Raffy Japa
Peter Atencio
This guy came from UP. Aktibista siya. He chose to be a sportswriter. The first hippie sportswriter I ever worked with. Coming to work in long hair, beard and all and writing sports. You wouldn't think he was a sportswriter. He was known for his writing style. I learned from him. Tapos he became an editor. Then he died. He voted for the benefits and rights of Bulletin reporters nung nag-i-strike. Tapos when he went to Standard, he tried to teach me how to write about tennis. He developed my writing skills. He didn't let me do light work. How to gather information, how to do an interview fast and quick without your sources saying "No comment." (Biscocho 1999)
Ramon Tulfo
Ben Rosario
Ramon Tulfo, my former boss, taught me how to write. Yung guts sa pagrereporting, nakuha ko yun kay Mr. Tulfo. Actually, kaya nga lang lumalaki ang sahod ko kasi yung salary niya sa pagcocolumn sa Bulletin, sa akin napupunta. Ganun kabait yan. Matulungin. (Siy 1999)
