Untold Pinoy Story No. 1

The Heart of the Matter .

It was meant to be just one of those late afternoon trips to National Bookstore in Rizal Avenue hoping for a greatbook find. I was browsing through the books on sale which were piled up on a big table on the second floor. I wasalone for sometime until the corner of my eye caught a shadow beside me. I didn’t look but I figured that it was aman. He spoke to himself.

“It was here yesterday ”, said the voice.

I didn’t take the bait. I just ignored him. Having grown up in a small town, I was always reminded to be wary of

strangers. Downtown Manila was full of crooks, my folks would always say.The man continued shoving the books, painstakingly peering at the bottom of the pile.

I wanted to avoid him so I decided to browse through the regularly-priced books while waiting for the man to leave. As I started to move away, I looked up. I was astonished. I’ve seen that man before. I couldn’t believe it. Was thatreally him?

Only a few years ago, I dragged my sister to Fort Santiago to watch a stage play. But more than the thrill of watching a stage play directed by Lino Brocka and starring Lolita Rodriguez, Charito Solis and Philip Salvador inthe flesh (so close that you could literally touch them), was the chance to see what many considered as thegreatest Filipino stage play ever written. The play’s author did not even finish high school but he was regarded asthe greatest Filipino writer in English. I have seen the English play’s film version but I had been dreaming of seeingit on stage even if it had been translated to Pilipino.

My sister and I waited long hours on the concrete bench outside the open-air Rajah Sulayman Theatre. Before theplay started, Lino Brocka graciously signed my copy of the play’s program with these Latin words: Contra Mundum!

But when I saw the play’s author, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I did not pass the opportunity to request for aphotograph with him. As I pulled out my old reliable vintage 50s Kodak camera with rotating flashbulbs, someclueless kibitzers wondered who that man was. I was the only one who gave him that kind of attention. Upon myrequest, he quietly signed my copy of the book of his play. Ever since I read his story about a woman who looked atthe mirror to see her future husband, I had been hooked into his works. I bought all his books: novels, stage plays,reportage, poems, children’s stories. He had always been someone bigger than life to me.

That afternoon at National Bookstore, I stood catatonic halfway through the shelves of regularly-priced books as Icame to the realization that the man standing before me looked like the author of the stage play which I saw withmy sister at Rajah Sulayman Theatre a few years ago. I was speechless for a moment. Then, I summoned all myguts and asked him if he was the man I thought he was.

“Yes”, said the man, barely looking at me as he continued rummaging through the books.

“Which book are you looking for?”, I asked, still in awe of his magnificent presence.

“The Heart of the Matter. I saw it here yesterday ”, this time with warmth in his voice.

My eyes joined his search for the book. No one spoke a word.

After a fruitless search, he slowly moved away from the table and headed for the stairs. I looked up. He stoppedand grabbed the stair’s balustrade, then smiled at me. He raised his right arm and motioned it in the act of drinking.I couldn’t believe it. This man whom I adore so much was inviting me for a drink. And we only met today! He doesn’teven know my name.

I was very naïve and afraid at that time. It was getting dark outside. Besides, I haven’t tasted beer in my life. I wouldnot be able to hide the stench of beer when I get home. I politely shook my head. He was gone in an instant.

After a year, I saw a copy of Graham Greene’s The Heart of the Matter at National Bookstore. It was on sale again.I immediately bought the only remaining copy.

Later, I saw the man again in Rizal Avenue. But I didn’t have the guts to approach him. He was walking briskly with

a young boy in school uniform. His nephew, I surmised.

To this day, I couldn’t help but wonder what could have happened had I joined him for a drink that late afternoon.Who knows? He could have shared with me his writing secrets and I would have been a celebrated writer by now.Or perhaps, things could have turned out differently. The elusive and unpredictable writer that he was, he once tooka cab all the way from Manila to Baguio.

But I have to admit that I feel a sense of regret at having passed up that rare opportunity of sharing a bottle of beer with a national treasure who remains on top of my list of writing inspirations: Nick Joaquin..

And you know the rest of his story.

