What began rather curiously (maybe fittingly) as a chance encounter in a jeepney led to a memorable association of over 35 years with our country’s most formidable writer — ever.

I learned about Nick Joaquin (NJ, from hereon) because he was my father’s kumpare. NJ was the ninong of my elder brother Joey, so he always seemed to be around the house whenever it was Christmas or some such holiday.

I recall an old film, a Hayley Mills starrer, where her provincial character misquotes a line when she tries to impress her significant other, a London sophisticate: "Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast (sic)." The boy winces, and without looking at her, applies the correction: "Breast, darling. Breast."
