Mayroon pala kasing isang benefit concert para sa isang kaibigan na namatay sa isang aksidente. Ang pangalan niya ay Elmer “Cords” Cordero, Batch ’92, Civil Enginnering ang kinuha nya sa UPLB. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko siya kilala, pero parang pamilyar ang pangalan nya, at saka kung taga-elbi naman siya, siguradong nakita ko siya sa campus n’un, dahil hindi nagkalayo ang aming mga batch, ’94 ako eh…isa pa, pagkakataon ko na ring makakita ng mga dating kasamahan sa unibersidad.
Naging okay naman ang program sa tribute, kumustahan dito, kumustahan doon, tapos marami nga akong nakita uli na mga kakilala. Nagbalik muli ang mga alaala n’ung nasa kolehiyo pa ko, hehehe, da best talaga! Biruan nga namin n’ung mga kaibigan ko, sana lang naman sa susunod naming pagkikita, huwag naman tungkol sa isang namatay ang okasyon…
Nagkaroon akong mapanood uli ang grupo na “Tambisan sa Sining”, bihira ko kasi silang mapanood, kalimitan, sa mga rally pa, eh ngayon medyo, ‘di na ako masyadong aktibo dito…okay din naman ‘yung mga ibang banda na tumugtog, pero mas gusto ko pa rin kung original na kanta nila ang parati nilang tugtugin…
Tapos, medyo may reklamo lang ako, wehehehe, ‘di naman talaga reklamo, hiritan lang namin sa lamesa namin, sabi ko, “wala bang tutugtog ng rosas ng digma dito?”
Narinig n’ung iba, pero ngumingiti lang, gusto rin siguro nila ‘yung kanta, kaso, mahirap isingit sa programa ng concert…hanggang sa matapos na ang concert, wala pa ring tumugtog…
N’ung pauwi na kami, nagpaalam na sa isa’t-isa, tapos hirit pa rin sa “rosas ng digma”, tapos, nagulat ‘yung isang bagong kakilala kasi, sabi niya, siya rin, gusto nya ‘yung kanta na ‘yun…kwentuhan uli, tapos sabi ko, meron pang mas magandang kanta, sabi ko ‘yung awiting “I could have said”…namula siya, tapos ngumiti ng pagkatamis-tamis, ‘yun pala, siya ‘yung kumanta n’un! Taga-elbi din siya!
Kagulona ang mga sumunod na pangyayari, ‘di namin akala na kasama namin siya, grabeh! At siyempre, picture dito, picture doon, beso-beso, kamayan at autograph! Nagpakatotoo kami ever!
Eto po pruweba, siya si Maria Elizabeth Alejo-Aytin, “Betsy” o “Ysab” ang palayaw niya…da best!
Ako, Betsy (Ysab), Ana, Nemesis (mga bago kong katrabaho)
I could have said
Musikang Bayan
I have seen so much faces as I walk to my age
But there’s someone I can never compare
You have the eyes of compassion and the voice of the truth
For you were born out in the midst of the struggle
Something makes me feel this strange
Somehow I long for you
As I’ve been watching you from the day till night
You were singing the songs of the people
And the echo resounded to my thoughts, to my soul
To my music, it ever continued
Something makes me look at you so differently
Somehow I wanted to be beside you
As thousands march the streets and the red flags were waving
We’re alongside the oppressed and disheartened
You have vowed not to leave them as we get all the beatings
From a state that doesn’t care
But you made it clear to me
You made me feel the sweet things of freedom
I’ve been thinking of you, a beauty so perfect
You were one with the struggle of the people
But before you have left to the hills and the mountains
I wish I could have said I love you
As I’ve been watching you from the day till night
You were singing the songs of the people
And the echo resounded to my thoughts, to my soul
To my music, it ever continued
Something makes me look at you so differently
Somehow I wanted to be beside you
As thousands march the streets and the red flags were waving
We’re alongside the oppressed and disheartened
You have vowed not to leave them as we get all the beatings
From a state that doesn’t care
But you made it clear to me
You made me feel the sweet things of freedom
You made me feel
Feel the sweet things
The sweet things of freedom
Sweet things of freedom
