Seven Years Ago in GENSAN...

2000 A.D.:

Onemig Bondoc (who?) was still a popular matinee idol,

San Mig Light still came in the old bottle design,

I still had blonde streaks (yikes!) in my hair,


and


Darlene Antonino was a newly-married Custodio,
knocking down beers with the visitors from Manila,

the farthest thing from her mind,
knocking out Manny Pacquiao in a congressional election in 2007.
