Or most likely, he would give me a friendly smack on the nape. During the wake of Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero years ago, he got irked listening to the endless praises and honors being bestowed upon the renowned Filipino playwright by politicians, peers and colleagues. Jess was adamant because he knew when Wilfrido was still alive only a few extended a helping hand during the artist’s times of needs.

Or most likely, he would give me a friendly smack on the nape. During the wake of Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero years ago, he got irked listening to the endless praises and honors being bestowed upon the renowned Filipino playwright by politicians, peers and colleagues. Jess was adamant because he knew when Wilfrido was still alive only a few extended a helping hand during the artist’s times of needs.