Barbara C. Gonzales is the great-granddaughter of national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Her great-grandmother is Dr. Jose Rizal’s elder sister, Maria, a liberated woman who was separated from her husbandDaniel. Barbara is more popularly known by her nickname, Tweetums. She once appeared in a Del Monte tomatosauce TV commercial featuring three generations of women in the kitchen. Yes, that was Tweetums with her

daughter, Panjee, and Tweetum’s mother whom they fondly called Mamu. Tweetums was married to RamonTapales, a successful businessman. Their daughter, Panjee Tapales (a.k.a. singer Panjee Gonzales), was co-hostof ABS-CBN’s daily morning show, Alas Singko Y Media (now Magandang Umaga Pilipinas) and its defunctSunday morning game show with Roderick Paulate. Panjee soon became the second wife of ABS-CBN chairman,Gabby Lopez. (But that’s another story.) Tweetums writes about art and culture in her column for the PhilippineStar. She has published a couple of books consisting of collections of her essays from her newspaper column. Sheremains a highly-respected media personality, being the president of a major advertising company.

Socorro Alicia R. Quirino is the granddaughter of former president Elpidio Quirino. More popularly known by her nickname, Cory, she hosts a lifestyle show on TV. Her kidnapping ordeal a few years ago was made into a movieentitled, The Cory Quirino Kidnap, which was directed by massacre king Carlo J. Caparas. Cory was married toRoman Cruz, Jr. who was the president of Philippine Airlines and head of Government Service Insurance System(GSIS). Cory writes a regular column on fitness and health for the Philippine Daily Inquirer. She also published aseries of health, beauty and inspirational books. She remains a highly visible media personality with her radio andTV programs.

While Tweetums and Cory were both successful in their respective careers, their personal lives were not as rosy.Tweetums Gonzales and her husband, Ramon Tapales, eventually decided to lead separate lives. Likewise, CoryQuirino and her husband, Roman Cruz, Jr., soon parted ways.

Indeed, Tweetums and Cory seem to lead parallel lives.

Then, in a strange twist of fate, the unthinkable happened. . While geometry teaches us that parallel lines can never intersect, the parallel lives of Tweetums and Cory allegedly intersected.

Tweetums Gonzales reportedly got married to Cory’s former husband, Roman Cruz, Jr. Meanwhile, Cory Quirinoreportdly got married to Tweetum’s former husband, Ramon Tapales.

Just like in the movies.

And you know the rest of their story.

Anak ng Jueteng! Pepe hailed from a well-off family in a town south of Manila but just like the rest of us, he still dreamed of mannafrom heaven. That’s why he was an avid bettor of the popular local numbers game called jueteng .

Jueteng is an illegal numbers game which had been brought to the Philippines from China. The name means flower ( jue) and bet (teng ). A bet is made up of a pair of numbers from 1 to 37. Most of the time, the chosen pair of numbers is meant to signify birthdays of the bettor’s family members. Sometimes, they are based on images in thebettor’s dream, with each image represented by a number.

With the lure of quick riches via a lucrative payout, jueteng ’s popularitycrosses social and economic boundaries. It is therefore not surprising that even a well-educated and well-respectedman like Pepe got hooked into it. But unlike most folks who were just milked dry of their last peso without ever winning, Pepe was lucky enough to win.

Pepe used the proceeds of his jueteng windfall to purchase a piece of land somewhere in Zamboanga. He livedthere for many years, helping the children cope with their miserable lives in that southern province.

However, it is ironic that while jueteng money led to the downfall of a Phillipine president and threatens thecountry’s current president, the same jueteng money was instrumental in Pepe’s efforts to improve the lives of

people in that forgotten southern town.

Pepe’s heroic deeds for the children and townsfolk of that southern town of Dapitan where he bought a piece of land from his jueteng winnings have been immortalized in various films, the latest of which was Tikoy Aguiluz’sRizal sa Dapitan.

Yes, the man we call Pepe was our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

And yes, Dr. Jose Rizal was an avid jueteng bettor.

And you know the rest of his story.

In the 80s, San Mig was a popular joint where one can enjoy a mug of cold beer. Their branch in Ali Mall in Cubao

was always packed with beer-bellied office employees, especially on payday weekends. It occupied a small spaceright across ShoeMart.

Amidst the darkness and the smoke, very few people took notice of San Mig’s unusual decor. Hanging on the wallsare cheap reproductions of oil portraits of real kings. They were all European kings. There was King Louis XIV of France. In one corner was King Philip II of Spain. Next to him was King George III of United Kingdom. Then, in onedark corner was… Oops

In one dark corner was the portrait of a man who was certainly not a king. In fact, this man even fought themonarchy after joining the army. His dignified look could pass for a king but he definitely did not enjoy a royal life.While fighting the monarchy, one of his legs was wounded while his other leg was broken by a cannonball. Then,he had to break his leg three times to make it heal well. He was also arrested twice during the Spanish inquisition.Then, he struggled for the rest of his life with chronic stomach ailment.

