Willie Nep for
senator |
|
IF you feel like boycotting the senatorial election
on May 14, watch the master impressionist Willie Nepomuceno tomorrow
at the Manila Hotel. You may change your mind, or you may confirm
your feelings. Either way, you’ll have great fun.
The Kapihan sa Manila and
Samahang Plaridel have joined purses to mark Kapihan’s 22nd
anniversary on April 23 at the famous hotel. Their idea of a
celebration is to unleash Willie Nep onstage and do impressions of
the 30 candidates for the Senate, or most of them anyway.

Some people may still think that
slavery is some evil thing that happened long, long ago to Africans
