THE 31st ASEAN SUMMIT COMES TO MANILA

but during the dry runs and before the orange barriers came, the women of ASEAN wove stories in their purple shawls 


Bulan too came and went from the ASEAN Youth Forum, told his story in between hazy brews and burnt meat from Maginhawa   



there was SEAFish for Justice convening in Ferzal except Thien, a discourse on life with dignity in blurry lines   


went home to a Convention that got struck by a tropical depression, came back to a Sunday market for the schublig and grilled squid


then the leaders came in blazing sirens and armed escorts, corporate greed squeezing their people out of places to go
