This is for Pablo Tariman and Chief Persi Rueda-Acosta...

...and all the others in a cast of nearly a hundred who survived a movie within a movie that happened in 24 hours in Calbayog City, Samar, Jan. 17-18, 2013. To quote Chief Public Attorney Persida Rueda-Acosta, "I believe in fairy tales. They do happen in real life." Atty. Acosta, may your tribe increase. Meanwhile, let us sleep the sleep of the just.
