Lifetime Achievement Award for my Brother Dante: NU107 Rock Awards, Introduction Speech…

by Cousin Hoagy, Dec 2001

Here’s a guy that began his radio career in the light of the Martial Law years. He was the neighbor of my cousin, Johnny in Pasay, near Park Avenue and Libertad. I always got along with him. He was a natural when he began his career at DzRJ in Santa Mesa.

He had one characteristic that makes a good rock jock. He loved music. He ate up everything going on. I remember him bringing me a record of American Country & Western from Nashville, Tennessee and begging to hear it on the air.

Howlin’ Dave spent much of the 1970s getting his chops down, announcing style and gaining a taste for PINOY ROCK which was a very important feature of life in Martial Law. When the show, “Pinoy Rock & Rhythm,” was developed by Charlie Brown and Double A. It was mainly about the live Pinoy Rock scenes that thrived in Olongapo City and Manila. Angeles City was still just putas.

T. TINIO

from clubdredd’s website

…1974 brought the first breakup of Juan dela Cruz, although some of the members kept on touring. Eventually, they all had a dispute with Dodie Gonzales, their manager, and the brother of Wally. However, Dodie owned the rights to the name Juan dela Cruz. So Mike and company (essentially the original band) got Bo Razon back and renamed themselves “T.Tinio”, which, although it sounds like it was meant to be an insult to Wally and Dodie (and no one believed it wasn’t), was actually from a Pampanggo manager they had had, named Teodoro Tinio, insists Mike to this day.

Medical News from our neighbor – para sa mga doctor nating kasama (hindi si dominic na electrical engineer, hehehe). Medicare Scare: News from Thailand… isang babaing na diagnose na may tumor sa tiyan ang inoperahan sa Thailand ng mga espesyalista doon. Nung binuksan nila ang tiyan ng ale ay nakita nila ang isang 6 month old fetus na buhay. Sinara agad nila ang tiyan ng ale at nag-apologize for the wrong diagnosis. Buti naman at di namatay ang bata.

Ako di na rin umiinom… wala kasi akong kainuman eh. hehehe… mabuti na rin at na-co-control ko na yun. Yung pagkain ko rin medyo controlado ko na ever since dumating ako from the Philippines last February. Napansin kasi ng mga kapit bahay ko na malaking tinaba ko. Napansin ko rin kasi nahirapan nakong yumuko… hehehe. At saka, di ko na masara ang mga pantalon ko ng maayos. At saka, ang sama ng hitsura ko kapag naka tuck-in ang polo shirt – bumubuka ang mga butones sa bandang tiyan. Hehehe… bihira na rin akong kumain ng prito at ng karne (walang northern meat dito sa singapore, di ko alam kung bakit). Puro fruits na lang sa gabi o kaya seafood o kaya soup. Kadalasan Seafood Soup. Hehehe… wala kasing fruit soup dito eh. Seafood Fruit? Wala rin. Sea Coconut na Dessert meron!  I digress.

A PASSAGE TO INDIA

Kakadating ko lang galing ng India. Mahigit isang linggo ako sa init, alikabok at mabangong simoy ng hangin (hehehe). Height ng Summer ngayon doon at umaabot ng 43 degress C sa shade at mahigit 50 degrees C sa direct sunlight. Isipin mo na lang kung anong pakiramdam kapag sumakay ka sa kotse na nakabilad sa araw sa India… Akala ko mainit na sa Pilipinas, mayroon pa palang mas malala. Piso na lang, impyerno na. Niyaya nga akong mag-golf ng Distributor – tumaggi ako. Next time na lang… mga winter time malamang (hehehe). Pero nag 2 bottles kami sa golf club nya sa Delhi. Spoiled din ang mga golfer doon: may 2 taga-hanap ng bola, 1 caddy at 1 taga-payong at taga-hawak ng flag. Parang may basketball team ka sa fairway.

LEYTE ON MY MIND

i used to go to leyte a lot a few years ago. ormoc in particular because we did the leyte geothermal plant for pnoc. in the early 90’s wala pang ferry from cebu to ormoc, kaya via tacloban ang flight ko from manila. we used to go around the city and visit the leyte landing site of mc arthur. nice place.

i loved the trip from ormoc to tacloban dahil maganda ang kalye at maraming nakikita. when they started the cebu ormoc ferries, it was easier to travel to site via cebu. the trip from ormoc to cebu is just 2 hours, faster and safer by water (if you compare it with the 3 hour trip by car from the tacolban airport to ormoc).

byahero din ako – i did a lot of projects in davao, dumaguete, cebu, leyte, bicol, cagayan de oro and a lot of other nameless places blurred by so many trips to unknown sites… minsan sa sobrang dami ng byahe mo, all the places you go start to look the same…

THE KNOB

My favorite joke of all time…

A lady in her late 40’s went to a plastic surgeon for a face lift. Thedoctor told her of a new procedure called “The Knob.”

This small knob is planted on the back of a woman’s head and can be turnedto tighten up the skin to produce the effect of a brand new facelift forever.

Of course, the woman wanted “The Knob.”

Fifteen years later the woman went back to the surgeon with 2 problems: “All these years everything had been working just fine. I’ve had to turn theknob on lots of occasions and I’ve loved the results. But now I’ve developed two annoying problems. First of all, I’ve got these terrible bags under my eyes and the knob won’t get rid of them.”

The doctor looked at her and said, “Those aren’t bags, those are your breasts.”

She replied, “Well, I guess that explains the goatee.”
