watch a re-run of ryan-ryan. leo valdez sings that love song from the pop ballet rama-hari.
bango ng champaka, the chorus wells up. nalimbag sa alaala, the song meanders on.
bien lumbera, the librettist, hangs out masterful line after line as casually as a grisly washer woman flings out sheet after sweet, scented sheet of linens on a line.
ang pansamantala, the ephemeral, naging walang hanggang, becomes eternal.
