My mom died with "class"---as my doctor brother put it. I did not know what he meant by it, but I guess it had to do with how she kept the pain to herself and tried not to look as if she was suffering or in great pain. I did not know that there was still a kind of "class" in people while dying.

Five arguments in defense of the Macabebes and their "infamous" contribution to Aguinaldo's capture: (1) Aguinaldo's revolution was not national and homogenous. (2) The capture of Aguinaldo greatly reduced hostilities and death. (3) Disloyalty to Aguinaldo was not disloyalty to the country; neither Aguinaldo nor his revolution was the country. (4) Aguinaldo's quick swearing of allegiance to Washington was an express affirmation of the Macabebes' justifiable act. (5) Macabebes were not traitors in the strictest sense of the term.

In the early part of the century, to have a priest in the family meant singular esteem and distinction. Priests were generally accorded with reverence and their families looked up to them with respect. Becoming a priest, after all, involved years of disciplined education, character formation, and profound spiritual preparations under spartan conditions, making one, in effect, more than your average ordinary person.

The kid was better dressed and did not seem to be poor or in need, unlike the malodorous homeless or jobless who terrorized subway riders from time to time. Somehow musicians like this kid entertain the commuting folk as they make their home after a hard day's work.

What could be happening, I asked myself as images of the bombings a few years earlier of the World Trade Center and of the Federal Building in Oklahoma crossed my mind. I tried to reassure myself. It's just an accident. It's just a fire. It will soon be put under control.

"Please, ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelt..." To be addressed as ladies and gentlemen by a high-salaried pilot was sweet to the ears, considering the fact that many of us onboard the plane were going to face our life, or bitter fate, as domestic helpers, security guards, street sweepers, and dish washers.
