
The Filipino Reporter) who has been religiously sending me the "lists."
