From the NYT: Estrada Begins Unlikely Comeback in the Philippines
Photo from Philstar
It was an improbable sight: a slightly hunched man, with a gait that suggested either his age (72) or infirmity (a bad back and knees that required replacement surgery), beating up a taller opponent no older than 30.
The older man ducked as the younger one tried to bang him with a piece of wood. He cut him down with a right to the abdomen and a left hook to the face, sending his adversary stumbling to the ground. Then another opponent got smacked in the face and kicked in the midsection with one of those bad knees. Yet another came along, and he, too, went down, crashing into a table. . .

I. A tragedy worse than Ondoy and Pepeng combined.

H,plus I’d add: unimaginable. Ever since the impeachment in 2000, I always thought wyatt erap and Ch. 2 had a bad blood,in spite of wyatt erap being an in-law of the owners of Dos. Surreal,bizarre,what the. I’m sure ABS will later claim (as always) that this is another major-major block buster chenez. Is there a way to find out if they are telling the truth about their box-office movies? This smells a lot like wyatt erap’s campaign stunt. Has he forgotten what happened 9 years ago,his impeachment,trial and conviction for plunder,the violent EDSA tres, and his pardon (meaning he knows in his heart he is guilty as hell)? Have they forgotten that easily? Why is chavit not in this movie? “Tried to bang him with a piece of wood.”–duly noted. The writer must have meant in Tagalog, “Tinangka syang hambalusin ng isang pirasong kahoy.”
