I bumped into Ariel Mayola yesterday at SM in Dagupan City. I asked him how his first cousin Danny Mayola --the City's prolific long time newsstand owner.
Ariel said Danny - who lived in the notorious slum area's Aling - died three months ago.
"What?! Ano ang kinamatay niya?" I posed.
Ariel - a street toughie who lived too in the same slum - mimicked with his right hand feeding his mouth with food.
"Wala nang makain, Pare!"
"Magmula nang ipinagbubungkal iyang mga drainage diyan sa Fernandez Avenue, halos wala ng pumaparada na kotse para bumili ng diyaryo niya," Ariel explained.
REST IN PEACE, MANG DANNY!
