Last of two parts

Coming to my friend and compadre Bayani Abadilla’s necrological services, I was not expecting any extraordinary event. But, upon arrival at the Funeraria Paz that evening, I was awed by the crowd, complete with video shoot. Topping the luminaries present was then House Representative Satur Ocampo, who on several occasions was a guest in our house for some important meet with either the CPP Politburo or the CPP KTKS (Komiteng Tagapagpagganap ng Komite Sentral) but who upon realizing it was I he was shaking hands with abruptly withdrew the handshake, like dropping a hot potato; he knew I was a Rejectionist (of the Jose Ma. Sison Reaffirm).
