THE USUAL curiosity as a cat query in a funeral wake for a showbiz celeb: “Sinong mga dumating (Who came to pay last respects)?”
The death of entertainment journalist Danny Vibas isn’t spared.
On the first night of his wake, award-winning actor Pen Medina, Danny’s longtime theater buddy since the Teatro Kabataan was around together with visual artist Bon Labora, entertainment journalists Susan Claire Agbayani and Art Tapalla, filmmaker Arman Reyes, movie scribe Anthony Solis, and of course, the Tesoros and the Vibases and other Dan’s kith and kin.
The second night, apart from me, saw two other writers who sport the same name “Jocelyn,” Valle and Dimaculangan, the latter has just moved in to a new communication research job in an Aussie-operated financing company while still maintaining a part-time stint at pep.ph.
Ace Vibas, Dan’s youngest sister informed last night that the officers and members of TEAM (The Entertainment and Arts Media), the movie press org where he was affiliated, were supposed to come today.
