THE police should stop crowing about how Manny Pacquiao makes us crime-free when he fights. Some naughty types may unkindly suggest that it is cuz the cops are all watching, not sinning.

On March 10, 1978, when I was editing the Malayang Pilipinas during that LABAN poll period, Ronnie Nathanielzs made Ninoy Aquino shine on TV. He was assisted by Pocholo Romualdez, Manny Salak and Teddy Owen. I know that Metro Manila stood still and perhaps so did the rest of the nation. We should forever be grateful to Ronnie for not repressing the irrepressible SuperBoy. Not that it was possible.
