DESCRIPTION:
This video is dedicated to my Grandfather "Pedro Dioquino" a Survivor of Death March, a War Veteran and a Hero of BACON, Sorsogon.

The song "Portrait of a Dying Man" is an original Filipino music composed by Ramon Alphonsus D. Morato in 1994, performed by "Morato" and recorded in 2004 at Audiomax Recording Studio in Antipolo City.

The band met only twice, recorded two tracks and the rest was history.

Special thanks to my former band "Bedlam" Dick and Leo who conceptualized the musical score of this song. Thank you also to my cousin Henri Escobar for putting together amateur musicians to complete the band and make this recording possible. To my Uncle Coz Yambao, wherever you are, thanks for lending me your garage studio and for recording of the song.

To my Lolo Pedro, RIP, nasan ka man ngayon, kahit hindi ka namin nakita ng mommy, palagi ka nasa puso namin ng Lola at ng Mommy. Na ang katapangan na iyong ipinamalas at pagmamahal sa iyong bayan ay magsisilbing inspirasyon sa akin, sa iyong mga apo at sa mga tao na patuloy na niniwala sa kahulugan ng tunay at pinakamataas na antas ng pagmamahal " Ang Pagmamahal sa Bayan".
