Allan's time not up yet

HEARD the news of fellow mediaman Allan Sison’s latest brush with death at presstime. They got to him this time, — but not quite. He’s recovering at the hospital from two (three?) bullet wounds coming from a .45 cal. pistol fired by two assassins almost pointblank sometime before midnight last Friday. Lucky, lucky guy.
Allan strikes some fellow newsmen as too smug and cocksure but to me, he has always been a friendly, warm chap. He might simply be a confident, frank broadcaster given to sporadic bursts of emotions. In Pilipino, mabait pero madaling mapuno. His kind, I can get along with. 
In fact, I can get along well with even his ‘enemies” among our colleagues in the Press, at least those of them who do not hide behind a fake façade of righteousness when they’re in the announcer’s booth and are just being themselves. No, let’s not name names here anymore.
Sometimes, I think it’s the hypocrites who hate Allan’s guts. So do I, I mean, abhorring these media hypocrites who can’t even admit to getting bribed – and living and loving every minute of it!
Now, we’re getting carried away again