The Pinoy interior designer who worked on San Mig’s wall décor was probably too lazy to conduct research on theidentities of the men in those portraits. Because among the portraits of those European kings, the lazy interior designer had mistakenly included the portrait of a former soldier named Inigo.

Inigo became Ignacio after he changed his name. But Ignacio did not become a king. Oh yes, he became a prince.But he never lived in a castle. Because he was a prince of the church.

Yes, that odd painting among portraits of European kings which had been hanging on the wall of San Mig in Ali Mallfor years and which had been a mute witness to the antics of beer-worshipping and wife-fearing drunkards was theportrait of a saint..

The man on the portrait was a patron saint of soldiers.

No, it was not the portrait of San Mig’s namesake, San Miguel or Saint Michael the Archangel, although SaintMichael was also a patron saint of soldiers.

The man on the portrait was actually a Jesuit saint.

The man on the portrait was the founder of the Society of Jesus.

Yes, the man on the portrait was St. Ignatius of Loyola.

And every Atenean knows the rest of his story.

This Child of

She was born on the day of hearts, February 14. But her parents did not name her Valentina. Noteven Venus or Aphrodite. They opted for the holy-sounding Kristina Bernadette. But she did not turn out to be asaint..

Being the youngest, Kristina Bernadette captured the heart of her father. Father and daughter were inseparable.Until tragedy struck. Kristina Bernadette’s father was sent to prison. His heart ailment grew worse there.

On February 14, 1974, Valentine's Day, Kristina Bernadette celebrated her third birthday with her father in prison.On the same day, a man was exchanging hearts with a southern belle in nearby San Juan church.

Nine years later, on August 21, the man who got married in San Juan church was celebrating his birthday with hisbasketball buddies. On the same day, Kristina Bernadette’s father was killed.

Kristina Bernadette and the married man never knew each other. They lived very different lives. But in 1994,Kristina Bernadette and the married man met at work. Their first meeting blossomed into deep friendship. Somesaid that she longed for a father figure. But the friendship blossomed into romance which went beyond control.Kristina Bernadette used her heart , not her head. She decided to live with the married man.

Kristina Bernadette’s mother was furious at the relationship. How could Kristina Bernadette’s mother like a manwho celebrates his birthday every year on the death anniversary of her murdered husband? But more than this wasthe fact that the man's heart already belonged to someone else. In fact, he has a grown-up daughter in New Yorkwho was nearly Kristina Bernadette’s age. Despite her religious mother’s efforts to put an end to KristinaBernadette’s adulterous affair with the man, Kristina Bernadette had her way. It didn’t matter to Kristina Bernadettethat her decision prevented her from receiving church communion because she was openly living in sin.

It did not take long before Kristina Bernadette gave birth to her love child who was the spitting image of her live-inpartner. But Kristina Bernadette’s son was born with Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity Disorder . Her son’s birthsoftened the heart of Kristina Bernadette’s mother who announced that Kristina Bernadette’s son was her favoritegrandson.

But as in the past, Kristina Bernadette had her way. She went on with her liposuction.

But Kristina Bernadette’s relationship with her live-in partner was not meant to last. In her Ateneo accent, KristinaBernadette would always correct her live-in partner's grammatical lapses. Her live-in partner also got annoyedwhenever Kristina Bernadette would hand him a stick of Milagrosa candle every time he used the bathroom.

According to Kristina Bernadette, the candle helped drive away the stinking smell of her live-in partner's crap.Kristina Bernadette confessed that she learned this trick from her mother. And when Kristina Bernadette's live-inpartner stopped pursuing his petition for the annulment of his first marriage in San Juan church, Kristina Bernadettebegan to express doubt about her live-in partner’s sincerity in marrying her. Kristina Bernadette's heart was hurt.Their relationship turned for the worse.

Kristina Bernadette finally realized that her live-in partner could never be her savior. She decided to leave the father of her son and her live-in partner for many years: Philip Salvador.

Yes, Kristina Bernadette is the youngest daughter of President Corazon (means heart in Spanish) Aquino and thelate Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr.

And yes, Kristina Bernadette Cojuangco Aquino is the full name of Kris Aquino.

