Before the start of the second world war, we were seven young men, all surnamed de Leon, trying to SHOW braveRY. The eldest was CarlosJr (Canchu). and the yougest was Julian (Bong), both sons of Carlos de lEON,Senor.tHE OTHER TWO WERE Nunilo, MYSELF and Nestor, BOTH SONS OF Roque. aLL OF US WERE PLAYMAts AMONG BUSHES, LOCATED BEHIND Cine Malolos, CLOSE TO THE sANTOS CLINIC. On that particular morning, Dr.Santos himself appeared from the bushes and invited us into his clinic. All of us lined up in answer to our grandfaher' invitation. Julian and Nestor were however excluded because they were too young FOR THE RITES OF "BAPTISM".
