:(
atty felipe medina - former chairman of kapisanan ng broadkaster ng pilipinas, former general manager of RPN9, the first who introduced the concept of dubbing foreign telenovelas way back in 60s, assistant and lawyer of james lindenberg who's the father of philippine TV, my professor in strategies and techniques in TV programming last sem - died last saturday, which we only got to know this afternoon.
he with the sarcastic/hearty laugh, whose smiles an instant treat to the class because he's often on his usual grumpy old ways, he who always went on a lamentation re. the sorry situation of phil TV. quiet student as i was, he called me on our what turned out to be our last meeting. "miss echavez. i've never heard your voice."
this is so sad. even when we were having classes, he was always leaning on the board because his chest/back hurt too much. he had undergone a major operation right before the 1st sem kicked in so he was a bit sickly at that time. we told him to just rest but he said he'd finish the semester. ang galing nya magturo, we all learned so much. he was frail and gaunt but he gave his all.
then this late afternoon, my bestfriend and her boyfriend broke up :( those two were love personified, but they had to end in such a horrible way. even i, who felt so infuriated with what he recently has been doing to my soul sis, had to butt in, and yeah. i got the sms confrontation of a lifetime :(
