THE CURRENT COMMENTS ON PHILIP LUSTRE, JR’S HEART-STOPPING ACCOUNT OF THE ASSASSINATION OF NINOY AQUINO. PHILIP CALLS IT MURDER. WILL THERE EVER BE A CLOSURE TO THIS TERRIBLE TRAGEDY? LIKE THE TERRIBLE PLAZA MIRANDA BOMBING? I AM HOPING THERE MIGHT BE. TWO PROMINENT FILAMS ARE PROBABLY BLAZING THE TRAIL – GOOD FRIENDS OF ATTY. RODEL RODIS, WHOM I REFER TO AS “COURAGE AND BRAVERY INCARNATE”. • Angel Bernales Amatosa, Natividad Caperiña-Francia and 73 others like this. • Ed Romero: Very relevant narrative of this this terrible event. I was so angry then at Marcos his greedy & without class wife & kisser -ass Ver. I didnt even know, Philip you were so involved in reporting this unfortunate event. Great job my batchmate-friend!

Thirty three years , I am curious on what would be the Gift waiting for the Queen when she reaches her throne in Hades , ahh the King of his business empire here on earth will be awarded the biggest Ball of fire , i could almost hear the howling of the Conductor Ver in Hades ! i know the Exodus of the other two is approaching , the curtain of the stage is almost closing !

I know this for a fact. In the 1970s, Luther Custodio was the NISA (National Intelligence and Security Agency) regional director for Eastern Visayas. His office was in Tacloban City. I used to work as editor of The Reporter newspaper in Tacloban and I occasionally ran into him during news coverages. But aside from being NISA chief of Region 8 (Eastern Visayas), he was also the caretaker of the Olot, Tolosa, residence of First Lady Imelda Marcos. In 1979 when I brought singers from Manila led by Haji Alejandro, Lirio Vital, Dale Adriatico, etc. -- including Pete and Boots Anson Roa as hosts -- for the show Pagdayaw 79 -- I needed a good place to accommodate the performers, the production people, their assistants, the director, etc. Tacloban City didnt have enough rooms for this big number of guests, so we picked out Imeldas sprawling beachfront houses in Olot, Tolosa, Leyte, as possible accommodation. To be able to use these houses, I had to secure permission from no less than Luther Custodio. Everybody in Leyte knew him to be trusted caretaker of Imeldas houses in Olot. A few years after that, Luther was promoted chief of the Aviation Security Command at the Cebu International Airport. And shortly before the return of Ninoy Aquino, he was transferred to the Manila International Airport also as Avsecom chief. Yesterday at 5:36am · Like · 5 • Edong Pangarap: Sharing!
