obsession?

--i'm posting herewith andaya's text message to me dtd april 18 1t 10:34am. i think this was the time when libera was stranded in greece.... in jest, i told him they could do another concert either at the parthenon or acropolis - his repy -

"Problema kasi they cannot just perform without preparation...36hr bus ride yung
kaharap nila. They will have to stop several times. The bill will be big which is why I am
encouraging those that can donate to do so..."

Rome, Lisbon and Athens only open entry points to Europe...Please encourage people
to visit the link I posted on 360 and give even if it's just 5 or 10 quid...A thousand fans
doing that will help a lot.

firstly, andaya doesn't have a sense of humor... i told IN JEST about libera holding a concert in greece.

secondly, i know the good intention is there for libera and crew BUT why would a third world country donate to somebody as rich as england? don't we have enough hungry people in our beloved phil. islands? a thousand fans? where and how the hell will he produce a thousand fans?!

thirdly, donation is in pounds! doesn't he realize money is so precious here esp for average-income student and workers who have shelled out already so much to buy libera's CDs and tickets for their concert?

fourth, does libera management or even roberto de ocampo know of this heroic intention of andaya?

would it had been better if andaya asked everyone for prayers instead? after all, prayers with good intentions go straight to heaven while donations don't go directly to their recipients.

i did my share of praying (and i'm sure all libera fans too) for a safe journey back to their families and hopefully nobody got sick considering the long trips esp for the little ones.
