ROADSIDE CONCERT. A lot of pedestrians enjoyed watching and listening to an Asian foreigner singing on the sidewalk outside Plaza Independencia one afternoon last week. Many thought he was Japanese but it turned out he was a Vietnamese sailor. He sang in his native language and thrilled listeners when he sang two French songs.
NOT A BEGGAR. At first it was believed by some that he was a beggar. But no. He was an educated Vietnamese who just wanted to give Pinoys some samples of Vietnamese songs. He spoke good English. He said he often does an impromptu one-man roadside concert when visiting a friendly place.
