I happen to like "Florante at Laura", and I would not replace it with any "grow rich" formula. This song happens to be the story of a people (Florante) and their motherland (Laura) struggling for freedom from imperialistic rule. Today we are still in the grip of foreign domination, and we're just too blind to see it. One little pressure from Bush and GMA comes wagging her tail. When will we learn to come and free "Florante at Laura"? P~Manalastas _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