Unsolved Pinoy Mysteries

At a tender age of 17, Marcial was a war correspondent for The Manila Times. Marcial’s war experience providedhim with a treasure chest of stories which inspired him to write a movie screenplay. His screenplay was made into amovie, starring Jaime de la Rosa and a 16–year old actress named Dorothy. Helmed by renowned director Lamberto Avellana, the movie was a huge success. During the first FAMAS award ceremony in 1952, Dorothyreceived the first FAMAS trophy for best supporting actress for her role in the movie.

The only child of a US soldier and a Filipina, Dorothy was also a semi-finalist in the 1952 Miss Philippines beautycontest. It was therefore not surprising that Marcial got so enamored with Dorothy that he did everything to courther. Marcial even carried Dorothy’s make-up kit during movie shootings. Marcial became Dorothy’s dakilang alalay .

Dorothy studied pre-Law at the University of Santo Tomas but her booming movie career made it impossible for her to continue. Likewise, Marcial took up Law at the University of the Philippines but the lure of journalism ended hisdream of becoming a lawyer.

Marcial became known for his gift of gab and political skill. This led to his victory as a town mayor at a young age of 22. Meanwhile, Dorothy became popular for her acting prowess and dancing skill. This led to her victory in severalacting derbies. Marcial’s younger sister was the director of the movie which won for Dorothy her last FAMAS bestsupporting actress award.

But while Philippine politics and show business naturally intertwine, political kingpin Marcial and movie queenDorothy were not destined to be together.

Dorothy married a man named Victorino who fathered her only daughter. But their union did not last. After a seriesof unsuccessful relationships, Dorothy finally tied the knot again with an American B-movie actor-singer. In contrast,Marcial remained faithfully married all his life to an American-educated woman who bore his only son and four daughters.

But while Marcial survived the Korean War which he covered, he did not survive the war on the home front.Likewise, Dorothy did not survive her own war at home.

Both Marcial and Dorothy suffered violent deaths. Marcial was shot. Dorothy was stabbed several times.

Committed 18 years apart, the separate murders of Marcial and Dorothy made headlines several years ago.However, both murders remained unsolved to this day. Some say that identifying their killers is not the issuebecause everyone, except the authorities, seems to know the identity of their respective killers. Rumors evenabound that the masterminds in the murders of Marcial and Dorothy were related to them by affinity. But the realmystery lies in the fact that the perpetrators of these high-profile crimes remain scot-free to this day, despite theenormous clout which the victims’ respective family wields.

Some say that Marcial’s death was a result of his being branded a communist by the government. This is ironicbecause the screenplay which Marcial wrote and which won for Dorothy her first FAMAS trophy was the second ina trilogy of anti-communist movies which were produced by LVN Pictures in support of the government’s efforts tofight communism.

Dorothy’s shocking death led to embarrassing revelations about her painful personal battle. Marcial’s equallyshocking death led to well-deserved recognition of his heroic political battle.

Dorothy was killed amid rows of cars in the covered and dark parking lot of the Movie and Television Review and

Classification Board (MTRCB) building. Despite his escorts, Marcial was killed amid rows of airplanes in a wideopen space in broad daylight while descending down the tarmac of what was then known as the ManilaInternational Airport (MIA).

Of course, we all know Dorothy as Dolphy’s TV wife, Marsha.

And we all know Marcial as Cory’s real-life husband, Ninoy.

Yes, Dorothy Jones was the real name of Nida Blanca.

And yes, Marcial Bonifacio was the fictitious name on the passport of Benigno Aquino, Jr. on the day that he wasmurdered.

East and West

The Story of the Muslim Princess

Suppose that there was a Muslim princess from the flood capital of the Philippines,Malabon, who has just finished her degree in Mass Communications from the University of the Philippines withLatin honors (cum laude). Suppose that she decided to work for Discorama. Remember the Saturday afternoonshow on GMA Channel 7 with former Senator Tito Sotto, his brother Vic Sotto and comedian Joey de Leon ashosts? The Muslim princess was assigned to host the Tough Hits segment of the show. As Tough Hits girl, she didthe weekly countdown of popular songs with bastardized lyrics to elicit cheap laughs.

Soon, a female newscaster of a major TV network introduced the Muslim princess to her brother, a flight steward. After a whirlwind courtship, the Muslim princess married the flight steward who used to be a child actor whose onlyclaim to fame was playing the role of a toddler Bongbong Marcos in a Marcos bio-flick. After a couple of months,the Muslim princess and the flight steward quietly separated.

