January 13, 2009

Dear Nene,

How are you?

First, we would like to inform you that together with other kababayans I miss your advisory column Ayon kay Nene very much. May I also inform you I have kept past issues of Munting Nayon and have used them several times to answer some questions of our kababayans. I am happy that your column is now available on the Munting Nayon website.

I met her when she came here for a short vacation with her relatives while she was also on a short vacation in Germany where her other relatives are staying. We got married after a long distance relationship of three years. We now have two children...

Corazon Dee, PhD

Dear Nene,

            Thus spoke veteran actress Boots Anson  Roa when she heard of the passing away of Bella Flores early Sunday morning.
