Phone numbers are jotted down and plans to get together are done. 


  But promises of keeping in touch or "I will call you" remain unfulfilled. It’s back to the daily grind and concerns of making a living. Then someone dies and the whole cycle is repeated.

SAN JOSE CITY - Local politicians can learn a lesson or two from these two
councilors who, since their election in 1998, have gained popularity for
painstakingly attending lamayan (wakes) around this city.

By their estimates, councilors Albert Cukingnan, 51, and Joseph Ortiz, 35, said
they must have attended about 800 wakes since finishing first and fifth,
respectively, in the 1998 councilor race. They go to some 10 to 16 wakes a
week.

The two said they missed only about 20 wakes. Why?
