Ariel and Maverick quiz Ka Bel
Crazy duo Ariel and Maverick ambushed Ka Bel yesterday at the Philippine Heart Center and spent most of the afternoon asking him insane questions (okay, some of them were reasonable and intelligent) and Ka Bel quite gamely answered them.
The staff and crew of ‘Tutoo TV’ on ABC 5 were the first people outside the Movement (actually, among the among the first people, period) to ever hear Ka Bel sing. Yep, Ariel and Maverick were able to convince Ka Bel to sing. He warbled about six lines of ‘Sumulong ka, Anakpawis,’ and we were all shocked and delighted.
The two out of this world ‘journalists’ then accompanied Ka Bel to congress and quizzed him about his life, advocacy, and why the hell he let himself be arrested by the police when he could have just socked them on the jaw and punched their lights out?
After the serious discussions which took place in Ka Bel’s office (the first time he was there since he was arrested) on the sixth floor, the three of them proceeded to do some boxing, with Ka Bel giving them some pointers.
The results of the entire crazy afternoon will be telecast on Monday, June 11, 2007 at 7pm over at ABC-5.
I wish I could get a transcript of the entire episode. I wonder if we could do a translation, in subtitles? Ka Bel’s supporters in the international community will go positively nuts.
Ka Bel’s sense of humor has never been so evident as during yesterday’s Q&A. I think he held well on his own against Ariel and Maverick.
