Dear All,

For your info, I had an interesting and successful radio interview with veteran Filipino radio broadcaster Sonny Laragan of Pinoy Radio London for two hours and 15 minutes last Sunday, 8 November 2009. The range of questions included those listed by Sonny below. A number of my songs were also played as breakers after annotating them briefly.

The interview shall be broadcast again on Sunday, 15 November, starting at 2 p.m. Netherlands time. Please check the equivalent of this in your time zone. I would appreciate it if you could alert others by forwarding this notice to them.

Pinoy Radio London reaches the four corners of the world and receives questions and feedbacks from listeners on a global scale. During the interview, I answered questions from compatriots in various countries.

Thank you for your attention.

Joma



Hello Ka Joma

Here are some of the questions we've got...

Ninoy Aquino once said that while he was imprisoned he nearly gave up saying he was only human? Did you ever reach that point when you almost gave up during your imprisonment?

Have you had near-death experiences?

What are your thoughts on the current crop of presidential aspirants?

Have you had the chance to see Mr Marcos face to face?

How did you become a communist?

When did you start writing poems?

Who were your musical influences? Were you a fan of the Beatles?

Do you play any musical instrument?

How was Joma Sison as a young student?

Did you have a first love? When and who was this?

Are you the brother of Ramon Sison, who appeared in MY FAVORITE YEAR as an ex Filipino boxer named "Rookie Carroca" in 1982? He also appeared as "Ferdy Marcos" in a song and dance skit in March 1986 at the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, singing with someone dressed as Haiti's Baby Doc Duvalier. Both dictators had just been ousted from office.

Did your brother have an influence on you musically?

When was the last time youâve talked to your family?

Are there any relatives of yours who are in government service?

What was your familyâs reactiion when you became a communist?

What is your reaction to the charge that while your cadres offer their lives in Philippine jungles, you are just enjoying his life in Europe and even was seen dancing with Ara Mina in one clip?

Do you really think it is realistic to expect your ideology to prevail as the system of governance in the Philippines?

What countries have you traveled to so far? Is there any country you wish to see?

Among our national heroes, who do you admire most?