But career-wise, lady luck smiled at the Muslim princess when she was given a big break by the major TV network.She bagged the plum assignment of delivering the evening news while at the same time hosting a successful TVmagazine program which was pitted against a similar program in a rival TV network hosted by her former UPprofessor. However, the Muslim princess was such a perfectionist that it was reportedly not uncommon to seeobjects flying whenever she was unsatisfied with her TV staff’s work.

Later, the Muslim princess got married again, this time to a well-known local politician from a province south of Manila. The namesake of her father, her politician husband had grown-up children close to the Muslim princess’age and it was being talked about that his first wife lived in the same condominium building where the Muslimprincess and her new husband occupied the penthouse. The Muslim princess’ husband also reportedly decided to

become a Muslim so that he could have more than one wife. They were blessed with two sons..

The Muslim princess’ husband soon retired from politics and became contented with being a magician and a humantoothpaste applier for his Muslim princess' toothbrush. (Incidentally, the Muslim princess once appeared in a Close-Up Toothpaste TV commercial.) Now, the Muslim princess and her magician husband ( He could make a big Cokebottle disappear before your eyes.) are happily separated. Later, the Muslim princess’ husband was accused of being responsible for the disappearance of his close friend.

The Story of the Black Nazarene Devotee

Suppose that there was a Black Nazarene devotee from the tamaraw capital of thePhilippines who claimed to have graduated with a business degree from the University of the East despite hiscritics’ contention that he just bought his college diploma from the sidewalk of C. M. Recto Avenue. He worked as aradio reporter for a major radio and TV network. With perseverance, he was given a Sunday morning radio show.Later, he would occasionally pinch-hit for announcers whenever they would not show up for their radio program. Healso hosted a daily radio serialization of movies for a program dubbed as Sineradyo.

His biggest TV break came when a TV network hired him for a top-rated showbiz-oriented TV show called See-Tru.The show was hosted by gossip queen, Lourdes Jimenez-Carvajal who was more popularly known as IndayBadiday or Ate Luds to her legions of fans. The Black Nazarene devotee’s appearance was only through voice-over (and he was never really seen by the TV audience) and it was always preceded by his usual line: “ Ate Luds, may

phone-in question po tayo rito galing kay …”. Yes, his job involved reading TV audience’s phone-in questions toInday Badiday’s movie star guests. However, despite the TV show’s enormous popularity, it was immediatelycancelled after one of the show’s female guests hurled an ashtray at another female guest.

Later, the Black Nazarene devotee married a lady executive of the radio and TV network where he had moved upto become the host of its early morning radio show. They adopted a girl and had a younger son later.

Never The Twain Shall MeetSuppose that the Muslim princess and the Black Nazarene devotee met in the same office where they both work.Suppose also that the Black Nazarene devotee personally chose the Muslim princess as one of the principalsponsors for his adopted daughter’s wedding to one of the members of the staff of his widely popular TV program.

Suppose further that both the Muslim princess and the Black Nazarene devotee became elected government

officials and they both decided to run for the same government office on the same year. They both run for say, thepresidency of the Philippines. No, that’s being too ambitious. Okay, suppose that they both run for the position of Vice President under opposing political parties. Who would you vote for? The Muslim princess or the BlackNazarene devotee?

If you would vote for the Muslim princess, you just wasted your vote. If you would vote for the Black Nazarenedevotee, you are good at spotting a winner (but it does not mean that you did not also waste your vote).

Because the honorary Muslim princess is former Senator Loren Legarda who lost her bid for the Vice Presidency of the Philippines in the 2002 national elections.

And yes, the Black Nazarene devotee who helps carry the replica of the Black Nazarene image barefoot andwearing only a white undershirt (sans bullet-proof vest ) during the annual Quiapo procession as part of his religiousdevotion (yes, he still does it up to this day) is Noli de Castro, current Vice President of the Philippines.

And you know the rest of their stories.

This guitar hero was born at 3 in the morning on November 18.

His mother was a Pinay government employee while his father was a seaman. He has two siblings: Rick and Tracy.

When he was 11 years old, he took piano lessons. But he did not like the teacher. So he quit.

His older brother, Rick, had a vast collection of guitars and records. When he turned 15, he got himself his ownguitar . Although it was an inexpensive one, it sparked his passion for playing the guitar .
