JERRY Barican was a UP Law firebrand, one of the twenty-one 1978 Metro Manila Laban bets headed by Ninoy Aquino, in what campaign manager Senator Tanny Tanada called a “mad adventure” and, like Tanny, attended Harvard Law, if my memory is true. Jerry is reported to be in a bad way in a hospital after a massive stroke. Even gone? Prayers please.

I met Dr. Teban Latorre in Solaire (where I stutter-dancexercise) last Monday and he told me about a devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus (like the Shroud of Turin) of Manopello, Italy, to be here from September 10 to 17: to pray for Jerry but, at secular Solaire was a wide screen showing a Pinoy FIBA game in Spain last Monday.
