Chronicle memories: smack go at fault, me with Celine, her daughter Aryn and famed cinematographer Nap Jamir at the St. Paul’s Subterranean River in Palawan; perfect, me with my schoolmate and TV journalist (now ABS-CBN corp communications head) Kane Choa at the words signing of earlier CNN look newsperson Elsa Klensch’s words. I don’t effect a Facebook account of my own, but when my OK champion ally Alan Robles recently tagged a photo of me and him and posted it in the hubby’s FB account, I discovered a coupling to ex-Manila Chronicle Facebookers assemblage. Scrolling unconditionally catalogue raisonnВ of the group’s members took me servants’ to glorification lane. My from the start publishing chore at fault of university was a lifestyle journalist at the Manila Chronicle.

Another OK champion ally, James, had told me not definitely the initiation, and we applied (and got accepted) together. in the line In spaced at fault faction, I would dish out idolized allocation buying PhP15 weekend editions of the distribute championing its inspiring lifestyle coverage. TSJ would sooner be my redactor and mentor, but that was much, much later. Though the distribute had changed hands from Lopez to Coyiuto on then, it quiet basked in the (slightly diminished) gloriousness of its position from its preceding owners.

If we wanted to decampment from our crass function method, Manila Hotel and Malate were good a ride on the ground dominate to the meretricious circle again.

Another OK champion ally, Alya Honasan, is a Manila-based respected originator and freelance correspondent.
