[Title] => Eddie Romero transfers film rights to NCCA
[Summary] =>
National Artist for Cinema and Broadcast Arts Eddie Romero transferred the rights of his film Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon to the National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA).
His father was a poet, I have been told, but to me it will always be my grandfather who gave birth to and nurtured our family’s love affair with the English language.
Teodoro M. Locsin Sr. died exactly 10 years ago this day (or at 8:30 tonight, to be exact, and if we are to go by the late Adrian Cristobal’s article at the time).

[Title] => Nick Joaquin, 86: Passing of an era
[Summary] => National artist for literature Nick Joaquin died yesterday morning in his home in San Juan. He was 86.
Joaquins sister, Tina Joaquin-Erum, said the cause of death was cardiac arrest. He had just sent out an assistant to buy the morning papers and breakfast was waiting at his bedside on PR Sotto street.
His death came after one final beer and less than a week before his 87th birthday on May 4. Internet engines though listed his birthday as Sept. 15, which may have been Joaquins last attempt to confound biographers.

The Davao City government awarded 11 of its 15 contracts to private firm GenCorp without public bidding, a procurement official revealed yesterday at the resumption of the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
The Senate impeachment court has issued a stern warning to House prosecutor Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Terry Ridon over comments he made in media interviews that have been flagged for possible violation of the gag order.
There is no final decision yet on whether the defense will file a petition before the Supreme Court questioning the Senate impeachment court’s ruling to lower the number of votes needed to convict Vice President Sara Duterte.
On Friday night, Sept. 25, 2026, I was a moderator at the MOPC Senate Night with Senate President Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian as guest of honor and speaker.
