LAGALAG: THE FINAL JOURNEY
Four years after beginning their journey, the Lagalag notebooks are now on their way back to where it all began. I was on my way to Cancun, Mexico to attend the 16th Conference of Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Oyet invited me to visit him in San Francisco on my way back home to the Philippines. He asked me to bring the Lagalag notebooks. I said yes but first, The Dafinator who has been the guardian of the notebooks for almost 2 years now must turn-over them to me.
That turn-over happened in a less than a minute. But the inside story is it almost did not happen and on the last possible day too. The Dafinator and my schedules just would not fit despite repeated attempts to do an eyeball. Finally, the green Honda Civic arrived at the lobby of the Discovery Suites in Ortigas and the man called Randy handed the bag containing the 2 precious notebooks. And I rushed back to Nueva Ecija to pack my luggage and scrambled to find a car to bring me back in Manila and catch my flight.
The notebooks, accompanied by a copy of Mondo Marcos, are now in Cancun where they will stay until December 10 when it will continue its journey back to where it all began...

ATANG
Para sa 2 pasahero ng motorsiklo na nagkataong makasalubong ng trak na minamaneho ng lasing na driver...
Para kay Toleng na biglang iniliko ang traysikel sa kanto...
Para kay Tata Terong na ama ng kainuman kong si Kuya Kiel...
Para sa tatay ni Kuya Elgie...
Para kay Caloy na pinaslang sa Laguna...
At higit sa lahat, para kay Julie na sumuko sa karahasan ng mundo at kinitil ang buhay...
ANG ATANG NA PANSIT sa itaas ay hinubog sa kamay at nagsilbing hapunan sa isang restoran sa may Retiro na may pangalang Shanghai Hand-pulled Noodles. Tamang-tama sa aking panlasa ang malapot at malasang sabaw, ang malambot na sahog na karne ng baka, at ang bagong gawang pansit. Nawa'y karapatdapat na alay sa mga nauna nang kinuha...
