    For Esmeria: with Love and Squalor

    December 23, 2010

    “There is a Light That Never Goes Out,” Morrissey would sing, and, for once, looking at an unbearable beauty straight in the eye, you somehow get a physical sense of what Moz means.

    Dining at Romulo Cafe with Ellen Adarna

    November 3, 2010

    Home-cooked goodness but with international elan and chic

    Named after Gen. Carlos P. Romulo—the first United Nations president from Asia—the Romulo Café is ensconced at the corner of Scout Tuason and Dr. Lazcano streets in Tomas Morato, Quezon City. Even before it opened, the stylish, sleek façade was enough to make curious motorists stop and inquire when it would open. The aesthetic carries over to the restaurant’s black-and-white interiors, its’ walls adorned by framed photographs of the famed diplomat with prominent personalities like American presidents John F.

    His name is Danilo D. Jomoc, Sr., born forty-seven years ago to a farmer and his wife in Inopacan, Leyte. His education includes several years in Macagoco Elementary School, and not much else. In 1989, he applied for an opening in Agila Gas, a fuel trucking business owned by a man named Leonardo Tioseco.

    Jomoc quit in 2005. When he applied again, he listed Tioseco as his character reference. He spelled it “Tioceco.”
