The rage then, during the 60s, was the crimebuster partners of Batman and Robin. My brother, Erich (Moy) and Roncalli (Kiloy) were playmates. They were the Pinoy Ilocano version of Batman and Robin. Both boys have their toy guns and their make-believe enemies. How capable were they to create those sound effects - "pow...bangbang.." and nalaing da met nga agtulid-tulid tapno saan nga matirwan itti bala dayti paltog.
My brother, in fact, had his own costumes together with a favorite hat that he refused to take off uray naka-ang-angdod itti ulo nan. Adda pay aldaw nga dina kayat itti agsukat for he did not want to remove his outfit. Will he be like Samson whose strength did diminish the moment he had his locks trimmed?
Roncalli, on the other hand, must be the Batman character between the two of them.
Adda bassit nga pagmulaan da idiay likod itti balay iddi nga masapol nga masibugan no malem. Ag-ap-apura nga pinirmi ni Kiloy ag-ala itti danum nga pagsibug na tapno maka-ayayam da mannen.
Summer trips to Agno were fun for my little brother. Just like me and Cecil, he never ran out of playmates and toys. Tiyo Nabe was kind enough to even teach him how to "ag-irob" - iniruban. Dayti balay da kenni Tiya Mameng ket kaabay la itti balay da Tatay.
