End of an era

Manila Bulletin

April 24, 2025

Days before last Tuesday the 22nd, I already had a headline for this little essay I was still going to write.

It would be about the passing of two icons in the entertainment industry, Pilita Corrales and Nora Aunor, within days of each other.

Who could have known that the end of the life and papacy of Pope Francis on April 21 would make that headline even more dramatic?

Pope Francis is now part of world history after a 13-year reign.

Meanwhile, for fans of Pilita and Ate Guy, it's the end of an era, the era of two performers who were never anything or anyone but themselves.
