AT A recent showbiz party, hindi napigilang mag-flash back sa alaala ng isang co-writer ang inatenan niyang college reunion many years ago. Isa kasi sa mga mahahalagang panauhin ang naging tropa niya sa kolehiyo, common-law wife of a famous actor-politician, who was surrounded by the entertaimment press when she arrived.
Seated right next to her table, saglit na nakatsika ng reporter ang celebrity guest amidst the loud noise of the live band. Parang ibinalik ang reporter noong huli silang magkita, Christmastime ‘yon sa mismong bahay ng kanyang barkada in the eastern part of Metro Manila.
Came the uwian time. Mukhang hindi sanay ang celebrity sa “pakimkim” na isa nang nakasanayang tradisyon sa press. Pero in fairness, hindi naman umuwing luhaan ang kanyang mga bisita who each took home something.
Na kakulay ng political color ng kanyang dyowa.
