Manila, 21 April—Happy Easter greetings! How did your long-ish weekend go? Holy Week has always been a big vacation, even during my newspaper days—Good Friday and Black Saturday were the only days in the year where we did not publish a newspaper, so that meant everybody had a couple of days off, even if they belonged to editorial. A long time ago, this meant we could organize brief beach trips at work. Those were crazier days full of 10-hour-plus van rides to beaches in the middle of the Holy Week exodus traffic. It was always exhausting, and although we always came back with sunburnt faces and achy backs, we always did with huge smiles on our faces.
