From “Kate’s Simply Dessert” blog, a poignant remembrance:
” I am still in a state of shock. I just learned this afternoon that Maan Gale Bustaliño was one of the three casualties of the Congress blast last night. Maan was my student and yearbook staff. Somehow we’re friends and me pinagsamahan kami. Just last October 22 when I delivered a few boxes of cupcakes at the Senate, I asked the guard on duty and even the buyer of the cupcakes if they happen to know Maan. Kaya pala di nila kilala si Maan coz she doesn’t work there. Now, I know she works at the Congress, but only after she’s dead. So sad, really…”
