Di pa nga tayo nakakarecover on Manny Pacquiao’s Victory eh all of a sudden sad news has struck us. The man who brought us pito-pito, the man who brought us clearer television signals, honey with garlic, hayyyy…
As a child, I grew up listening to him in DZMM. I was an avid listener. Everyday yon, 8:00 pm. At first kala ko boring ang AM, but di ko na narealized i got hooked with it na. I learned alot from him. Hayyyy, every Pinoy will truly miss him. Goodbye Ka Ernie. *sad*
