Bad Burn Anger - Marben ‘94

Posted on November 21st, 2004 in Entertainment by Admin

Bad Burn“Nature Is Pissed”.So declared the black-and-white sticker on bassist Hendrick Gonzales’ four-string. And the rest of Bad Burn who performed their usual hardcore set at Mayric’s Sunday Grabe Sunday (SGS) last March seemed to live up to the stickers message.

Though the audience was sparse for SGS, vocalist Marben Romero (TAU GAMMA PHI UST Chapter Batch 1994) shoved his strong lyrics into everyone’s faces including that of Sandwich vocalist Marc Abaya, whose younger brother, Dave Abaya strummed out prickly chords on his flying V guitar. Gonzales’ bass guitar rocked with attitude, churning the intense riffs. Mixed with drummer Robert dela Cruz’s vigor on the drum set, you’ve got yourself one hardcore band minus the excessive noise. It is this particular quality about Bad Burn that puts them way over their kind, blending sharp music with strong lyrics.

A Downfall Chronicled: Lawyer authors a book on the life of the whistle blower

For writer Atty. Jay C. de Castro, MDG (Tau Gamma Phi UST Chapter Batch 1973) , nothing can ever suppress the truth. In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times, he analyzed the events that led to the fall of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada. The chronology of events is outlined in his new book, At Tumestigo Ang Asintado: Gov. Luis Chavit Singson .

It will be remembered that Singson, Estrada’s bosom buddy started it all. The former governor accused the president of the republic to be the lord of all jueteng lords, that which led to the impeachment trial, and eventually, Estrada’s downfall.
