The truth about Ely and Diane

Philstar.com - Tuesday, February 10

"I will always be his No. 1 fan and he will always be the love of my life; I will forever continue to support him, fiercely defend him, care for him, back him up, protect him and uphold him."

Blind items have been coming out about the marital status of the vocalist of a popular (“dis”)band and his manager wife, to the effect that the singer has a new girlfriend who is pregnant while his wife is said to have found her own new happiness with the vocalist of another band with whom she’s living-in.

The items are a giveaway, right?

Yes, those being referred to are no other than Ely Buendia (who’s having another reunion concert with the other Eraserheads guys — Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro — on March 7 at the Mall Of Asia Concert Ground) and Diane who have a son, Eon.

The blind items (in the tabs) are not true, according to Diane who sent Funfare the following statement “to set the record straight” once and for all:

Though Ely and I are not together as a couple, we remain the best of friends. He’s a great, great brilliant man and I am honored to be working with him as his sole representative and manager, not to mention also my esteemed partner in artistic endeavors. I still manage his band, Pupil, the best band in the land.

We have nothing but the utmost respect for each other. He is family and what we have is greater than any form of relationship. He is the best father, a brilliant artist, a good man, a superb writer — he is nothing short of a genius. I will always be his No. 1 fan and he will always be the love of my life; I will forever continue to support him, fiercely defend him, care for him, back him up, protect him and uphold him.

Anyone who attempts to do him wrong will be answerable to me. There is nothing I will not do for him and our son. We will continue to work together as business associates, co-writers and, soon, film directors (watch out for that!).

Ely will conquer the world and I will stand by him and by his side.

There. Loud and clear?

Remembering Evelio Javier

Some of our heroes may have been more brilliant or achieved more greatly, but I find it hard to think of any who lived more purely and more single mindedly than Evelio... his commitment to democracy, to social justice and to a life among the poor in our land. Februay 11, 2009 in Panay Island, Philippines is Evelio B. Javier Day. It is the 22nd Anniversary of the assassination of Evelio Javier. It was a stunning and decisive event towards our eventual liberation from Martial Law later that February 1986. Many in our Ateneo community remember meeting Evelio’s body at the airport two days later, and the Mass and the long march from Baclaran to the Ateneo de Manila on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1986. We had a Mass at sunset in the field beside the Blue Eagle Gym and ended the Mass with the electrifying experience of hearing Fr. Jose A. Cruz, S.J. read for the first time in public the letter of the CBCP on the elections. Evelio B. Javier was born to Everardo Autajay Javier of Hamtic and ...

Many Feathers

Many feathers. In the silence of many feathers. - Robert Bly Today my window spoke to me in the language of leaves, told me of gravity and the tired hands of twilight day after day pulling at the trees’ thousand fingers, the trees with their lifetime of cycles, the wind, its invisible wings. I have seen things only words will outlive , it said. But even words kneel before the silence of feathers. Once a poet peered inside the hollow of a tree and discovered words, and now I steal from him, repeat his curved consonants, the illusion of presence. In the secret, dim light I run my hands over the carcass of some dead creature he might have seen still heaving its last sighs. A window knows nothing of the sorrows of speech, the weight of things breaking as wind carries them away from tongue. Darkness moves against darkness, night dresses its sleepy body in shadows, whispers its stories, and my window speaks what it sees. While I see only what is spoken: A poet peers inside a tree and sees ca...

The Evening Star

Tonight, for the first time in many years, there appeared to me again a vision of the earth's splendor: in the evening sky the first star seemed to increase in brilliance as the earth darkened until at last it could grow no darker. And the light, which was the light of death, seemed to restore to earth its power to console. There were no other stars. Only the one whose name I knew as in my other life I did her injury: Venus, star of the early evening, to you I dedicate my vision, since on this blank surface you have cast enough light to make my thought visible again.
