Adam David didn't write these variations on the first line of "Huling El Bimbo" for the actress who died of cardiac arrest last Monday April 27. We first heard David read them at Mag:net Katipunan's Happy Mondays in 2007. For the complete variations, and more, well, wasak stuff, visit Adam David at wasaaak.blogspot.com.
