Slowly but surely the rehabilitation plan of flag-carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is taking its final shape. 

It’s this time of the year when banks and corporates are reporting their net income. It ‘s also stockholders’ eeting time.

I do understand that given the situation we’re all in, we have to be creative. But, no matter how I think of it, I can’t get enough of the news update about the flag-carrier going into food delivery.

Nope! It’s not the 72-minute long 2018 documentary composed from the 90 hours of “lost” footage which legendary William Wyler used for his 1943 documentary “The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress.”

I would have titled this piece “Babalik Ka Rin” but decided against it, lest that I be accused of copyright infringement.

This is a prologue of my piece last week about the on-going reorganization and restructuring of positions at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

Pax, the 13-year-old son of Marivic, had been wishing to have breakfast with his family in some restaurant  to celebrate his birthday.
