Simon, ano ang nadagdag sa bagong libro? Meron kasi ako nung old issue, eh. Sayang, di ako nakapunta, sana napapirmahan ko rin yung copy ko.
Hindi ako familiar sa unang aklat, James. Ayon sa bagong libro ---"kasama ang screenplay ng Himala, mga artikulo, ilang maikling kuwento, at dalawa pang dagdag na artikulo tungkol sa Himala at kay Lino Brocka." May mga bagong visuals na inilagay.
I attended the event. It was indeed successful. I bought the book and have it signed by my 'idol,' Mr. Ricky Lee. I do hope he'll conduct scriptwriting workshops this year.
