As I walked to 7-Eleven to buy myself a drink to go with my lunch, there was a group of students practicing chanting Andres Bonifacio's Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Lupa on the steps of the auditorium. I then recalled Restie Umali's musical setting of that poem that our choir learned and sang some 25 years ago at the hands of the great composer himself. At first, I had a vague recollection of how the song went and then, bam! Yes, I remembered...and it was in F# minor. Now I can't seem to get it out of my head. Sigh! How I miss those times being piano accompanist of the choir.
