  2. Dear Mr Liwanang,

    I am a Swiss journalist based in Geneva, and I am currently working for the show “Tout un Monde”, about international matters.
    I have just seen your documentary “Duterte’s Hell” on Field of Vision website. It interested me greatly and I would like to make an interview with you or your colleague Aaron Goodman (I am also writing an email to him). I would like to talk about your documentary, and through it about the current situation in Philippines.

    Would you be interested in this interview? If you are available, I would like to do it during this week already.

    Thank you very much for your answer,

    Best regards,

  3. Hi Brod Luis. Brod Guy Eleazar here (EO Eleazar at Facebook). I am doing “pocket tributes” of Brods and Sisses, from all chapters for publication as poster in our Kappa Epsilon Facebook Groups.

    Your credentials are impressive Brod! Congratulations! I worked with Dae in organizing the LSD gig at HG. Unfortunately, I never got to know you personally.

    If it is okay with you to be the subject of my next “pocket tribute” for social media, please give me some details about your fraternity history (school initiated, batch, batchmates if you can recall, and positions held in the fraternity).

    Looking forward to hear from you bro.

    Thanks.

    Brod Guy
