As I write this, cultural maven and journalist Pablo Tariman is sharing, as it unfolds, the arrangements for the wake of slain poet, writer, and revolutionary Ericson Acosta, his son-in-law.The couple were killed on separate occasions about a year apart in Negros by military forces.
By now you will have read or watched news items about both slayings. You will have heard accusations that both Ericson and Kerima were communists, members of this or that left-wing group, engaged in battle against the government.Otherwise, you will not be able to make a fair and accurate judgment about this.
On the part of Pablo Tariman, Ericson and Kerima’s son Emman, and their other relatives and friends, they are grieving the painful loss of a son-in-law, father, friend. Many without a close personal connection to Ericson, but who are admirers of his political stance, his poetry and other writings, his music, and his courage and dedication to what he believed, in feel bereft.
A source claims that they were shot “parang si Heneral Luna” — a reference to the movie of the same title that portrayed the Philippine Revolution hero as having been riddled to death with bullets by soldiers in an ambush. As when Kerima died last year, her father Pablo is expressing his sorrow and anguish and trying to make sense of all this tragedy through writing poetry.DEATH IN THE MORNING
